About
Arch Dam Campground sits in rolling high desert terrain dotted with sagebrush and pinyon pines at an elevation of 6,200 feet within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. This group-only facility is specifically designed for large gatherings and offers three nonelectric sites: one accommodating up to 60 people and two accommodating up to 75 people each. Each site includes picnic tables and a campfire circle. Beautiful Flaming Gorge Reservoir is accessible just 3 miles from the campground and is renowned for world-class fishing for lake, brown, and rainbow trout. Cedar Springs Marina is nearby for boating access. Activities include water skiing, jet skiing, kayaking, swimming, and scuba diving. Flaming Gorge Dam is less than a mile away and offers guided tours of the working hydroelectric plant. The adjacent visitor center features area history exhibits. The Green River below the dam provides spectacular rafting opportunities with unique geology, outlaw history, and Native American rock art.
