Aspen

About

Aspen Campground is nestled in the scenic North Fork Drainage on the southern slope of the Uinta Mountains, about 13 miles from Tabiona, Utah. At 7,200 feet elevation, the campground occupies a forest of aspen, subalpine fir, lodgepole pine, and spruce just above the North Fork Duchesne River. Summer wildflowers are plentiful, and several sites offer river views. The campground contains 30 campsites including single-family sites (up to 8 people), double-family sites (up to 16 people), and one group site accommodating up to 32 people. All sites have picnic tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets and trash collection are provided. Roads and parking spurs are dirt. Fishing for brook, brown, and rainbow trout is a primary draw. The North Fork Drainage also provides access to the Granddaddy Lake region of the High Uintas via Grandview Trail, where backpacking, hiking, and horseback riding are popular among visitors seeking high-alpine lakes and wilderness terrain.
