About

Cedar Springs Campground is located in the beautiful Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area on the Ashley National Forest at an elevation of 6,100 feet. The campground is situated among juniper, pinyon pine and sagebrush on a hillside above Flaming Gorge Reservoir, with many sites offering scenic views of the reservoir below. Shade is limited but the vegetation provides good privacy between sites. Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Cedar Springs Marina are less than a mile from the campground, providing easy access to world-class fishing for lake, brown and rainbow trout. Boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and scuba diving are popular activities on the reservoir. Bear Canyon Trail, an easy 3-mile round-trip trail for hiking and mountain biking, begins nearby and leads to views of Red Canyon and Flaming Gorge. The area is known for its beautiful red cliffs and offers access to Flaming Gorge Dam tours and the Green River for rafting opportunities.
