Lodgepole At Flaming Gorge

About

Lodgepole Campground is nestled in a scenic aspen forest dotted with pines at 8,000 feet elevation, located 26 miles north of Vernal, Utah within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. The campground provides a shady, secluded setting with summer wildflowers and pleasant fall color. All 36 sites are first-come-first-served with paved roads and parking spurs, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. The reservoir is approximately 10 miles away, offering world-class fishing for lake, brown, and rainbow trout. Cedar Springs Marina is less than 10 miles from the campground. Popular activities include boating, water skiing, jet skiing, kayaking, swimming, and scuba diving. The Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam provides spectacular rafting opportunities with unique geology, outlaw history, and Native American rock art. Facilities include potable water, vault toilets, trash collection, and an RV dump station. Firewood is available for purchase from the camp host. Showers are not on-site but are accessible at nearby Deer Run and Mustang Ridge campgrounds with proof of camping registration.
