About
Reservoir Campground is a primitive camping area at 7,900 feet elevation in the Uinta Mountains of Ashley National Forest. Located near Yellowstone Reservoir and the Yellowstone River, it serves as a base for anglers, hikers, and OHV enthusiasts exploring this remote corner of northeastern Utah. The campground provides vault restrooms but no potable water, so campers must pack in their own supply. At $5 per night, it offers an affordable option for those seeking solitude and wilderness access. The Swift Creek Trailhead at the end of Forest Road #124 provides direct entry to the High Uintas Wilderness. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Dogs are permitted but must remain leashed. Firewood cannot be transported into the area due to pest prevention regulations.
Directions
From Duchesne, Utah on Highway 40, head north on Highway 87 for 15.5 miles to the Mountain Home turnoff. Continue north approximately 6 miles on county roads, then follow Yellowstone Road (Forest Road #119) north for 9 miles to the campground.
