Reservoir
Open seasonally from May through September. First-come, first-served; no reservations. No potable water available on site.
Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.

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.
