About

Riverview Campground is located along the scenic Yellowstone River on the southern slope of the Uinta Mountains in Ashley National Forest, approximately 40 miles north of Duchesne, Utah. Situated at an elevation just under 8,000 feet, the campground offers a cool mountain setting surrounded by aspen, maple, and pine forest. Fishing is a primary attraction at Riverview, with the Yellowstone River offering opportunities to catch rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout. The campground serves as a convenient base for wilderness exploration, with trailhead access to the High Uintas Wilderness available at the Swift Creek Trailhead located at the end of Forest Road 124. The area is also popular with off-road vehicle enthusiasts who come to explore the extensive trail system in the Yellowstone Drainage. The campground has a maximum RV length limit of 20 feet due to the mountain road access and site configuration. Riverview operates seasonally, typically from late spring through early fall, with first-come, first-served availability early in the season before transitioning to reservations through Recreation.gov around Memorial Day weekend.
