* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle Country, San Rafael Swell, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central Utah, Southern Mountains, Western Canyonlands, Lower Washington County and Zion National Park. * WHEN...From late Saturday night through Sunday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, dry washes, slot canyons, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations such as slickrock areas and recent burn scars. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Widespread moderate to at times heavy precipitation is expected across much of southern, southeast and east central Utah beginning late Saturday night, and continuing throughout the day Sunday. Moist antecedent conditions from recent heavy rains will result in efficient and excessive runoff, allowing all area washes, streams and rivers to run fast and high. Flood prone areas will likely become inundated at times, and backcountry roads will likely become impassable from this excessive runoff. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
Rosebud ATV Campground is a small, primitive campground located high on the Colorado Plateau in the Fishlake National Forest at 8,300 feet elevation. Situated in a ponderosa pine forest on the east side of Boulder Mountain, Pleasant Creek flows near the site. The campground is designed for off-road vehicle enthusiasts, providing direct access to the Rosebud ATV Trail. The trail leads to Lower Bowns Reservoir, offering fishing and boating opportunities. Capitol Reef National Park lies approximately 30 miles to the east, featuring excellent hiking trails, historic sites, and breathtaking red rock scenery. Utah Highway 12, a National Scenic Byway known for its stunning canyon and desert landscapes, passes nearby. The campground has four single-family sites with vault toilets and picnic tables. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. This is a pack-it-in/pack-it-out facility with no trash service. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
