Uinta River
Open May through September. Reservations required through Recreation.gov. No potable water available; campers must bring their own supply.
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
Uinta River Group Campground sits in a scenic meadow surrounded by towering Ponderosa pines in Ashley National Forest, approximately 25 miles north of Roosevelt, Utah. At 7,600 feet elevation, the campground offers a single large group site capable of accommodating up to 150 people, making it ideal for family reunions, scout troops, and other large gatherings. The site features gravel surfaces, vault toilets, trash collection, multiple picnic tables, and campfire rings with grills scattered throughout the area. The Uinta River runs adjacent to the campground, providing excellent fishing opportunities for rainbow, brown, brook, and cutthroat trout. Summer brings abundant wildflowers and wildlife viewing opportunities. Just up the road, the Uinta River Trailhead serves as the gateway to the Chain Lakes region of the High Uintas Wilderness, where visitors can enjoy hiking, backpacking, and horseback riding. Campers should note that only non-potable water is available, so groups must bring their own drinking water supply. Reservations are required through Recreation.gov. Pets are permitted but must remain leashed at all times within the campground. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Directions
From Roosevelt, Utah, travel north on State Highway 121 to Neola, then follow Uinta and Ouray Indian Reservation Road to Forest Service Road 118. The campground is approximately 25 miles from Roosevelt.
