Recreation
Anglers fish for rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat trout on the Uinta River. The Uinta River Trailhead is just up the road, providing access to the Chain Lakes region of the High Uintas Wilderness. Hiking, backpacking and horseback riding are popular in the wilderness area, and numerous sparkling lakes provide great backcountry fishing opportunities.
Facilities
The campground contains one large group site that can accommodate up to 150 people. Several picnic tables and campfire rings with grills are scattered throughout the area. Vault toilets and trash collection are provided. The available water is not potable. Campers must bring their own supply. Roads and parking spurs are gravel.
Natural Features
The campground lies in an open meadow beneath towering Ponderosa pines. Summer wildflowers and wildlife are abundant.

No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

Full? Watch it.
One email when a night opens, plus More Than Just Parks dispatches. Unsubscribe any time.
We read recreation.gov once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time a site in your window is free for the nights you asked for.
Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.

What you actually pay
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.
