Lodgepole Campground

Cool breezes carry the scent of pine and wildflowers through the shaded nooks of Lodgepole Campground, a serene retreat perched at 8,000 feet within the Ashley National Forest. This peaceful campground is a short 26-mile drive north of Vernal, Utah, and offers direct access to nearby hiking trails and the stunning Flaming Gorge Reservoir, just 10 miles away.

Set among a picturesque mix of aspen and pine trees, Lodgepole Campground provides a secluded and tranquil atmosphere. With 35 individual campsites featuring picnic tables and campfire rings, it’s well-suited for small groups and families. The absence of running water and dump stations creates a more rustic experience, while paved roads and spurs add convenience. Visitors can purchase firewood on-site to enjoy cozy evenings by the fire.

The Flaming Gorge Recreation Area, located within a 30-minute drive, offers world-class fishing opportunities for trout species, alongside activities such as boating, kayaking, and scuba diving. Nearby attractions also include the Flaming Gorge Dam and Green River, which offer breathtaking vistas, guided tours, and thrilling rafting experiences.
