NE Utah Campsites for RV Boondocking

These are the NE Utah Campsites we've occupied in our RV Boondocking Travels. The Arbitrary lines I've drawn to mark off the NE Quarter of the state is an East/West line through Nephi, on I-15 and Helper on U.S. 191 and Using the I-15 corridor as the Western Boundry

Elevation: approximately 7400'

435-789-1181

Type of Camp: Improved Fee: $15

Number of Sites: Skull Creek (17), Red Canyon (8), Greens Lake (20), Canyon Rim (20)

Rig Size Limitations: Full sized rigs should have little trouble in most of the Campgrounds *except* for Red Canyon. There were only one or two sites in the Red Canyon Camp to fit 30' plus rigs, at least to my eye

Road Surface: Paved interior roads with a good number of the site pads paved.

Cell Signal: Within the Red Canyon Complex area there seemed to be functional signal without amplification. Helped to have an amplifier.

Canyon Rim Campground, Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area

Follow Utah 44 East from Manila, or West from it's intersection with U.S. 191 to approximately MM 3.4 at FR 95/Red Canyon road. Turn North.

Greens Lake, Canyon Rim and Red Canyon Campgrounds, are reached on Red Canyon Road/ FR95, in that order, with Red Canyon Campground being approximately 2 miles from the intersection. Skull Creek Campground is located 1 mile east, of the Red canyon Rd/FR95 and Utah 44 intersection on the North side of Utah 44.

We have used, Canyon Rim, Red Canyon and Skull Creek Campgrounds, and found them all to be nice camps.

How I found This Camp: All these campgrounds were found using our maps and Forest Service websites.

Season/Month I Observed: We've been here in mid summer and mid spring

Weather I experienced: The mid summer weather was warm to hot and dry... the mid spring of 2011 was mostly cold/wet

Comments: Stop in one of the Visitor Centers and pickup the Ashley National Forest Visitor guide... Dump Station locations and much info!

If you want the close availability of water and the use of outhouses, the FS campgrounds are all real nice... and judging by our experience... not heavily used. There is also much dispersed camping available in the area.

Road Surface: Graded Dirt Forest Road

Cell Signal: The location we used is only 1/4 mile or so off the pavement of Utah 44. At that point, The signal comes and goes, mostly 1X... I found equal signal at a couple sites farther up along Deep Creek Road.With my Cellular amplifier working I had full function of my cell and air card.

There are several locations for dispersed camping in the area. There are a few on the side trails leading off of Utah 44, between Red Canyon road and Deep Creek road.

Also, for several miles up Deep Creek Road, south of Utah 44 there are a number of Dispersed Camping sites.

In the spring, I'd advise using one of the Forest Service Improved campgrounds nearby... and give yourself time to scoutlocations. The ground gets pretty wet from the winter... and you'll want to make sure it's dried off and firmed up enoughto allow you to pull a rig in without doing damage.
