The campground provides level ground, easy access to trails, and a welcoming atmosphere thanks to friendly camp hosts. However, some amenities, such as water access and restroom facilities, could use improvement.

This was such a beautiful place to camp! We kayaked and hiked and our campsite was the perfect place to watch the sunset each night!

The view of the Flaming Gorge from Red Canyon campground is spectacular. We’ve come three years in a row and will keep coming back. Rafting the Green River at Dutch John is also a highlight.

This is a beautiful campsite. We were there early in the season, and were the only ones there. Our site (02) was only only steps from the edge of the magnificent Red Canyon, and a short walk to the Visitor Center, which has viewing platforms at the most dramatic vistas. A flat trail goes along the canyon edge--one mile to the next campground (Canyon Rim), and beyond to Red Canyon Lodge. Water spigots are scattered around the campground, but there is only one pit toilet location in the middle of the CG (with two single toilets).

Nice hiking and great views but we had a yellowjacket nest at the sight. Spacing was a little tight and campground road could use work.
