Summary
Skull Creek is a well-maintained, quiet campground offering plenty of shade and convenient access to hiking trails, making it a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts. The sites are clean, and visitors appreciated the attentive campground staff. However, there is no water available on-site, and some facilities, like the back-in drive and toilets, could use improvements.

Skull Creek was an acceptable campground. The site we had was fairly level for our trailer. The back-in drive had very old broken up blacktop. Most of the sites appeared in similar condition. There is no water available at this campground, so bring your own. The toilets were a bit smelly if you were downwind. The campground is nice and shady, offering coolness on hot days. We could hear the highway but it was not disturbing. It is a rustic, forest service campground.
Access to the hiking trail was very convenient.

Very quite and secluded feeling. Flaming Gorge is beautiful and the fishing was awesome. Was definitely one of our better sites on our two week journey through the Flaming Gorge, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone adventure.

We stayed here for 3 nights and our experience was great! We were told ahead of time there wasn't any water on site, so we came prepared with plenty of water. The sites are well maintained. Close enough to many points of interest and the marina. Plenty of shade from the trees. We loved it!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
