Showers, clean flush- and pit-toilets. Easy access to the gorge and water access for swimming or boating.

Visitor center for the dam was closed though during reasonable hours.

We had one of our best camping experiences, ever. This place is so well taken care of! When we arrived we were amazed to see our entire campsite cleaned & raked. The asphalt parking pad, wall & the roads & buildings in good repair. The bathrooms and showers were numerous & always clean & in good repair. The trash dumpster was convenient. Sue, the caretaker, always met us with a smile. She was well-informed & helpful. When we lost a hat, she was very personable & concerned. She seemed happy when we found it. Our Consumer Cellular mobile phone service worked with 2-3 bars of service generally.

We will definitely return to this campground!

Forest Service still does not have water to dump station. No showers since Forest service burnt up hot water heaters and not replaced yet.

Perfect location for Marina activities, the Flaming Gorge Dam and highway loop. Awesome hikes nearby - recommend the Canyon Rim hike from the lodge to the visitor center!

The campground is pleasant and quiet. It is somewhat remote from the reservoir itself. The biggest problem is that there was no running water whatsoever at the campground, although it is advertised as having showers and flush toilets. There was no notification of this situation and no reduction in fees. This is false advertising in the extreme. I think recreation.gov facilities can do much better than this!
