We had several campsites over Labor Day weekend. The campground seems run down—huge potholes, foul toilets—and not worth the fee. It’s also worth noting that the lake is more of a pond and requires a special license from the lodge to fish. There’s not much of a shoreline, and we didn’t bother with the lake, even though it was the main reason we chose that campground. We also had issues with two of the sites—they were not labeled by the host, and someone had begun to set up camp in one of the sites we had reserved. Luckily, the party was agreeable to move because there was no one to contact for assistance. We won’t be staying again.

Easy to make reservations. Campsite marked for us upon arrival. Beautiful location in Ashley Nation Forest. Close, easy access to Greens Lake for kayaking.

Nice little lake. Rent a paddle board or kayak and play close by. Don't miss driving out to the end of the Red Canyon overlook. Beautiful views. Greens lake is also close to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Rent a boat and spend some time on the reservoir playing and fishing.
