Ashley National Forest campgrounds provide beautiful, scenic, and peaceful natural settings with spacious sites and access to many outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, and boating. Visitors frequently praise helpful and friendly camp hosts and generally well-maintained sites with clean bathrooms and picnic amenities. However, common challenges include inconsistent or limited water availability, occasional unclean or out-of-service restrooms and showers, noise disturbances, crowded or tight campsites, and management or reservation system issues. Some campgrounds face maintenance problems, road access difficulties, and occasional rude or unhelpful staff. Despite these issues, many campers enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities offered by the forest.

we were called 2 days before our reserved arrival date telling us they had just closed the campground then stuck us in a spot in firefighters. Utah you can do better. If it wasn't for sheep canyon drive which was beautiful, I d called the trip a wash.

Amazing experience! It was clean and with the wood burning stove, the main room was warm. The second room was too chilly for us at night so we all slept in the main room. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. We went down to Dinosaur National Monument for a day. We didn’t get cell service (Mint Mobile) at the property, but a short 3 minute drive up the hill was all it took to reconnect when we needed to. I was glad we had lanterns and flashlights. Bring plenty of water for drinking and washing.

Great place. Very secluded and quiet. Being later in the year, water was shut off, but we knew that. Had a great time.

The yurt and country up there was fantastic as usual. And I actually ran into a Forest Service member to chat with once. This was my 3rd time booking the yurt. Only complaint is with lacking supplies there were zero spare camp fuel canisters and no hatchet to make kindling (important) luckily I brought my own hatchet. Did not bring extra camp fuel (for once) because there had always been plenty in the past. Made the experience that much more rustic I suppose (: I’ve left some for the next people before and other items such as board games, TP, canned food, even blankets to cover the nasty fly covered mattresses haha.. etc. Always nice to see people leave something useful for the next as that really helps it be a great place to get away for a time. Enjoyed the stay, saw some deer and elk. Plan to be back. We should be in for an excellent winter. Oh and I left some handmade feather keychains this time; feel free to take one or a few with you when you leave if you make it up there. Please don’t try to go up in anything 2wd or low clearance. Best.

Easy to reserve and a great experience, great campsite.

Keep your options open

Watch for a matching campsite across monitored campgrounds in Ashley National Forest.

Popularity: Quiet

Busiest in November, when about 22% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 6 years of reservations.
