Clean, new, spacious, empty campground. Each site has privacy, some have covered pavilions over the picnic table. Quiet, far enough from the highway. Looks like good mountain biking trails adjacent to the campground but we did not have our bikes. Really easy to pay for sites online while at the kiosk at the entrance, no cash needed which is awesome. A few miles out of Vernal so good proximity to services.
