We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the campground and sites. The camp managers were friendly and willingly helped when asked for assistance. We were disappointed that several of the restrooms in our loop were closed due to maintenance. But that is to be expected with regard to the need to maintain and clean them. We did have one issue with the asphalt curbing around the tables and along side where trailers and vehicles are parked, and especially in the handicap site which limited wheelchair access. They are a tripping hazard for older people and young children.We were happy to have a dump station at the site and also access to water to fill our trailer.One of our activities was to see the dam and we were unaware that access closed at 3:30 and wasn't open on Saturdays. A posted notice would have been helpful in planning our activities.Overall, our experience was very good! Thank you.

Stayed in A loop which is reservation only and liked this campground so much I moved to B loop which is first come first serve. Even having stayed over the July 4 th holiday campers were respectful of the quiet times and the camp hosts Darlene and Tony were fantastic keeping everything ship shape! The site in A loop required all 20 of my leveling blocks and still was a bit off, but worth it for the view. Almost level at the site in B loop. Dump was open for $10 feet and portable water fill was also available near the dump station. Well run campground, with nice private sites in a stunningly beautiful area!

I really appreciate the slightly higher altitude than other campgrounds. I have stayed in the area. Everything was great parking is limited, but you can get by.I thought it was an excellent campground aside from the water supply issue.
@CoryM3811192 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #68
The restroom by our campsites was closed, they were having water issues. The other closest restroom was a hike for us, then on Saturday when we were packing up they turned the water off on the only restroom that was working so our whole group had to leave the campground to use the restroom. They should have brought in portables for the campground to use until they fixed their water issues.Very disappointed!
@MikeG7513747 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #68
Firefighters Memorial is in an incredibly beautiful area. The sites are spaced out well.Would have been nice to know the restrooms in our loop were out of order before we booked the site, I would have most likely tried for a site in a different loop.
@JamesG6676411 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #80
The camp host was, very engaged. Met us as we were pulling in to tell us that the bathrooms in our loop (C) were all out of order. He went on to tell us he took another women's toilet out of service on the B loop because people didn't know to hold the handle entil the flush was complete and he was tired of watching other peoples turds go down the drain. Then, when he saw our dog he made a point of emphasizing the 6' leash law. Next day while I was walking my dog on the 6' lead the camp host rounded the corner with his dog and no leash. His dog attacked my dog and I had to kick him like a football to get him to back away.Didn't like the host, didn't like the long term delapidation of the facilities. Liked the location.
@RonT5990506 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #24
Always love staying at this campground. The host is Awesome. Very friendly and helpful
@BernhardSA6BCA · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #88
We were on campsite 89. Site was not level and we had to set up diagonally to be able to level our 34ft motorhome. Water was available across the road and dump station ($10) at the exit of the Campground. Road noise was present but not intrusive.
@LarryC7765348 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #20
The descriptions of the sites are not accurate. The night that we stayed there all the restrooms were locked and unavailable. There was a camp host on site, but would not answer the door to explain what was going on or to offer any help. I would never stay there again.
@TylerP1624363 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #21
Beautiful area! Flushing toilets and drinking water nearby. We had a spot without much shade coverage (site a-21) and on the edge of the grounds so the wind and sun were too much for our liking. Next time we will choose another spot at the site but would definitely come back!

I grew up camping in this loop, and decided to try a different campsite. This one may be my favorite at Firefighters. Its a bit tucked away and your only neighbors that you can see are the camp host to your right, and campground five across the road. It tends to be a bit more quiet and relaxed since youre not so close to other campers. That being said, heres what you need to know. -cell service is okay - I had 5G at 2 bars. -there is a fire pit with a built in grill. -the picnic table is long. Regular sized table covers probably wont cut it. I bought a table cover from Amazon and it was just barely long enough. -there are trees. You will have partial shade all throughout the day. -speaking of trees, they were great for our clothesline and hammock. -bring your own soap for the bathroom with a hand towel. -bathroom is close to this campsite just up the road.

Beautiful campground with campsites spaced out so you are not on top of your neighbors. It is also very close to the dam if you are inclined to access the river.
@Elizabeth31927 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #25
Having the option to shower at the neighboring camp was appreciated! Unfortunately you can't gather wood in the campground., this seem like it encourages people to transport wood from other places, which causes more problems. The toilets seem to clog easily as it happened once for men and women stall. However, the campground host was quick to address it and they were very kind. Love how campground sites have lots of privacy.(we had loop A, 25, 26, 27. The wind did break two of our tents. Beautiful area, would visit again.

The campground was great, we enjoyed camping here, just don't expect the site to easily accommodate larger groups, even though the sites say they accommodate up to 10 people. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us at the camp site, that wasn't the issue. The problem came with parking the vehicles. Our family group (10 people) had the truck pulling the camp trailer, another truck pulling the boat, and an SUV. The truck and camp trailer fit in the site, but left no room for the other vehicles. The paved sites are about 9 feet wide and have raised pavement "sides" that are 6" tall. Parking our camp trailer as close to one of these edges as I could get, the stairs on the other side came right to the raised edge. It made a tripping hazard getting in and out of the trailer, and effectively made it so we could not park 2 vehicles in front of the camper. There is no overflow parking in the campground for the extra vehicles. Even though the campground was not full, the hosts only solution was to have us pay for another camp site at $26 per night for our three night stay just to have the room to park our vehicles, either that or have the inconvenience of parking them several miles away and shuttling people back and forth. We were not the only ones affected this way, there were several other groups that had to pay for an extra camp site just to use the parking. I would guess that at least half of the walk up sites were filled this way (Labor Day Weekend, 2023). The draw to this camp site is the proximity to Flaming Gorge, which means people will bring their water toys, and need extra parking. This campground NEEDS an overflow parking lot. There are plenty of places to do dispersed camping in Ashley National Forest for free, and next time I think we will skip the extra $78 on our three night camping trip by going a few miles further up the mountain to one of those dispersed camping areas where we will not have to pay for a site.

We enjoyed the stay a lot very clean bathrooms great place to stay
@WadeL338F5E7D0 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #10
The site we picked was a bit difficult to back into -- but got it done. Nice table and fire pit which was used -- the lake was not too far away. Good host -- overall a good experience, but it is a busy campground
@Johannv4FA4520 · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #11
Camp host was great and very nice facilities, and close to a lot of recreational activities.
@DavidN9135851 · Camped on Jul 11, 2023 at Campsite #16
only stayed in campsite for 2 hours. Found a different area where our dogs could run.
@CarlH7311691 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #23
Campground was clean and quiet, perfect distance for lake access along with all the other activities we wanted to do.
@KylerM6CFCD114 · Camped on Jun 10, 2023 at Campsite #16
Wonderful views, clean campground. Clean facilities.
@JERRYH8455525 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #89
We enjoy Firefighters Camp grounds. The location is prime for getting to Flaming Gorge and the resorts quickly. I do wish they didn't have the asphalt curbing along the road. It makes it challenging to get in a few of the sights with a 40ft trailer..... Even our family with a 35ft trailer had issues with their chosen site and ended up moving to one with easier access.
@MichaelT862538 · Camped on Aug 7, 2022 at Campsite #81
Convenient to fishing, boating, restaurants. It is a nice campground with clean flush toilets and water everywhere.
@PatrickG766825 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #8
We spent about 10 wonderful days at Firefighters Memorial Campground. One of the camp hosts, Mickey, and his wife were very accommodating. We were in a first-come-first-serve spot for several days and had reserved another spot for later in the trip. Every time we changed our minds about where we wanted to stay, they worked with us to make sure that we were happy. They could have just gone purely by what we had reserved, but they went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.
The facilities were always clean and everyone was just so friendly.
@SandroG6359510 · Camped on Jul 28, 2022 at Campsite #81
Very nice place! We liked it a lo. One improvent could be, that the dumpstation is free to use for the people who are staying at the campground

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
