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 spent last than 24 hours here, so I felt like I couldn't give a 5 star with so little exposure. However, I found no issues with our stay. Clean restrooms, easy to find campsites, and a great trail to an overlook directly across the street.
