Stayed 2 nights early June. Less than half full on Thursday, but most sites taken Friday night. The first part of the CG is tent sites. Then there is a small loop suitable for towable campers. I think 2 of them were FCFS; the rest were reservable. Or possibly those were reservable but the one I stayed in didn't have reservations (?). Road is paved and the RV sites are paved. CG is in lightly forested ponderosas with open understory. Good space between sites, but not a lot of shrubbery to screen the sites. Sites had fire ring and picnic table. Vault toilets were reasonably clean and stocked with TP. The water spigots in the CG worked but I don't know if the water was potable. I had 1-3 bars of Verizon. The Rim Trail runs along the edge of the CG and makes a nice 1+ mile walk to the Visitor Center or you can walk about 3.5 miles to Greendale Overlook. Very pretty trail through the forest and partly along the rim. Fee was $25, half if you have the right pass.

We camped at Canyon Rim Campground in mid-May at campsite 13 with cool weather, a very peaceful atmosphere, and great views of Flaming Gorge. Our nightly rate of $12.50 reflects our Access Pass discount, otherwise the rate is $25.00 per night. The campground drive is paved, the RV campsite pads are also paved, and each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring. Sites 1 thru 9 are walk-in tent sites, sites 11 thru 16 are back-in RV sites. The RV sites are well spaced, private, and spacious with Ponderosa Pine trees providing plenty of shade. A vault toilet is located near the tent sites and a second vault toilet is located near the RV loop. Water is located in several areas throughout the campground, the trash container is located near the tent area. Three viewing areas of the gorge are located in the campground as well as a trail along the gorge that leads to the visitors center. We enjoyed the views of Flaming Gorge, the occasional Bighorn Sheep and Marmots that roamed the campground, and the peaceful surroundings.

We arrived mid-afternoon on a Friday and got the last available site suitable for our 33' 5th wheel. Of course, 2 of the largest sites were taken by vans. There are only 6 sites for rigs over 25' so I would not wait too late in the day. Most of the other nearby campgrounds are closed for the season which puts more pressure on this one. The water is turned off for the year so come prepared. Last year, we were here on the same date and there were only 2 other people. So its luck of the draw as to how crowded it is. There is a short walk to the canyon rim with great views of Flaming Gorge. Overall, we really like this CG, but it has one flaw. The Forest Service, in their wisdom, for some unknown reason, decided to put asphalt curbs on both sides of the narrow road by the sites. It makes it impossible to go around the circle without running up on the curbs with a trailer over 30'. We have NEVER encountered this in any other FS CG. Maybe Brother Bob had a curb business and needed work. Fortunately, it caused no damage, it cou

Even during Labor Day it was quiet for the most part. Sheep come right through the campground and came near our site. The water has sediments in it, so we ended up getting water at the campground next to the visitor center. Cost per night is $22. With senior pas it was $11.

First off, the views are amazing from the small trail to the canyon rim. We even saw some bighorn sheep up close hanging out by the bathroom!
This is a small campground with a single loop. While the National forest claims the largest RV that can fit is 45 feet, I would not recommend anything other than a small trailer for the loop area. It is a tight loop and almost single lane.
There is a small walk-in tent area and then a handfull of RV sites. The area is lightly treed and sites are well spaced. The road was very good, unlike other campgrounds in the area and also had the best cellular coverage.
There were vault toilets and trash dumpsters and water spigots.

We arrived at this secluded mountain-top National Park campground on a chilly, wet evening in late May with snow on the ground. For a while we were the only visitors. The sites are nicely paved but with no services. There are well-maintained facilities nearby however. The attraction here is the natural beauty of the place, perched on the edge of a rim overlooking the winding Green River. We were told by the friendly park ranger that the park gets much busier with warmer weather. That made me pleased to see the snow, even in late May.
Cell coverage is pretty spotty up here but it improves as you head down the mountain road. All in all a beautiful spot to spend the night.

Campground under ponderosa pine forest. Herd of big horn sheep in the area.
Some tent sites right on the canyon with amazing views. Limited amounts of level rv sites.
No host on site and we seen no other people of authority. On the weekend large group of campers making all kinds of noise till 10 pm including foul language loose dog was in other campsites barking at people. We were pretty far from it but felt bad for some of the campers closer to them. The water seemed to be a bit brown.
Also someone was emptying a tote tank in the pit toilet and rinsing his hose at the drinking faucet.

We got in Monday night in early May with our 30 ft RV around 7pm and found a number of available spots. The site is surrounded by trees and next to the rim trail. We walked a mile up to the Red Canyon viewpoint and must say we enjoyed the Canyon Rim Outlook more. It's lovely overall!

This is a small little campground right off the Red Canyon road. It is in a large meadow with many poderosa pine trees. Some of the sites have shade. I chose a more open site for the solar. And it is truly right on the edge of the canyon. The walk-in tent sites are just feet from the canyon rim and have amazing views of the canyon and Flaming Gorge Reservoir. There is a nice Canyon Rim trail with many good lookout locations. Clean pit toilets, water spickets around the camground, and trash service. The campground is about 2 miles from the Red Canyon Visitor Center, a nice stop, open 9-6 from Memorial Day through Labor Day. There are also a few other campgrounds that are very close. I had no trouble finding a spot mid week in early July. The best thing is the quiet, and pretty good cell service if you need to work, or stay connected.
