Deer Run Campground
Deer Run Campground is a small campground that is located in the beautiful Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area on the Ashley National Forest. Deer Run is situated among juniper, pinyon pine and sagebrush above Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Shade is limited and the reservoir is not visible from the campground. A resident deer herd gives this site its name. A dump station and marina are located in the immediate area at Cedar Springs. Other dump stations are located at Antelope Flat, Firefighters, and Lodgepole Campgrounds. There is a fee for the use of the dump stations. Trash collection is available. Showers are available at this campground, as well as at Mustang Ridge. Campers need to have proof of camping registration. Firewood is available to purchase from the campground host. Don’t Move Firewood: Help prevent the spread of tree-killing pests in our national forests by obtaining firewood near your destination and burning it on-site. For more information visit dontmovefirewood.org. For larger groups, the nearby Arch Dam, Greendale, Dripping Springs, Antelope Flat and Dutch John Draw Campgrounds have several group sites available. Nearby Activities • Flaming Gorge Reservoir is known not only for its beautiful red cliffs, but also for its world-class fishing for lake, brown and rainbow trout. Boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and scuba diving are popular activities on the reservoir. Cedar Springs Marina is adjacent. • Bear Canyon Trail, an easy 3-mile round-trip trail for hiking and mountain biking, begins nearby and leads to views of Red Canyon and Flaming Gorge. • Flaming Gorge Dam offers guided tours of the working hydroelectric plant and the dam, and the adjacent visitor center contains area history exhibits. • The Green River below the dam provides spectacular rafting opportunities.
