Yellowstone Campground
Yellowstone Campground lies along its pretty namesake river on the southern slope of the Uinta Mountains, about 40 miles from Duchesne, Utah. Visitors come to the area to enjoy its extensive off-road trail system and great fishing opportunities. Natural Features: The campground sits on the banks of the Yellowstone River at an elevation of 7700 feet. A forest of aspen, maple and Ponderosa pine covers the area. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant. Recreation: The Yellowstone River offers fishing for rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat trout. The Yellowstone ATV Trail System is conveniently close, with over 50 miles of trail on the Petty Mountain and Dry Gulch Loops. Hiking and biking are also allowed on these trails. Facilities: The campground contains one group site with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills. Forty people, four vehicles and four camp trailers/RV units can be accommodated. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided. Roads and parking spurs are gravel. Several first come, first served single sites are available as well. Nearby Attractions: Yellowstone Canyon offers beautiful mountain scenery, additional first come, first served campgrounds, a small reservoir and trailheads with access to the High Uintas Wilderness. Hiking, backpacking and horseback riding are popular in the wilderness area and numerous sparkling lakes provide great backcountry fishing opportunities.
