One of my favorite places to camp in the late summer. Views for days and perfect weather!

Would have been nice if I would have got noticed that there was no water available. Had to so to different campground to get water

Nice hiking and great views but we had a yellowjacket nest at the sight. Spacing was a little tight and campground road could use work.

Really really beautiful! Also very secluded when I visited (the weekend prior to Labor Day weekend) I was the only other camper in my loop. I love how the site comes close to the canyon rim. It's an easy hike to get a spectacular view! The fire pit was perfect for cooking and the bathrooms were only a short walk away. There were dumpsters to throw away trash before leaving. This site is a new favorite of mine!

Campsite with outstanding views. not too crowded and generously enough sized campsites. Running water is seasonally available.

@LaurenceMAD0F4 · Camped on May 30, 2023 at Campsite #2

This is a beautiful campsite. We were there early in the season, and were the only ones there. Our site (02) was only only steps from the edge of the magnificent Red Canyon, and a short walk to the Visitor Center, which has viewing platforms at the most dramatic vistas. A flat trail goes along the canyon edge--one mile to the next campground (Canyon Rim), and beyond to Red Canyon Lodge. Water spigots are scattered around the campground, but there is only one pit toilet location in the middle of the CG (with two single toilets).

The view of the Flaming Gorge from Red Canyon campground is spectacular. We’ve come three years in a row and will keep coming back. Rafting the Green River at Dutch John is also a highlight.

This was such a beautiful place to camp! We kayaked and hiked and our campsite was the perfect place to watch the sunset each night!

@AdamF1912245 · Camped on Jun 28, 2022 at Campsite #3

A quiet campground (just a few tent campers on a June weeknight) and a truly memorable view. It was a good camping experience for our family of four including two kids under 10. Would repeat.

@LindaW6181394 · Camped on Jun 19, 2022 at Campsite #8

For the first time, we rented a pontoon boat for 1/2 a day. Very fun.

@MikeHazl585009 · Camped on Jun 5, 2022 at Campsite #2

Great camping spot overlooking Gorge. Paddle boarding outing on lake was a lot of fun.

@AmyH6621534 · Camped on Aug 22, 2021 at Campsite #2

We had a great stay at Red Canyon. We stayed one night but wished had time to stay longer. Views were gorgeous even with the smoke haze. We saw sheep crossing the road on the way in. Campground was very quiet as it was nearly empty. Had a fun day rafting on the river the next day.

Great location, great site.

@TeresaB343 · Camped on Jul 20, 2021 at Campsite #7

This is a beautiful campsite! Room between each site, not crowded and great views! Our site was steps away from the canyon and trail to walk the rim. Would highly recommend this campsite! We will definitely be returning here!

Had site #5, very private on a Sunday evening. Lots of wildlife passed through. While the pit privy was clean it really needs to be replaced. Vetilation system does not work.

We had a reservation but some guys took our site as there was no sign saying the site was reserved. The information board at the entrance to the campground had no emergency contact information and there was no on site campground host. A visitor center volunteer helped us reach the campground host named Jordan. Jordan was helpful in resolving the matter. There was a large wedding in one of the campgrounds that day and it appears that Jordan had more work than one person could handle. We were not the only ones having this issue. This all took place after hours. The bathroom was clean. The campground was nice and quite but seemed expensive for the amenities{vault toilet and water}. Great walking trail right from the campground.

@JakeH127 · Camped on Jun 11, 2021 at Campsite #8

Reserving a site at this location is not a guarantee that you will get one. People show up and disregard reserved signs- and there’s nothing you can do. My advice is get there early afternoon to get a site or just camp out on BLM land.

@SullyT310 · Camped on Jun 9, 2021 at Campsite #2

Stunning views into the canyon, sites were as-expected.

@ChrisS544 · Camped on Aug 15, 2020 at Campsite #2

We stayed for a night at campsite #2. The location on the campground is almost unbeatable - beautiful scenery and right next to a breathtaking overlook of the Gorge. Campgrounds seemed well spread out, and there was running water available. tables and fire pits were nice to have and in good condition. We spent part of the day paddleboarding at a small lake right up the road as well. Only downside was that the main canyon overlook trail went right by our campsite, so during the day there are a good amount of people walking by. But worth it imo for the location and price, no issues at night.

@DanielB977 · Camped on Jul 11, 2020 at Campsite #2

My favorite place to camp. Truly peaceful, with astounding views.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
