About this campground

Historical Significancenull
Weather and SeasonsExperience the full drama of mountain weather at Riverview, where crisp mornings give way to sun-drenched afternoons. Temperatures dance between invigorating 27°F dawns and comfortable 77°F peaks, creating perfect conditions for both cozy campfire gatherings and active outdoor adventures. While occasional snow flurries and summer rain showers add character to your stay, the dry mountain air and moderate humidity make for exceptional camping from late spring through early fall's golden days.
ElevationAt 7,900 feet above sea level, Riverview Campground places you in the heart of the high country, where the air is crisp, the stars shine brilliantly, and every breath connects you to the raw beauty of the alpine environment.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a cathedral of towering lodgepole pines, their slender trunks creating natural corridors through a lush carpet of mountain grasses. The star attraction flows just steps away—the legendary Yellowstone River, where crystal-clear waters harbor prized rainbow, cutthroat, brown, and brook trout. Each campsite offers its own window into this pristine ecosystem, where morning mist rises from the river and evening light filters through the forest canopy.
Geological RegionNestled within the majestic High Uintas Wilderness, Riverview Campground serves as your gateway to one of North America's most pristine mountain ranges. Here, ancient geological forces have carved a landscape of dramatic peaks and valleys, with the Yellowstone River as its life-giving centerpiece.
