About this campground
Nestled in the heart of Ashley National Forest, Uinta River Group Campground serves as the perfect basecamp for large gatherings of up to 150 adventurers. Here, beneath towering ponderosa pines that whisper ancient forest secrets, your group will find a rustic retreat where gravel roads wind through nature's playground and the melodic Uinta River provides a constant soundtrack to your outdoor celebrations.
The Uinta River Group Campground is specifically designed for group camping and supports tent and primitive camping setups.
Weather and Seasonsnull
Natural Features and SceneryTowering ponderosa pines create a natural cathedral overhead, their vanilla-scented bark and emerald canopy providing welcome shade and serenity. The nearby Uinta River dances through the landscape, offering both a peaceful ambiance and picturesque backdrops for memorable group photos. This pristine forest setting transforms throughout the day as sunlight filters through the pine boughs, creating an ever-changing tapestry of light and shadow.
Geological RegionPositioned within the magnificent Ashley National Forest, the campground sits at the doorstep of the legendary High Uintas Wilderness—Utah's crown jewel of alpine beauty. The Uinta River, born from ancient glacial activity in the surrounding peaks, carves its way through this rugged landscape, creating a geological wonderland where primitive forests meet pristine waterways in one of the American West's most spectacular mountain ecosystems.
