Camping in Vernal Utah
Sleep Under the Stars... Just Like the Dinosaurs Did!There is something magical about camping in a place where history is written in the stone beneath your feet. In Vernal, you aren’t just pitching a tent; you’re claiming a spot in a landscape that has remained largely unchanged since the Jurassic period. Whether you want to wake up to the sound of the Green River or watch the sunrise hit the red rock cliffs of the High Desert, we have a campsite with your name on it.
Choose Your Territory
The River Den (Dinosaur National Monument): Camp where the giants once drank. Perfectly situated for rafters and fossil hunters at the Green River or Split Mountain campgrounds.
The Oasis (State Park Camping): Follow the water to Steinaker or Red Fleet State Parks. Perfect for "aquatic" explorers who want to camp near the docks and hike to real dinosaur tracks.
The High Forest (Uinta Mountains): Escape the desert heat in the Ashley National Forest. Sleep among the pines and alpine lakes where the air is cool and the stars are even brighter.
