There are several camping options at Flaming Gorge and each offers a unique experience that will satisfy a wide range of visitors. Heading north into Wyoming on the west side is where plenty of peaceful solitude can be found. Camping along the rim of Red Canyon in the center of the park is the most popular place to be and this is where cabin lodging can be found. The east side of this park is where the boaters tend to go, so Dutch John and Mustang Ridge are the picks for convenient campsites with boat launch nearby. Right next door is where Jug Hollow can be found, which is a vast dispersed camping area that appeals to budget minded people that plan a lengthy stay.

The dirt road going to Jug Hollow is fairly smooth, but there are no guarantees the closer one gets to the water, since the ground can be soft in this area. There are dozens of small nooks and coves to choose from, so this definitely is a cozy spot for setting up a basecamp. Small personal watercraft can be launched from the beaches and this is a prime area for paddle-boarders. There are very few shade trees to be found and there is plenty of open spaces for fun in the sun. The shoreline fishing is world class at Jug Hollow and there is nothing better than fresh fried panfish when the budget is tight. Jug Hollow certainly is a great place to camp for free!

    *The Destination West website upgrading project is well underway. Unique YouTube slideshows are replacing the outdated Flickr photo galleries. The new videos feature modern graphics and alternative music instrumentals that enhance the viewing experience. Some articles are being condensed, while others are getting much needed edits. As everybody knows, the bulk of the original articles and photos were published on the fly during the Covid camping venture and there were limitations. Upgrading is the way to go and more articles will receive a makeover each week until this project is completed. After that, I will be able to gather new material. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
