Why Camp Here

Most Flaming Gorge camps sit back in the pines. This one puts you out on the ridge itself, and the outer loop sites are the ones with the long views. It is a fully developed camp, so you get paved spurs, potable water, vault toilets through the loops, and a flush restroom with showers up by the entrance. The campground host sells firewood, so you can show up without a trunk full of it.

Tip: Closest camp to Cedar Springs marina and the kokanee grounds.

Quick Answers

Do I need a reservation at Mustang Ridge Campground?
Reservable via recreation.gov.
What elevation is Mustang Ridge Campground?
6200 feet. Season: May-Sept.
Why camp at Mustang Ridge Campground?
Because it trades forest cover for a position up on the ridge, with a boat ramp next door and the Sunny Cove day use area about half a mile off for swimming and paddling. That mix makes it an easy first night for families who have never camped the Gorge before.
