Lots of first come sites. Great place to stay before headed onto the green. Plenty of bathrooms and running water. Mix of camper and tent sites

Firefighters Memorial Campground is one of my favorite places to camp at the Green River. It's actually the first place I ever camped at the Green River. Now there are a ton of first come, first serve spots you can also reserve. Everything is very clean, very nice, and kept. There's a pretty cool overlook of the valley, the bridge, and just the whole area. Super cool! But highly recommend it gives you access to one of the coolest places in the world being the Green River and Dutch John. Definitely recommend.

We love this campground! We have stayed many times. The bathrooms are always super clean and the scenery is beautiful. We also love that it's close to the lodge in case we need anything. On our most recent trip, the camp manager was amazing when we had to leave to go to the ER. He watched our camp and didn't rush us out the next morning when we got back.

Great location. Camp manager made regular visits, welcomed us. Flush toilets and water available. Well spaced out camp sites. Only concern is how short the back in sites were. Of the website days 30 feet, it won't be 31 feet or more!

Great overnight location. It was 100+ degrees but the shade definitely helped when we were outside and helped cool down the camper inside. No hookups (no power, no water, no sewer) but there's a dump station and potable water at the entrance. We didn't have a reservation but there were several spots open for the first come, first served section in our loop. Paid $26 with a check in the box near the entrance next to the camp host. It's nice that the roads are asphalt. We rode our bikes through the campground and across the street to the Bear Canyon Lookout trail down to the overlook over Flaming Gorge at sunset.
