    Water levels are very low.  There are not any campsites that are close to the water.

    Clear Fork campground is open. It will be closed to reservations on August 1st in anticipation of a full closure planned for upgrades/improvements that will last the rest of the season.  

    Iron Creek campground is open.  There will be one camper services building open with running water.  The dump station is open.

    Campers that have a Senior Citizen Aspen Leaf Annual pass affixed to their windshield receive a $3 discount off the normal camping fees on Sunday-Thursday nights only-not including holidays.  Reservations can be made at least 3 days in advance of your stay and can be made 6 months in advance.  Reservations are not mandatory, but highly suggested during the busy summer season.  You can reserve for dates of stay starting with May 1st and ending Labor Day weekend.  Camping is limited to 14 days in a 45 day period.​  After Labor Day weekend, no reservations are needed and all sites are available on a first come first served basis.

  • Cell Phone Coverage

    Sprint cell service is usually good at the park.   Sometimes there is enough Verizon signal to text, but not usually enough for a phone call. Other carriers do not work. We DO NOT have public wi-fi, but you can get it in town near the library.
