Ashley National Forest Red Canyon Dispersed Sites

Dispersed Camping

Tucked into side canyons off the Red Canyon Road, these dispersed sites offer red rock scenery and cooler temperatures under scattered ponderosa pines. Most sites handle rigs up to 30 feet, though a few spots work for bigger setups. The area sees moderate use from Flaming Gorge anglers and deer hunters, with quieter shoulders in late spring and early fall. Fire restrictions common during dry spells.

Access via Red Canyon Road (Forest Road 095) from Highway 191 near Dutch John. The main road is maintained gravel suitable for any vehicle, but some spur roads require high clearance. Area typically snow-free May through October. No water or services available.
