About this campground

Greens Lake Campground is located next to its scenic namesake along Red Canyon Road at an elevation of 7,400 feet. Visitors enjoy canoeing and fishing on the lake and exploring the Red Canyon Rim Trail.

The campground offers one group site that can accommodate up to 40 people. Several single family sites are available as well, each with a picnic table and campfire ring. Some sites have lake views and access. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided.

The campground lies on the shore of Greens Lake, about 1 mile from beautiful cliffs overlooking Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Lodgepole and ponderosa pines and aspens dot the campground, providing partial shade. Summer wildflowers are plentiful.

Greens Lake is a small lake for non-motorized watercraft only. It offers great canoeing and fishing for rainbow and brook trout. Red Canyon Lodge sits directly across the lake. Canoe and bike rentals, horseback riding, a restaurant and gift shop are available. Red Canyon Rim Trail, for hiking and biking, begins at the nearby visitor center, which offers interpretive displays and area information.

What campers say

Greens Lake Campground is a small, scenic site with campsites tucked among pines and easy access to Greens Lake for paddling and fishing (the lake is non-motorized and fishing typically requires a small permit from the adjacent Red Canyon Lodge). Amenities include water spigots, vault restrooms and dumpsters, and a nearby lodge/store and restaurant within walking distance. Cell signal is generally good for major carriers. Many visitors praise the quiet, well-kept sites, but note tradeoffs: the loop road has significant potholes and maintenance issues, shade varies by site, and host/maintenance presence and supplies have been inconsistent.
