Camping at Canyon Rim near Dutch John

Public campground · Dutch John · 15 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation is centered on water and trail access nearby: Greens Lake, a short drive from the campground, is a popular spot for canoeing and fishing for rainbow and brook trout, and Red Canyon Lodge on the lake shore rents canoes and bikes and offers horseback rides, a restaurant and a gift shop. The Red Canyon Rim Trail begins at the visitor center near the campground and provides hiking and biking routes plus interpretive displays and area information; the broader Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area adds boating, jet-skiing, swimming, scuba diving and world-class trout fishing on the reservoir, as well as guided tours of Flaming Gorge Dam and whitewater rafting on the Green River below the dam.

“Canyon Rim campground is A1 in our view. Spacious sites and spectacular views. Highly recommended.”

“Incredibly you wake-up, climb out of your tent, and the most incredible vista is yours.”

Raymond P 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Very nice campground, clean and tidy. It wasn’t very crowded at all, just a few other retirees :) Nice to have a view of the canyon right there, too!”

How far ahead to book Canyon Rim

For August weekends, book about 133 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 48 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May39 days ahead84 days ahead37 days ahead90 days ahead

August48 days ahead133 days ahead58 days ahead142 days ahead
September53 days ahead107 days ahead74 days ahead148 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,716 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
