Lucerne Campground

No thanks to reservation.gov, we camped here in late Sept. Online information was incorrect or confusing about all teh Flaming Gorge Campgrounds. A call to the Ashley ranger station finally got us some intel. Lucerne (Loop A only) was open, but all utilities were shut off. But it was our best option. Arrived to find 30 amp working, restrooms closed, water working, and herds of antelope all around! Amazing big sky and beautiful moon rise. Lots of construction going on nearby, so not esp scenic, but a quiet level spot, a 30 amp surprise and 3 bars Verizon way out here!

Located on a flat, open area with walls of the gorge all around. Able to walk down to water. Saw many SUPs going out that way. Great hot showers with good pressure. Pronghorn Antelope and Mule Deer in the campground. Level, paved sites with picnic table and wind shelter. Roads in park are easy to navigate. Perfect base for exploring the Gorge. Rented a pontoon for a day from Cedar Springs Marina. Lots of boating activity on the river and reservoir.

Checkin was super smooth, dump station with potable water right as you enter the campground.
Site was leveled, closed to the bathroom and with some views.
Grass was well kept so was the sites.
Outside sites have walks to the reservoir.
If you drive 5 mins out, you get to the swim beach. The water was super low so we were able to drive the car to the beach. Absolutely loved it.
We liked Lucerne so much that we are planning to go back next year! We camped at Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, Lucerne Campground in a Travel Trailer.

Great location near the water, very clean campground and spacious sites. Lots of marmots, chipmunks, antelope and swarms of some sort of flying bugs. Already paying $35/night, I dislike how they charge campers $7 to dump and although the showers don’t require quarters, they ask $5 per person per shower for non campers. I’m a full time RVer, have been all over the country, and have never seen these charges anywhere. I understand charging people who aren’t staying at the campground but to charge those who are staying… Very stingy! I found a free dump station along the way we are traveling so we will just use that instead.

We had site B011 at Lucerne. This beautiful site with water views had electric, there is potable water at the dump station as you enter the park, bathrooms are available and a there's nice pavilion for use.

We have a Starlink so had great internet service!

We saw Pronghorn antelope on the property and Ospreys flying overhead, pretty cool!

Stop by the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area Manila Office for hiking trail recommendations. The staff there is very friendly and knowledgeable!

We camped at Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, Lucerne Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

Lovely campground, great for big rigs with wide flat spots and few trees. Clean bathrooms and showers, moderate cell service, and friendly management. Great views, lake access, wildlife all around. Mid-week mostly empty and quiet, weekends are busy and unfortunately management does not enforce quiet hours. Most people are respectful, but there have been a few loud parties that went late. Would stay again but would try to come mid-week only.

We stayed at the Lucerne Campground in Flaming Gorge Recreation Area in September 2021. Stunning views all around. Site A9 was power only, paved and level, and had a really nice concrete picnic table, fire ring and BBQ stand. It looked like sites A11, A12 and B10 had the most privacy with the best waterfront views. The campground was super quiet overnights and had beautiful sunset views.

Nice Campground but more expensive than expected. USDA – FS website 2021 prices are: $28 for electric, $20 for non-electric. Since this is a USDA Campground Senior Pass discount should’ve been 50% of those cost. Instead, the concessionaire charges $31 for electric, $20 for electric non-electric and only the Senior Pass discount applies to non-electric campsites. Senior Pass holders pay $20. Website states dump fees are $6, concessionaire charges $7 dollars.

The roads are paved there is sprinklered grass so dust is minimal, Sites are relatively level, include a covered picnic table, and fire pit. Bathrooms and showers are immaculate, and there are dumpsters.
