Notifications and Alerts
Hello Campers
We are currently not able to provide drinking water or flushing restrooms at Yellowpine Campground. We will have portable restrooms in place while we work on the water system. Potable water is available at the nearby Upper Stillwater Campground, located approximately 5 miles up the road. However, we do not have the capabilities there to fill RV/Trailer tanks like you may be used to at Yellowpine. The sanitary dump station will be open for dumping only. We are sorry for the inconvenience and are working as hard as we can to restore water to the campground. During this time, any cancellations/refunds will be honored. If you have any questions, please contact the Duchesne Ranger District Office at (435)738-2482.
