Our Take
What makes Bridge Hollow Campground special
Bridge Hollow Campground sits in a quiet pocket of northeastern Utah near Vernal, offering 11 first-come, first-served sites for travelers who value simplicity and solitude. The campground occupies a sheltered hollow where cottonwoods and junipers provide dappled shade against the high desert sun, and the surrounding landscape shifts between sculpted sandstone and the sage-covered benchlands of the Uinta Basin. This is prime territory for geology enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Dinosaur National Monument, one of the region's crown jewels, preserves a stunning wall of Jurassic-era fossils alongside deep river canyons carved by the Green and Yampa Rivers. The area also offers excellent opportunities for scenic drives, particularly along the Tour of the Tilted Rocks route, where millions of years of geological history are laid bare in dramatic fashion. Bridge Hollow operates on a first-come, first-served basis, which keeps things refreshingly simple. The campground sees moderate use, so finding a site is usually straightforward except during holiday weekends. Late spring and early fall are the sweet spots for visiting, when daytime temperatures are pleasant and the evening air carries a welcome coolness. Summer visitors should prepare for warm days and pack accordingly. Basic amenities are provided, but this is a place where the real draw is the landscape itself and the freedom to explore it at your own pace.
