Our Take
What makes DUTCH JOHN DRAW CAMPGROUND special
Dutch John Draw Campground occupies a quiet cove along the western shore of Flaming Gorge Reservoir near Manila, Utah, at an elevation of roughly 6,000 feet. The campground offers front-row access to one of the most visually dramatic reservoirs in the American West, where deep blue water meets towering red and gold canyon walls carved by the Green River over millennia. Water recreation is the main draw here. The reservoir is a premier destination for boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, and fishing, with lake trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and kokanee salmon all on the menu. A nearby boat ramp makes launching convenient, and the cove setting provides a measure of protection from the winds that can sweep across the open reservoir. On shore, hiking trails explore the surrounding Ashley National Forest, and the Flaming Gorge Dam and visitor center make for an informative side trip. Campsites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, and vault toilets are provided. The season typically runs from late May through September, with July and August being the busiest months. Reservations are recommended for summer weekends. The town of Manila offers basic supplies and fuel, though stocking up before you arrive is always a good idea. For campers who want to wake up steps from the water and spend their days on a stunning high-desert lake, Dutch John Draw is hard to beat.
