Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this as a developed campground. Expect marked sites, a fee station or a reservation, and the usual campground rules. The dispersed-camping freedom of the surrounding forest does not apply inside it. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

From the Forest Service's own Motor Vehicle Use Map roads layer (EDW, Clearinghouse refresh Aug 30, 2026), straight-line from the pin to the nearest mapped segment. The nearest segment is not necessarily the way in, a maintenance level is the agency's class and not a report on today, and a road's season is the road's — it is not a campground order.

Coming out here — Greendale Group · Ashley National Forest · UT
- Surface water mapped nearby: USGS maps Cart Creek as a perennial stream, ~0.2 mi from the pin (National Hydrography Dataset, data refreshed October 2022). Mapped as perennial is not the same as flowing today. Nobody has checked it for you. Filter or boil anything you drink.
- Ground slope around the pin: about 9.1% — noticeable. Measured on USGS's 3DEP elevation model (1 m data here), sampled every 10 metres around the point. That is the hillside, not the ground under your wheels — a graded pullout or a bench a few metres across is too small to show up at that spacing, and nobody has checked this one for you.
- No rail line and no interstate or US route is mapped within 10 mi of the pin. Checked against the FRA/BTS North American Rail Network (data updated Jul 21, 2026) and the Census's TIGER/Line primary roads (TIGER/Line 2025, released Oct 2025). Both are national files and both are maps of what is built, not counts of what moves on it.
- Power: Dave carries his own — batteries or solar. A generator will run your rig and it is also the thing everybody camped near you can hear.
- Getting online: Dave recommends Starlink. He has had it since SpaceX introduced it, used it for four years living on the road, and it delivers as promised — several hundred nights out, and he can count on one hand the places he could not connect. The cable on his unit runs 150 feet, which is usually all it takes to find enough sky. Starlink → Referral link — Starlink pays Dave $100 in cash if you sign up through it, and that money funds this site and the next trip. It costs you nothing and does not change the recommendation.

The unit that manages Greendale Group
Stay limits, road closures and fire restrictions at Greendale Group are set by Ashley National Forest, not by the campsite — check there before you go.
Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Kings Cabin at 8,740 ft, about 12 miles away. It sits about 1,725 ft higher than this camp, so treat it as a guide rather than a reading for this spot. We do not repeat a depth here, because any number we stored would be stale by the time you read it — the station publishes today's.

How it was placed
Developed FEE campground (not free) - review | auto:usfs-fee 2026-08-20: US Forest Service developed campground, agency coordinates, agency states a fee. No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-22: this is the GROUP site at Greendale, so there is no separate single-camper rate for it: $173 per night for up to 40 people, for the current 2026-05-15 to 2026-09-17 peak season. recreation.gov describes the layout as "eight single sites on the west side of the road; on the east side are two group sites for up to 40 people each", and prices those single sites at $33. recreation.gov also states the campground is "located in the beautiful Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area" -- This camp is inside the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, which charges its own Recreational Use Pass on top of the campsite fee -- $5 day / $15 week / $35 annual, and the forest states these are NOT sold online, only at its offices and local vendors (https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/ashley/recreation/flaming-gorge-national-recreation-area-0, last updated March 27, 2025). Sources: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233821 (rate schedule, current season) , https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/ashley/recreation/greendale-campground (the campground page, printed coordinates 0.36 mi from our pin, publishes no amount and points to recreation.gov; last updated March 31, 2025) and the Forest Service's own recreation-site record, https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_RecInfraRecreationSites_02/MapServer/0/query?where=objectid%3D2546457&outFields=site_name,fee_description&f=json , which states "Group Site: $173 per night (up to 40 people)".

Field check
On the agency's books. The land manager inventoried this site, so its existence is not in question — current conditions are. Nobody from here has camped it recently.
What we don’t know about Greendale Group
A land record can put you within a few meters of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
- Whether that MVUM road is the way in, and the last stretch beyond it
- Whether the site itself closes on its own schedule — only the road's season is on record
- How many rigs actually fit
- Cell coverage by carrier
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
- Whether a listed EV charger works today, or the road miles to it
