Ask an AI about this campsiteOpens Grok already loaded with this site. It reads the same records this page is built from, and links whatever it tells you.
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.

The unit that manages Jordan Pines
Stay limits, road closures and fire restrictions at Jordan Pines are set by Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, not by the campsite — check there before you go.
Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Mill-D North at 8,940 ft, about a mile away. It sits about 1,612 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.

Confidence
Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
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 a GROUP-ONLY campground, so there is no single-camper rate to quote -- recreation.gov's own facility text says "Jordan Pines Campground only accommodates groups", and the Forest Service records its site type as GROUP CAMPGROUND. For the current 2026-06-05 to 2026-09-19 peak season it is $308.32 per night for the group standard non-electric site and $303.91 per night for the group tent-only area. Caveat: the $156.80 recreation.gov advertises as this campground's starting price is the group PICNIC area -- a day-use site -- not an overnight campsite, so budgeting from the headline would understate an overnight stay by about half. Sources: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232063 (rate schedule, current season) and https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/uinta-wasatch-cache/recreation/jordan-pines-group-campground (last updated June 5, 2026).

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 Jordan Pines
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.
- Road surface & last-mile access
- How many rigs actually fit
- Cell coverage by carrier
- Seasonal & winter access
- 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
