Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this site. On most of their ground you can camp away from developed sites pretty much anywhere — so treat this as a known-good spot, not the only one allowed. The unit sets stay limits and how far off road and water you must be. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

The unit that manages Murdock Basin/Broadhead Meadows
Stay limits, road closures and fire restrictions at Murdock Basin/Broadhead Meadows 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 Trial Lake at 9,970 ft, about 4 miles away. It sits about 1,164 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.

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 2026-08-21: no rate published by the agency. The Forest Service recreation-site record for this site carries a fee flag with an empty fee description; the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache NF has no web page for it (no /recreation/ slug resolves) and the Heber-Kamas Ranger District page prints only firewood and transplant permit prices, no camping fee; recreation.gov has no listing within the search radius. Checked https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/uinta-wasatch-cache/recreation/heber-kamas-ranger-district and https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_RecInfraRecreationSites_02/MapServer/0/query?where=objectid%3D2543839&outFields=site_name,fee_description&f=json .
