Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area
Thinking of camping at Flaming Gorge next year around the end of August. The scenery looks spectacular on the web, but am having trouble finding a camp ground that is attractive. Can anyone recommend ...

We went there last year. We actually boondocked right by the lake. We could walk right out our door and catch a trout. What a wonderful place. Make sure you take a tour of the dam.
If you decide to camp by the lake, then you have to get a permit before setting up camp. We went North out of Manila (where you can buy your pass), and headed up the West side of the reservoir to Anvil Draw Road. From there, head towards the water and try any of the little side roads to find a camp. If you don't have 4x4, don't stray too far off the main dirt road.
If you don't want to boondock, I've heard the KOA in Manila is not too bad. You're just 10-15 minutes from the water.
