Jarvies Canyon Boat-In Campground

Jarvies Boat-In Campground is nestled along the picturesque Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Jarvies Canyon. Accessible only by boat, the nearest ramps are at Cedar Springs Marina and Mustang Ridge, both just a 20-minute journey across the water.

The campground is set among dense stands of juniper and pinyon pine on a hillside that offers stunning views of the reservoir. The vegetation provides good privacy between campsites, although shade is limited. Most sites feature partial views of the reservoir and its surrounding red cliffs.

Please note that water and garbage services are not available at the campground, so visitors should plan accordingly.Pack it In, Pack it Out!

Showers are located at Deer Run and Mustang Ridge for campers with proof of camping registration. No hookups are available. 

Firewood available at Cedar Springs or Deer Run.

Boating, water skiing, fishing and swimming are popular activities, all located steps from the campsites. A private dock is down a short hill on the shoreline. The path from the boat dock to the campground does not support accessibility standards; some visitors may require assistance. 

A hiking trail passes through the site as well.
