Dinosaur National Monument
Gates of Lodore Campground

Gates of Lodore Campground is located 106 miles north of the Canyon Area Visitor Center. It is located on the Green River at the boat ramp at the head of Lodore Canyon.

There are 17 sites, some with shade. The sites have tables and firepits. There is running water and vault toilets, but no showers. The campground handles tents and RVs (but there are no hook-ups). Camping fee is $8 per site, per night. The water is turned off from mid-September to mid-April, and there is no camping fee at that time.

Gates of Lodore Campground is open year-round, but winter access can be difficult due to snow.

Did You Know?
A population of peregrine falcons has been established at Dinosaur National Monument. The park's rugged canyons make ideal habitat for the once endangered raptor. Fossils show that dinosaurs evolved into birds--and so still live in modified form at Dinosaur.
