Deadhorse Trailhead Campground

Nestled on the northern slope of the scenic Uinta Mountains at an elevation of 8,959 feet, Deadhorse Trailhead Campground serves as a high-altitude basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts. The site is uniquely positioned adjacent to the extensive Deadhorse OHV trail system, making it a prime destination for those looking to explore the rugged Rocky Mountain terrain by ATV, mountain bike, or horseback. With its year-round accessibility, the campground provides a tranquil escape regardless of the season.

This intimate federal campground features four single campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring for traditional outdoor cooking. While the site offers essential water hookups, it remains a primitive experience with no additional utility hookups, perfect for those seeking a true connection with nature. The landscape is defined by its mountain setting, providing immediate access to miles of winding trails that crisscross the high-elevation wilderness.

Deadhorse Trailhead Campground is best suited for tent campers and self-contained RV travelers who prioritize adventure and solitude over modern amenities. Whether you are seeking a weekend of motorized trail riding or a quiet spot to launch a hiking expedition, this USFS facility offers a simple, affordable, and authentic mountain experience for seasoned campers.
