Weeping Rock Campground

Weeping Rock Campground is a popular spot for fishers, campers and picnickers and offers fishing and boat access to the Green River. It has 10 campsites with picnic tables, barbecue grills, and a vault toilet. Trout and kokanee salmon live in this area of the Green River, and since the area is restricted to motorboats, the fishing is always good. This site is located near historic resources. Please do not collect or damage resources.
