Buckboard Campground

Buckboard Campground is a 12-site forest campground at 8,900 feet elevation in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, offering vault toilets, seasonal water, and graveled roads suitable for RVs up to 43 feet.

Located six miles west of Monticello on paved Forest Road 105, it serves as a base for fishing, hiking, and off-road vehicle activities, with nearby trailheads including Robertson's Pasture Trail and Spring Creek Trail, plus access to the scenic Abajo Loop State Scenic Backway.

Reservations are available up to 6 months in advance ($20-$50 per night), and the campground typically operates mid-May through September.
