Campground Overview

Introduction

The Split Mountain Group Campground is located along the banks of the Green River at an elevation of 4800 feet (1463 m) near the foot of Split Mountain. The campground is 5 miles (8 km) from the dinosaur quarry, where you can see 150 million year old dinosaur bones encased in the rock. Beside the campground is the Split Mountain Boat Ramp where rafters and boaters come off the Green River. During the off season, when the Green River Campground is closed, the Split Mountain Campground is open to all campers.

Weather

Dinosaur's climate is semiarid with temperatures averaging between 0°F to 30°F (-18°C to -1°C) in January and 50°F to 100°F (10°C to 38°C) in July. Elevations within the park vary between 4,700 and 9,000 feet (1,433 and 2,743 m). Winter snow makes roads at higher elevations impassable while only light to moderate snow is found at lower elevations. Summer thunderstorms often cause heavy downpours and localized flooding, but may fail to dampen parched soils less than a mile away.
