Hideout Boat-In Campground is located on beautiful Flaming Gorge Reservoir, 2 miles from the nearest road. The campground is surrounded by scenic cliffs. The campground is forested with pinyon pine and juniper, which offer only limited shade. This popular campground gets its name from a hiding spot used by Butch Cassidy and his gang. Most sites afford partial views of the reservoir. Boating, water skiing, canoeing, fishing and swimming are popular activities right out your front door.
The campground is only accessible to visitors who boat or hike-in to the location. Most patrons boat to the campground, using the Sheep Creek Bay Boat Ramp. Hikers should use the Hideout/Carter Creek Trailhead on Dowd Mountain off Forest Road 094.
The gravel trails from the docks to the campsites are steep and do not support accessibility standards. Some visitors may require assistance. Paths change each year depending on water fluctuations. Lucerne Valley Marina is a few miles away by boat, where gas, boat slips, fishing licenses, bait and groceries are available at the small general store.
Firewood is available for purchase. Don't Move Firewood: Help prevent the spread of tree-killing pests in our national forests by obtaining firewood near your destination and burning it on-site.
