If you're coming to Colton Guard Station Lookout/Cabin in the summer time, expect some cushy amenities like a fridge and running shower.

Winter time? Not so much. Put your survival skills to the test during the snowy season while you grill that grub outside like the badass that you are. Numerous hiking trails, skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling make this place worth the trek. Do you actually know what mushing or skijoring is? Cool, 'cause you can do that, too.

Sandy beaches on the Green River

3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents700 acres ¡ Jensen, UT
This Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent (or rent one of ours) on the beautiful sandy beaches of the Green River. You will be surrounded by the unique landscape of North Eastern Utah. The river is constantly changing so the exact location of the campsite is adjusted accordingly to provide the best experience for our guests. You will have a private campsite with BBQ pit or fire ring, fire starter kit, and wood. There is access to a common area for latrine, dressing area, gravity fed solar shower, and ​eco-friendly toiletries. The river is full of fun and relaxation. There are life vests, kid and adult kayaks, sand toys, and more available for rent. The campsite is on the fringe of a large hay farm so you may spot farming in action. Expect a 15-20 minute drive to downtown with many food, entertainment, and amenities offered. There is a diversity of wildlife to be seen on site. It is a bird watchers paradise, don't be surprised if you spot a bald eagle, Canadian geese, peregrine falcon, cranes, meadow lark, red-wing black bird, and more! Depending on the time of year you may see deer, antelope, racoon, beaver, or the occasional skunk or coyote.
