A low-cost tow-rope tubing hill at a Vernal recreation complex, with a $25 family rate that covers four people.

$10 per person; Family Day Rate $25 for family of 4 (includes 1 adult), additional family members $5 each
Rough cost for a family of four: about $40.00 at the posted starting rate, before rentals, food, or parking. Many parks sell tubing by the hour or by a fixed session rather than a full-day pass — check the note above for exactly what that price buys.
Buckskin Hills is a year-round recreation complex north of Vernal, and tubing is one of many things it hosts alongside skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, motocross, ATV trails and a shooting range. For tubing you get groomed lanes served by a tow rope, in a setting that is more local rec area than resort.
The draw is price. Tubing is listed at $10 per person, and the Family Day Rate is $25 for a family of 4 that includes 1 adult, with extra family members at $5 each. For a family of four the flat rate is cheaper than paying per person; prices change, so confirm before you go. The record lists no reservation requirement.
What the record does not give you is a schedule. Days, hours, season dates, lane count, and minimum age or height are all blank, and the source note only calls the tubing seasonal. Check the complex’s ski and tubing page before making the drive, especially since the closest other tubing parks are more than 100 miles away.
Those alternatives are Soldier Hollow at about 109 miles straight-line and Woodward Park City at about 110 miles. Both are reservation-based, so Buckskin Hills is the pick if you want a cheaper, no-booking hill in Uintah County.
Not enough is listed to name a best day: the record has no days or hours, so check the complex site for the current schedule first.
Plan for a flexible visit; the record lists no session length, and there is no reservation requirement.
You need fixed published hours, a lane count or a night session: the record lists none of these, and it shows no night tubing.
