We camped 4 days, 3 nights in our 45 ft motorhome. The site (62) was plenty big for our motorhome and maybe even another. Only issue was the daytime temperatures got to 93. Since we are total electric, we had to run the generator a few times a day to keep the necessities running. Besides that, we loved it there.
We have e-bikes and road RD 1005 which was so beautiful. I wish we had more time to do it again as the canyon views are spectacular.

Drove 500 mi, looking forward to our reserved and paid for site...pulled in. Somebody else there and snoozing away. He had a tag on the post indicating he had paid for it. Whoever runs the place didn't bother reserving it for us. We had to grab a remaining spot closer to the freeway and got no sleep. Thanks for nothing.

Right off the highway. Lots of room to pull in with an tv or trailer

Great place for my one-night camp as I was heading across the desert. There was a little highway noise, but not too bad. My spot was close to the river, so it was minimal.

One of the most beautiful spots in a beautiful canyon.

Made the reservation...drove 500 mi and got there late at night expecting to pull into our reserved and paid for site. Someone already in our site and set up. They had a slip on the post saying they had paid. No camp host or anybody around. Had to go take a relatively undesireable site closer to the freeway where the noise kept me up all night. Nobody put a RESERVED slip on the post to hold it for the people who had paid for it.

Nothing particularly wrong with the camp ground, it’s clean and has decent facility’s but it barren. There is nothing special to it and most of the sites don’t have shade which is a major negative because with all the asphalt it’s makes the sites super hot.

Decided not to stay here as it was right next to the very busy highway. The weather was bad which also contributed to our decision. It seems like the sites were open and there were restroom facilities.

Decided to break my journey here on my way to Moab in August, and there was hardly anyone around. Got to the campground around sunset time and didn’t have to worry about someone taking over my spot. Beautiful camp site (34), and it is also tent friendly as there is enough space to set up tents even though it doesn’t have a tent pad.
