Stayed here in a tent one night on way to Moab from Nevada. Nice large site, soft tent area, clean bathroom. It was easy to stop in Beaver for some groceries before driving to the campground.

The camp host was absent, pretty much useless as we arrived to find somebody in our space. No one around to help.

Other than tht, we enjoyed the grounds.

Always a great stop when I can make it. The creek is wonderful, and the sites themselves are always in great shape. Just remember there are no showers at this facility.

The campground was great. Secluded with a great place for trailer and tent. Easy to get to and not far from hiking, mountain biking and kayaking.

Really nice camp host. Really tight for larger rigs. We have a 39 ft Brinkley, but was super tight turning around in the cul-de-sac due to the trees and large rocks. Sites were clean and roomy with a really cute stream flowing though the camp. Not much in the way for solar since direct sun is limited since you between two ridges. Town of Beaver has some nice little eating places. Would absolutely stay again.

Beautiful canyon, great setting with the river. The host was very nice. The only issue is one of the restroom stalls in the women's was out of order, but it was never an issue.

Very quiet location. Other than the parking area, the only other flat spot is the gravel pad that fit 3 2-person tents just fine. The host was great and we were able to purchase firewood on site with no problems. There was one area to hang a hammock.
