What Guests Are Saying

The Green River Float-in Campsites offer a wonderful experience with great wildlife viewing, including sightings of moose, otters, and osprey. Campsites are generally well-maintained, with clean facilities and good amenities like flat tent platforms and fire pits. While some areas may have issues with vegetation or crowding due to guide permits, the overall beauty and tranquility of the river make it a highly recommended destination for camping and floating.

Love the Green River float in sites. Cottonwood is awesome because there is a vault toilet.

Campsite was exactly what we needed for our larger group. We were able to secure campsites next to each other to accommodate 12 people rafting the green river.

There's no sign at the landing and it's easy to miss. Not that big of a deal, but someone else said the same thing in their review a couple years and it feels like there's enough traffic in these campsites that it should have been replaced by now.

Did sections A, B & C. Camped at Treetops on section B, which was a great site.

Camped at Pipeline on section C, which was nice and spacious, but also was pretty dusty & windy, and was also really close to a parking area, with a dirt access road that passes right by it. Fortunately we didn't have to deal with a lot of traffic coming & going, so there wasn't much noise to deal, but theoretically there could have been.

At Pipeline, there was an amazing sunset view at night after the hazy smoke from the distant fires had subsided. Overall it was an awesome and scenic float. Swallow canyon was amazing.

Good site. Large spot for a larger tent. Only downside what that it's quite the haul to take coolers from boats up to the campsite.

Unfortunately, the state of Utah has issued so many guide permits on this section that they have made it the most crowded river in the country. It's a nice place but the Utah Division of Wildlife has ruined the quiet nature of the river with hundreds of guide trips. The guides and clients are also often rude and the guides also target walk fisherman by directing their clients to fish on top of other fisherman. The guide companies feel like they own the river. The state should cut the guide licenses in half.

Nice sand! Hot spot so you’ll definitely want to have a pop up or shade of some sort.
