Large open grounds with just what you need and nothing more and price reflects that. Cell service was a lifesaver and worth the price alone. Keep in mind it was difficult to stake the tent due to the rocky ground and I was pretty much unable to do so. But I’m also new and maybe there’s a way to do it or a tool I was missing. Ground had rocks so you may have to clear them out for flat spot for the tent. We booked the equestrian space to be safe because the rest were first come first serve, and the picnic tables+pavilion provided cover should we have needed it. It did start to hail a slight bit. Grounds are pretty removed and no tree cover so incredible view of the stars. One bathroom I think. But we were the only people there for two nights so wasn’t an issue. Nice view of cows walking around in the morning. Don’t think there was a host around should we have needed anything but that wasn’t an issue. For the price we were very satisfied

It was quiet and felt like a gravel parking lot. But it served its purpose. Not used to zero lights. I got there late so it was hard to set up. But that’s on me

We enjoyed our time at this CG…mainly because there were few people there, and our spot had its own picnic area under a pavilion! It’s location is near Arches, but farther from Canyonlands, Island in the Sky district…it was like boondocking!
