Huge place, it is offering as for 10 RV´s but the space is huge. Only fireplace without grill grate which a bit complicated our plans.

Incredibly expensive gravel pit, with no shade and no river views. If this wasn't the only legal option for our boat group to be close to the Potash ramp, I never would have booked it. Drive further and stay somewhere else

Lots of sun so prepare shade. It was nice being by the river but don't forget that brings the wind.

Our stay at the recreation campsite along the Colorado River in Moab was absolutely wonderful. The location was stunning—nestled between towering red rock cliffs and the peaceful flow of the river, it felt like a true escape into nature. The campsite was clean, quiet, and well-managed, with easy access to hiking trails, scenic drives, and nearby national parks.
We especially loved waking up to the sound of the river and watching the sunset paint the canyon walls each evening. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to relax, explore, and soak in the beauty of southern Utah.
Highly recommend this site to fellow campers and outdoor lovers. We’ll definitely be back!

We had planned to use this as a river takeout. Nothing indicates that isn’t possible. The river is 1/4 mi from the camp and the takeout was closed. Luckily, we took out in Moab, but we didn’t use our rather expensive camp. I do NOT recommend this camp!

When we arrived at our group site the dumpster was overflowing, the bathrooms were a mess with overflowing trash, the sign for our site was broken and laying on the ground and there was a mostly destroyed picknick table. We booked this site in advance only to find out that it's almost 1/3 the price if you show up and book it in person. The bottom line is we stayed our first night then left to find a site that was habitable.

Ok campsite. Great for groups.
Bring bug spray as bugs got bad at night.
We thought the water on the river would be by campsite but it was just muddy marsh.
No running water, bathrooms were ok.
No cell service for any carrier in this area.
Go hike corona arch.
