Gold Bar Group Sites

Great campsite for a large, organized group.

The good: Beautiful area and love that there are trails right by camp. The site was clean and in good condition when we arrived. The shade structure is great and much needed as we experienced highs in the 90s during the last week of May.
The Bad: When we arrived there were 5 vehicles parked in our camp spot, blocking one of our group families from setting up their camper there. We figured out later they were on the river and using our camp spot as boat ramp parking. To be fair the signs aren’t very good but they were literally parked right in front of the “Campsite A” sign. I wish there was better signage for parking rules as there is plenty of parking just up from the boat ramp towards the road but its like 40 feet further from the ramp so people seem to help themselves to the closest parking (campsite A). During our 3 day stay, numerous vehicles pulled in and parked in our spot including some foreign men who decided to skinny dip in the river only a few yards from our children. Lastly, $150 / night is really steep. BLM, please clearly mark as parking for campsite only, at least the front of the lot right next to the campsite.

Beautiful spot.

Great Spot! Easy in & out. Beautiful views.

Beautiful view. Could use to be cleaned.

The scenery, river, shade structure and plentiful tent space were all excellent. Due to high water we could launch our raft and float to Potash and we could jump off the rock at camp. Unfortunately both nights we had separate groups partying until morning. There was no camp host so no one was enforcing any rules.

Enjoyed our trip!

Now see why Site D was still available when I booked this trip as it is clearly the least loved at this campground...but it was still amazing. But if possible, I highly recommend the other three sites. Was jealous seeing the other campers with their chairs parked out on the river bank looking out over the mighty Colorado. D site neither has an open view of the river nor a pergola for shade...we didn't need the pergola as it was neither hot nor sunny during our stay, but could see it being useful when it is. Bathrooms were clean and in good shape. Amazing location on the river and hiking out to the arches across the street to watch the sunset.

A great time as always!

Large area for tents. Large parking lot for trailers. Great shaded picnic area. Good times!
