Gold Bar Group Sites

The Gold Bar A site was an excellent location for our friends and family to experience Moab and the local state and nationals parks. Great location on the Colorado River. The vault toilets were clean and maintained regularly and there was plenty of space for 5 RVs and 4 tents. It is also a good distance from the next group space.

The site is very large, and we were a group of 12 staying over a Saturday night. There are plenty of tables and access to the river. Be wary of poachers trying to stay on a corner of your site!

This campsite wasn't one of the better group ones in Moab. It's more like a parking lot with no shade and it smelled of urine. Location is nice, right on Potash Road and across from some great arch hikes. The other benefit it is was good for campers/trailers.

This campground is great for groups. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Site is fantastic for a big group. Good shade, tables, big fire pit, and lots of nice smooth ground for tents. 10/10

Other reviews noted that you end up with a lot of people either camping in the periphery, or blatantly right in your space. I didn’t think it would be that bad.
It was far worse than I imagined. I’d say each night we had 10-15 cars, trucks, vans, trailers trolling through the parking. Half looked around and moved on. The other half rolled the lot and either decided it was fine for them to do whatever they wanted, or they would circle a few times shining headlights and idling a big diesel truck till they moved on. This happened at all hours of the night.

During the day the camp ground is overflow for the local trail, so it was 100 cars deep with people in and around our camp the camping area.

I with they would add some better signage to separate the parking from camping, or at least put up campground full signs when the place is full.

All in all we did have a nice time. It was just frustrating to deal with hordes of people having paid 250/night.

Great campground, tons in space, and beautiful views. Just wish it had running potable water.

We were in Group campsite C. We had a fairly large group but not one to fill the large space. The sign on the entry to the camp area clearly state Group sites and their is a board with the listing of who has it reserved and what dates. SEVERAL people would just show up a d start pitching tents on our reserved site. We became the campsite landlords so we didn’t have random people poaching in our reserved area. It became ALMOST funny... we were worried every time we all left for an activity that there would be more people set up on our site that were not part of our group. Very annoying!!!! So, be warned. The site location is absolutely beautiful and there is direct access to the river and small beach area. Perfect for kids which we had plenty of. The Corona and Bowtie arch trailhead is directly across the street. A pretty hike to see the arches and is well worth it.

Great campsite, shirt walking distance to river and Carona Arch. Our camping trip was nearly ruined because every other camper from the other 3 group sites would walk directly through our campsite to get to the river!? All day, all evening, through our tents, through our shade tents where we're eating diner, non stop flow of traffic, it was insane! We asked several people to please respect our camp site and use the obvious pathways around our site to the river but nope! Because of this I would never camp at this particular campsite again.

Amazing spot!! Spent my 50th with a large group of friends.

Great camp site
