This is an amazing campsite. We had several families and was great for the kids and dogs. Easy access to the rec path. Access to the river was a little steep for the kids but we did enjoyed some time along the river. The views are epic. Super close to town, Arches and many other landmarks. We hope to make this a tradition every year. Highly recommend these location.

Great group campsite right along the river. Pit toilets were clean and well maintained. Shade structure was great and plenty of room for tents. Easy to stake ground.

Family tent camping getaway at the group site was fun- the traffic and bike path noises were very loud- we left a day early because it was hard to sleep. Site was clean- River and Arches were very close, bathrooms clean. Definitely NOT a walk to town.

The campground was very nice. Right next to the road tho. So there is some kind of tour boat that goes up stream after dark till about 10 or 11 and a car follows on the road and shines a super bright light on the group campsites.

Perfect for my students because the site is very enclosed in a cozy way.

We stayed at site A with a large group of high school kids. There was plenty of space as well as enough parking for two large vans.

The scenery is breathtaking with the rock face on the other side of the Colorado.

After a long hike at arches, we went down to the boat ramp and took a plunge in the Colorado.

My only thing I wish they had was a way to view the Colorado from the campsite. Unfortunately, there is thick brush from the river to the campsite.

Our group of 20 plus enjoyed the space and location of Group Site A. Being next to the river was peaceful and the site provided plenty of room for our group. We also appreciated the proximity to town and Arches National Park. Thank you.

Came down with 20 humans for a long weekend on the river, great place to camp. Parking is a little limited but enough room for our group and raft trailers (had to disconnect the trailers to park.

We loved camping here and will definitely do it again! Super conveniently located to everything Moab has to offer. Yes, you’re close to the main road, but it’s pretty quiet at night. Being on the bike path was AWESOME! I’d recommend using your cars to block the driveway at night, as we had several cars pull in during the night and use our site (and woke up our tent camp campers…) errr… overall, great group site and highly recommend!
