Lower Onion Creek Group Sites

Great location for Fisher towers and onion creek rd. Spent our time relaxing on some well deserved time off.

The campsite had a lot of loose trash left by previous campers. Other than that, everything was excellent.

The site itself is wonderful. Roomy, right by the confluence of the Colorado River and Onion Creek, private and clean. Five picnic tables and a larger shelter. Concrete fire pit, close to the very clean vault toilets.

However, I reserved on rec.gov two nights and paid $308. My buddies were curious why I paid so much when the sign on the site said $50 per night. I am curious as well.

We stayed at a large group site that was amazing, easily of the best locations we've camped at. Right by the river with great views all around. Also right next to fisher towers, which was an awesome hike. Would recommend.

Great location and access to onion creek. We had a noisy generator from another campsite and had to remind them of the 8am-8pm cutoff. Bathroom was pretty clean.

Such a beautiful campsite and a great location! We were launching a raft in the river the next morning, and we were directly across from the launch point.

Spectacular views! Clean and spacious

I love this spot. No loud dust throwing utvs, had colorado river access, restrooms, located a mile from river road so it's very quiet and shade structures in group sites. Only issue is the wind but that's all over moab. It's my favorite spot, don't try and outbid me for my reservations;)

Lower Onion Creek is one of the best camping sites along the Colorado. It’s the only one that is well off the main road, so you get no car noise from UT-128.

The main camping sites are first come first served, but groupsites A, B, and C are reservable. All groupsites have a shelter, and there is also a public day-use shelter along the river next to the parking lot. In my opinion, groupsite A is the best as it is the only one on the same side as the Colorado River, and has foliage and trees. Sites B and C have a parking lot between them and the river, and besides the shelter, there is no foliage or tree to protect from the hot sun.

There are also river entry points in the parking area. It’s a great spot for tubing or SUPs, and the river is calm in this area. Small rapids further down river but would recommend life vests if tubing. You will need a permit for actual rafting, but no permit needed for tubing or SUPs.
