The site was clean, and the bathrooms were in good shape. The location for fun in Moab is amazing, 12 mins back to town with good Coffee and food. If you are looking for an afternoon nap... the ATV's and other off-road vehicles might make that a little harder than in other areas.

Great group site with plenty of parking. It was nice to have several picnic tables and the shade structure over the tables.

Really great space, the only issue was the noise with the ATV's. Otherwise, it would have received 5 stars. It had clean pit toilets, but no other amenities.

Wow! We were a Very small group, and could not find smaller campsites. While this was a little bigger than we needed, it made the experience absolutely incredible!!! Please consider allowing more group campsites to allow smaller groups so that more can book when smaller sites have filled up.

The campsite and surrounding area in the park was beautiful and one of the best we have stayed at this year. It was a bit expensive compared to what we saw other people who would like to come to camp overnight.

Other then location this camp area offers nothing. Only a few pit toilets and some didn't even have a roof(just a fenced in area). Got a group site for 80$ a night and it was exactly the same and a regular site just with a large parking area. No running water anywhere on property. Most sites had nothing but a fire ring. This is BLM land and should be free to disperse camp at. The money they charge to stay here you would think to have some running water and cover toilet areas.

Been coming every year for 34 years. Moab has changed a lot but the trails are similar and I always have fun!

Très cher pour 0 service. Et suite à arrivée assez tardive ( 19h45) nous avons galeré à trouver un endroit où poser notre RV : pas de lumière, pas de fléchage et bien sûr personne à l'accueil ( mais quel accueil d'ailleurs ?)
Seul gros regret de nos expériences de camping dans l'Ouest américain

This campground is very near Moab but it feels like it is hundreds of miles away from everything. Quite amazing. Very popular place for local OHV, Jeep and motorcycle tours, so be prepared for some noise during the day and dust. No electricity, no water but very clean pit toilets. Staff super friendly and easy to drive to with an RV. Will be back!
