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!

*Unreliable reservation system.* A large group was in my reserved site when I arrived at 7 p.m. and there was no ranger or camp host that could help me at all. Very frustrating after having booked the reservation a few months in advance. And of course all other sites were full. Seems very easy to poach a spot at these sites and there is no accountability/camp hosts/rangers to help in a situation like this. This party also used their generator during hours you were not supposed to. They were not at the site when I initially arrived (but lots of RVs and tents setup). I also would not have felt comfortable confronting them. Book at your own risk.

Some trash left behind by previous campers, and red ants near the tables but otherwise very quiet, beautiful view, clean bathroom, and nice shelter for the site with multiple tent spaces.

We were there during the Safari Jeep Week and the area was busy. Despite the business the staff was amazing! Our campsite/campground was clean and well maintained. We always look forward to visiting this area in the spring.

Clean and close to the best trails, parking was a little tight but everything else was fantastic. Would do it again.

Overall great. Noisy with ATVs but to be expected. Don't why though they can't put an open air, shed roof of sorts over the toilet. Have been there when it's pouring and had to erect our own tarp rain shelter over the toilet
