This spot is a hidden gem! Perfectly places with good seclusion with mature junipers well placed and a good sized rock hill right next to the camp site! We loved our time there and will be back for sure!!!

We arrived on a Wednesday late afternoon (in mid October) and had a reservation for one night in a group site (Echo). The site was only available that night. We were fortunate to find another non-reservable group site the next morning for the remainder of our visit. Beautiful area and easy access to Arches, Canyonlands, and downtown Moab.
We will definitely be back!

This was literally the perfect place to tent, we had our own shelter, picnic table, fire pit and the bathrooms were extremely clean and located right by our camp spot. There was no one else really near us and we had the whole campground basically to ourselves, we arrived as the sun was setting and also got to watch the sunset in the mountains. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating when we weren't sure how the payments worked to enter the campground. Definitely would recommend to anyone I knew that was going that way, we will be back!

Great location, away from the river so there are fewer bugs and hardly any mosquitoes. Bathrooms were very clean for outhouses, facility staff was friendly and accommodating!

Being so close to the ATV trails of the sandflats, I was expecting a very busy and loud campsite, but we were very pleasantly surprised that is was quiet with very few people camping and far enough from the road that the folks who were ATVing around us were not disturbing. It is a beautiful remote campsite that is low on amenities, but as long as you know that going it, it was a great place to set up camp for a few days.
