I booked both Datura C and D group sites because we were going to have a large group getting together for spring break. Most of the individuals were going to be camping in their vans, with one group bringing a small pop up trailer, another in the back of a Tacoma, and one group pitching a couple small tents. The information on the Recreation.gov site is misleading, stating you could only park 2 vehicles at site C and 3 at site D. Site D had a huge parking area. We easily fit 8 vehicles in this site for one evening with no detriments to campground access or other campers. Site C could easily accommodate 3 vehicles, although the parking spot was not level for camper vans. Because of this misinformation and the better parking in Site D, we didn't even utilize Site C for the majority of the week we had booked. This misinformation on the recreation.gov site is the only reason I can't give the site 5 stars.
Other than the misinformation, the campsites were amazing. You have sun all day at these sites, which is awesome in the spring, the bathrooms were spotless and despite the proximity to 4x4 trails the sites are amazingly quiet. In the future I would book only Datura Site D for a large group of people.

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!
