Upper Onion Creek Group Site

Great for group camping.

Great for group camping.

Was removed and quiet from the rest of the campground. Great riding outside of camp. Four clean safe corrals. Easy for big rig to get in and turn around. First come first serve is only $30… but online $100? Unfortunately out of state horse people can’t risk first come first serve…

We loved staying at this site. We were celebrating my husband's birthday with friends here. The shelter with tables was very nice to have as well as the fire-pit provided. Our group were all sleeping in van's or camper trucks. Some friends used mountain bikes and others motor cross bikes to go up upper onion creek road and all enjoyed it! It is a bit of a drive to get to Moab - 30 minutes, but we all loved the beauty of this site! We placed a couple orange cones at the beginning of the drive so that it wasn't used by ATV's as a playground and to reduce the traffic of those who wanted to use the campsite bathroom.

Really helpful and informative if in the area - Keith was an absolute delight

Keith G! What a legend, helped us with some useful first hand info, and managed to do it with a serving of authenticity and friendly conversation. This place is worth a visit outside of going to the usual Visitor centre if visiting the south west Utah area for adventure.

Appears well organised and staffed with the right people for the role. Thanks again.

Here is what happened to us on our camping trip at Onion Creek.

We got there on Wednesday at noon and started to set up camp. People started to drive in and use the bathroom.
As the weekend got closer the traffic started to be more often only almost all of the traffic was those 4-wheelers. Trucks hauling these 4-wheelers were coming into our camp and turning around and then parking on the side of the road in our camp site. One truck parked next to the bathroom and unloaded their 4-wheeler and left for the day leaving the truck right there by the bathroom. When we confronted these people, all they wanted to do was argue with us and telling us that the bathroom was for public use which is not true, it is in our campsite. We kept telling these people to read the boards you provide, but they don't seem to tell everyone to stay out of the PRIVATE Group Sites.
I am requesting you send a ticket and a warning to the people who parked in our campsite for the day and have them send a payment for trespassing and using OUR site. Their License plate number is Colorado 059 YBK.

I suggest that the BLM post a large sign at the entrance of both campsites A and B stating that they are PRIVATE and not for public use and also not to block or park on the road leading into these sites.
