Amazing hidden campground and RV park. sites are not level and gravel doesn't make for good tents. location and solitude make up for it. Deer were next to campers evening and morning.

Beautiful campground. Very quiet. Temperatures were about 65 at night (mid-July) - a much appreciated contrast to the 100+ degree weather in Moab.

Facilities were clean and well maintained. Forest Service staff were doing some work around the campground during our stay. Campers were quiet and respectful. Even with a larger group in the South Group campsite, noise was not a problem. We found it to be very relaxing.

Campground was great for what it is. We had some noisy group campers the first night. The were quiet the other night. The stars were fantastic. We live in a city and we arrived after dark. It was completely pitch black. I couldn't even see my hand in front of me. You could see everything. It was amazing. It just has pit toilets and water spickets. We only stayed a couple nights so if you plan on wanting to shower and clean up you will need to figure that out. We paid for showers in Moab koa as we were there to see arches and canyonlands.

It is difficult to know what a campground will be like if you have never been there. We were unsure about the location and condition of this campground when we booked it. All other campgrounds close to Arches National Park and Moab were booked so we went farther away and found this one. We were so amazed when we arrived. It was absolutely beautiful. Shaded by aspen trees that were just turning color with clean and well kept toilets and fresh water availability. If you are going to Canyonlands National Park (South) this is the perfect place to stay especially if you are traveling South after your visit to Canyonlands or Arches. Thank you to the Forest Service for this little gem.

This was a very nice campground! Close to Canyonlands National Park but not as crowded as other nearby campsites, it was the perfect mix of both worlds. It's also higher up in elevation so cooler at night than down in Canyonlands.

Great little campground. Aspen meadow with plenty of wildflowers and wildlife. The deer and turkeys strolled through our site often. We are in site one, I was able to get my 30ft class C in and fairly level. A few other sites would accommodate this size, but not much larger. Clean well supplied pit toilets.
Teddy Roosevelt would be happy, 2 large groups of kids were here last night. They were laughing and playing and none were looking at their phones. It was good to see

It was a nice surprise to find so much cut firewood stacked at the campsite!
