The group sites at Dewey Bridge are located along the Colorado River and offer a wonderful retreat for adventurers looking to explore the area. Within close proximity to national parks and open space, outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and four-wheel drive tours in the surrounding area. The town of Moab is approximately 45 minutes away and has dining, shopping, sports rentals, tour companies and museums.
Dewey Bridge group sites are close to excellent four-wheel drive routes, mountain biking trails and river rafting. River trips often use these sites as a starting or ending point for river trips on the Colorado and Dolores Rivers.
The Dewey Bridge group areas have fire rings, picnic tables, vault toilets and shade shelters. The group sites do not have water, dump stations or electric hook-ups. There is a boat ramp at the campground. Larger vehicles fit at this site, although trailer and RV parking is limited. (Multiple trailers and RVs can be accommodated at the Lone Mesa Group Sites along SR 313.)
Dewey Bridge is close to stunning vistas, scenic river ways, and impressive geology. With superb dark skies, visitors can enjoy a night of stargazing. The group sites are on the banks of the Colorado River with an adjacent boat ramp.
The group sites are beside the Colorado River and scenic State Route 128 leads from Dewey to the town of Moab and nearby Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.

Very clean! Nice sites on the river with fire pits and picnic tables. Clean bathrooms too
We were having a family reunion and needed a group site. We were having a hard time finding an open group site and ended up finding this one so we went with it. It's ok, not bad but not great. It is right off the road and right next to the Colorado River. The group sites are set up weird. We stayed at group site #2. We weren't really sure how to park our trailers so that they wouldn't be in the road. Group site #1 is even worse. I have no idea where you would park a few trailers at this one. There is no easy way down to the river and I was concerned about the kids falling in the river. The campground is next to a off road trail so during the day the road was pretty busy with Jeeps and side by sides. So not very relaxing. During the night you could hear passing cars while sitting around the fire. We couldn't really hear them once in the trailer. There was no campground host. So people using the trails would park their cars and trailers in the campground which doesn't leave a lot of room on the road. The restroom is a vault and it is actually in a structure. Which if you know the campgrounds in the area a lot of them are just fenced in with no roof. So that is a plus. There is a pavilion covering the picnic tables but there isn't a lot of space between the parking and the river. It's about a 45 min drive one way into Moab. Over all we had a place to stay and we had a good time but I do not plan on staying here again.
Back in the day, this was an amazing Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in Utah, now its a piece of History. It burned down because a young boy was playing with matches and started some brush on fire.
It was beautiful and only $20. However the wind was bad for a while and there were biting flies so make sure you spray yourself down.
