Green River’s shaded, grassy campground is a beautiful oasis in the desert! The campground has recently been renovated with water and electric hookups for most sites. Modern restrooms provide showers. Sheltered picnic tables provide a relaxing spot to enjoy views of the Green River.
Approximately 182 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. Located within the city limits of Green River, Utah just off Interstate 70.
All Sites: $45/night (electric and water hookups)
Extra Vehicle: $20/night
After long day on the road, had booked this spot as a short one night stay. Arrived in somewhat late about an hour before sun down. First of all, very limited signage as to which way was where on the roads. I eventually found the marked spot and proceeded to back in. This was ridiculously tight spot for what they said would fit a 30 foot RV. Anyway, I had no option but to drive on the grass and slowly back in. Complicating matters was a huge tree on one side of the site that was leaning deeply into the road on one side and a huge boulder/rock on the other side. Seriously, WHY????? Anyway, after 5-10 minutes of easing in there, I realize (as others have pointed out) they put the hook ups on the wrong damn side of the campsite!! I confirmed later with my receipt this was considered a back in site for this size of RV. I can promise you, there is no way to back in without driving quite a ways onto the grass into another person’s camp site to maneuver in there. And man it’s treacherous given the trees and boulders on each side of the lot. So, anyway, to avoid going all night without my electrical hook up (end of June), I pulled back out, went back around and came back to pull in and park forward instead of backing in so I could access the electric. Swinging as wide as I could without hitting the boulder on the driver's side, I thought I was clear of the massive hanging trunk of a tree on the passenger side (see picture), but NO. As I pulled in, the trunk, scraped the top side of the RV which bent the awning and snapped off the cell booster mounted to the ladder. The awning was still usuable but eventually the fiberglass portion of the roof was starting to separate where the damage occurred. Clearly, given what other reviewers have said, they simply don't care about the people's property or safety in this park. I'm not sure if it's because it's owned by the state and thus a "state job" or what, but this was beyond negligent. At the very least, they should mark this site for tents or cut back the damn tree!! Not only is it a hazard for RV's, it will be a hazard in a severe lightning/wind storm one day and this lack of caring will not only destroy property but is likely to get somebody hurt. I really can't think of a positive thing to say about this place. Oh, and $53 for ONE NIGHT? I've stayed in many state parks for a quarter of the price (or less) with much better amenities and location that won't damage your vehicle due to negligence. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I'd rather stay in a Walmart parking lot. Safer and free without the headache!
Went here for a special Date Night Weekend. Had fun at the river and people are super nice all over town. It was hard to find a nice restaurant where I could wear my new black dress and heals so just leave yours behind and pack some comfy shoes and a tank top instead....
Nice grassy campground with flush toilets and showers. The table and fire pit area are nice but a little close together so if you have a lot of people it gets a bit crowded. A large place to pitch our family tent which is 12x16. The Green River is close to the campground. They have disc golf and they are on a golf course.
Very spacious between campsites. Lots of shade trees and beautiful green grass for the kids to play. The campsite map made it look like we would have a river view but it was about 1/4 mile to the river. Beautiful golf course and disc golf course on the property.
Nice little park but not our favorite. We have a 41 ft 5th wheel and a long bed dually. We gave this information when we booked several weeks in advance. Not enough room for our 5 slides with trees on both sides. Love that they have plenty of trees, but our dining slide was inches from a tree, which we had no choice about as we had to make accommodations for the 2 slides on the opposite side with the tree in between. Had to park truck on the road. On Mondays and Thursdays, they water the grass. The sprinkler heads are not turned strategically away from the campsites. The spray is extremely high pressured and goes about 30 feet. The spray heads should be fanned out, not in a jet stream near the RVs. Unfortunately, our entire site got soaked (windows, rugs, chairs, tables), and one sprinkler head was directed right at the seals of our bedroom slide, so water got in, ran under our bed and soaked an 8 ft runner. We had to use beach towels to clean up the water. Dave, one of the camp hosts, was wonderful. He tried to get us a space that would fit our big rig better and was responsive to our requests and complaints (after we were told there was nothing they could do about it) within the realm of his responsibilities. In fact, after we complained to the office about the water in our RV and they said to call Dave, he was nice enough to take up our rug and lay out over the metal picnic table so it would dry in the sun. The pad itself was completely submerged in water. There was nothing else he could do but turn off the sprinklers (which were due to be shut off) at that time. It's a very pretty park, and with a smaller rig and better management of the sprinkler system, there is no problem.
