Campsites are located along the banks of the Colorado River, nestled between massive canyon walls. Individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The campground accommodates tents and small RVs only. Eleven of the sites are walk-in only tent sites. This location is popular due to its proximity to Moab and area hiking, biking and 4WD/UTV roads. Individual Sites: 21 (limited to 10 people & two vehicles per site) Water: No Toilets: Yes Hook-ups: No
From the center of Moab (Center St. & Main St.), head south to Kane Creek Road (between the Burger King and McDonald's). Turn right (west) on Kane Creek Road. At the stop sign, continue straight and drive 2 miles. The campground will be on your right, just past the Moab Rim Trailhead.
Great campsite on the Colorado river. We got a walk-in site as well as a normal drive in site. It’s first come first serve, but when we came at 8am, there were quite a few spots open (late April). If you are looking for a last minute spot, there’s a decent chance you can get something early in the morning. Most people left after 1 night or 2 and people leave their sites by 7-9am because they go explore the national parks etc.
Close to arches and Canyonlands. 5 minutes from Moab; it’s great having gas stations and food right there while still being out in nature!!
No water, no rv hookups, pit toilets with hand sanitizer, $20 a night. No shade at all in almost all the sites, and it gets hot in spring/summer in the morning and afternoon. The canyon walls block the sun in the evening, and it was lovely. You are quite close to your neighbors and there aren’t trees to dull the sound, so bring earplugs. We had noisy neighbors and there were a lot of ATVs driving by on the road.
To save your spot, leave something obviously in your site and pay the fee. Easy peasy.
Very well maintained and cool atmosphere with the river right next to you and the tall cliffs behind it. Fee is expensive at $20 especially when you own annual NP pass and don’t get a discount.
The nature is epic here. For sure. Just wish it wasn’t side by side with electric wires and on the road where cars drive by. But beauty to look at and no bugs while we stayed. Bathrooms - good.
