3/5

Campsites were quite close to each other. I could hear the conversations from all three neighboring sites. My campsite had no shade and the ground was essentially a gigantic anthill. I chose my campsite because it was described as “riverside” , which is technically true , kinda sorta. The spot where the table , fire pit , and tent are set up are not really next to the river. There is a short trail , maybe fifteen second walk down to the river , which was nice to look at while drinking my coffee in the morning but the walking path down to the river leads to a small footprint. I couldn’t actually walk up and down the river , just stand in my one little 3 x 3 spot and look at it. Beautiful view , though. Bathroom was filthy. Might has well have been a vault toilet. The white sink looked like a marble composition notebook from all of the dead bugs all over it. Not cleaned at all during the two nights I was there. Even at the low price of $18/night , I still felt like it wasn’t worth it. Buggiest campsite of my whole eight-day trip , with ants all over the place. Firewood was easily accessible and reasonably priced at $7/bundle with a convenient QR code option to pay via Venmo. With other campgrounds at Dinosaur charging $10 for “primitive” conditions , I thought the flush toilets and running water in the bathrooms would make it worth the extra $8 but the bathrooms were so filthy that they actually felt “primitive”. The vault toilet I used while hiking near one of the “primitive” campsites was only slightly more disgusting than the one at Green River , but the sites were spaced much farther apart in a far more beautiful setting and at close to half the price. Still a three star experience for convenience and incredible views but for the price , the bathrooms should have been cleaned.
