Stellar views

Absolutely one of the most beautiful places we've stayed. Although popular during the day as a place to start or end rafting trips from the boat launch, it gets quiet at the end of the day.

Sites are large and can accommodate large RVs; however, some sites have pretty steep approaches that may require a significant number of leveling blocks.

If you stay nearest the road, these sites have little to no shade. This can get pretty warm in the summer sun so bring shade. It's 8 minutes to a ranch that carries ice, coffee and basic food and 25 minutes to Moab.

Cell service is weak and only worked in the middle of the night for some reason.

Absolutely central to some of the most beautiful that this area has to offer. Easy access to the Arches.

So Beautiful

Beautiful established BLM campground near Moab. The sites across from the river are somewhat open, but are spaced apart nicely so you still feel like you have privacy. The sites along the river are “walk up,” meaning you park your car in the spot near it but set up camp under the trees along the river.

$20/ night, self pay, no host, no reservations. 

Each site comes with a picnic table and fire pit. There are vault toilets and a trash dumpster. No recycling. 

There’s a reservable group site, go to recreation.gov for reservations. 

It’s right on the road but it was much quieter than we expected it to be. You’re surrounded by gorgeous scenery and it’s so peaceful and quiet. We loved it here. 

Near the entrance is a signboard and trail that takes you across the road to the Amphitheater Loop hike. Nice hike but part of it is a bit of a scramble going from right to left but if you take the loop starting to the left the trail where the scramble is is a bit easier to find…keep an eye out for the cairns. 

There is a boat ramp near the day use area. 

Zero cell service for any of the carriers but the cell booster did help some and allowed for some light browsing and very slow uploads on the verizon phone.

Incredible views

Maybe the most beautiful campsite we stayed at. Absolutely incredible views, I really think this one may be the most stunning site along 128. Far enough from Moab that you really don’t experience lots of cars going past (it is close to the road) or the small amount of light pollution the city gives off. Lots of space to even share singular campsites. Very well maintained
