Big Bend campground consists of a few large group sites right along the edge of the Colorado river. They're only about a 25 minute drive from Moab. The sites are perfect for large groups of campers, because they're pretty big. The sites have picnic tables and fire rings. It was awesome to just sit around the fire at night and listen to the river.

My favorite part about the sites is that there is a huge bouldering area right across the street. You can rent a crash pad for about $10 a day in Moab, so it's pretty inexpensive if you want to give bouldering a try. There are some nice routes for both beginners and experienced climbers. Be sure to pack plenty of water if you go in the summer though, because there's not really any shade.

Of course there's also Arches National Park nearby to explore. I could spend days in there and never get bored. Moab is a really cool town too. Be sure to explore the food, shops, and whatever else you can find.
