Great location and beautiful

9 individual sites and 4 group sites a little further down. Trash dumpster is at the group site area. By the river and across the street from the Corona Arch trailhead. Great location if you want to do the hike early morning and go back to camp for lunch. Sites are pretty spread around and the ones by the river have bushes and brush great for privacy. No cell signal for tmobile but starlink worked great!
