Kane Creek Campground - Permanently CLOSED

First of all, it's a campground. I'm not sure what others expected. I'm happy to have a place to pitch my tent, a pit toilet, some place to chill at the end of the day. Maybe this place is more expensive than others, but have you checked the hotel prices in Moab? We got an established site (vs a primitive site) and hung a hammock from the trees. Minimal instructions, we just hung our printed booking confirmation on the post of our choice. Yes it was hot &amp; dusty, but that's Utah at the end of June. We were there mid-week and only a handful of other sites were occupied. Found the noise levels to be satisfactory and the stars pretty impressive. The canyon views were lovely.. Would've gotten bonus points for river access though...

Better than the online reviews!

The campgrounds were basic, not many families. The sites had a good amount of space, picnic tables, fire ring, water, toilets and a sandy base to pitch the tent on. Not far from Arches National Park and just outside Moab so location was good.

Showers after a hot day

Driving to the place you couldn’t see any real signs to help navigate where you’re going. When you finally reach the place the host campground is not noticeable. You had to knock on the camper next to a boarded up house. Then the gal that helped us figure out where to set up, though she was nice and helpful was in pajamas and looked like she wasn’t at work. Driving through and finding a camp site we noticed it wasn’t maintained very well, had overgrown grass and dead trees in several areas where you couldn’t even reach the campsite. When we finally found our campsite there was dog poop that hadn’t been picked up in awhile in several places giving it an awful smell the entire time we were there. I wouldn’t recommend this place with the high price we had to pay with such low quality. 

Wouldn’t recommend.

Passed 4-5 different signs saying Kane Creek Campground. One was completely cleared out, and listed as revegetation area. The next was an abandoned riverfront campground and then further down the road you come across an RV park section on the left that is well signmarked with a CLOSED banner over the top. Peeking out from underneath were their rates and even a sign saying that they had canvas teepees for rent. The facilities at the end looked really nice, but closed.. Not sure if its for the season, for moving, or closed forever? Wish we could know, it looks cool.
