Lower Onion Creek Campground
Reviewed Mar. 16, 2024

First campout of the season - for us and BLM

Arrived Friday night mid-March right at sunset and were only 1 of a handful of people in the campground. A few more people came in the next night, but it was pretty quiet and had enough space between each other with all the open spots. The campground host was very welcoming and excited to finally have campers - this was the first weekend she saw any for the season. We walked down to the creek and then the Colorado River- very pleasant though a but wet. Saw some deer tracks, enjoyed the river, and watched the sunset.

It definitely was cold - high 20s at night - probably a few degrees cooler than Moab with being higher up out of the valley. The drive in was absolutely beautiful with views all the way in.

Overall, very beautiful spot with great views, nice facilities (open sky pit toilets - stargazing while you do your business ftw!). Road was easy to get in with a standard SUV, but seems like it wouldn't be as private and get a little crowded in the peak months.
