Joes Valley Reservoir
Good Campground
I've camped at this campground twice now; once in August of 2020 and once in July of 2021. Both times the experience has been good. The campsite has potable water and vault toilets. Before my two visits, I reserved my sites on recreation.gov. This made the experience hassle-free.

One thing to note is that although you can tent camp at this site, the majority of campers are those using RVs. I enjoyed my experience tent camping. However, if you are somehow bothered by RVs or excess noise, you might want to find another campground.

Overall, a good place to stay and I will certainly be back.

Well appointed but noisy
The site is located really close to a major road near the highway and thus a lot of noise if tent camping. I would imagine that RVs would be less bothered. Showers and bathrooms were OK, and staff seemed receptive to feedback about them. Nice pool, deck chairs and slide for the kids. Store is well-stocked. Nice little discount at the restaurant across the parking lot for KOA residents.

Nine Mile Canyon Ranch
Rustic and scenic
This is a nice campground to stay in if you want to explore the canyons. The location is perfect for day trips into the canyons to search for petroglyphs and historic cabins. The scenery is amazing. The campsite had a real nice covered picnic table and a fire pit. There were no hookups but they say they have potable water you can use. They also have firewood you can purchase but we brought our own. We did not use the showers but they do have them available. The bathrooms have flush toilets and running water and were very clean. There are historic cabins you can rent or you can camp in your tent or RV. We were there in April and it wasn't too busy so it was pretty quiet. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the area.

Convenient
Due to issue with the conversion ban we rented we need electric hookups for every night if we want power. The battery will not stayed charged. So I had cancelled my original camping spots and had to rush and find a campground with electric. I was lucky enough to come upon this campground and was able to get a reservation the same day. Staff were friendly at the desk. They have a pool but it wasn’t currently open, showers,laundry,playground, and basketball. Spot were nice and level. Did not use the fire pit but they do have them at each site. Would recommend if in the green river area.

Goblin Valley State Park Campground
Great campground with a shelter!
Each tent site has a pad and a shelter that has a shade panel. There is no parking next to the site, but it is small walk to the site. The tent sites are spaced far apart and some are tucked behind the Goblins.

There is a good restroom facility with running water and showers that do not need a token or coins. There are 4 showers. Overall, this is a great place to stay.

Goblin Valley State Park Campground
Camping on mars
This was a quick weekend trip and this place blew me away! The campsite (site 3) was nestled right by some rocks which blocked the morning sun (major plus). Some campsite parking spots, like ours, were like 20 yards away from the car, but some were right next to the site. Bathrooms are clean and there are clean showers too. Each site has a nice fire pit with grill and a metal canopy and large picnic table. Can hike around right off the campsite or go to the valley or drive to wild horse canyon. Firewood available at visitor center. Water was on boil advisory Aug 2020 so call and check bc its 30-45 min to the nearest city. No ice available.

Shady Acres RV Park
Friendly and convenient
Nice place. Laundry on site which was the biggest draw. Can’t find a laundromat in 100 miles of here lol. Reasonable prices. Clean. Has a fenced in dog park. Not many trees and dusty/sandy but I guess that comes with the area.

Nine Mile Canyon Ranch
Quiet, low key base to explore
We stayed in a campground spot with grass, fire pit and a kind of splintery picnic table. We had the area to ourselves. We were next to a stream on the other side of a fence. Deer came to visit. Cottonwood trees all around, had not yet leafed out, but I imagine nice shade in summer. 2 very clean single stall restrooms with flush toilets and lavs a short walk away. The campground could use a bit of TLC, yet we loved our stay, because so peaceful. They also have cabins and pull through camping with shelters. Very nice person checking us in.
