The road to get here can be interesting if you’ve never been. I wasn’t expecting a dirt road right next to the river. You don’t need any special vehicle though and as soon as you get to the resort, it is GORGEOUS. They have a couple playgrounds (one is better than the other) and lots of open grass area. The swimming pond was a great place for my kids to play. I randomly tried this resort and it will definitely be one I go to again.
We took a 21’ bumper pull to a double RV site and had a super great time. Site 46 on loop B is so good, double RV spot, right by the bathroom, tons of extra room for a tent if you want one
Toilets flush! Honestly one of the best bathrooms I’ve seen.
The northern part of loop B is really close to the dock if you’ve got a boat.
We had a couple prairie dogs and chipmunks visit our site. Didn’t bother us, still wary of humans, but they were fun to watch
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.
Nine Mile Ranch is a great campground outside of Wellington, UT and a good base camp to check out Nine Mile Canyon. They have historic cabins they have used for camping cabins, RV and tent sites. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Super friendly and knowledgeable camp host. I would definitely stay again!
Inner city beauty. To be just inside a quiet little town, it gives a sense of safety and security.
I stayed here last minute booking/trip because Moab was booked up. It worked out great. One day I went to Moab, arches, Canyonlands. Another day I spent at Goblin Valley. The campsites were clean, the staff was very helpful & friendly. The pool was clean and as a bonus they has a K-9 area for pet play off leash.
Called a few days ago for reservation, was very easy and a friendly voice on the phone. Same voice checked me in with a wonderful story of rescued cats as I'm traveling with my two cats. Found my site was perfect for my tent and my truck is right next to it. Lots of amenities, ready access to the Green River and tons more sight seeing. Come make this your launching pad for Utah's beauty
Stayed 3 nights. Very pretty and very easy to get to. Didn’t stay at the campground drive down an oil rig road and found a camp spot with no one around!!.
We called ahead to see if they had sites available for the night. Arrived just before the office closed at 8pm. Got a pull-through full-hookups site. The campsite pads are level, nice and wide, gravel like the roads. Our site had a picnic table and a small rock fire ring. Full hookups worked fine.
Bathrooms were good.
We would definitely stay here again.
It’s my second Koa and the one in Vegas and green river are very good
We got to our site at 11:30pm, called ahead of time right as the office was about to close to let them know we were gonna be late. The staff was phenomenal. They told us everything and left us a map and everything we needed for our site. The site was clean and very well kept. Our two pups enjoyed getting to walk around and stretch their legs. The bathroom/shower facilities are very nice and clean. We highly recommend this campground to anyone who just wants to sleep for a few hours like we did or a few days. You are right off the interstate with hotels right near you as well.
Pool was wonderful. Kids loved the water slide. Staff were very friendly. Sites we very spacious. Loved how they put us on a buddy site with family we were traveling with.
Joes Valley Campground is beautiful campground in the idle of Manti-La Sal mountain range.
The campground is clean and well kept. We stayed in site 26. There were trees on both sides of the campsite and there is ample spacing between sites. There are water spigots throughout the campground to fill water containers, but non at the individual sites.
There are no trash bins onsite, so what you bring in, you have to pack out. The campground sits right on the Joes Valley Reservoir which is a beautiful turquoise color and is great for boating and fishing. The water is still very cold for swimming.
There is no shortage of biking, hiking and riding trails. The campground sits adjacent to the Arapeen Tail which is a network of OHV trails. We stayed two nights here and wished we could stay more. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
Endless trails to ride/hike good camping and fishing highly recommended!!!
The 9 mile Canyon Ranch has a little bit of everything. RV spots, tent camping, cabins. There are clean bathrooms and showers for $3. You can hammock in some spots. Best to call in ahead so they get you a best part with some of the trees.
Beautiful area. No service but there is Wi-Fi at the house. The lady there was SUPER nice and answered all my questions and was very willing to help and make sure I had a good stay.
I slept in my Bronco but my spot had a campfire and picnic table. Enjoyed my stay.
Site was clean and quiet. Weren’t too many campers around. Lots of trees for shade. Lake is drying up and looks a bit sad. Water is far out from any marina or anglers point so if you plan to fish or kayak be ready for a good walk Or a drive to take you to the other side of the lake! Also campground does not have dumpsters. You are required to pack everything out so try to have as little of garbage as possible or make space for it with you to take.
This is a great campground for all types of camping situations; an oasis in the middle of the desert to refuel, shower, plug-in, have a hot meal at the restaurant next-door, recharge and even swim in the pool or float the Green River through Labrynth canyon in the warm months. So much to do in either direction from Green River - all the national parks and public land access. Not sure if there’s a better place in Utah for it.
This is a very nice small full hookups campground! Spot are small. But there are a few larger 5th wheel trails here. Michelle and her husband are very friendly and easy to talk with. Was open by her parents I think she said in 1956. She grew up here. Now runs it. Working on upkeep and improvements. Spots leavel to within and inch or two. The trains run 75 yards from camp. And can hear the highway to the west. But blue Cut is Located on east side of a canyon so cliff wall reflects sound. So if your a person who has to wear ear plugs when camping in the back country of a national forest, this is not for you! Have enjoyed our two day stay here at Blue Cut RV Park and will stop in when passing through this part of country.
The Host (Jenna) was a real sweetheart and went above and beyond in educating me about her experience working in a KOA. The campground sites were EXTREMELY well kept and ALOT of work has gone into sprucing up what used to be a run down place. Every single campsite is circled with a special touch (i.e., mulch, artificial grass, rock border, etc). The large dog run area was perfect for my boxer. We spent a day hiking up to the Arches National park (a MUST DO in this area!) and the Swasey beach was an interesting and tranquil place to picnic. I would definitely stay here again!
This is the worst RV park in Green River Utah. No staff - no propane - not well kept areas.
Stayed in a cabin as we were too tired to set up a tent. Tent sites are almost non existent. Showers were clean. The door to our cabin had some pretty severe gaps. And overall there was faint but lingering smell of hot garbage. Also noting it pretty much was a KOA at one time. Playground is old and full of garbage/food wrappers containers.
Has trees , Good Verizon LTE, water a little chlorine taste, RV and car wash next door, 40 channels air tv, fuel available, 45 minutes from Moab . Under new owners, playing catch-up on some of the deferred maintenance items. Next to public golf course. Town is quiet with two decent restaurants
No shade, just rocks and gravel. Pricey for what you get. good restaurant next door. Interesting museum across the street.
Stayed here for 3 nights in 37' 5th wheel. RV park is quiet. It's a little old, but not run down and not trashy at all. Some grassy sites. Mostly Gravel, some sandy areas. Not muddy if wet. Good hookups. Pet friendly. I feel a little bad for giving three stars, but I should give it four because there's always availability it seems. I know many of you are a bunch of softies so I don't want to skew the reviews with my four-star. This is in the middle of the desert! Hot days and cool nights. 50 amp. Fresh Water. Sewer hookups. Have video here of drive through
Even with the effect of the drought this campsite is still beautiful. No facilities except fresh water fountains and vault toilets sparsely located. Very quiet during the week, weekends busy but respectful. Road into camp is paved but curvy.
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.
The camp sites were great. They were clean and well kept. The water was really low. We don’t own a boat, so we were shore bound. Lots of rocks and trash on the shores and the sand was like quick sand along the water. Long story short, don’t go to hang out by the water and swim.
It is also worth noting that there is water available, but not at each site.
