One of many campgrounds along this stretch of the Colorado east of Moab. If you're looking for beautiful scenery next to a nice cool water front then this place is your desert paradise. All campgrounds had permanent firerings and picnic tables.

The sites fill up very quickly. The first day we tried to get a spot around 1 in the afternoon in May and all spots were filled. We got lucky the next morning and swooped in as another party was leaving around 10, so arrive early!

Nearby are the Big Bend boulders and many side trails into the main canyon. To the east lies the most famous desert tower in the world, Castleton Tower. Driving south through Castle Valley will take you up to the stunning La Sal loop road if you need to escape the heat!
