Nice remote campground

Beautiful site along the Green River within Dinosaur National Monument. We arrived about 4 pm on a Sunday in October so had several FCFS sites to choose from. There is a nice easy-moderate trail along the river from Loop A Of the campground. Quiet with clean, basic bathrooms. Lots of cottonwood trees changing color now.

Nice campground

Our 2nd time here. First time we had a spectacular view of the comet Neowise. Some sites along river. As with any campground, some sites close together. Campground was pretty empty this time and we could pick site. Water, flush toilets, although bathrooms not well cared for and smelled bad. Loop A seemed more our style, no big rigs. No sign of campground host. Nice hiking trail along river. Peaceful evening with a lightning and thunder show!

Oasis in Dinosaur National Monument

The Green River Campground-is located inside Dinosaur National monument. There is water available in the campground, and flush toilets, but no hook ups and no showers or anywhere to fill water tanks anywhere in the park, no dump stations. Most sites can be reserved through the government’s website. There is a boat ramp area nearby for river rafters , and it’s close to the fossil quarry.

Not a bad little spot for a night

We stayed here on a road trip for one night. Our initial spot we reserved was wide open and not that appealing, but we were able to move spots to a nice spot on the river that was largely tree covered. The host was kind about the move. Can’t speak to the park itself though I wish we had more time to explore.

Wonderful site in Dinosaur National Monument

No hookups but this is a gem of a campground. Quiet and peaceful And right on the Green River within the Dinosaur National Monument. Someone in a previous review called it ‘tent city’. I didn’t have that experience at all. I totally loved this Campground and would definitely book again. You can run a generator from 7am-9pm, but I heard none of that (except mine for an hour to get my fridge back up and running, lol). Of course we were out exploring most of the day. They do have bathrooms with toilets and water stations. No showers. My son is in a wheelchair and the handicap site was nice and close to the bathroom with a paved walkway: Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!

Tent City (ish)

While Dinosaur Monument is one of my favorite places with it's incredible beauty, this camp site is not great. Dirty, noisy, cramped sites, and it is this way every time we have gone to look at it. Reminds me of a homeless camp.

For tenters - I don't recommend

Green River Campground is not the caliber of the adjacent Split Rock Group campground on the same road.

One look at the weedy mess of my campsite #B 33 in the dust made me think instantly of a possible chigger infection. Not worth it.

Be cautious when booking.

I didn't stay.

Second campground on Cub Creek Road

    Drove through the campground after visiting Josie's Ranch. This campground seemed more RV friendly. I gave it 4 stars because I thought Split Mountain was more scenic. 

    There's 80 sites, reserveable in the summer. I thought sites 7-10 looked nice & they were by the river. There's supposed to be flush toilets & water access, though I would top off before coming here. No electricity. No showers. It looked like the camp host was there. I would definitely reserve if coming in the summer.

Overall Good Experience

This campground has about 20 spots for reserve and about 50 first come first serve. The middle and sports close to the water have more shade. The spots near the road have almost none. The spots near the road are much smaller if you are pitching a tent. The middle spots are closer together on a good number of them. Lots of ground squirrels and lizards. If you go to the beach watch out for the hellgrammites!

We rushed into this campground early for the first come first serve spots available.  We had a quarry timed entry so we hurried and grabbed a spot.  We were very happy with the location and access to the national monument.  We had limited cell coverage, but it was okay for a couple of nights.  We enjoyed walking around the campground and enjoyed the river.

Lovely fall camping!

We arrived mid-October, when sites are first-come first-served and the fall foliage absolutely beautiful. Only two loops were open and a good number of sites, including all the riverside ones, were taken. We drove around twice before noticing the absolute gem of a spot A10. Perfect secluded very slight walk-in tent site amidst otherwise packed together sites clearly designed for RVs. There was maybe a 10 or 15 foot walk to a beautiful clearing.

Some rain blew in just as the sun was setting, but the skies opened up a bit later and were absolutely stunning. A true dark sky for real stargazing. It was chilly at night and Jack Frost visited, leaving a beautiful glisten for the morning.

We left to do the scenic drive and spot Petroglyphs. Everything was dried by the warm fall sun by the time we came back around 10am to pack up. We then hit the dinosaur quarry which was SO COOL!

Right next to A10 is the Riverside trail. It's a short walk to a flush toilet with warm water. Always a plus when fall camping!

Sure, slightly pricey with the park fee and the campsite fee combined, but a stunning site. Just make sure to hang out on the river banks for the sunset. Or sunrise.

First come basis, but in October, I had my pick. Probably only 20% full. This trip was the final weekend it was open for the year. October is a perfect time to be here. 

Bathrooms are well lit and have flush toilets. Campground is well kept. Campsites have plenty of room.
