Paid campground no showers

Its inside the park which is a plus. Its mostly shaded in the evening which is a huge plus in the summer. The bathrooms dont have showers is my only complaint. The views are amazing the river access is amazing . Thw sites are a little close together which is par for the course in these camp grounds. One loud family can really spoil things

Very nice

This group campground is very nice and located right next to the boat launch which is probably the most beautiful area in Dinosaur 🦕 Monument. Fantastic hiking and interpretive sites. Really really worth your time.

Beautiful!

    We visited for the day & tried to picnic here. This is the only picnic area on Cub Creek Road. This is odd because the picnic sites are intermingled with the group sites. It made no difference on June 6th, because the whole area was closed& employees were doing.....something. We ended up picnicking on the boat ramp with our lawn chairs & it was outstanding!

    I would recommend this campground on the basis of it's scenic beauty. It's primitive with no utilities. They state flush toilets, but we couldn't check that out. If I had a tent I would be all over this. Just remember, it's a group camp & you may have a lot of partying neighbors. We visited Split Mountain Group Campground, no overnight stay

Gorgeous autumn camping

Stayed here in mid October when the Green River site was closed-- campground was surprisingly full but felt nice and spaced out. Sites and bathrooms were clean and water was still on when I went. Ran the trail between the two campgrounds in the morning and the views were stunning. Thankful for a National Park that is (at least partially) dog friendly! Really loved the quarry wall exhibit as well-- would stay here again but think I would venture to one of the more remote camping sites to see more of the gorgeous landscape. Had decent signal with verizon.

Nice for the rafting groups

Group camps only, rafting boat ramp takeout is close by, seems this cg is best for the boater types before and after a float on the Green River. Reservations needed. Camp host onsite. $40.00 per site, per night when water is available (early April to mid or late October)Reduced fee ($6.00 per site, per night) when water is not available

Lovely - especially on the River

We spent a glorious 2 nights at one of the Western-most camping spots right with a private path to the river & a nice little swimming hole area. Our dog was in heaven! We enjoyed time on the beach and at the site. Be aware there are lots of ants around in the summer though! GREAT hikes from nearby trails. Don't miss the museum either!

GROUP CAMPSITES

SEPTEMBER 2020 This campsite is in the first few miles of Dinosaur National Monument along the Green River. It has 4 campsites but each campsite has three turnout parking areas that accommodate about 9-10 cars. The sites are $40 each and can be reserved online. I estimated each group site was about a football field of space. Each site has three fire rings and about 6 picnic tables. Each site is separated into 3 different sites. Most people who reserve online do not realize how much space they have even when they are here. There are public bathrooms with indoor plumbing including a sink, urinal, and toilet. There is clean running water available. No shower. There is a second bathroom under construction (we never heard noise from the construction). The two of us were traveling in one van and found the Green River campground (the other campground in DNM) was packed with people, and the sites too close together. So we bit the bullet and paid $40 for a group site here. It was such a large amount of space we wound up letting other travelers stay the night in the other two spaces in our site. Even with others “in our site” we still had about 10 times more space then if we stayed in the Green River Campground. The next three nights this campground was reserved. We asked another camper if we could stay one of their 3 spaces and they were more than happy to share the abundance of space. The night sky was magical. Lots of kids in this campground. Dogs allowed on leash. Walking distance to trails. Walking distance to a boat ramp where lot of rafters take off. A couple of miles from the DNM Quarry. Don’t miss the trails up to Hog Canyon and Box Canyon, trail head is at Josie Miller Cabin. Easy trails for all ages. Box canyon was incredible.

Beautiful, absolutely love

This is a great little campsite to enjoy after exploring the dinosaur quarry. Dogs are allowed on leashes. There is a creek that runs next to the camp site and easy hiking trails all around it. At night it is so dark you can see every star in the sky. The deer and sheep are very active at night which is very fun.

Group camping

this campground has a lot of wide open spaces for group campaigns but you lacked the tree coverage to do that it's also nice because it's right on the Green River so it is a spot where rafting boats come off just to know that.

Beautiful Area

This is a pretty open campground located right on the green river. There is a boat dock and a beachy area. All kinds of wildlife can be seen here; big horn sheep, cranes, elk, deer. You can also fish for various types of fish; catfish, carp, and pike. Very pretty area located down in the bottom of a canyon.

On the Green.

This campsite is in the middle of the Dinosaur National Monument on the green river. It is a small campground with a group site and some individual picnic / camp sites. There is a boat launch and this is commonly where the rafters either enter or exit a raft trip. The sites are small and the bathroom facilities are kept pretty clean. There are a several good hiking trails in the area including some with petroglyphs along the way. Lots of wildflowers and wildlife. The newly remodeled Dinosaur query is worth going through and is only about two miles away. The only problem I had with this site is making & paying for the reservations was a little difficult. Also there is a fee to get into the monument.
