We stayed here for two days after picking up our new travel trailer as our first test run.

My first impression is that this is a well designed park with nice amenities. With a mini putting green, oversized outdoor chess and checker set and beanbag court, there was some fun things for me to do with my kiddo. Sites are neat, utilities laid out well, and everything is clean and tidy. WiFi worked really well too. There is also a pool, but it was a little chilly for that.

This campground is very close to downtown Moab as well as Arches NP, which is where we spent a full day.

For newbies like us, a few considerations: sites slope downhill ever so slightly, so be prepared to try and level your rig. Also, the spaces are close together with narrow entries, so we had to take our time pulling our 32’ TT through so we didn’t clip either side. But you can also chalk that up to inexperience.

Would definitely stay again!

Twelve level spots, many right along the Gipa River, shaded by large Cottonwood trees. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. I loved it here!

Although there is no phone or wifi, who need it when you have your own hot springs to bask in? The three pools are cute, clean and have a natural look to them. Clothing optional after dark, so if you are there with a young family keep that in mind.

Both Potatoe Patch and Mingus Campground sites were full by Friday at around 5PM in early October. We were told by the camp host we could go down Forest Service Rd 132 for dispersed camping. Before the road gets too steep, there are flat-ish sites off the dirt road. Even those were mostly taken, so we were able to double up with another camper at a site that was pretty large (and a pull through!).

It was incredibly beautiful, quiet and shaded with nice trees, though these primitive sites were very rocky and rutted.

I took a star off for not expanding sites at the other campgrounds. I do recommend, but get there early!
