About
Riverside camping for tents, RV's and trailers. Individual sites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Two reservable group sites are available through Recreation.gov. The campsites offer spectacular views of the Colorado River and the massive red rock cliffs of Arches National Park. This campground is very popular due to its proximity to Moab, its shade in the summer and the beautiful scenery. Typically fills in the morning, from March-October. (Do not enter the river without the required life jackets; it has dangerous under currents.)
Individual Sites: 20 (limited to 10 people & two vehicles per site)
