We are boondockers with a 25' popup and 25' truck. We checked this place out and didn't like it. Sites are cramped together with no privacy, and they were full on Friday in April at 11am. Wish we didn't waste time looking for a spot here.

We were so excited when we rolled up to gold Bar in early July. Beautiful vistas and Colorado River bed. But as of 5/6p we were chased inside our tent from the mosquitos. Nothing would stop them.

We were so excited when we rolled up to gold Bar in early July. Beautiful vistas and Colorado River bed. But as of 5/6p we were chased inside our tent from the mosquitos. Nothing would stop them. My entire family was eaten alive. Emphasis to rush out early the next morning for the same reason. Can be a little noisy from the trailhead across the street. It is 15 minutes to Arches.

This spot was easy to access just off a paved road. Most spots were taken by the evening. Large group camping area next to the Gold Bar had a Class C meetup but did not disturb us. It was very quiet in the evening morning. Some truck traffic due to the Potash plant. Great hiking near by to beautiful large arches. No cell coverage.

Looking for an off the grid night with a great hike next door? This is your spot. We stayed one night in early September. Right on a sleepy part of the Colorado this site will give you access to a great hike directly across the street. We stayed in a site along the road as you pull in. It didn’t have any shade but it was a late check in so it didn’t matter. The river sites are better if you can snag one. Pit toilets were pretty clean and all the sites are crushed gravel. The river sites have enough room for a tent or two and parking for a vehicle. The group sites are a little further down and seemed about the same but with a pavilion each. Each individual site has a picnic table and fire ring. Across the street is the trailhead for Corona arch and Keyhole arch. Two awesome short hikes to an amazing canyon. Both arches are well worth seeing and the hike is moderate to easy. No water or showers or cell service at site but you’ll see a ton of stars at night,

There are 8 campsites in this CG all dry camping and all have a table and fire ring/grill. Seven of the sites are back in up to about 35’ and site #4 is a pull up site that could handle just about any size rig. Sites 6&7 are good for 20-22’, #9 will accept any length and has a 50 step path to the table and fire ring. The area was was very clean. Pretty much all gravel. Our site was as level as they come. The highway is adjacent to the campground but there is little traffic and not much noise. No reservations, first come first serve. We stayed in #3 for 4 nights. Can’t beat the views. Just about 15 min to Moab, 45 min to the visitors center at Canyonlands NP and 12 min to the visitors center at Arches NP. There is a hiking trail across the road to Corona Arch (1.5 mi out and back) that is good. There are train tracks across the road but when they come by (very infrequent) its just a low hum and no whistle. Two other campers on Saturday night and one on Sunday night, none on Monday and two on Tuesday. There is a group campground (same name) just past this one and there were 2 groups there on the weekend. There are 4 group sites there and quite a bit of parking. The group sites are $20 a night minimum (or $5 per person). They do take reservations for the group sites and they post a calendar with the reservations to see what is available. There is a big dumpster for trash at the group CG. There are several pit toilets (very clean) between the two campgrounds. The Colorado river is right next to the campgrounds. Best 15 bucks ever for a campsite.
