Kind of far from Moab. But still great views and cool history of the bridge. Quite a few big RVs around. River access if you want it but mostly daily runs of the Colorado are done from lower onion creek.

Landscape here is great! It definitely felt like a unique place in Utah. Being next to the Colorado River was also very cool. It was easy enough to find places for tents. It was dark enough to do some star gazing. The downside is that it's very close to popular road that we were often through out the night awaken by headlights and loud car engines. Also I am not sure were the rules were posted but... Landscape here is great! It definitely felt like a unique place in Utah. Being next to the Colorado River was also very cool.

They eventually left us alone. NO CELL SERVICE.

We were having a family reunion and needed a group site. We were having a hard time finding an open group site and ended up finding this one so we went with it. It's ok, not bad but not great. It is right off the road and right next to the Colorado River. The group sites are set up weird. We stayed at group site #2.

The group sites are set up weird. We stayed at group site #2. We weren't really sure how to park our trailers so that they wouldn't be in the road. Group site #1 is even worse. I have no idea where you would park a few trailers at this one. There is no easy way down to the river and I was concerned about the kids falling in the river. The campground is next to a off road trail so during the day the road was pretty busy with Jeeps and side by sides. So not very relaxing. During the night you could hear passing cars while sitting around the fire. We couldn't really hear them once in the trailer. There was no campground host. So people using the trails would park their cars and trailers in the campground which doesn't leave a lot of room on the road. The restroom is a vault and it is actually in a structure. Which if you know the campgrounds in the area a lot of them are just fenced in with no roof. So that is a plus. There is a pavilion covering the picnic tables but there isn't a lot of space between the parking and the river. It's about a 45 min drive one way into Moab. Over all we had a place to stay and we had a good time but I do not plan on staying here again.

It was beautiful and only $20. However the wind was bad for a while and there were biting flies so make sure you spray yourself down.

Back in the day, this was an amazing Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in Utah, now its a piece of History. It burned down because a young boy was playing with matches and started some brush on fire.
