Very nice campground—I was in loop C and got a nice site that had a lot of tree cover so it didn’t get extremely hot even though the high was 93. However, there are not a whole lot of camp sites in loop C that do have good tree cover, so I could see how that would impact peoples opinions. Flush toilets in loop C were small, but very clean. Will definitely stay again.

My son found this campground as we were planning our father-son trip for 2025. I like to travel with a kayak so that I can spend some early morning time alone floating along. And this is a great place to do that. We had a really great tent camp site relatively close to the bathrooms and not too far from the water itself. The people working the campsite were very friendly and very helpful. And the... My son found this campground as we were planning our father-son trip for 2025.

We had a really great tent camp site relatively close to the bathrooms and not too far from the water itself. The people working the campsite were very friendly and very helpful. And the campsite was very well maintained. It was nice to kind of find this little bit of an oasis in the middle of Utah. With excellent access to Moab and the surrounding areas, this served is a really great home base for several days while we explored the area.

This campground and the host are amazing! The views are spectacular, the amenities are clean, and the water is easy to get to even if you don't have a waterfront spot. Not to mention, we thought we reserved our spot over Memorial Day but had the wrong weekend & the host had a spot she saved for mistakes like that! We were so flustered & felt so bad about the confusion but she took such amazing car... This campground and the host are amazing!

We were so flustered & felt so bad about the confusion but she took such amazing care of us. We felt safe and were able to unplug here which is all I can ask of a campground and its host! 10/10 will be back again.

My husband is from a family whose main mode of travel in the United States for decades was by camping. He spontaneously said that our camping experience at the Green River Campground ranked 9 out of 10 according to his history. He and I stayed two nights, July 11 and 12, truck and tent camping, our gear in the back of his Tacoma fitted with a camper shell. Adventuresome for a couple who have reached their early 70's. The camp-hosting was exceptional, activites available in the evenings, and multiple friendly visits to check-in with us and other campers; the facilities were clean and handy---nearby bathroom with stalls (no shower) and electrical outlets. The site for the campground is scenic, an oasis of green along the Green River, surrounded by sunwashed deserty earth colors. A couple of big cottonwood trees provided invaluable shade as late afternoon turned into evening. Good stargazing! Dinosaur National Monument dinosaur quarry is located a short drive away. We consider this experience a highlight from our summer.

Beautiful campground! Big campfire rings, nice picnic table, flushable toilets, and Potable water. Plenty of shade and right near the river. Heard an owl the entire trip. Saw frogs at night and lizards during the day. Coyote crossed the road in front of us. Dinosaur exhibit, petroglyphs, and rocks were really cool!!! The stars gazing was incredible!! Camp host was very nice! Would highly recommend... Beautiful campground! Big campfire rings, nice picnic table, flushable toilets, and Potable water. Plenty of shade and right near the river.
