Can be busy depending on the time of the year, and absolutely no cell service, but it is really incredible and well worth a stop/visit if you're hiking/climbing/mountain biking and exploring in Moab. Easy access to all the things and only a few minutes from downtown.} Check the BLM website for current status. Check in with the CG caretaker when you arrive.

A heavy rain turned the drive on 279 into a world of waterfalls. We were on our way to the Potash Ponds on a rainy day. If you are anywhere in the Grand Canyon, rain is a time to get out and observe not stay indoors.

Nice campground with lots of restrooms. Close to "wall-street" and other climbing walls. A number of nice arches hikes along Potash road.

Like the other reviews the mosquitos were sooo bad. We would have picked another site should we had known. (I didn’t read reviews lol) we were swarmed. We made dinner and had to eat it in the tent. I think they’re trying to keep them at bay because overnight a truck drove by and sprayed (were not positive but we believe this to be true). Gorgeous site though! Bathrooms were clean, not too busy.
