The town of Moab is approximately 15 minutes away and has dining, shopping, sports rentals, tour companies and museums. There is a boat ramp located at Gold Bar giving access to the Colorado River. The group sites are close to the trailhead for Corona Arch and numerous hiking and four-wheel drive roads. Both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are nearby. Group areas have fire grates, picnic tables and vault toilets, and sites A, B, and C have shade shelters. Site B has a hammock structure that can accommodate numerous hammocks. Site D does not have a shade shelter, but is ideal for groups with motorhomes. The group sites do not have water, dump stations or electric hook-ups, and trailer and RV parking is limited as sites are meant for tent camping. The group sites are located on the Colorado River and provide striking views of the red rock canyons and mesas. Scenic Highway 279 parallels the river, with numerous opportunities for hiking, biking, rock climbing, and four-wheeling. Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and Dead Horse State Park are nearby, as well as the Manti-La Sal National Forest and the La Sal Mountain Loop Road, which offer cooler temperatures.
