Also, note that the creek's flow is variable throughout the year) We are just 2 blocks off of the Main street, close to shopping, restaurants and the bike/walking path. We are a self check-in, (no onsite office), tent-only, walk-in only (park and walk in), campground. (No cars in camp, no camping in parking lot allowed.) Sites are primarily on sand.

No exceptions! Nature and The Environment: This is the desert! We have rocks, sand, dirt, sun, heat, cold, rain, wind, etc. Most campgrounds in the city area of Moab have the same desert aspects as we do; the difference is our close proximity to downtown.

Location was right in town, and very close to Arches National Park. Bathrooms were very clean. Showers with hot water was great. It did get very windy so we had to abandon but besides the wind the camp site was great.

I think this is a great little tent only campground right inside town! Price was pretty good, especially considering nearby hotel rates. Within walking distance to anything you'd want to walk to. Bathroom facilities were pretty good. I can only speak for the men's side. 2 shower stalls, 2 toilet stalls, 2 sinks, nice seating bench in the middle to help change clothes. I think with the room they have it is set up pretty well. My only realistic suggestion would be to make the toilet stall doors taller (never fun when someone looks over the tops at you while you're vulnerable). A small gripe. I would totally stay here again, and I would recommend this place to a friend.
