Excellent location walkable to Monicello Lake. Sites are spacious and well kept and vault toilets were very clean. Aspens surround every site. Highly recommend!
Gloria W ★ 5 · Sep 2025
Magical campground! Great location for visiting Canyonlands National Park Needles District.
Katherine M ★ 5 · Jul 2025
