About

Gold Bar Group Sites sit on the banks of the Colorado River inside the Moab Field Office's canyon country, where red-rock mesas and river-cut cliffs form the immediate backdrop. The area is popular with large groups school trips, family reunions and outfitters and the campground provides four group sites in total, each designed to accommodate both tents and RVs (though trailer and RV parking is limited and Site D is the most suitable if you plan to bring a motorhome). Site capacities and fees are: A (max 30) $150, B (max 30) $150, C (max 90) $250, and D (max 30) $130. Basic on-site amenities a…

I was not a fan of this campground for the amount of money paid. The neighboring campgrounds did not follow the quiet hours rule. The smell from the bathroom lingered to the tent area. The garbage cans were full when we arrived. Overall disappointed with my stay.
Jaclyn R ★ 1 · Jul 2025
We had planned to use this as a river takeout. Nothing indicates that isn’t possible. The river is 1/4 mile from the camp and the takeout was closed. Luckily, we took out in Moab, but we didn’t use our rather expensive camp. I do NOT recommend this camp!
James L ★ 1 · Jul 2025
When we arrived at our group site the dumpster was overflowing, the bathrooms were a mess with overflowing trash, the sign for our site was broken and laying on the ground and there was a mostly destroyed picknick table. We booked this site in advance only to find out that it's almost 1/3 the price if you show up and book it in person. The bottom line is we stayed our first night then left to find a site that was habitable.
