About

Lower Onion Creek Group Sites sit on the Colorado River amid the red-rock canyon country east of Moab, where the La Sal Mountains rise on the horizon. The developed area includes four campsites that accept both RVs and tents, and the group-designated sites (A, B and C) are set up for gatherings of 15 30 people each group site lists a maximum capacity of 30 people. Sites offer basic, campground-style amenities: sturdy picnic tables, metal fire grates, shade shelters and vault toilets, and a boat ramp sits close by for easy river launches.

Arnold T ★ 3 · Jun 2025
The campsite had a lot of loose trash left by previous campers. Other than that, everything was excellent.
Alex V ★ 4 · May 2025
The site itself is wonderful. Roomy, right by the confluence of the Colorado River and Onion Creek, private and clean. Five picnic tables and a larger shelter. Concrete fire pit, close to the very clean vault toilets. However, I reserved on rec.gov two nights and paid $308. My buddies were curious why I paid so much when the sign on the site said $50 per night. I am curious as well.
Dhruv K ★ 5 · Aug 2023
We stayed at a large group site that was amazing, easily of the best locations we've camped at. Right by the river with great views all around. Also right next to fisher towers, which was an awesome hike. Would recommend.
