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.

Great location and access to onion creek. We had a noisy generator from another campsite and had to remind them of the 8am-8pm cutoff. Bathroom was pretty clean.

Such a beautiful campsite and a great location! We were launching a raft in the river the next morning, and we were directly across from the launch point.

I love this spot. No loud dust throwing utvs, had colorado river access, restrooms, located a mile from river road so it's very quiet and shade structures in group sites. Only issue is the wind but that's all over moab. It's my favorite spot, don't try and outbid me for my reservations;)

Lower Onion Creek is one of the best camping sites along the Colorado. It’s the only one that is well off the main road, so you get no car noise from UT-128. The main camping sites are first come first served, but groupsites A, B, and C are reservable. All groupsites have a shelter, and there is also a public day-use shelter along the river next to the parking lot. In my opinion, groupsite A is the best as it is the only one on the same side as the Colorado River, and has foliage and trees. Sites B and C have a parking lot between them and the river, and besides the shelter, there is no foliage or tree to protect from the hot sun. There are also river entry points in the parking area. It’s a great spot for tubing or SUPs, and the river is calm in this area. Small rapids further down river but would recommend life vests if tubing. You will need a permit for actual rafting, but no permit needed for tubing or SUPs.

Great clean campsite. The newer sun shade structures are beautiful and functional. Far from the road so no noise, and great dark sky.

This group site that we had was great. All of the sites are far enough from each other that you have some privacy, and the site was very large.

Great site, restrooms are primitive, but well maintained. Nice campsites, quiet at night.

Group C is a great site with ample parking. Stone’s throw from the river and an expansive field for kids to roam around in.

Cleanest bathrooms EVER!!! and directly across from a most excellent hike to F.Towers.

@SarahR896 · Camped on Mar 21, 2021 at Campsite #GB

This is a gorgeous campground. It's about 30 min from Moab but that means that it's not as crowded as the campgrounds closer in. The sites are well spaced. The group sites are especially nice.

@JimS664 · Camped on Mar 12, 2021 at Campsite #GC

Even in the crappy weather, this was still a great experience. Being able to move the picnic tables allowed us to set our tents up underneath the pavilion, helping us to stay dry.

@BillG501 · Camped on Oct 11, 2020 at Campsite #GC

the 2 things that would make LOC one of the jewel camp grounds in the system would be to but in more, lots more, speed reduction devices. Vehicles drive way to fast, and especially the big commercial rafting buses/oversized motor homes. The vehicle's excessive speed is dangerous to children/pedestrians and creates large amounts of dust. The other aspect is the lack of a minimal shade/weather cover over the tables in the individual sites.

@TheodoreB581 · Camped on Oct 1, 2020 at Campsite #GA

The site itself is nice but the management seems non existent. They didn't have a calendar posted so another group naturally assumed the site was available and setup camp. Thankfully they were agreeable to vacate when we showed up with proof of purchase but they had also already paid which sucks for them. Could have been avoided if the Bureau of Land Management was attentive but they clearly aren't. You can't even get in contact with someone by calling in regards to the site and the answering machine is full.

@dougp530 · Camped on Oct 6, 2019 at Campsite #GC

there is an open pit toilet DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CAMPSITE. How rediculouae is that. You should refund my money

@MaureenA831 · Camped on Jul 13, 2019 at Campsite #GA

our group reserved the site for sat. There was a commercial group at the site on Friday. Their group had many tents scattered over an area clearly marked "no camping". When noon came and went, the group did not leave. The clients were still on the river. The clients arrived back at camp around 1:00 pm. The group was then fed lunch, and proceeded to begin packing their tents. I spoke with the trip leader several times - he just keep saying they were leaving. They did not leave camp until 3:00 pm. I am positive their group size was well above the limit. This is also a for-profit company, and I am under the impression this is not allowed. We did not camp at the site due to the late hour and heat. I spoke with the BLM re this issue, I was told they have had many complaints about this particular group. I would also question whether commercial groups are given preference in the reservation system. All said, it was a terrible experience.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
