Kings Bottom Campground

Great campground next to the river. We stayed two nights with dogs at space 11 walk-in site. ****Beware!!! There are a gazillion goathead stickers and were awful on the pups feet. We ended up spending $160 on booties for the dogs so they could walk around the campsite and raided the local recycling bin for cardboard to lay down under the tent to prevent the stickers poking through. Expect lots of OHV traffic because you’re close to the road. Aside from that was beautiful.

Great for last-minute van camping so close to downtown Moab. No reservations needed. At least right now. Amazing camp host. No access to water but water views of the Colorado River. Super clean pit toilet. No cell service for T-Mobile.

Great campsite on the Colorado river. We got a walk-in site as well as a normal drive in site. It’s first come first serve, but when we came at 8am, there were quite a few spots open (late April). If you are looking for a last minute spot, there’s a decent chance you can get something early in the morning. Most people left after 1 night or 2 and people leave their sites by 7-9am because they go explore the national parks etc. Close to arches and Canyonlands. 5 minutes from Moab; it’s great having gas stations and food right there while still being out in nature!! No water, no rv hookups, pit toilets with hand sanitizer, $20 a night. No shade at all in almost all the sites, and it gets hot in spring/summer in the morning and afternoon. The canyon walls block the sun in the evening, and it was lovely. You are quite close to your neighbors and there aren’t trees to dull the sound, so bring earplugs. We had noisy neighbors and there were a lot of ATVs driving by on the road. To save your spot, leave something obviously in your site and pay the fee. Easy peasy.

Peaceful and beautiful. No mega ants at this one either. Nice people in the area. So silent and big open sky. Restroom stayed clean during our stay too.

We were told we got lucky to get a spot. There's a pretty consistent flow of people looking for camping in the area, you just have to time it right and be lucky. Not a lot of privacy, but very close to Moab and Arches. Spotty service with verizon.
