A very relaxing place to visit on the river. It is located in the Big Bend Campground. A day use (recreation) area with three parking places. A picnic table with grill and three park benches. Their are also two pit toilets. Plenty of shade. A nice place to have a picnic or enjoy the gentle breeze and fall colors.

It's a decent place to camp, 10 miles outside of Moab, river access, but daytime traffic not so pleasant 🤷‍♂️

Nice big spots. No garbage cans at this campground but the next one down has dumpsters. Beautiful location near the river. Incredible view of the night sky.
