Granstaff Campground

This place was wonderful. Easy to find right off the 128 coming out of Moab. It is first come, first serve, $20 a night.
Each site is well marked , quite a bit of space from site to site. Fire ring, picnic tables at each site.
Camp host makes daily rounds, very friendly.
The views are incredible, sites are right along the river.
There is a great trail for hiking and another for biking right across the road.
We stayed a week, found the nights extremely quiet and dark, the skies filled with stars are amazing.
The cons would be no cell service.
This campground is for RVs/trailers no longer then 25ft max.
We have a 20ft trailer, we parked our truck right beside and still room.
There are more campgrounds further along that can accommodate longer rigs.

Get here early! We arrived around 4pm and got the last site available on a Sunday. Sites have picnic table, fire pit and tent pad. Pretty spacious sites, not too much privacy though. Vault toilets are the only amenity. Wind from the river can be strong- so tent campers be cautious! We had lost rafters hiking into our site from the river. Site is parallel to the road- surprisingly not too noisy however the lights from the cars can be bright at night (the site is at the bottom of the hill whereas the road is at the top which helps mitigate some of this). Nice hiking tail across the road and bike/running path if you are looking for some exploring without heading to Arches! But Arches is only 15 minutes away, so take advantage of it and go on a sunset drive!!

About 4 miles from 191. One gravel road which Parallels 128, about 15 feet lower on the River side with a turnaround at the end. Grandstaff canyon trail easily walkable from here.

Mostly tent campers. Goose Island, a couple miles down river had more trailers.

$20/ night. $10 with senior card. Site 12, had river access from our site. Camping on only the River side of the campground road. The sign says 24 feet max. Two vault toilets, no water electricity or sewage. Gravel parking spot with Picnic table and fire pit. Our site had room for our 26’ camper with our big pickup truck right next to it. There was also a tent area 15 x 15. Not all spots were as wide as ours. Some sites have shade, ours did not.

The scenery is fantastic with tall canyon walls on either side of the River probably about 1/10th of a mile apart. Lots of cool little lizards running around. Due to the high canyon walls the sun sets about an hour earlier. After the sun went away it went from hot to cool within 15 minutes.

t is a BLM campground first come first served. There was some road noise but that went away at night. We were there over a holiday weekend and we had people looking for open campsites all day long, sometimes in the middle of the night.

There is a truck with a HUGE light that illuminates the canyon walls at the same time every night for a River cruise. It’s kind of cool and only lasts a few minutes. Surprised us the first night.

No cell coverage with T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon.

Phenomenal campground, on the Colorado River, and short distance to both Moab and Arches National Park. Clean, spacious sites, with fire ring and picnic table. A bit close to the road so can be noisy with traffic but great viewing of mountain bikers coming off “The Whole Enchilada” trail as well as river recreation.

High demand so be prepared for multiple inquiries from interested customers the morning you depart.

Very beautiful spot in more of a secluded area than some of the other campgrounds nearby. Fills very quick but was lucky enough to snag a spot early Monday morning. My campsite couldn’t have been better. Had a clear path down to the river where you could walk over to an “island” and let the pups swim! No cell service but WHO CARES! Only 10 minutes into town and beautiful trails all around. 10/10 recommend and will be going back!

Right along UT128 but sunken down by the river so there is minimum road noise. Besides few folks travel UT128 after dark. The canyon walls are outstanding in the section. Very close to Moab. With Senior Pass just $19/night Like most BLM campgrounds, this one is maintained well

No cell coverage. Spot-X did work but took it awhile waiting for a Satellite to see into the canyon
