Goose Island Campground

Love this place! We go to Moab about every other year for a multi-day mountain biking excursion. I love that this place is next to town, next to the river, next to insane cliffs, next to the exit of the whole enchilada, next to Slick Rock! The campground is well maintained, though it has Vault toilets there kept clean. No running water, no electricity, of course. That's why we go there, to get away from all that! We floated the river and came out right at Camp one day.

The location is awesome. Your 1.5 miles from Moab main street turnoff. The views are beautiful. The smell and sounds are perfect. There are few shaded areas for tent camping. However, every night they have a river tour and they use a truck to light up the rock face for the boat tour. This truck drives slowly through the campground with stadium lights blasting through the camp site at .5 mph. Could've done without that.

Great site for large group of youth. Just a few min off the main road in Moab.

AMAZING!! this campsite was the highlight of our road trip. Sean was absolutely wonderful, he greeted us as soon as we pulled up to the campground and helped us find a spot for 3 days. We feel so blessed to get a spot right on the river with a gorgeous view and river access. We were in site 17 recommended by Sean, great spot! Thank you so much!!

Amazing campgrounds, easy to pay, right next to the river 15min away from canyonlands and like 3 min away from arches…. And the drive to get there if you coming from denver….. 👏👏👏 my god!! Moab is so pretty cant wait to be back

If you are lucky enough to get a spot here, it is totally worth it. Come around noon when everyone is checking out, but if you get there at 2 or later, there won't be any open spots. Though it is difficult to get a spot, the campground is quiet (you don't hear traffic from the road at all) and had we thought ahead the water would have been perfect for paddle boards. This is now one of my favorite primitive camp sites.

A great first-come, first-served campground. Arrive early to have any chance of getting a site. Clean pit toilets. Right on the river with a huge cliff on the other side. Bike path to Moab is about 4 miles.

We had a great experience at Goose Island Campground! We had a spot on the river side and there was good shade in the morning and starting late afternoon. The canyon is a beautiful setting and we found a path down to the river to put our feet in. Even though the sites are somewhat close together, there's enough trees in-between to make them feel private. Great base camp for taking day trips into Arches, Canyonlands, and Moab. Multiple pit toilets that were pretty clean.

This was the perfect location! Close to the town/ surrounding hikes and right on the Colorado river. We arrived around 11am on a Thursday and got a walk up camping site (there were a few still available). There are 2 outhouses, our bathroom was very clean and well kept. There is no running water/sinks but they provide hand sanitizer. We could see the colorado river, however not all camp sites have the most clear view of it. There is a nice biking/ walking trail that you can take either way from the campsite. Don't forget bug spray as there is a lot of mosquitoes. There was plenty of room in our site for 2-3 tents.
