We love the area and tried this campsite when Goblin Valley State Park was full. This is a new favorite! Beautiful views, extremely quiet and during our stay there was only 1 other RV at the far end of the campground.
Carla F ★ 5 · Jun 2025
Nice and level in most sights. Vault toilets. Lots of fun around the area. Goblin State Park.
Bryan B ★ 5 · May 2025
Close sites but there is so much to do in the area that you aren't at the site most of the time anyways. There are fire rings and picnic tables.
