Not fancy, but the services all worked quite well. The manager is very friendly and helpful. The rates are very low for today's world, with no mickey mouse charges for extra vehicles, pets, etc. Train tracks are very close, but you get used to the trains quickly - either there were none during the night, or we didn't hear them. We've used this park 3 times. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is run down,and looks like an old KOA. The pool behind the office is not kept, and is dirty, etc. There are very few trees, the ones it has are taken by people living there. Even for $20 full hookups, the regulars living there are scary. Go to the state park if even for one night and move on. The town has lots of closed businesses and is very run down. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV park is just down the street from Green River State Park. We went there because the State Park did not have full hookups. It is a great value @ $20/night including cable. It is an older park with mature trees and large sites. When passing through Green River it is a great place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice park. It's very green and pretty and the spots are well spaced. There were a few trains going by: I think we had about three trains during the night. Other than that, it was very nice and the camp host and rangers were very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
For a primitive campground it was very clean. No shade, but each site has a pavilion and wind breaker. A dump station and potable water is available. Pulled our 38-foot rig into our site without a problem. Nice tent sites are also available. The road construction leading to Goblin Valley, yielded some delays. There are no services available in area, so gas up and bring whatever you need. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful park with lots of scenery, great place for kids to scramble around all the Goblins. Sites are roomy and spaced well for the most part. They have no hook ups but water and a dump are available. Hike the Little Wild Horse Canyon which is nearby for a great slot canyon experience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Only a handful of sites large enough for a 30 ft class A and all of the sites are small and rather crowded together but are paved and have covered picnic table areas. No electric or showers but there is potable water at the dump station. We didn't care for the cramped and open nature of the campground but Goblin Valley has some interesting rock formations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This Utah State Park campground was a pleasant surprise. The location is incredibly beautiful and scenic. The campground is new and well maintained. There's limited services and it's in the middle of nowhere, but that's part of the attraction! There are plenty of hikes nearby and Goblin valley is nearby. There are even some goblins in the campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Some sites are closed due to winter weather, but the camp host was friendly and helped us find a full hookup site with cable TV and made sure we got set up O.K. This is a nice park. Good location. One hour to Moab Utah. Fifteen miles to Goblin Valley. Lots of services within walking distance, including a nice restaurant that gives campers a discount. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Like many of the parks I have been in since late August, this park was sparsely occupied. It has FHU, Wi-Fi, cable TV and a pool. Everything worked fine and we were able to enjoy the pool with just a handful of others. That's been a rarity on this trip. There were some trees and in this otherwise typical desert landscape. Sites were adequate sized. There was a decent restaurant at the park entrance and you can walk to the Green River. The main part of town is across the bridge over the river about half a mile. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The only reason I rated this park as high as a "5" is because the owner/manager(?) was so friendly and helpful. About 1/3 of the sites have a tree or any grass and those sites will not accommodate a 40' RV. 50 amp sites are pull throughs only and they are all dirt. Dirt roads and dirt sites. Not gravel! Even the sites with grass are with dirt pads. Wifi and satellite reception were excellent. Like many western states we were serenaded by trains throughout the night. For those of us without children driving further down the road may be a better option. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An oasis in the middle of the desert with green grass and shade trees at each site. It's next to Green River Golf course and Green River, both of which can be accessed from campground. Golf summer special: $20 all day with a cart. Played as much as I could for the time we were there. It's convenient to several National Parks. Watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melons are grown in area and can be purchased reasonably. The evenings cool down to 60-70 degrees, with daytimes in the 90's. Am going back next year for a couple of weeks of golf. We camped here in a Motorhome.
the grass has turned to weeds, and dying grass. It would be better to go total gravel in such a hot, dry place. The price is too expensive for the park, plus for the first time, I was charged for my pet. I will probably not come by here again, and will pick another park if we need to stop over in Green River. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The rate is after the Value Kard discount. Hosts were very friendly. This IS the desert folks. I would cost a fortune to keep more than a little grass green. They were constantly watering while I was there. All though there were a lot of families, kid noise was confined to the pool area. Wifi worked great. Slot was as level as most. I didn't have to unhook. Coffee is on any time. Continental breakfast from 8 to 10 am. Store is small but has necessaties. I will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
How well you like this park, depends on your site. If you want 50-AMPS and cable TV, you'll be in a small dirt area with no trees and sticker weeds. The site map was very confusing, and we had no help finding our space (although there was a young man running around in the golf cart, we were on our own). There are some very nice shaded areas, but they don't have full services. Wifi worked fine. Very small pet run by propane service tanks. We haven't tried other Green River parks, but this is purely an overnighter. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Near the highway, so there is highway noise. Our assigned site wasn't level so we moved to the next site over, which was. The pet walk area is about 5 feet by 15 feet long...not very pet friendly. Staff friendly. Some old beat-up units in campground, too...must have been monthly rentals. OK for an overnight stop, but wouldn't stay there for any length of time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice KOA near highway, and a great stopover. Friendly management, nice pool, and the rest rooms and showers were spotless. I shall definitely stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a nice KOA this is! Our pull thru was at least 80 feet long and about 50 feet wide!! Level, grass, shade trees, and a clean bath! Ed and Elaine, owners, were very friendly, as was Harley, their sweet beagle. They had free coffee and danish in the morning, which is a nice touch. This is probably the best KOA we've stayed in and we'll return!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice little park. Hard packed gravel roads and sites. Good WiFi reception and decent cable in some sites. The owners are in the process of upgrading more of the sites and improving the existing ones. Very nice folks running the place. Good eating right next door as well as close to the river walk. Our fiver is only 23 feet so we could leave it hooked up for our overnight stay. A major weekend destination so make reservations for Friday through Sunday during warmer months. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Other people have given this a poorer review based on the fact that it is in Green River Utah. You have to know that you are getting into before your get there. This area is very depressed, however you wouldn't know it if all you had to judge by was this KOA. Yes it is all gravel, but like concrete when you drive over it. They have 5- 50amp service sites that are long, which is a concern when you are 45' towing a 30' trailer. For a super small town KOA this place is immaculate with nice people. Remote, yes. Super access to I-70, yes. All services worked like a charm and we have been an plenty of places with no wWi-Fi or sat TV. No problem. I admit, not much grass, but we saw white tailed deer at sunset in a adjacent melon farm. Yes, Green River grows melons. Who knew! I don't have a way to fault people who are this friendly and offer gourmet beverages all day, along with extra goodies. These people are great. Just don't expect Green River to be something more than it is. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is without doubt the least attractive of any RV park we've stayed in – but, as one reviewer pointed out, this IS Green River. It is close to the interstate (I-70) and a good place for an overnight stop in a rather remote area. Sites are level, with a scant amount of grass in between, but the park's streets are sandy soil with little gravel. The water hook-up is quite close to the ground and could be a prime target for any passing dog. Staff is friendly and helpful. There is a truck stop a few blocks west and on the opposite site of the street (over river and more into town) with diesel prices significantly lower than those near the interstate. Wi-fi and cable TV are excellent. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice campground in Green River. This is a small town. The campground staff were very friendly. The kids had fun in the pool. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
First time here. Spent four days using it as a base for hiking. Owned/operated by a retired couple. He always wanted to own a KOA. Friendly folks. Free gourmet coffee and popcorn. But is is Green River. Not pretty to look at. Good place to stop overnight or for a base. Reliable WiFi which is important if still working. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not much to look at. Mostly gravel sites with very little shade. Recommended for over night only. I had a 30 AMP electrical connection that kept tripping the site's circuit breaker. Very hot here in July - over 100 degrees when we checked in. Had to put refrigerator and hot water heater on gas in order to keep a/c running without tripping the circuit breaker. Was told by owner/manager that this had never happened before - not very helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Prior reviews made us hesitant to stop here, but we're glad we did. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful - cable TV connections are odd and they provided a "loaner" cable extension. Pool was lots of fun for our grandson, with a water slide. Restaurant next door gives KOA campers a 10% discount. Our site was shaded and grassy as we could back in. However the hook-ups are at the front, so be sure to have an extension cord and long hose. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camp was OK for our needs,it was quiet and close to I-70, within driving distance to Arches & Canyonlands National Parks. Not much happening in the Green River area. Employees were friendly and accommodating, in what seemed to be a transistion into a KOA park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is being converted to a KOA park. The new owners are instituting the usual KOA add-on fees for cable TV, etc. We have been camping here for 30 years, and passed this year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New owners, not very polite. To busy talking on the phone to future sister in law. Called and made reservation but when we arrived she said she didn't take reservations and just ask for peoples names. Sandy level sights, not much grass. Needs a lot of TLC and it could be a very nice place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fine for an overnight stop but considered it just a little bit $$ for what it is. Easy in and out for our 30 ft class A, nice shade in a couple of sites. Dump station not particularly well situated but serviceable. Restrooms/showers were also fine. We camped here in a Motorhome.
No Hook-ups, but if you can work around that, a very nice park with a lot of grass and trees. Interior roads and pads all paved, and the site we had was very close to level. Nice concrete pads around the picnic tables. Some pull throughs and most of the back-ins seemed to have enough room to maneuver. Could be a bit hard to find your site if you arrive after dark. Fairly good separation between sites. Several live-in hosts. We would stay here again. Reserve America charges $8.00 for on line reservation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What a lovely find! Perfect after a long day's drive! Acres of grassy park like sites. There is a river! Yet, we were surprised! We couldn't wait to park, pull out the chairs and pour the wine. Breathe! Slept like babies. Even though there were no hook-ups, we were happy campers! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This state park has a golf course, and some of the RV sites look out at the course, or are near the river, which has a boat launch. Our site was a pull-through, huge and fairly level. We had tried a different site first but couldn't back into it with our 25-foot class A without hitting a nearby fence, so we moved. We gave this park a "10" because the space was so great after many nights in very tight private parks. The rate included an $8 reservation fee; drive-in rate is $16. We were there on a Friday night and the park was full. Very popular place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park with paved and level sites, grass and shade trees abound. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Although there are no hook-ups, water spigots are located throughout the park and a dump station is located near the park entrance/exit. If tenting, be advised that the lawn areas are watered regularly. The park is pet friendly. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A gorgeous RV park, located in the middle of a golf course ($10 to play) - watch for carts passing through! Grass, mature trees, lots of shade, a lot of room between sites. Roads and sites all paved. Most sites are quite long, there are a full pull throughs available. The roads are little tight for really long units. No services, but host says they are planning electric for some of the sites by the end of 2008. Although showing age (small holes in tiles, rickety shower doors), the bathrooms and showers are sparkling clean. Very pleasant, friendly hosts. Short walk to river access, docks and boat launch. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a lovely, no hook up state park located along I-70. The area is shaded by mature cottonwoods, the site driveways are mostly rather short and back-ins. The park is along the Green River and adjacent to a State golf course - a pretty 9-holer for about $10 per round. Lots of mosquitoes on the river side and deer flies, too - ouch! The showers and restrooms are clean, the staff friendly and usually the place is empty although the nearby group camp gets some action. Excellent break point between Richfield and Grand Junction Colorado and possibly as a base camp for rafting the Green River. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a place to stay overnight on the way to somewhere else...an older but adequate RV park. We didn't have water hookup because it was still winterized, but they did provide 1 winterized faucet we could use to fill our on board tank before going to site. The sites are mostly concrete level pads, but gravel and dirt was everywhere else. This would be pretty bad in the summer with the dust and wind!! Satellite signal was hard to acquire due to the trees around our site. You check in at the gas station/store in front of the RV park. The bathrooms were very clean, but pretty cold in March!! Verizon cell & card worked very well here, but the park's printed channel guide was not correct, and some channels had pretty fuzzy reception. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Above rate reflects 10% discount. Long and level pull through gravel sites, roads a little tight, free CATV, free WIFI that actually works!, grills and tables at each site. "Buy one get one free" coupon for Blimpie sub shop & discount coupon for filling station next door. Good power and utilities. This would be a good place to stay while visiting the local area if you could get a better rate by paying weekly or monthly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Shore Services: 50amp, sewer good, water 40 @ psi. WiFi: strong signal. AT&T cell phone: good signal. Sprint Air card: very good signal using Freedom antenna. Verizon Air card: very good signal using Freedom antenna. Cable TV was fair, many channels are snowy. Sites are solid, paved in gravel, may have some asphalt in it. Sites are long enough to park a tow vehicle in front with plenty of room around it. Sites are close with grass between. Awning does not touch neighbor but it's close. Roads are gravel with asphalt. The restrooms are nice and very clean. The laundry is large and open to the town's people. Washers are good and dryers use a quarter for 7 minutes. No long term tenants. Directv satellite had a good signal at end of site. Used Good Sams discount and paid with a credit card. No additional charges. This is a good park. Not great, but the site is level and long with a bit of grass between some. Better than the KOA down the road which is all dirt sites and roads but has grass between sites. Owner is nice, expected to be a grouch from previous reviews but this was not the case for me. Some shorter sites have concrete pad for the RV. Tow vehicles may not fit on the pad but fits in the sites. There is a great, small gravel dog run. One for large dogs and one for small dogs. This is a good park for the area. If you expect lots of grass: this entire area is dirt, sand and gravel. Hard to get grass to grow. I would stay here again if I come to this area again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It is just a place to stay while on the road but don't forget to visit the Powel museum, there are very nice people there, and be sure to check out the Green River Gyser. The campground desk lady seemed grouchy but the grounds were clean and very spacious. The store was convenient and great ice cream. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This RV park is basically just a place to stop on your way to somewhere else. It needs some ground maintenance. The free cable TV was marginal. There was free WI-FI. At the time of our visit they were in the process of putting in a nice size dog park. This is a real plus in my book. The office personnel was very pleasant. They had a large laundry facility and a RV and Car Wash next door. Lots of big trees for shade. I would stay here again if it was only for one night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was a stopover for us on a longer trip. I would have rated this campground higher had the site we had been level. Since the site was not level I had to disconnect for the night and spent a lot of extra time leveling our trailer which is not fun late at night after a long drive. The restrooms and showers were clean and the staff was friendly. Their fuel discount though is a joke, diesel was cheaper just up the road we found out. The nightly rate of $40 we paid was for two adults and three children including any taxes We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Not sure what bees were in the bonnets of the previous posters, but we found this to be a perfectly serviceable campground. We had wanted to stay at the Green River State Park (which is visible from Shady Acres) because we are state park people, but with no hookups and 103 degree temps, we opted for electric hookups. Shady Acres is between the state park and the KOA, so you can easily compare the 3. We liked the trees here, the enormous campground itself--very spacious. Our site was concrete (some are just gravel) and was level enough. Wifi worked GREAT, but we couldn't get cable TV to work. Folks at front very professional. Grass for the dog all over the place. You get coupons upon check in for the adjacent RV wash, fuel, and c-store, which is nice. We'll take 3 cents off a gallon of diesel, thank you very much. Restrooms, while old, were very clean. I'd stay here again on an overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here only because of very high winds all day. Owner was disinterested, seemed to care only about getting payment. Bordered on rudeness. Pull-thru site was concrete but short as truck stuck out in front. Sewer was way in front, had to pull up 8' to dump in a.m. Had a beat-up wooden picnic table in the gravel and stickers...not a blade of grass. Glad my dog was not with me. The good: was quiet at night since not on Interstate, but none of the parks in Green River are on the interstate. I thought it was way too pricey for that facility. Won't stay there again if don't have to. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground is like the town of Green River - it has seen better days. There is a depressing abandoned building and scattered junk adjacent to the property (I guess it's not their fault but it still ruins the atmosphere). The pet area is a dusty lot filled with goat head thorns. The bathrooms are oldish, but clean. Wi-Fi worked well. It worked fine as an overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a totally adequate RV park to stay at when either passing through or visiting the area, but it appears to have seen more prosperous times. It's kind of the typical place you'd expect to find in an out of the way area with little competition. The good points are that it has a fueling station, a convenience store, and a car/RV wash right on site. The office staff was very friendly. There were a few permanent residents living around the outskirts if the park, but they were friendly or just kept to themselves. The interior roads and site locations within this park have *the* most confusing layout I've ever encountered. After we arrived and found our spot (with some difficulty), we watched with interest as other arrivals got "lost" and resorted to getting out and walking around to look for their site. Pay close attention when you're given directions at the park office! When we stayed here there were maybe only 2 dozen rigs in the entire park, yet we found the voltage dangerously low at our site until later in the evening when things improved. Water pressure was only 43psi, which is a lower than we normally encounter at most parks. We never could get the Wi-Fi to work. Despite all that, we still wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It's almost in the middle of nowhere after all! (800) 537-8674 We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you find yourself in Green River needing an RV park, this one is probably the best choice. They have a lot of open sites and all are pull-thru. The sites are gravel and there are bits of shade. I think the price is high for what they have to offer but they know you're stuck in the middle of nowhere. Free WiFi. The day we were here there were only about 7 other rigs in the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very old park with dirt roads. I have a 45' rig and called ahead to make sure that they could accommodate a vehicle of that size. The turns were too sharp, and the trees were overgrown. My rig has new scratches thanks to these trees. The office staff (I think it was the owner) didn't want to be working, and it showed. She was less than cordial to the foreign tourists checking in ahead of me. The only redeeming feature to this park is that the Wi-Fi was very good. I think that in the future I would pick one of the other parks in Green River. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is somewhat unique in that, given its' location, it has amenities lacking at most campgrounds, i.e., adjacent to a golf course, allows dogs to be on a leash anywhere in the cg to do it's business, great wifi. It also is affiliated with a good size gas station and gives discounts on gas, a 2 for 1 deal at Blimpies, and others. Green River is a stopping point, not a destination, so the area is fairly dead. Still the campground does everything it can with what it has and is not a bad deal although it is more expensive than one would expect to pay for a site in the middle of nowhere. A warning to pet owners - grass burrs abound! I would not hesitate to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We actually liked this RV park. It had a nice person checking us in and the view of the mountain was beautiful. It has a basic, but fun playground and it was great to get out on the basketball court and shoot some hoops after a long day of traveling. There was a very bad storm over night and we did not experience any of the flooding a previous reviewer mentioned. They may have corrected that. The town is dead so it is more of a place to stay along your route than a destination resort. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has a few things going for it. Free WIFI that worked very well, even way at the back of the park were I was and cable TV. The site I had was also level. I think it is a bit pricey for the location, but if you are stopping between Denver and points west, this is a good place. I can't really say much else, dirt sites, brown grass (May) and the town is pretty much non-existent, don't look for walmart to stock up on supplies! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Priced a little high, although this is not a water front campground we had water outside our door. In fact most of the sites were flooded after a rain. That the sites had water after the rain was not bad but most of them were still holding water the next morning and all the utilities were in standing water. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground had a lot of fire ant hills, especially in the dog walk area. Naturally we were reluctant to use that area. We also had a fire ant hill almost next to our step. The trees did make it a bit difficult to get in and out of. We thought that the price was high, we were 3 adults and 1 baby. Probably would look for somewhere else if we were in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here several times in the past when going to or returning from trips out of State. In the past have been satisfied with the park as an overnight stop. Nothing has changed with the park, but I am afraid that they have priced themselves out of my business. The park is just not worth $35 for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Good overnight spot. Spaces are shady but a bit dusty. Restrooms were clean. Park is located next to a golf course. I will stay there again when passing through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our site wasn't level and was rather hard to get into due to trees. The other sites looked better. The grass (what there was of it) wasn't too well kept. Other than that, it was a fine RV park and fairly clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good overnight stop. Would have rated it higher, but for the lack of grass. Pretty dusty when we were
there. Definitely will use this park again when traveling through the area. We camped here in a camper.
