Goose Island Campground, nestled along the stunning Colorado River just outside Moab, Utah, holds a special place in our hearts. My husband and I first stayed here in October 2020 for our honeymoon, and the experience was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by towering red rock cliffs, the peaceful flow of the river, and a night sky bursting with stars, it felt like something out of a dream.
We loved it so much that we returned in July 2025--this time with our three-year-old daughter. While the summer heat was more intense, the beauty of the location remained just as awe-inspiring. It was incredible to watch our little one take in the same views that had captivated us years earlier.
Goose Island offers a mix of tent and RV sites, with basic amenities like restrooms and grills. It's not a luxury campground, but the scenery more than makes up for the simplicity. The proximity to both Arches National Park and downtown Moab is a huge plus. The campsites are not overly private but the beauty of the location makes up for that.
After two unforgettable visits, I can confidently say: we're not done yet. Goose Island has become a tradition for our family, and we're already looking forward to our next trip. read more
