If you're looking for a weekend getaway filled with disappointment, mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds, and the soothing aroma of overflowing dumpsters--look no further. Green River State Park is your destination. First off, the "lush green" in the name must be a cruel joke. The only green I saw was algae in the stagnant water and the mold in the barely-functioning restrooms. Speaking of which, the bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned since Y2K, and the smell could knock out a raccoon. The campsites? Good luck sleeping--trains roll through blaring their horns at all hours like they're in some kind of horror movie. Bottom line: I've had more fun at the DMV. Save your money, your time, and your sanity. Go literally anywhere else. Only plus was shade trees and warm shower. read more

I booked a site for one night ($53, site #39), kind of expensive but nice to have a shower. Disappointed because this park is right in town, train noise, odd to have a golf course, lots of green grass -- but beware -- sprinklers go on 5 days a week at 10 AM, so if you pitched a tent (other than weekends), you have to move your tent every day or it gets wet. The main problem for me was the two very bright lights on the bathroom building that shown all night right on my site. read more

One of the cleanest, most beautiful camping spots we've ever stayed at.! The restrooms were kept so clean and they had Accommodations in the showers for handicap. Utah has outdone themselves with this campground, every spot has electrical and water, hook ups, beautiful trees, and covered picnic tables. Their proximity to Arches NP, Canyonlands NP and Capitol Red NP as well as dead horse point and goblin state parks makes it a great place to stay we will definitely be returning. read more

After long day on the road, had booked this spot as a short one night stay. Arrived in somewhat late about an hour before sun down. First of all, very limited signage as to which way was where on the roads. I eventually found the marked spot and proceeded to back in. This was ridiculously tight spot for what they said would fit a 30 foot RV. Anyway, I had no option but to drive on the grass and slowly back in. Complicating matters was a huge tree on one side of the site that was leaning deeply into the road on one side and a huge boulder/rock on the other side. Seriously, WHY????? Anyway, after 5-10 minutes of easing in there, I realize (as others have pointed out) they put the hook ups on the wrong damn side of the campsite!! I confirmed later with my receipt this was considered a back in site for this size of RV. I can promise you, there is no way to back in without driving quite a ways onto the grass into another person's camp site to maneuver in there. And man it's treacherous given the trees and boulders on each side of the lot. So, anyway, to avoid going all night without my electrical hook up (end of June), I pulled back out, went back around and came back to pull in and park forward instead of backing in so I could access the electric. Swinging as wide as I could without hitting the boulder on the driver's side, I thought I was clear of the massive hanging trunk of a tree on the passenger side, but NO. As I pulled in, the trunk, scraped the top side of the RV which bent the awning and snapped off the cell booster mounted to the ladder. The awning was still usuable but eventually the fiberglass portion of the roof was starting to separate where the damage occurred. Clearly, given what other reviewers have said, they simply don't care about the people's property or safety in this park. I'm not sure if it's because it's owned by the state and thus a "state job" or what, but this was beyond negligent. At the very least, they should mark this site for tents or cut back the damn tree!! Not only is it a hazard for RV's, it will be a hazard in a severe lightning/wind storm one day and this lack of caring will not only destroy property but is likely to get somebody hurt. I really can't think of a positive thing to say about this place. Oh, and $53 for ONE NIGHT? I've stayed in many state parks for a quarter of the price (or less) with much better amenities and location that won't damage your vehicle due to negligence. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I'd rather stay in a Walmart parking lot. Safer and free without the headache! read more

Green River State Park - Seriously? WHY? - Campgrounds Near Me - Green River, Utah

Spacious, shaded, level concrete pad surrounded by well manicured grass. Beautiful site with a fire ring and picnic table. Our favorite so far. River very close but to muddy to fish. Check in Ranger was very nice. Site was easy to find and plenty of room. Saw a lot of people taking golf carts from their site to the adjacent golf course. Very convenient for golfers! We did get a no charge truck wash when leaving as the sprinklers were on and shooting over the exit road. LOL read more

We stopped here on the way back from Salt Lake City. It was chilly and not very crowded, but a nice place for a stopover. It's kinda surrounded by golf course, which is a little weird, but is clean, has large campsites. It's a short walk into town, so easy to do the prerequisite stop at Ray's for dinner. read more

If you are an oversized RV this is for you. If you are in a tent or a sensible minimalist then get ready to pay $35 to $50 (2 cars) for a handkerchief spot a 1/6th the size of what the RVs get. Your neighbors will be within arms distance from your tent and the cars driving nearby. If you can be self sufficient then head out to the surrounding desert for peace and quiet. And that's free read more

Beautiful setting but absolutely idiotic grounds keeper. I went there on Monday with my three year old grandson for his first time fishing. There's a pond near campsite 37 that's stocked. While we were walking to the pond from the parking lot we saw this guy turning on sprinklers that were hitting various campsites (and drenching a few tents). The grounds keeper seemed oblivious. Although nothing was biting it was a nice time fishing until the grounds keeper turn the sprinklers on us. Scared the heck out of my grandson and made this bear of a grand father pretty angry. He could see us clearly but like I said was oblivious. We quickly packed up, soaked and headed back to the truck. I spotted the grounds keeper and told him what an idiotic thing that he just did and his only excuse was "the sprinklers don't reach the pond". He did apologize but the trip was done. Next time we'll fish the river and stay clear of the campsites. read more

Great campground!  Big sites. Friendly rangers. Right next to the river.  Great access point for boats. Tip:  You can leave tour car there for a small fee if you take a trip on the river. Good for RV'S and camping. Tip: make sure the Rangers turn off the sprinklers. Restrooms are clean.  Showers are free even if a little worn.  The frizbee gold was a surprise! read more

Green River State Park - Group eating area - Campgrounds Near Me - Green River, Utah

if you're dragging a trailer behind your RV, you might not fit here. We are 65 feet and there's only a couple of places to park and we got a group spot with no water, no electric, no sewer. Basically paid $20 for a parking lot spot. It was noisy from the train and we left as soon as we found out a Group was showing up and camping right next to our rig... bye bye... anyway, the park is nice for most camping, but not for our big rig. The staff was nice and friendly, but I wouldn't choose this for our situation. read more

Wasn't planning to stay here, got smoked out at Grand Junction West RV park and wanted to find clear sir. 90 mins west and here we are. Silver lining as they say. Very happy to be here! Great park, nice sites with plenty of space between neighbors, green grassy areas and big shade trees! What find. There are other RV parks near here but they do not compare. Skip all of those and if they have availability stay here! And an added bonus is boat launch and 9 hole golf course too! read more

Green River State Park - Campgrounds Near Me - Green River, Utah

Beautiful, quiet, well kept. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars is because there's no place to go for a walk. There is a nice dock to fish and drop your kayak. Beautiful lake!! Not super close to the parks but close enough. Would go back! Near-by places to shop and eat! read more

Great little park & campground! I would recommend it. Three of us were travelling from Denver, Colorado to Vancouver, Canada in an RV and the Green River area seemed like a good place to stop for the first night. We didn't know anything about the park, just saw it on a map. It cost $20 for the night for the RV, which included electric hookup. The park is located right in the town of Green River and is very easy to find. We visited on a Friday night in early September and didn't have any trouble getting a site. In fact there were quite a few tenting & RV sites available. While the surrounding area of Utah is very dry and brown, this state park is very green and inviting. In fact, it is located right beside a golf course, along the Green River. On the plus side: + Free hot showers + On site caretaker + Nice large picnic tables + Well maintained + Close to the Interstate + Lots of shade + Has a group picnic area + Scenic location beside the Green River + Quiet location as it is a short distance away from the main street. On the negative side: - There is a railroad not far away across the river, but noise wasn't a problem. Only one train went by while we were there. Here's a map showing the park's location: http://static.stateparks.utah.gov/maps/grspoverview.png Park Brochure: http://static.stateparks.utah.gov/docs/GreenRiverBrochure.pdf read more

Four stars, because the State of Utah likes to charge an $8 convenience charge to reserve a spot online, bringing the grand total for one night of tent camping to $33. Highway robbery, that is. Just to be clear, I have zero problem paying $25 to camp - however, I do take offense to large, bogus "convenience" charges. Not a good way to welcome tourists to your state, or encourage them to come back, for that matter. Now for info on Green River State Park campgrounds. It is a small well maintained campground, with decent bathroom/shower facilities (hot water? Be still my heart!). For tent campers, the plush, green grass makes for quite a comfy cushion under the tent. Most of the campgrounds have electrical outlets, some have water spigots, too. Ours did not. The people who take care of this campground are very friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a nice stay. I must note that the proximity of the railroad tracks to the campground is close enough that passing trains in the night make quite a commotion. I heard about three total, and those train horns are quite loud. read more

We drove from Denver to Zion and stopped here for a night. The campground is very clean and spacious. The bathroom is great, well stock with toilet paper. Shower is big with hot water. Price for each site is between $16 - $20. Each site has a hook up. Located within the city limits of Green River, Utah, just off Interstate 70. There is no activities for this campground, no river or anything at all. This camp site is right next to the golf course, which is kind of weird. read more

We pulled into this campground at night after checking Woodalls which said last years rates were $15-20. We were shocked to discover the price had doubled to $30 per night! We spent less staying at an ocean view site on the southern Oregon coast with sewer and cable. Yes... cable TV at a state park. Here you only get electric and water. The high price compared with similarly equipped campgrounds might be a reason why the park was mostly empty on the Saturday night we pulled in. The bathrooms were clean and it is a nice park. It's just not worth $30 a night. We only stayed because we were tired and didn't feel like driving down the road to a private RV park where we would've had sewer and wifi for a few dollars more. read more

Had a great time at this park. Right on the Colorado River. Start your float here and float for days. Unfortunately, we stayed just the night. Could see ourselves coming back and staying a while. Great grass! Sounds odd, but if you camp.... you'll appreciate grass! read more

Nice place to crash for the night. Quiet, nice camp host, and free showers with your campsite!
