This campground totally deserves five stars; let me tell you why, and then I'll explain why I only gave it four.
OK, first - why it deserves five stars:
It's a really, really nice little campground, in a gorgeous little park: Dead Horse Point State Park. Don't be put off by the rather morbid name...this park has breathtaking scenery!! It's also right in between two other amazing parks: Canyonlands National Park, and Arches National Park, both less than 45 minutes away. The campsites all have patio covers with two HUGE picnic tables, charcoal BBQs, lights, and wooden cupboards, and one (or two, depending on the site) nice tent pads, and are interspersed with junipers and other pretty plant life. My wife and I are avid tent campers (sorry, but RVing is NOT camping in my humble opinion), but if you are an RVer the sites also have those electrical outlet thingys to plug your rig into, if I remember correctly. The campsites are able to be reserved months in advance, and are "site specific" (in other words, not only can your reserve a site, but YOU get to choose WHICH site to reserve). We saw lots of cool critters here too, including a cute little kit fox that trotted right through our site! There is a cool visitor's center/museum right near the campground and there are several short hikes to viewpoints overlooking the amazing, photos-don't-do-it-justice canyons.
OK, so why didn't I give it five stars then?
Well, when we were there the massive squadrons (there is no other term for it, really) of mosquitos were absolutely vicious! However, everyone...and I mean, EVERYONE...I spoke to from camp hosts, to rangers, to Moab locals, to fellow campers who'd been to this campground before swore up and down that "we've NEVER seen it this bad" and "it's the worst year for mosquitos we've ever experienced". Apparently, the nearby Colorado and/or Green Rivers had flooded just a few weeks prior to our visit and left lots of pools of standing water, hence mosquitoes. I guess we just had bad luck in timing our visit. Still, the campground and nearby parks were so nice that I'm looking forward to giving this place another try (with lots of bug repellant in my pack, of course!) so I can change this rating to 5 stars. read more
