Kings Bottom Campground — Hotel in Four Corners States

Just spent four nights here. We were in a walk-in far from the parking, which was nice. Pros: Gorgeous views, big trees offer some shade, and pretty quiet at night. Nice hikes within walking distance. Close to town if you need supplies or wifi. Cons: Lots of litter around, owing, I'm betting, to raccoons or other critters getting at people's stuff. Also noisy until about 10 p.m. because there's a big OHV (dune buggy)/dirt bike base down the road several miles. All the sites are close to the road. No potable water, but there's a creek behind the group campsite across the road with clear water you could use for washing, etc. And, of course, the Colorado River is steps away. No cell service in the campground but just drive five minutes toward town or climb a cliff and you're back on the grid. The river did have a bit of a sewer odor. These sites were going fast in April, and once we nabbed site 14 at 9 a.m. on the second morning of our visit (cus the first day we couldn't find a site anywhere and had to stay at the world's most overpriced Motel 6) we...

Great campsite on the Colorado river. We got a walk-in site as well as a normal drive in site. It’s first come first serve, but when we came at 8am, there were quite a few spots open (late April). If you are looking for a last minute spot, there’s a decent chance you can get something early in the morning. Most people left after 1 night or 2 and people leave their sites by 7-9am because they go explore the national parks etc.

Close to arches and Canyonlands. 5 minutes from Moab; it’s great having gas stations and food right there while still being out in nature!!

No water, no rv hookups, pit toilets with hand sanitizer, $20 a night. No shade at all in almost all the sites, and it gets hot in spring/summer in the morning and afternoon. The canyon walls block the sun in the evening, and it was lovely. You are quite close to your neighbors and there aren’t trees to dull the sound, so bring earplugs. We had noisy neighbors and there were a lot of ATVs driving by on the road.

To save your spot, leave something obviously in your site and pay the...

Some sites have plenty of shade; others have none. Most of the sites are quite close to a very busy, noisy road, making it difficult to sleep. It did quiet down after midnight. And should note that I was there on a weekend, and that stretch of road is access to off-roading areas so that may account for there being so much traffic. There is no potable water in any site. Finally, many sites are very close to the river's edge. Young children will need constant supervision. That may change as river volume decreases after the Spring runoff and the river recedes as summer approaches. And I should also note there are drive-in sites and walk-in sites. The walk-in sites are only for tents. And they will require you to carry all of your equipment several hundred feet from vehicle...
