The place

the agency’s own description · what’s there

In the agency’s own words

Campsites are located along the banks of the Colorado River looking across to the scenic sandstone "Entrada Bluffs" area. Individual sites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Three group sites are available for reservation through Recreation.gov . The campground accommodates tents and small RVs and offers quiet and shady sites. There is river access for small boats and the remains of the historic Dewey Bridge are nearby. Do not enter the river without the required life jackets; it has dangerous under currents. Kokopelli's Trail, a multiple-use trail from Loma, CO to Moab, is located nearby. Individual Sites: 8 Group Sites: 3 Fees: $20/night Water: No Toilets: Yes Hook-ups: No

Nothing to book, just show up

One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and a night costs $20 with nothing added. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.

recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($20), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.

How we know

every fact on this page, and where it came from
Right now: Bureau of Land Management publishes no season and no closure for this campground, and it takes no bookings we can read. That’s a gap in the record and not a locked gate: the number below is the only way to be sure.
Cell signal: the BLM’s own campground description, read as text by CAMPANAC. None of this is a measurement. It’s what the land manager published about the place, and phones, carriers and weather all disagree with each other; treat it as a warning, not a promise.
Nearest place of any size: La Sal, UT, 7.7 mi NNE (a census designated place). Straight line.
