Kings Bottom Campground sits along the Colorado River just southwest of Moab, Utah. It offers 13 walk-in tent sites and 9-10 spur sites for tents and small RVs. Vault toilets are available, but there are no potable water, electrical hookups, or dump facilities on-site, so bring ample water and plan accordingly. The setting between towering canyon walls provides river views, but expect road noise and nearby activity.
✅ BOOK IF: You’re camping in a tent or small-RV and can bring water; you’re happy with river access and not chasing 5-star amenities. ❌ SKIP IF: You need large RV hookups, absolute quiet, or complete solitude.
