Green River KOA Journey

We had a short stay to recharge between our boondocking stays. Packages/mail are welcome to be sent here. Staff is very friendly, helpful & accommodating. Laundry facility is decent with adequate equipment, $2.00 per machine. The pool area looked decent but does not open until Memorial Day. Out site was a pull-thru with plenty of room for our 45’ DP & tow vehicle. Site is gravel/dirt & had plenty of room between sites, much more than a lot of KOA’s. Valet trash is offered daily.

Noise level was not an issue here. It is located where you can see the traffic on I-70 but not hear it & sits far enough back of the main road that there is very little noise.

The biggest issues with campground is its appearance & cost. The entire facility looks run down & landscaping is poor. Very little grass & a LOT of weeds! It also appears there are several dead trees throughout the park. The sewer connection at our site was not covered & I had to search for it within the weeds. We paid $75 per night. With the condition & location this is more of a $50 per night facility.

1. Arrived at 12:40pm, was told the new owners will not check in until exactly 1:00pm, so we had to sit in the parking lot until 1pm, even though checkout was at 11:00am.
2. Utilities were good, no issues and a very long site, all good.
3. Weeds, weeds, weeds everywhere and the sapling trees were barely surviving. Picnic tables were splintered and warped from the sun and in disrepair. The property had so many dead trees in various states of decay, a good wind would snap many of them, hopefully not on your RV.
4. Pool was clean and cool, very refreshing!
5. Children’s playground equipment was something from the 60’s or 70’s, all steel with chipped and peeling paint, I’m sure it would blister if touched in the heat of summer.
6. One camper even had a clothesline out drying all sorts of clothes, etc…..seriously??!….

It was obvious to us the new owners have nothing on their mind other than taking in the site fees, nothing on maintenance and upkeep of the park. Certainly a black eye for KOA.

There is plenty of staff and they were working on cleaning, landscaping, etc the whole time we where there. Clear that the ownership is keeping the park up and improving it.

Sites are really basic, just rocks and a small patch of astroturf. There are a lot of weeds in the rocks on half the park, with the of park being weed free. They were 'mowing' weeds with a trimmer when we were there. The trees are small and newish so not much shade at any site. Nice free pickleball courts.

Green River in general isn't that nice of a town, but is close to a lot of parks and this is a good base camp for going to parks.

We made a last minute stop here passing thru Utah. We planned on going on to CO but fatigue set it and we made an unplanned stop. I caught the office just before closing they had a spot big enough to accommodate us. Staff was friendly and helpful and the park was clean and neat. Site was level with shade and a picnic table. Roads and sites are gravel. Kamp K9 is something we always appreciate with our pooch.

We made a last minute trek out west and unfortunately all the RV parks in MOAB were full. That was okay though because we stayed here and really enjoyed our visit. This facility was clean and well maintained. Our site was on the east side of the grounds, had nice views and a good amount of space.

Trevor was excellent and provided great local experiences and day trips that many out of towners do not get to see. The day trips were really enjoyable and way less busy than the National Parks. Turned out Green River is a perfect central location for Goblin State Park, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, and many local spots.

Overall one of the better KOA experiences I have had.

We stayed here because Moab was all booked up. About a 45 min drive to Arches. Full hookups we’re fine but overall nothing to be excited about here. We were apprehensive about traveling away from our camper while boondocking (newbie paranoia) so stayed here to venture out for the weekend. Between this and boondocking at Klondike Bluffs we would choose boondocking every time. Obviously great for a stopover to have full hookups and clean your tanks but otherwise look at free camping locations in Moab if that’s your destination.
