Campgrounds and RV parks near Green River, UT

Green River sits on Interstate 70 in eastern Utah, roughly halfway between Salt Lake City and Grand Junction, on the banks of its namesake river. The town works well as an RV base for trips into the San Rafael Swell to the west and the national parks to the east, including Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. Most campsites sit around 4,000 feet in elevation in high-desert terrain. Options in and around town range from full-hookup private parks to a state-park campground on the river. Green River State Park offers water and electric hookups, showers, and a boat ramp on the Green River, with cottonwood-shaded sites bordering a nine-hole golf course. Private parks such as Shady Acres RV Park, iCamp Green River, Green River KOA Journey, and Desert Moon Hotel and RV Park cluster near the I-70 interchange, making them practical stops for travelers moving through eastern Utah. Expect open desert sites at the private parks and shaded, grassy sites at the state park.

Green River State Park uses the Utah State Parks reservation system through ReserveAmerica, with sites released on a four-month rolling window. Bookings can be extended up to 13 days beyond the last date of the current window. Same-day reservations are handled by calling the park directly. Weekend sites in spring and fall fill early, so book as soon as the window opens. Private parks such as Green River KOA Journey, Shady Acres RV Park, iCamp Green River, and Desert Moon Hotel and RV Park take reservations directly through their own websites or phone lines. For float trips through Labyrinth Canyon, a free noncommercial river-trip permit is required. The permit form is downloaded from BLM.gov and emailed to the Moab BLM; there is no quota or lottery.
