One more in the string of handy, heavily used campgrounds up the Colorado River on Utah 128 from Moab.
This one is past Drinks Canyon CG, and right before Big Bend CG. It's very small, 7 sites.
So named I think, because sites 6 and 7 re hidden away in a little grove of scrub oak.
Some ATT cellphone reception but not great.
Notes on each visit (posted cost • senior cost):
Site 2 appears to be the only one with a remotely level parking pad. It's also very pleasant. The giant butte across the river puts it in shade most of the afternoon, at least in October.
Sad to report that when the wind shifts a strong poop smell wafts over my picnic table. Even though the pit toilet is 50 yards away. Oh well ...
This whole string of campgrounds is basically a bedroom community for Moab, so even though it was quite lovely and peaceful till dark, it was very busy with headlights and door-slamming in the 8-10:30 range, i.e. after dinner in Moab.
