Big Bend Campground nestles in the Colorado Riverway, surrounded by towering cliffs and rich riparian vegetation. Arches National Park is across the river, and the town of Moab is only ten miles away. The group sites offer the opportunity to camp next to the Colorado River, and to enjoy the many recreational possibilities that the Moab area has to offer.
