This KOA sits right on Potash Road about 4 miles from the Shafer Trail turnoff, making it a convenient base camp for exploring Canyonlands. The campground offers full hookups, tent sites, cabins, a swimming pool, camp store, and laundry facilities. Sites are mostly level gravel with some shade from cottonwoods along the river. The Colorado River runs right behind the property, and you can often spot rafters floating by. It gets busy during peak season, so reservations are recommended.
The campground is paved-road accessible but feels remote once you’re here. Cell service is decent, and the camp store stocks basics like ice, firewood, and snacks. It’s open year-round but can get muddy during spring snowmelt or summer thunderstorms. The pool is seasonal, typically open April through October.
