Gold Bar group sites are located on the Colorado River with nearby access to national parks and the town of Moab. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the many recreation opportunities such as boat ramp access, hiking and biking trails, and four-wheel drive roads. Facilities include fire grates, picnic tables and vault toilets, while stunning views of the red rock canyons and mesas complete the experience.
Group areas have fire grates, picnic tables, vault toilets and sites A, B, and C have shade shelters. Site B has a hammock structure that can accomodate numerous hammocks. Site D does not have a shade shelter, but is ideal for groups with motorhomes. The group sites do not have water, dump stations or electric hook-ups. Trailer and RV Parking is limited as sites are meant for tent camping.
Scenic Highway 279 parallels the Colorado River. There are numerous opportunities for hiking, biking, rock climbing, and four-wheeling. Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and Dead Horse State Park are nearby as well as the Manti-La Sal National Forest and the La Sal Mountain Loop Road, which offer cooler temperatures.
