About
Hittle Bottom Group Site sits on the banks of the Colorado River along scenic Highway 128, one of Utah's most spectacular drives. The group site is a popular staging area for river running trips and offers striking views of Fisher Towers, Professor Valley, and the red rock canyon walls that define this stretch of the Colorado River corridor. The campground is managed by the BLM Moab Field Office and accommodates groups of up to 30 people with parking for up to 20 vehicles. The site features a shade shelter, picnic tables, fire grates, and vault toilets. There is no potable water, dump station, or hookups, so campers must come prepared with their own water supply. A boat ramp is available in the adjacent main Hittle Bottom campground. The location provides easy access to hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing at Fisher Towers, and four-wheel drive trails along the Highway 128 corridor. Arches National Park is about 45 minutes away, and Canyonlands National Park is roughly an hour's drive.
Directions
From Moab, drive north to the junction with Highway 128. Drive 23 miles on Highway 128 to the entrance to Hittle Bottom campground. The group site is located on the north end of the campground, just past the main entrance.
