King's Bottom Campground

Hydrologic Outlook issued July 20 at 10:32AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT Anomalous moisture has become established across portions of eastern Utah and western Colorado. Scattered thunderstorms capable of producing heavy rain are expected this afternoon and early evening. Rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour will be possible with the stronger storms. These rates could lead to flash flooding and debris flows especially over steep terrain and recent burn scars. Also, rain over the past several days has lead to saturated soils, which increase the chances for excessive runoff. As a reminder: Keep an eye on our forecasts through the end of the week and stay tuned for updated hydrology alerts if visiting or if you reside below vulnerable terrain to flash flooding and/or debris flows. Storms across the west develop quickly, leaving little room for lead time in flashy terrain.
About
King's Bottom Campground is a Bureau of Land Management campground situated along the scenic Colorado River corridor, framed by massive red rock canyon walls. The 21 individual campsites offer a primitive camping experience with stunning river and canyon views just minutes from Moab. Eleven of the sites are designated walk-in tent-only, while the remaining sites accommodate tents and small RVs. The campground operates entirely on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Each site is limited to 10 people and two vehicles, and campers may stay up to 14 nights within any 30-day period. Sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, and the campground provides vault toilets and trash service. Potable water is not available, so campers must bring their own supply. The location is popular among outdoor enthusiasts due to its proximity to Moab's extensive network of hiking trails, mountain biking routes, and 4WD/UTV roads. The nearby Moab Rim Trailhead provides direct access to iconic desert terrain.
Directions
From the center of Moab (Center St. & Main St.), head south to Kane Creek Road (between Burger King and McDonald's). Turn right (west) on Kane Creek Road. At the stop sign, continue straight and drive 2 miles. The campground will be on your right, just past the Moab Rim Trailhead.
