Onion Creek Campground offers direct access to the Colorado River via two boat ramps at Lower Onion Creek and nearby Hittle Bottom, making it ideal for paddling and boating activities.

The BLM campground features individual sites ($20/night) and group sites ($125-$150/night) with vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, but no water or hookups—plan accordingly and bring all drinking water.

Located 22 miles east of Moab on Highway 128, the campground provides stunning red rock canyon views and serves as a base for whitewater rafting, though be aware of dangerous river undercurrents and seasonal flash flood hazards on nearby Onion Creek Road's 27 wash crossings.
