"User reviews highlight the campground's excellent location along the Colorado River and its proximity to Moab and Arches National Park. Many praised the views, the camp hosts, and the cleanliness of the sites. However, some expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of water facilities, the inconvenience of first-come, first-served availability, and specific disturbances such as ant infestations and nightly truck lights during boat tours."

Best Time to Camp at Goose Island Campground
Desert sunshine reigns supreme here, with summer temperatures soaring into the 90s and beyond, creating the perfect excuse for afternoon river dips. Desert winds sweep through the canyon, particularly during dramatic storm systems that paint the sky in spectacular fashion. While winter nights can plunge into bone-chilling cold, the magical shoulder seasons of spring and fall offer goldilocks conditions – warm days, cool nights, and weather that invites endless exploration.
Summers are very hot (90s+), windy with limited shade; river dips are risky due to undercurrents.
Fall is recommended for moderate temperatures and manageable crowds.
Spring recommended for moderate temps and good conditions near Arches and Moab.
Open year-round; winter visits are possible though cooler and less activity-driven.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: March to October.. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: Typically open year-round, though peak season is from March to October.
