Nice campsites, but very little shade. Easy river access. Need to review which sites are shaded and good for tent camping versus sites that could be used by RVs without issue.
Excellent

Restroom facilities need to be updated 1 toilet for 10 campsites. Really hard to get business done.

This was our first trip to this campground. Like so many other campgrounds it is hard to judge what you are selecting based off of the pictures on the reservation site. So we made our reservation 6 months out because we were unsure of the demand for when we wanted to visit. We originally booked site 42 and it was baking in the afternoon sun. Site 30 is full shade and so much better if you are tent camping.We ended up staying in site 63 which is a first come first serve site. It had great shade but it had two other sites that were in the same opening and were really close.We probably wouldn't do more than an overnight here in the future because there isn't a lot to do in the park.On the day we arrive there were some campers that had a chair and their firewood stolen out of their site. Plus some of the RVs want to run their generators after quiet hours. Just be aware.

Beautiful. Great tent sites, lots of shade, uncrowded & clean bathrooms - at least the weekend we were there. Not terribly far from Vernal or Dinosaur NM visitor center. Highly recommended.

We stayed in #42b over a long Memorial Day weekend. The campground was mostly full the whole weekend. I had done some research on the best spots in Green River campground and I think we got a really good one. B is b loop, not too far or too close to the enterance, easy to get in and out and not busy with cars coming and going either. The site has a large 2 car tandem pad, plenty of room for our 4Runner and Cricket trailer. The site has a couple very large cottonwood trees providing lots of shade and a big rock the boys played cars on. Fire ring and picnic table were in good shape, the grasses were overgrown but not cumbersome. Easy short cut through to the bathrooms, they were clean but older, real toilets and sink with mirror. There was a water fountain outside with an additional faucet, trash was right there too. Firewood for sale as well. This was a great site in the Green River Campground and probably one of the better ones when compared to the other sites.

Heerlijke stop onderweg van Yellowstone naar Arches

A lovely, well maintained campground next to the Green River. The campground was kept picked up and clean. The highlight of Dinosaur National Park is of course the magnificent quarry building, but also enjoyable was Josie Morris's cabin and the nearby petroglyphs.

This is a great campground with wonderful hikes. The only problem we had was with a camper who ran a very noisy generator. There needs to be some regulation considering the noise some of these generators put out.
Good

Absolutely loved my time at this campground. Loved the location and great views. It was a quick drive up to the Visitor Center to take the shuttle to the Quarry. I wound up spending most of my day over on the Colorado side of the monument, doing the hikes in the canyons region of the park. That area is about a 30 minute drive from the green river campground, so I found it best to make a day of it there, then come back to Green River for dinner and to settle in for the night.

Getting a spot next to the river feels 10-15 degrees cooler than the center spots. It was great for tenting. We spent a lot of the afternoons playng on the edge of the river. On the trail between the camp grounds we saw as many as 6 deer in the morning have a drink in the river. It was really beautiful.

Men's bathroom was dirty; both men & women's had no soap. Aggressive chipmunks! Well situated sites.

Nice campground with beautiful views of the river and rock outcrops around Dinosaur NM. My husband and I camped there with our 2 person tent, and we appreciated the big cottonwood trees and shade. Many of the sites were large, and felt private. We tried finding sites away from RV's that have running generators. Bathrooms have running water and flush toilets, which is very nice. The river runs right by the campsite, and the campground is essentially on a point bar, so its not an ideal location if there is heavy rainfall or if river floods. The critters can be a nuisance, and the campground hosts will scold you if you do not put absolutely everything away (clean dishes must be put away in your car).
