While Arches and Canyonlands were in the 90's, Buckboard was nice and cool, low 80's at the highest. The campsite was quiet and lots of space.

Great quiet spot in the trees. Was great to beat the heat and we had a great fire,

Wonderful campground! Huge sites. Gravel road. Lots of downed trees and cut up wood.

Great spot in the desert for a colder night and shadow. We enjoyed our night a lot.

Absolutely beautiful campground! Honestly one of my favorites I’ve visited. There were deer that passed through and grazed the field every day. The stream was serene; the trees incredible. I would definitely come back. The pit toilet was also pretty clean. There’s a lake nearby too! You can’t get better than this.

This is a beautiful park, small and quite. We very much enjoyed our stay. Out site #6 was very steep, so we'll select a different site next visit.
If any work is scheduled for this park, site #6 needs to be dug into the hill more so that it is not so steep. It was really scary in our 5th wheel. We could not even come close to leveling the trailer.

Great, quiet campground in the mountains offered cool nights after hot days in the high desert! Sites are well-spaced apart.

Absolutely gorgeous campground with aspens and deers.
The driveway is a bit bumpy, but very doable.

Wonderful campground. Good separation between campsites, well maintained, easily accessible to many other attractions and national parks. At 8,700 feet, it was much cooler than the lower elevations around us in Utah. We had deer that frequently visited the campsite. We would definitely camp there again.

It is difficult to know what a campground will be like if you have never been there. We were unsure about the location and condition of this campground when we booked it. All other campgrounds close to Arches National Park and Moab were booked so we went farther away and found this one. We were so amazed when we arrived. It was absolutely beautiful. Shaded by aspen trees that were just turning color with clean and well kept toilets and fresh water availability. If you are going to Canyonlands National Park (South) this is the perfect place to stay especially if you are traveling South after your visit to Canyonlands or Arches. Thank you to the Forest Service for this little gem.

Campground was great for what it is. We had some noisy group campers the first night. The were quiet the other night. The stars were fantastic. We live in a city and we arrived after dark. It was completely pitch black. I couldn't even see my hand in front of me. You could see everything. It was amazing. It just has pit toilets and water spickets. We only stayed a couple nights so if you plan on wanting to shower and clean up you will need to figure that out. We paid for showers in Moab koa as we were there to see arches and canyonlands.

Amazing hidden campground and RV park. sites are not level and gravel doesn't make for good tents. location and solitude make up for it. Deer were next to campers evening and morning.

Beautiful forest, clean restrooms and well maintained roads.
