A stretch of this length does require some preparations, so it looks like you will be camping out. Whether you're whitewater rafting
or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other spots. The wonderful Utah scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Green River have people coming here. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. You might have to settle for a hotel
a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
