Beautiful Place to camp

The road wasn’t rough just a normal dirt road

But this was so pretty and quiet.

Rough road, but gorgeous

We were trying to find a place to sleep for the night and this worked, but the road was in really rough shape. We had to take it very slowly so it took about an hour to find an established site. We didn't make it all the way to the arch because that "road" was mostly giant rocks and we were renting our campervan. We drove past that turn and found a spot at 10:30pm. We woke up to the most amazing views! What a beautiful area, I wish we'd had more time to explore!

Amazing, quite, beautiful

Road up is a bit rough but easy. We camped down the road from natural arch. Huge campsite, multiple fire pits. Low traffic on the road. Would camp here again.

So quiet and beautiful!

The quietest place I've been. No insects, no wind, no birds.. just you and the milky way!

Mountain Desert Solitude

Stayed on a Friday night. Great site 3 miles off the main highway. Never saw another person. Great views of the mountains, cool rock features, and lots of cactus. Great easy stop for a night, but lots of red ants in the area make it less desirable to spend multiple days at camp.

Great BLM dispersed camping

Found a couple sites near the road headed into the arch. The area has many trails and other outdoor opportunities.
