About
Bureau of Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management will implement an online reservation system for overnight camping on February 1, 2023, for the five campgrounds in the Rabbit Valley area of McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area. The recreation.gov online reservation system will help manage the increased popularity of the area and will ensure campsite availability prior to arrival.
“Since 2008, the BLM has seen a large increase in demand for campsites in Rabbit Valley,” said BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Alex Martin. “The online reservation system and additional developed sites will protect natural resources and ensure availability upon arrival.”
The camping fee is $20 per night plus a $8 transaction fee for each reservation. Approximately 50 percent of the sites in each campground will be available for online reservations on a six-month rolling window, with the rest of the sites available on a four-day rolling window to accommodate spontaneous trips. Camping in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area is limited to 7 nights per month.
Reservation Info
Visitors may make online reservations at www.recreation.gov or call 1-877-444-6777. Reservations can be made up to six months in advance or on-site using a mobile device. The Equestrian campground will be closed to the public from February through April each year to accommodate livestock operations

Now a fee area
This place was great when it was free. Now BLM is charging for sites and they must be reserved at recreation.gov
If you are traversing I-70, a good free option is off of 191 and 144 south of Crescent City. Huge free BLM area close to I-70.
Lovely open spaces
Quite close to the highway buy not disturbing. This was a popular spot for ATV and bikes but none when we were there. We loved the open spaces!
No camping where this GPS pin is
We stayed in this area for several nights on our way to/from Moab. It’s beautiful and open BUT there isn’t camping where this GPS pin is FYI. See the Jouflas campground for specifics of where we camped. As you enter the Rabbit Valley area there is a self registration station and board with rules etc. on the right. Road to the left leads to RV/Tent camping. Road straight ahead leads to Jouflas campground and then on to Knowles Overlook Campground. Roads were a bit rough but very drivable with most any car. Kokopelli road needs 4WD/High clearance and does not have camping. There are lots of signs indicating camping in designated sites only. Area is very clean and quiet. Lovely area to stay in.
