Great location in the park
Really interesting sites within the rock formation area. Pit toilets, smooth gravel roads, with fire pit, bbq and picnic table at every site. Clean. Not super busy this time of year!

Beautiful location & Amazing views
I loved this campground! Our campsite was very large, had many accessible amenities and was not too far from the restrooms. Our site also had a few trails nearby to explore through all the beautiful boulders which was awesome. The only downside was that due to this same reason we had a ton of people walking through our campsite, even tho their were other ways to go around us, which was annoying. Something else to consider if you go in Winter or early spring, there is lots of wind, which makes it hard to do much outdoors while hanging out at camp. Other than that, nothing but great things to say!

Beautiful camping spot!
This was one of my most favorite camping spots I’ve ever been to. You are literally camping in between the beautiful rock formations and you are a stone throw away from the Arch. It is first come first serve, and $15 for a spot. I got there on a Monday around 10am and there were quite a few spots open, it’s a small campsite though so not very many spots. I put out a camping chair and a picnic blanket to claim my spot, went off hiking all day, and came back to it. The ranger usually comes by in the morning to collect payment is what the office said, and that’s what happened. Sites have fire pits, a standing grill, picnic table and there is recycling/garbage/restrooms at the entrance. I have AT&T and did not get cell service. Highly recommend this campground!
