Devils Garden Campground is located deep within the heart of beautiful Arches National Park in Southeastern Utah, at an elevation of approximately 5200 ft.. The campground is situated among natural sandstone arches and fins and is only 18 miles north of the park's entrance and 23 miles from Moab, Utah.
Hiking trails are abundant in Arches, including the Broken Arch Trail, a scenic loop with a trailhead conveniently located within the campground. Trails are varied and offer something for everyone, from the easy 0.3-mile loop around Balanced Rock to the steep and strenuous 3-mile round-trip trail to Delicate Arch. Other recreational activities in the park include guided hiking tours of the Fiery Furnace, an off-road vehicle route, road biking and picnicking.
The campground is forested with mixed stands of Utah juniper and pinyon pine. Flowering prickly pear cacti, yucca and other desert wildflowers dot the landscape, offering vivid color to the surrounding red rock desert. Arches National Park has the highest concentration of natural arches in the world. Over 2,500 of these unusual rock formations can be found here. Towering spires, fins and balanced rocks complement the arches, creating a remarkable assortment of landforms in a relatively small area. The park is within an arid, high desert environment with hot summers and cold winters.
Southeastern Utah offers breathtaking scenery, hiking, road and mountain biking opportunities, rafting and scenic driving routes. Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park are within a 45-minute drive of Arches' entrance. Moab offers numerous restaurants, shops and museums. The desert around Moab is a mountain biker's dream, with hundreds of miles of slickrock and single-track trails for all riding abilities.

Traveler
We went to Buckeye with six families and somewhere between 10 and 12 kids(The oldest being Nine years old) to celebrate one of the kiddo's 7th birthday. We camped at the group site, which was a big enough place for all of us. We had a mix of camp setups- including a Class B RV, a pop, a hybrid travel trailer, and three or four tents. There was a large common area with plenty of built-in picnic tables and a very large fire pit. All for only$50 a night! The lake was beautiful, and we fished, Sup’d, and swam in the refreshingly cold water.
There are some monster Rainbow Trout in the lake, and we had fun catching a few with the kids on fly rods, but there were a lot of other campers having good luck with spinner rods. The area also has a good mountain bike trail that us adults enjoyed. The Mtn bike ride starts and ends from the campground, taking you across the border into Utah and then swings back towards CO on a ridge that offers an incredible panorama of the lake and red rock cliffs. The trail is primarily double-track, and we bumped into a few ATVs along the way.
Overall, if you’re going with a large group, you 100% should book the group site, which is also separated from all the other single campsites.
We’ll be back! Buckeye is about a 2.5-hour drive from Telluride, where our group lives, and a 1.5-hour drive from Moab, UT.
Lastly, if you're looking to stay connected, there is no cell service or wifi(I have Verizon), although when we rode our bikes to the top of the ridge, I got two bars. You can also drive to the top of the hill in an offroad-capable vehicle if you need to make a call.

Guide
Stellar amenities, electricity at every pad, great showers, easy and very close river access.
Really great spot but prepare to roll. All of the tent pads seem to be at a pretty wicked slope, including ours.
Guide
Grand mesa is the largest mesa in the world. For over 150 years cattle have roamed here. They need to go. It is time. The diversity and wildlife will slowly be destroyed and it is exponential. The climate is changing and places like this need to to be protected they are our arks. No atvs no generators no cattle. Would improve.the place.ten fold. And absolutely no logging. Ban all fires! We are about to lose it all including Grand mesa. Wake up.
TravelerWe came from 6 nights in the mountains and spent 1 night in our rooftop tent on an electric river site. It was the perfect spot in Palisade. The bathhouse was very clean and convenient. One side of the building had men and women restrooms with showers. The other side had family bathrooms with one toilet, one shower, and one sink. The bathhouse was air conditioned which was very appreciated! It was hot out!!! While we were sitting around our firebox campfire, staff rolled up on a golf cart with fresh peaches to try that were picked that day. That was a nice surprise! We bought one for later in our trip!
Guide
We arrived last minute on memorial day weekend and were able to get a spot. Helpful hosts. Well maintained bathrooms. Kid friendly nighttime ranger talks in the amphitheater. Great starting point for several hikes
TravelerBeautiful and secluded, good facilities, great views!
GuideThe location is good since it by the wineries and the Colorado river but the sites are all all jammed in together with no trees. The bathrooms are really nice though. The Van sites have almost no space to put out an awning. The camp store is very limited and the hours are not good.
RangerWe still like this camp very much. But ranger says during summer and especially on weekends, this place is very, very full. So much they close off people coming. Beware if you like quiet camping after fall is best. Boating closes October 1 for bird migration. Geese winter here on frozen lake.
RangerWow. After miles of dry rocky gulches. Even the approach to the park is fairly dry looking. Then you arrive at the well wooded, green campground with green lawns.
Rv spots are level. Tents on nice green grass. Flush restrooms with showers and laundry.
Sites are well separated. Swim beach. Birding area.
Not completely full, but mostly so mid week September. 5G T-Mobile.
TravelerWe arrived in Arches and spent the day exploring. Devils Garden looked fully booked on the recreation.gov website, so we were planning on finding some BLM first come first serve spots nearby but decided to check with the campground host to see if they had any cancellations. The campground host found us an available spot that had opened up and it was perfect! He was so helpful, the campsite was spacious and clean, and they even had flush toilets nearby. Only thing to note is it does get cold at night, don’t let the warm temps during the day fool you! We stayed here late September and it got down to the low 50s/upper 40s. Overall, great campground and wonderful campground host. Would definitely stay at Devils Garden again. :)
ScoutEverything in this area is expensive. We were skeptical of tents at an RV park but they have a dedicated tent area that is right next to the river. The tent pad was big enough for one big and one small tent. The bathrooms are very clean and nice! We waded to the middle of the river and watched the sun set against a hill. Beautiful!
GuidePulled in after Crested Butte - mountain bikes in Loma area which was great. Headed to MOAB. Green, nice lake with a breeze.
ScoutTwo nights very last minute so on FF basis. Host was very helpful. Pitches were absolutely fine. Location was good as it’s in the park, only campground that is, so it’s highly sought after.
GuideThis is the Ravens home; we are just visitors. Seriously, don't sleep on the Ravens. They are always watching. This place is very hard to book for two nights in a row, so consider yourself lucky if you can live here for a couple days. It was quite nice. I think I saw only one or two other multi-night campers. This gives you the freedom to enjoy the park during less crowded time since it is right outside your door. Some sites are better suited for tents and some for RVs. I didn't have many expectations for this Park, but it is truly amazing and beautiful to explore. The La Sal mountains to the east are nice too.
GuideAbsolutely gorgeous place to live for a few days! We did daycamp on our site, but chose to leave our RV in town with services. It was fun to camp on the ground under the full moon though! Absolutely breathtaking skywatching experience. I hope the children always remember fondly - traveling in the heat of July gave the odds a 50/50 though... No electric, so bring solar or a generator.
GuideHere you're high up and amongst the beautiful sandstone formations of Arches National Park.
The campground: This is the only campground inside the National Park, and it is located at the very back of the Park. Be warned, traffic often backs up at the entrance to the National Park. Once inside the Park, the drive from the Visitor's Center to the campground can take between 30-60 minutes depending on traffic. Staying here is one of the best ways to explore the Park. There's a trailhead not far from the campground, and being able to wake up inside the park allows you to skip the entrance traffic and get a head start before the crowds flood in.
My campsite had a large concrete pad for parking, a picnic table, and a firepit. The area I set up my tent was dirt, but here that basically means sand. Be ready to have sand everywhere (totally worth it though). I had nightly deer visitors that enjoyed munching on the juniper nearby. The bathroom for my site was a 1-2 minute walk. The bathrooms consisted of flush toilets, sinks, a large outdoor sink for dishes, plus access to drinking water.
The area: If you're traveling from 70, there's not a ton between 70 and the entrance to Arches National Park, but Moab is only about ten minutes from the Park entrance. Arches National Park is vast. It has plenty of scenic spots to pull over on the drive between the entrance and the campground, and lots of different trails to hike with varying difficulty. Even if you're not a hiker you can still enjoy the beauty of this place.
Booking: I camped here in the offseason (November) when it's first-come first-served, and arrived on a day where there was no host. So, once I found my spot, I put my payment in an envelope found near the host entrance. It's worth noting that on days where there's no campground host or park ranger, you cannot buy firewood at the campground.
Cell service: Verizon was unreliable. Sometimes I would have enough service to stream a hockey game, and other times, in the exact same spot I'd have almost no service.
GuideWe got very lucky with a last minute spot but the park fills up quick and should book in advance. A great stay and easy access to all the beautiful spots in the park.
Traveler
7 sites with really only 2 that can accomadate a 15-20’ trailer, van, truck camper or SUV camping. 4 sites are in the grove of Gemel oaks an offer wonderful shade (4,5,6,7) with #4 right on the river. #1 has a fairly large area for tents. You can also park a van there but is campground is primarily great for tents.
GuideThe Staff is Happy! Located on the Colorado River. Winery’s & Distillery’s close by. Clean restrooms & laundry, a general store with just about everything you might have forgotten.
LegendGeneral: Sites ranging from tents to vans to full hookup RV to cabins. Be aware all of these options are quite pricey, ranging from $54 to$107 (not including cabins– I don’t know the price of these). We had originally reserved a site last year but had to cut our trip short; we had the option of forfeiting our money or rolling over our reservation to any date in the future, which was appreciated. We reserved our site at the end of January via e-mail and it was confirmed (and a site assigned) via phone in early February. However, when we arrived, our reservation confirmation was not waiting for us on the board with the others. There was no one at the office but Billy, a maintenance employee, was very helpful and told us we could just set up at the site that had been assigned to us.
Site Quality: Varies. In my opinion, the tent sites by the river (Site T7-9) are the best, but these are $67 per night. We were in Van Site 2 which has a short gravel driveway and lawn area, but the driveways between Van Sites 1 and 2 are so close together, that it would not be possible for both vans to have their doors open at the same time (and, of course, there would be zero privacy) Fortunately, no one was in the site next to us. Since van campers sleep (and sometimes cook, depending on the weather) inside their vans, it would have made sense to space the driveways apart with the grass area in between. Van Sites 5 and 6 mirror Sites 1 and 2. Van Sites 3 and 4 have more separation and would be more desirable but sites are assigned, not chosen. The RV sites are spaced a decent amount of distance apart.
Bathhouse: Was very clean with plenty of stalls and sinks. The door to the handicap stall was broken but I assume that will be fixed. The showers looked very clean as well, although I did not use them. The hooks are outside of the stall, which could compromise privacy. There is a vault toilet for the tent sites, although it would not be an undoable walk to the flush toilets.
Activities: There is a pool on site. There are nearby hikes listed on the website, but we did not stay long enough to check them out. Close to the small town of Palisade and the larger hubs of Grand Junction and Fruita. There are also nearby wineries.
Other: There is a laundry room and dishwashing sink, as well as a picnic pavilion. Note that the dishwashing sink was not located near the tent sites.
Although the facility was clean and well-maintained, the prices are high, and four of the van sites are too close together to make it enjoyable if all sites were occupied. Also, you will hear road noise from nearby I70 and a very loud train sometime in the middle of the night!
TravelerWe were the only Sprinter van there & really nice bathrooms. We came for a wine dinner at Maison le Belle Vie. Enjoyed the morning having coffee before departing for the Farmer’s market. Great wine, peaches & relaxing setting.
GuideThe First thing i can recommend is to visit here in an off month of weather even in October it can be hot and crowded though October is much milder when it comes to this place. There is nothing like the parks of Utah they are truly incredible and unmatched around the world. Arches is a land of extremes and its utterly stunning being the bottom of a ocean bed. I wish i could come back here every year. With it being a dark sky park the night time is just brilliant as the park is during the daytime.
TravelerStayed two nights in July, which was hot(!), especially because there is no shade at all. Got one of the best spots (river bluff); however no actual view of the river unless you walk down to it. A nice pool area and very nice bathrooms and showers (they even have family rooms which we appreciated a lot)! Nice and friendly staff. Be aware that it is truly bear country - saw one snacking around in the vineyard ;-) so remember to pack away your food.
ScoutA very nice camp ground for tent campers, very few people, beautiful scenes and within a very short distance of good hiking. Campground staff was helpful and we had a beautiful site right by the lake which is open to fishing and swimming. Be prepared to put a cover on your tent as intermittent thunderstorms come up out of no where. There is no cell service unless you go down route 65 a little more to the beautiful views of the valley.
LegendThis CG has two sections. The upper part is old school FS, narrow roads, small sites, lots of trees...not a good place for larger TYs or RVs. Best for tenters, Vans, small Class Cs. The lower section is much better for larger RVs and TT, lower cg area has less shade but closer to Ward lake. Vault toilets, trash and water spigots. $20/$10 senior. Run by a contract host. No cell signal and all sites are FF. Lower sites in sun are best for SL-RV
GuideStayed 3 nights in site 1. Nicely shaded with trees and green grass. Tree trunks spaced for hammock hanging. Lots to do with reservoirs and bike trails. The campground is a bit far away to carry kayaks to and from water.
