My daughter and I are from Eastern Washington/North Idaho area (The Inland Northwest) so we had never really experienced a “real desert climate” before our trip. This was our first stop, and not knowing this area or what to expect, I booked a spot at Arches Campground. This place was really beautiful, and so different than anything I’ve ever seen. The campground is located in the Park, around the “main event” so our campsite was back up to the amazing red rocks that people come here to experience. There was also a covered picnic table and one of those iron BBQ’s that you find in public parks, and there was a water Spicket at the site.
There were also a couple of outhouses a short walk from the campsite. We loved exploring the park, and looking in the “caves”. The stars were so bright at night and we enjoyed taking photos of them the best we could. The park ranger was also very nice. I would recommend camping here because it is beautiful, quiet, and so unique and if someone needs a place that you know will have a space ready for your large vehicle/ camper and primitive amenities.
