Rabbit Valley

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.

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!

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.

The Rabbit Valley campground runs along a nice dirt road with 18 designated campsites in total. 

Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. 

There is a large group camping area for horse trailers and extra large RVs but most of the campsites we passed were big enough for large rigs and multiple campers. 

There are tons of trails in this area. They are made for everything from dirtbikes to horses to hikers. We were able to mountain bike all the way to the Colorado River from our campsite. 

This area is amazing for RVers and we will definitely be stopping here again someday.

Great place to rest for the night with a killer view. It was great that they had a bathroom here and plenty of open room to find a camping spot.

Came though around the 9th of April did want to travel was getting late at night use the app and found this site road was a little rough not to bad and found a great site almost immediately pitched a tent cooked dinner had a good night’s sleep got up next day had coffee love the scenery beautiful quiet

Roads are pretty typical of public lands.. go slow, but we got a space with a private campsite and fire ring with a killer view. And... it’s free so.. doesn’t get much better than that haha.

large campsites, had to share with someone else but there was plenty of space. beautiful view!

Plenty of areas for tent camping. But as for fifth wheels it’s not good.

Very secluded spot this time of year despite being relatively close to I-70. The camping spots farthest in are by far the best. Our perseverance definitely paid off.

This is a good, strong 4WD space only. There are some campsites closer to the highway, but if you are intrepid you can travel a little further down and really nestle into some rocks in a small canyon. This is all about having access to some of the best MTB trails in Colorado and Utah. 

Leave no trace.

There are free campsites all along this road, but make sure to get there early as it fills up quick!

My daughter and I camped here during Memorial Day weekend 2020. The campsite itself was very clean has fire pits and wonderful views! Getting to the campsite has some rough terrain. Great location, about an hour and a half from Moab, Utah which was our next destination. We were both impressed and will definitely camp here again.

We found a nice tucked away spot in a rock formation The roads are pretty rough, highly suggest an SUV or ATV. Gets hot in the summer, but beautiful views of the valley and river if you can find the way.

Extremely difficult to find a site at night and our little Honda Fit couldn’t really handle the terrain. But landscape is beautiful and we could not hear any cars from our campsite even though the high way is pretty close.

We took the 4 wheeler and had a blaet

We make motorcycle trips down there and there is so much access directly from your site. It can be hot in the summer, but it is a fun place to camp and explore!

A dirt road about a mile and half in leads to the camp area on this BLM land. The road is easy to drive on. There are no amenities here. Pack it in and out. I don't recall seeing any trash cans at the pit toilets that are at the trailhead. This trailhead is close to the highway, that you will pass on the way to the camping area. We have a self contained camper van and there were others like it there as well. But it looks like it would be easy enough for RVs too and of course tents. The area is open dotted with large trees. Free. Hiking, OHV trails nearby.

This area has many camp sites. We camped several times this winter and spring season. Amazing views and many site choices. Some nearby restroom facilities available as well. Remember this is a high desert area and no water available you must bring your own. Bring plenty.

We drove down anout 3 miles to knowles overlook campground overlooking the Colorado River. There are about six sites and a pit toilet, its free. So beautiful and peaceful. Only noise is the sound of the river and the train going by occasionally. Views are gorgeous. Lots of bike trails nearby as well. You take exit 2 off i-70 (Rabbit Valley exit) , go left to the McInnis Canyon area, at the first fork go right, at the second fork past the parking lot take a left, its about 2.8 miles down through pastures, rock formations and bike trails. Well worth the drive! Do the drive during the day so you dont get lost.

We once read at a museum Dinosaur bones have been found here in the past, so my toddler was 100% ready to explore these sites. Bumpy ride to get to sites but worth it to have views overlooking the river. Wind is intense during the spring but plenty of pinion trees to help block some of the wind. Bathrooms serviced regularly. Lots of ATVs but most respectful of quiet hours.

4x4 road leads to countless camp sites, some a few minutes off I-70, others very secluded and 30 minutes away from the highway. There are large group sites that can accommodate 20+ people.

Exit north of i25 and take the dirt road left, up, and then the first right on top of he mesa to camp on top of the world

We love staying here on our way into and out of Moab. It's only about 1.5 hours away but it has picnic tables, tent pads and toilets. There are tons of rocks to scramble out on and trails to bike. Sometimes it is noisy from dirt bikers, but usually not til about 10am. Also- it is really dark here, so you have great star gazing!

To get there, the exit off the highway is labeled Rabbit Valley. Drive south and stay straight along the dirt road. We got there in a 2wd car.

stumbled upon this great campground conveniently located off the 70. in spite of its proximity to a major highway, it is quiet and beautiful. a spectacular place to wake up.

Great spot for off roading, mountain biking, rock climbing, and hiking. We found a campground campsite, seemed like a great spot for a large group, free and had a bathroom. It was right between the two bigger campground off Rabbit Valley Rd. Bring water, it is desert camping, We went in March and had weather in the 70s. This spot also had a large rock formation with lines and anchors already set up for top rope rock climbing and bouldering. I would highley recommend high clearance to get here, though we did see some adventurous passenger cars. This is pretty far from a town so bring everything you need! There was a picnic table and fire pit.
