Dispersed Camping Outside of Moab - Sovereign Lands

This is now part of the UtahRaptor park, so it’s $15/night. I didn’t stay here, but I wouldn’t pay 15 bucks a night for such a desolate looking spot. There are better ones in the area. 

Super convenient location for visiting nearby Arches & Canyonlands National Parks, as well as Moab. Little to no natural shade available, so it does get hot during the afternoons. There are a plethora of spots to choose from, easy to find a place on Memorial Day weekend. GPS coordinates take you to the entrance, there are many offshoot roads to drive down from there. There is a short stretch of fairly deep sand near the entrance that can be a little bit sketchy. Roads are rough dirt and rock, higher clearance is needed the farther back you go. Went a couple of miles in a small 2WD pickup, but wouldn't recommend taking a sedan too far back. Some cell service in the area, porta-potties are available near the entrance. Nice view of the mountains. Would come camp here again.

I didn't get to go through the campsite sadly, I'm sure it's beautiful but I just wanted to pop on & let anyone driving in a car/possibly with their van know that you may need a 4x4 to pass. Sand got pretty deep at points & I didn't want to risk it. Be safe everyone & happy camping!

Great spot, only about a 20-25min drive to arches and Moab. I went in mid December and had no neighbors my entire visit. There are loads of spaces and beautiful views. Closer spots can still here the highway a bit but the further back the less noise

Coordinates take you to the entrance but the further you go back, the more private spots there are. We found a sweet cove near some green colored rocks and no one else was in sight. RVs could definitely get to the spots closer to the entrance but some decent ground clearance would be helpful for some spots further back

There’s a decent number of people here all summer. There’s always those that leave trash behind.

Unfortunately it’s $15, but there are plenty of places to camp! We showed up on Saturday of MDW and had 10+ open spots to choose from. There aren’t any trees for privacy or wind protection, but at least the spaces are relatively spread out so we couldn’t hear our neighbors and didn’t have to worry about our dog running over to them. Great location, it’s only 15 minutes north of Arches.

Stayed here one night in December. It was 14 degrees outside and this site was still pretty busy with other campers. Can only imagine how busy it gets in the busy season. Room for campers and RVs. Primitive camping.

Beautiful view of the mountains, only three other campers and I can only see one of them across the field. Porta potty at entrance to road in state park.

Easy access north of Moab. Lots of options for just about any type of rig. Portable Toilets and garbage disposal.

Nothing special but plenty of places to camp. No amenities except for occasional porta potties. Would stay again.

Quite busy when we arrived, finally finagled my way into a spot near the toilets. Really rough last couple hundred yards. Still got in with the 39' Cedar Creek.

What a pleasant surprise for these Senior Adult life time campers to pull into this campsite just outside of Moab! Beautiful, huge campsites that have a stunning view of the snow topped mountain range. We had reserved two nights, but loved it so much we moved sites so we could stay a third.

Lots of dispersed camping. Porta potties scattered throughout but no other amenities. Very busy on weekends.

Good not great views but lots of spots available. I recommend pulling off the main road and following some of the offshoots. Sometimes people block them unknowingly but they are lots of ways to get off the main artery and get some privacy.

Super easy to find, lots of spaces, but was pretty crowded nonetheless

Great spot outside of Moab, rolled in later and found a space. Portapotties are clean, had some loud neighbors but other than that it was good. First site I’ve ever disperse camped at.

A decent place to camp. Views are good but it was kind of tough to find a spot. No shade but there were very clean port-a-potties. Was able to get decent service on the mifi (Verizon) after driving around a bit, and it is a pretty quick drive to Arches.

Some folks seem to be living here for extended periods, so you'll see a good number of folks holding spots or around during the day.

The main road is nicely grated for a while. The pull offs can be extremely uneven. 4 wheel drive or tent camping recommended. There are a few sites flat enough for a rig but it was pretty full and few were available. Nice views and good proximity to national and state parks.

15 minutes from Arches and 30 minutes from Canyonlands. Portapotties were clean and tons of them. Decent amount of people but tons of room and didn’t even go far down the road

Exactly what it is. Off main road camping. Be careful some access roads are rough but depending on Rv very cool views and places to boondock

10 min drive to Arches. Very close to Canyonlands. Spent two nights here. Great views, we were there Memorial day weekend so it was really full. Easy to find a spot when we pulled in around 6pm but many people were still pulling in after 9 so we had some new neighbors. Great for a free spot. Vault toilet outhouses, T-Mobile service worked fine. No tables.

Awesome views and so many options for campers! We saw RVs and camper and and cats and vans and ATVs. There’s paths for everyone and lots of availability

Close to arches, canyonlands and dead horse. Nice for a free campground to have portapotties spread out along the road. People tended to share camp spots when I was there. Perfect for car camping but you may have some loud neighbors. Great place to stay near Moab with pretty views as well. Cant get better than free.

This Rd has a ton of free and open campsites. We got in pretty late around 930 on a Friday in May and we were still able to find a spot (just our car). There is no water, but there are port a pottys along the road every couple hundred feet. Pretty quiet except for off roaders getting rowdy. Definitely a great spot if you need one and have no other options

This was a last minute stay and it was packed! Took a few loops around to find a spot and was still surrounded by many neighbors. This is a great spot as there is such beautiful views and still got cell service with ATT

Take klondike bluff rd off of 191. Drive down the dirt road and there’s hundreds of sites along the road. 4wd recommended- there’s some rough spots especially after it rains. I did it in my front wheel drive SUV and was fine but the further down the road you go the worse it gets. Views are amazing& you can find spots with no neighbors. No bathrooms or trash cans- pack in pack out.

Very populated camp area but there is a lot of land so it doesn't feel too crowded.  If you go far down enough you'll see some nice boulders that the kids like to climb on.  Everyone there was friendly.

There was plenty of space for my short bus and it was close to a lot of OHV/mountain biking trails. The BLM backs up to Arches NP. I camped here for 2 weeks and met quite an assortment of people from all over with tons of different hobbies. Would come here again in a heartbeat.

It’s about 2 miles down from a convenient store and 12 minutes out from town (I’m sure if you drive a smaller rig, it’s under 10 minutes).

Super convenient for quick access to Arches National Park, with it being only 10 minutes away. Also close to Canyonlands National Park, as it is only 30 minutes away. Would highly recommend getting there no later than the mid afternoon so you can pick a good spot. The farther in you go, the better, as there will be people coming in all the way into the night. Set yourself up to where you restrict access for others to park right next to you, or you may have closer neighbors than you’d like.
