Good option close to Moab

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.

Dispersed camping right outside Arches

Dispersed BLM camping in the desert. Hardly any shade. Mostly RVs and other land yachts seen here camping. Would not recommend for the tent camping. Lots of peeps camping here for the off-road experience and dirt bike/mountain biking trails.

BLM Land, what else can ya ask for!

Free and open! It was a good place to rest our head. Nothing special. Lots of ATV’s and dirt bikers heading out pretty early so don’t expect to sleep in very long. Grateful for the land, thank you BLM!

Klondike South

Large dispersed campsites and appears to be several along the access road. The are primitive and some are a bit close to the highway but traffic does die down later in the night. Appears to go on for a ways so distancing from the road is possible. Road is a bit rough but saw several standard cars (think Camry) making it along if you take it slow. The sites will fit lots of vehicles if you are with a large party. Probably 20-30 yard circle of cleared area at the one I was at. It’s not much, and it doesn’t have services. It does however have decent service for Verizon so that was a plus. All in all it’s free and 10 minutes from the turn off to Canyon Lands NP so it met our needs.

The perfect free spot by arches

This is a free spot to camp with good space btwn you and the next people. The view of the stars since this is a dark sky reserve is unbeatable bc its in the middle of the desert. Its really close to the entrance for arches National park. The only con is lack of cover from wind and sun

Excellent spot for home base

Great free camping area with plenty of room for everyone, not a “Hey neighbor” spot. Got there in the dark and woke up to an amazing view and sunrise. Short drive to Moab, Arches, and Canyonlands.

Perfect spot outside of Moab

Stayed here for three nights and it was amazing. Nothing to complain about other than one pretty windy night but that’s Mother Nature for you.

Camel Trek - Night 13

Got here a little past dusk on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. As has been the case for much of our cross-country trip, arriving in the dark (provided you can find a spot) lends itself to some incredible surprise views when waking up in the morning. This place was no different!

Even though it was late November, there were still tons of people out occupying camps throughout the dispersed camping areas. I’d definitely recommend arriving early in the afternoon to nail down prime real estate.

Super convenient to Arches and Canyonlands NP’s.! There’s also a convenience store just a couple miles south of the pull off for this place.

Off the grid, free camping.

Our group was large and we found the perfect spot, outside of Canyonlands. We had an amazing time isolated from anyone else. We were about 25 min from downtown Moab and 15 min from the entrance to Canyonlands.

Great place with plenty of spaces to camp

This was an awesome place to camp. There are tons of spots to make your own little home for the night. Most spots have fire rings that have been made out of rocks by other campers or legit fire rings.

There are even port-a-potty’s that are clean.

We tent camped here in mid December and it was cold at night, but nothing too terrible if you have the right sleeping bags.

Bring your own firewood, because all that is around the area are juniper trees. Junipers take extremely long to grow, so please don’t use the branches to burn.

We loved this spot. It was quiet and great for us and our pup!

Willow Springs BLM is where it's at!

We love Willow Springs BLM camping. There are scattered porta potties on the western portion of the road and further back a couple of vault toilets. No water or electricity - this is free BLM camping. We tend to stay further west to maintain cell service and to avoid wear & tear on the RV. The further back you get the more rugged the road. At times it's wide open and other times it's packed full. Check online for a list of activities happening during your stay. There are lots of rallies, races, club get togethers, etc that affect how packed the BLM area is as well as town. We come for the mountain biking, hiking and proximity to Arches & Canyonlamds.

Better Moab experience

This is the best place to camp for Moab without paying because it’s more fun in the desert! Anything goes, just pack out what you bring in! I ride an adventure motorcycle so I can hit all the trails from here!

OMG the stars

Can't wait to go back. It was active, but we just grabbed the first spot we found. Perfect place to set up shop for the night. Close to Canyonlands Park where we were heading. Loved it.

Great location but crowded

Typical dispersed camping at a popular, busy location. Camped here when Arches NM was closed due to COVID. Lots of sites to choose from, many private, with trees or other shade. No amenities. OK cell service. Close to Moab and Arches and much more.

Lots of space

Plenty of open space and spots to choose from. Tons of access to mountain bike trails in the area as well. Fire bans were in place at the time through summer to Nov 1st. Make sure to only camp in designated spots, otherwise a busy place like this will be dust before you know it. Trash must be packed out, a few portable bathrooms throughout if you need it. Very close access to Arches and Moab, Dead Horse and Canyonlands not far either. A great free base camp.

Convenient

Right outside arches and close to canyon lands. Great place if you don’t have a reservation or get in late. Very dusty/sandy and windy! Idk if I’d stay here by choice unless I was just passing thru. Overall, a good place to stay!

Perfect spot for arches and canyonlands

We really loved this spot! Super busy but each site has more than enough room for actual privacy. Large enough for big rigs or small tents, and the roads in are very well kept considering the traffic it gets. A few dispersed porta potties if need be. Beautiful scenery and a quick drive to either of the parks or Moab

Free camping, busy sep-oct!

The road driving in is gravel and rocky but I have a 25 ft van with water tanks on the underside and I was totally fine (I always worry about bottoming out and I was fine). High clearance would be good if you want to go deep down into spots that are more rocky and sandy but if not you can find spots right along the road.

It is free, there are no designated spots for your rv. It’s kind of a free for all so if you don’t want someone to park next to you, set it up so you can have the most privacy. You can clearly see pull offs that are used

It was pretty quiet but very busy. If you come after 3pm a lot of the good spots are taken and then you have to squeeze in so get there early to grab a spot!!

Def will come back as it is completely free

Carry in carry out!!

So close to Arches National park

Finally a BLM road that I can actually camp on! I haven’t had the best luck with them from this app. But this road has so many camp spots. No shade, gravel road, lots of dust but wide open spaces and amazing star gazing! Decent T-Mobile reception.

Wow

high clearance vehicle recommended. Low clearance vehicles can access sights closer to highway. Lots of camping spots tucked away if you continue down the road. Cattle around but bothersome. gorgeous red rock!
