Canyonlands Basecamp

Canyonlands Basecamp — A Quiet Backcountry Camping Retreat

Escape the crowds and settle into wide-open space at Canyonlands Basecamp — a peaceful RV and overland camping retreat just minutes from Monticello, Utah.

Located at the edge of the Abajo Mountains and bordering the Manti–La Sal National Forest, our property offers something increasingly hard to find near Canyonlands: quiet, space, and dark skies.

This is not a packed RV parking lot.

Our sites are intentionally spread out among pinyon pines, juniper, and sage, giving you room to breathe, relax, and enjoy the landscape.
