Wingate Campground — Dead Horse Point State Park

We had a great stay at Wingate campground. You can jump on a trailhead that goes out to dead horse point and the biking trails start at the visitors center and are amazing! Had electric and first night there were only 3 other campers! Utah does a great job with their state parks!

We stayed at Wingate for 3 days while exploring Moab, the arches national park and Canyon lands national park. This campground provides amazing views of the canyon on both east and west rim sides of the campground. Lots of hiking opportunities from your base camp. The campground is spotless and sites are flat and well maintained. We appreciated the small shelter provided with each site and worked great for us. We will definitely stay here again while exploring the area. Campground provides vault toilets as well as flush toilets. All are spotless. Bring plenty of water as campground has power only at your site. Cell service is poor at best so plan ahead.

Electric only campsite at Wingate campground but sites are spread out well and somewhat private. Site concrete pad and comes with covered pavilion on with table and firepit/grill. If you have pets, watch out for the sticker bushes as they are everywhere along with cacti. The sky at night is breathtaking. It’s like being at a planetarium. There are a number of walking trails from he campground that are all fairly easy and provide great views. No water here so bring your own. Nearest hospital and store are 30 minutes away.

Amazing place, little far if all your plan activities are in Moab, but definitely worth a night. Huge campsites, good privacy, clean. Negatives you’ll need to bring your own water if small tanks. Also no sewer at site.

This is a fantastic campground ! Only electric but the views are amazing!! They have covered picnic tables with wind screens…great clean bathroom, dishwashing station!!

No water. But the views at the park make up for it.

This state park is a great alternative if you have dogs. The views are essentially the same as canyon lands but less crowds highly recommend!

This is one of the nicest campgrounds we have stayed in. The sites were well groomed and very large. The campground was also very small, so without many people it was very quiet. It is only a short walk to very lovely views of the canyon, and some spots have a direct view. It was very windy while we were there, and there isn't a lot of protection from the wind (can't be helped) but something to keep in mind. There is a concrete pad in each site, with a picnic table on top, and an area in the corner with a pantry-like structure that could be used to store ... whatever might fit I guess. The bathrooms were very clean and there is a sink specifically to wash dishes, which was very nice. There is a lot of nice hiking you can do here, which is nice if you have a dog, because they aren't allowed in the National Park trails. We stayed here to visit both Arches and Canyonlands, the location was perfect.

Clean, quiet, and gorgeous views. Easy to access. The stars were amazing! Highly recommend staying here!

We love a little rustic at our campgrounds that make us feel like boondocking (with power), and this was it! Our 42 foot fifth wheel fit great, the wind breaker around the picnic table was perfect, and my son couldn't stop riding his bike in circles around the campground. You're in the state park, just minutes from the Visitor Center and the iconic Dead Horse Point overlook. Hit one of the trails from the campground, and find a canyon's edge of the west rim. We loved it here.

DID U CAMP NEAR LA SAL LOOP 8/12-8/16/21?? Did you hear or see anything?? Please review videos, pics, go pro’s 38.507019, -109.341093 (their campsite) Thank u!

Spectacular views, well kept campgrounds. Amazing rim hikes. Just outside Canyonlands National Park, if you can snag a spot...well worth making this your basecamp.

Very clean and well maintained campground. Spaces are not squished together and lots of bathrooms (both pit and flush). Deserted in winter ❤️

We love this campsite and visit twice a year, all the way from Florida

Great camping with plenty of space next to an amazing lookout point.

The cleanest campground I've ever been to, and everyone was very pleasant! I could tell even the picnic tables and shelters shading them were regularly cleaned which was really impressive.

We stayed here for one night. The starry night was breath taking. Bathrooms on site. Very quiet, family friendly. Sunrise was perfect.

Beautiful views, very quiet but very close together.

Just beautiful...short drive NW of Moab...threat ride up , went in Feb. only one other vehicle...the views are redixulous, go for Sunrise if able...

My favorite camping trip ever! I think it eats the Grand Canyon-no helicopters or crowds.

This is where I camped my last trip of the season, now I’m back for my first trip!
Lovely campground. Asphalt pads, that are level. If you’re just tent camping, you’ll see a spot for tents behind my camper. Each site has a fire ring and a covered picnic table.
The spotless bathrooms have flushing toilets and sinks with soap to wash your hands.
You’re up on a Mesa here. The stars are great...no light pollution here. Moab is about 26 miles away. Island in The Sky, part of Canyonlands NP, is 4 miles away.
I highly recommend this campsite! Bring lots of water, as it has to be trucked in from Moab.

Scenery is out of this world. Sites are a little close together, but we didn’t mind it since we were busy hiking most of the time anyway and it was super quiet and empty anyway. Great place to be in December - not too hot, very empty.

Large campsites and each campsite has a dedicated area for putting up a tent that is filled with soft red sand. Each campsite has A large shade and wind shelter with a metal camping bench in the middle. A fire pit with a grill to the side that is absolutely clean. No leftover ash from previous campfires.

This campground has super clean flush toilets and more importantly individual restrooms (not gender shared).

For RVs, most campsites have electrical hookups and some with very large pull throughs / driveways.

The campsite is a mile from the dead horse point overlook and you’re missing something special if you haven’t seen it. Lots of bicycle trails around as well. Fire wood can be bought at the park’s visitor center. No portable water so bring water with you before arriving.

We wanted a camping experience along our girls’ road trip without having to pack all the camping gear. The Wingate yurts were and are fantastic. They are perfectly appointed, clean, A/C is included, the mattresses are comfortable, there is a firepit and propane BBQ. The restrooms are nearby, they are extremely clean (plenty of toilet paper and hand soap), and have water/dish washing areas. No showers. It is a short hike on a trail from the yurts to Dead Horse point overlook. There is a store in the campground and the ranger station sells firewood. We utilized the site as home base to many attractions. Nearby is Moab, Arches, Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands, and more.

We stayed in the tent only Wingate spot #36. About 150yd hike in from parking spot. The actual campsite was excellent. Secluded and tucked into some trees with privacy from other sites. The tent pad fit two 4-person tents, with space off the pad for another one.

Only negative was by the tent only sites there was only vault toilets. The room was very clean but the ventilation was poor and the toilets was swarming with flies and was unusable (they would attack you going to the bathroom—traumatizing). Had to walk 300yds to use the flush toilets by the RV sites, which were great.

This campground was a close drive to Dead Horse Point overlook which is great for sunset. Easy quick drive to Canyonlands and Arches too.

We stayed here while visit Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. This setup is very nice with a great covered picnic table and grill, with a fire ring right next to it. Had a locker for supplies and a nice big pad for our tent. The bath facilities are extremely clean and the only thing missing is showers. The visitors center was great and staff was super friendly. The park itself is beautiful, and the sunsets and being out of Moab to see the Milkyway at night was amazing.

It was very windy while we were here so the camp shelter in each site was a life saver. The bathrooms were very clean and the dish washing station was a huge perk. This campground is very exposed so be prepared for it to be cold and windy. We unfortunately made the mistake of only checking the weather in Moab and didn’t pack enough warm clothes! Very little cell service. About a 2 min drive to the overlook. The park fee is included in your campground reservation cost. Overall it’s a beautiful campground and I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore deadhorse.

Dead Horse Point State Park has two clean campgrounds to choose from -Kayenta and Wingate. Neither one has necessarily had better views than the other one but we stayed in Kayenta. Shorts walks from either one will get you on the trail to many different lookout points and ultimately to Dead Horse Point, a view that overlooks the Colorado River. We watched the sunset from there. We didn’t use the facilities so can’t comment on those.

We stayed at the Wingate campground in Dead Horse Point State Park. We loved the proximity to the Rim Trail and the Schafer Canyon, minutes of waking from our walk-in tentsite, but that was often overshadowed by the stench of the vault toilets closest to those walk in sites. all the other areas of the campground had a flush toilet facility but our closest one emitted a smell that sometimes permeated our site and always stunk while we were at the car right next to it. Once you got inside the toilet stall, the smell was no longer an issue, but outside it was awful. The campground is accessible with a fairly short drive to Arches National Park.
