Scenic busy October

We found this spot after a visit to Moab. Canyonlands National Park is such a treat and the Needles District is a quieter area at least for Fall Break. We rode electric bikes into the park and I wouldn’t recommend that if your bike isn’t equipped for rocky and bumpy roads and main road moves pretty fast with a small shoulder. Our camping spot was fantastic and somewhat removed from others although we could see other campers in every direction.

Hidden gem outside of the canyonlands

We found the dispersed camping spot by fluke after reading reviews of the hamburger rock BLM camp just down the road. Wow. What a gem.

Plenty of pullouts / drive in spots of big RVs and a heap of camping spots. We shared the space with 20 climbers who were climbing the mesas during the day. We have a 28ft RV and easily found a camp spot at 3pm on a Saturday. Road is gravel but very manageable/smooth -ish for a large RV.

Pullouts start from 200m off thr main road and continue as you head north past the formal hamburger rock campground. Stunning views of the stars and sunrise photo ops!

Can’t recommend enough.
