Individual Sites: 55 (limited to 10 people & two vehicles per site); Group Site: 1 (reservable); Water: No; Toilets: Yes; Hook-ups: No. (Note: this is a different recreation site from the "Horsethief Camp" located in the Needles, CA area).

TravelerGreat stay close to Canyonlands
Great BLM campsite near Canyonlands and Dead Horse. Plenty of spots available with good sized campsites with fire ring and picnic table. There is a tent only side which was great to not have noisy generator sound. Beautiful sunset views. Only downside - 3 black widow spiders seen in the pit toilets!!! Be aware before you sit!
TravelerIncredible location
We camped here as we were exploring Canyon Lands. Since it's BLM, all of the sites were first come first serve. It was a Friday night and there were still tons of sites available.
We got in and set up before sunset and got to watch the sky burn as the sun went down.
Host was very friendly and informative. Had firewood for sale for a few dollars a bundle as well.
Sites were well spaced out and had quite a bit of room for activities - tables, tent pads, fire pits. There were bathrooms on site as well.
I will for sure be coming back here. 10/10
ScoutGreat in between parks spot
Close to Canyonlands and Arches and perfect for our late night visit to Astro fest at Canyonlands!
