BLM Horsethief Group Campground

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

BLM Horsethief Group Campground, near Moab, Utah, is a solid choice for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors with friends or family. This campground offers a spacious setup with group sites that are perfect for gatherings, and you can expect some stunning sunsets, especially from site #16.

The area is known for its proximity to mountain biking trails, making it a popular spot for cyclists. Visitors have mentioned that the campground is a central hub for trails in all directions, so if you’re into biking, you’ll be in heaven. While there are vault toilets and dumpsters available, keep in mind that there’s no drinking water, so plan accordingly.

Campers appreciate the open layout, with sites spread apart and large awnings providing some shade over the tables. As one reviewer noted, “Looks like a nice place to camp with friends and go hiking and biking.” Just be prepared for the sun, as the lack of trees means you’ll want to bring your own shade if you’re camping in the warmer months.

With a laid-back vibe and a peaceful atmosphere, BLM Horsethief Group Campground is a great spot to unwind after a day of adventure. Whether you’re setting up a tent or parking your RV, you’ll find a welcoming space to enjoy the beauty of the Utah landscape.

Wide open no shade

These four group area camping options are in a circle out in a low brush opening. Each has a large metal shade awning and tables. Two vault toilets. Close to the Mt bike trail. However, the location is terrible..no trees or shade cover and tent spots are not developed well.

Peaceful..

I've camped here about 3-4 times. It's a great place to camp when you ride your bike around the White Rim trail in one day. the cliffs are amazing and the views are breathtaking. There isn't anything special, there are some bathrooms but other than that its good ol camping.
