Amazing Views, great state park camping close to Moab, Arches, Canyonlands

We LOVED Dead Horse Point State Park. Reserved a site here for two nights to explore the park itself, as well as nearby Moab. We were lucky to get a reservation!! The sites were fairly private given the lack of trees, etc. Each site had a covered picnic table area and a pantry that locked shut. We made the mistake of leaving a styrofoam cooler out when we went hiking - the Ravens pecked it to shreds!!! Warning - don't leave ANYTHING out. We didn't see the signs warning of this until afterward, oops!

The sites have a level tent pad area, as well as a fire pit. Access to the rim trail around the canyon is right off the campground and is well worth the hike - beautiful views!! Bathrooms were clean and there was a dishwashing sink station at it as well which was handy. Each campsite had an electrical hookup. Seemed a mix of some RV's, campervans, and tents. Very quiet at night. The sunset was spectacular, and the night sky there was the most beautiful I have ever seen!! The dark desert skies and elevation on a clear night was just amazing. We sat out for hours around our campfire stargazing. Canyonlands is very close, and Moab/Arches is a pretty short drive. We were on a tight timeframe, so we only had time to explore Dead Horse Point itself after arriving from Bryce Canyon, and Moab/Arches the next day. I definitely want to come back out to explore Canyonlands, and will probably include a stop back at this park/campground!
