Gorgeous Views and Quiet Nights

You can't beat the scenery in Utah! Beautiful views of the mountains, clear open skies, trails and hiking options for beginners and avid hikers alike, close enough to Moab to visit but separated enough you can forget it's even there. Clean facilities and well kept sites, perfect place to get some distance but not TOO much!

Nice area right off town. Many people come heute to take a dip in the water. Can be muddy at times in the dry season but overall a nice place to camp. Very exposed unless you're lucky enough to catch a site by the trees.
