BLM Dubinky Road Dispersed Camping

Off Dubinky Road, this dispersed camping area sits on a ridge overlooking the valley below, about 15 miles from campgrounds around Moab. The sandy two-track access road leads to multiple camping spots spread across the hilltop, with some sites positioned right at the canyon's edge. BLM regulations require campers to use only designated areas marked with "camp ok" posts to protect the biological soil crust.

The elevated position provides expansive views but comes with trade-offs. Allen P. notes there are "no trees or shade" across the camping area. Cell coverage proves spotty, though the open sky works well for satellite internet connections. Weekend crowds can make the area feel cramped, with campers reporting up to 10 rigs occupying the hilltop sites during busy periods.

Access varies depending on which section campers choose. The main straight section fills up first, but additional sites branch off along Dubinky Road itself. Some access spurs involve rocky, rough terrain that requires careful navigation for RVs and trailers. The area serves as a convenient base camp, sitting roughly 20 minutes from Arches National Park and 25-30 minutes from Canyonlands. Nearby options include Big Mesa Area and Lone Mesa Dispersed Camping for campers seeking alternatives along the same road system.

Visitors often highlighted stunning canyon views and spacious primitive sites accessible via rough roads. Many mentioned the convenient location near Arches and Canyonlands parks, though noise from neighbors can vary significantly.

Good spot but LOUD

This was a great spot just outside both Arches (about 20 mins) and Canyonlands (about 25-30 mins). There are lots of spots for RV and tent. The end of the straight part of the road was full so we went left around the curve and then right on Dubinky road and there is maybe 7-8 more spots. The only issue was our neighbors were SO loud. Partying all night and running UTVs and a powered paragliding set just about 24/7. Not sure if we just got unlucky with neighbors or what. Great spot though and hopefully it’s not always that noisy. Worth the stay for us reguardless

Busy, but great spot

Short dirt road in. Turn before Dubinky well road, and there are many spots up on the top of the hill. We were the first ones there, and by dark we had probably 8-10 neighbors. Quiet though,and close to the main road.

Great spot but can get a little cramped

Beautiful spot on a ridge above an expensive valley with beautiful views. Room for several rigs, but it can get a little bit cramped on a busy weekend. Spotty cell coverage, but clear sky for Starlink. No trees or shade.

BLM Dubinky Road Dispersed

This is the first official dispersed camping pod cluster on the Dubinky Well Road. It is on a small hill and sites seem ok for TTs but recon first is advised. Access spur is a sandy two track road. Some access roads are very rocky and rough. No cell signal in these dispersed areas. BLM special camping rules in effect, camp only in areas with a camp ok post, and poop mgmt is required.

Solitude!

If you keep going down this road (road curves to the left just past lone mesa campground), and drive to the end of the road, there are a ton of open campsites. A lot are right on the edge of the canyon and a good amount of space between each site. 100% primitive so please be conscientious of your waste. Make sure to only camp in spots with designated rings as to preserve the biological soil crust!

Amazing views!

We stayed at the campground not the group sites (which is about a 3/4 mile further down the road). The views were just breathtaking!!! We stayed 3 nights and for 2 we were the only ones there. The road is rough getting back but it’s worth the drive. I would definitely come back and recommend this to others!!
