Solid option

Lots of campsites amongst the trees. Great views nearby. Cows grazing in the evening. There’s a sign that says to camp in designated sites with the tent sign, but I couldn’t find any signs. Camped anyway.

Amazing views

Convenient location near Canyonlands NP and Dead Horse Point SP. Beautiful views of the valley. We had a great sunset and sunrise. Primitive - no water or bathrooms Off a well maintained dirt road. You don’t need 4WD to access it.

BLM Land Outside of Arches

Incredible spot, perfect for multiple cars. Turn right at the lone mesa campground, keep going until you can turn right again, and then a bit down that road there were will spots with established fire rings all around. We found a loop covered by trees perfect for a large group, there were rocks to climb on, and nobody else near us. No amenities.
