Devils Canyon Campground sits in the Manti-LaSal National Forest of southeast Utah at the foot of the Abajo Mountains. There is water available seasonally from June to September.
Several miles of off-road vehicle trails crisscross the Abajo Mountains. The Camp Jackson/Wagon Wheel Trail can be accessed nearby. The Abajo Loop State Scenic Backway passes by the campground. It leads from the desert floor and red rock canyons to steep mountains over 10,000 feet high, with overlooks and panoramic views. The byway is suitable for passenger vehicles from late spring through fall but is not recommended for large RVs.
Ponderosa pines, pinyon pines and juniper cover the area, offering limited shade. The campground sits at an elevation of 7,400 feet, and summer temperatures are warm in the day and cool in the evening. Birds, squirrels, chipmunks, mule deer and black bear may be seen in the area.
Popular attractions in the area include Canyonlands, Arches and Mesa Verde National Parks, Dark Canyon Wilderness, Edge of the Cedars State Park, Lake Powell and numerous archaeological sites. Evening programs are provided at Edge of the Cedars Museum in Blanding. The San Juan County Fair is held annually in August in Monticello.

Just like the name says, there are some amazing views from this campground. They have lots of options, tent camping, RV spots, and cabins. My family stayed in one of the cabins on the cliff on our way up into Utah. The views were beautiful and unreal. They were a little pricy, but I’d say it was worth it for the scenery.
There are some really cool hikes in the area too. Definitely check out Goulding arch and wildcat trail. The slot canyons in the area are pretty cool to see. Also, there’s a lot of cool Native American history to learn about in the area. This was an awesome place to hang around in for a couple of days.

I stayed two nights on my road trip from El Paso to Provo. I wanted to explore southeastern Utah. Great campsite but a little far from Moab—about 60 miles. I’d probably stay closer to Moab next time even though it’s cooler and forested at the campground, which was peaceful. I reserved site 28 on Recreation.gov. I drove past several BLM and NF campgrounds en route to Canyonlands NP Needles unit through the NF road and then BLM land. As of Aug. 26, 2020 there was what looked like potable water from the spigot. I drank it fine. The bathrooms were clean. The Blanding Visitor Center guide recommended the Bulldog area for biking and wildlife, but I mainly saw cows down there and had a tough ride uphill.
LegendWe stopped here for a night on our way from Moab, Utah to Supai, Arizona. After a long evening of driving we decided to stop along highway 191 and found this easily accessible campground while looking on The Dyrt. We pulled in late at night but had no trouble finding a spot, it was actually quite empty considering it was a Friday night during the summer. The sites are large and well appointed, we had no trouble finding flat and shaded spots for our two tents. There was rain in the forecast so we chose a site that was a bit uphill, which served us well as a big storm hit and some of the lower sites did seem to get a bit muddy. The bathrooms here are very clean, and the campground as a whole was pretty spotless. We also got a discounted camping fee by using my annual national parks pass which was a nice surprise. I hope to come back again and explore the sorrounding areas, but I would also happily stay here again as a pit stop on a road trip.

Monticello is the ideal place to explore eastern Utah from. Everything is about an hour away. National Parks and monuments: Moab, Arches, Canyonlands, Hovenweep, Monument Valley, Canyons of the Ancients, even Mesa Verde is close. Moab is an hour away. Cortez, CO is an hour away if you need recreational, um, tobacco. It's also a lot less crowded than other places in the high season.
Old West RV Park, plunked down right in the middle of Monticello, is owned and run by "Big Jim," an avuncular trick shooter who regularly gives a show to the occupants of the 15 or so rigs that fit in his park.
Good Verizon coverage; the campground has wifi but it doesn't stretch out to the end. We were in space 12; Big Jim seemed to think it was not the best spot (no wifi), but we liked it because our door opened onto a view across the street instead of the side of another trailer.
The park will fit any size trailer if you can get one of the few pull-through spots. Other spaces, like ours, will fit pretty big trailers (ours is 25-ft) but you will have to unhitch and park next to your rig. There are full hookups and everything is in good order.
NOTE: the water pressure is quite high. They will lend you a pressure regulator for free or they will sell you one for $15.
We really enjoyed our four days here and would definitely visit again.

A quick visit. Pulled in late and no problems finding a level spot by the water.
TravelerEverything is in the title 😉 GPS point is not correct, we were looking for a small road but in fact it s at the end of the main road,on the right, just behind the park place. Here are our coordinates 37.666122, -109.442772 Well equipped with table and grill. Easy access to the water if the weather is good Beautiful view on the mountain Quiet despite the proximity with the road above
TravelerThis place was perfect I had access to trees and a big lake and no one around!
RangerDue to the lack of reviews we were unsure what we would be driving into. Upon arrival we noticed around half a dozen "sites" adjacent the reservoir. Most had a slight grade, but were overall fairly nice and clean. No Verizon service whatsoever, but we managed to regain service just up the road. Would stay again for a quick overnight before getting back on the road.
ScoutWe stopped here in the off-season. Very, very quiet with great views of lake and mountains.
TravelerWe decided not to stay. There were swarms of mosquitoes
ScoutMuch fuller and more crowded than 3 yrs ago when we visited. Took only place we found, closer to the dock and more traffic than preferred but still beautiful.
ScoutLarge site very close to the water. We paddle boarded in the reservoir and jumped off a few rocks. We stayed 2 nights.
ScoutWas quiet and convienent to the local town. No signal but there is some at the bottom of the entrance.
WARNING: if you don't have an off-road capable vehicle don't listen to the GPS, it took us down a super sketchy back road. If you're coming from the North, go further down and use Radio Hill Rd to access this site.
GuideNice, quite campground with lots of tent sites on Loop B. We rolled in at 8:45pm on a Thursday in June and had our choice of many wonderful sites. Paved parking, nice level tent pad, fire ring and cemented wooden picnic tables at every site we explored. We setled on #26 because of it’s proximity to the vault bathrooms and the water spigots. Had a nice suprize in the morning with the canyon behind us being full of deer. There is a dumpster near the exit so you don’t have to travel far with your trash. An added bonus is the short interpreted hike trailhead at the end if loop B. We will definitely stop here again!
ScoutPretty rustic with pit toliets, but big beautiful sites. Solitude, nature.
Scoutvery clean pIt toilets and well maintained campground. lots of good spots for tents with plenty of room and vegetation between providing privacy. as a solo woman traveler, it felt both safe and relatIvely quiet while not being too isolated. close to hwy 191 with a paved road throughout the campground.
TravelerVery nice Forest Service campground! Sites are private, large, and well spaced. Lots of nearby ATV trails. We were there in early May and it was largely empty the first few nights. Great place to explore. Our only complaint is that some sites have road noise from the highway.
Also FYI there is lots of available dispersed camping if you continue past the campground entrance.
TravelerWe stopped here on our way home to Durango. Asphalt sites made for easy setup, and each one looked to have a picnic table and fire ring. Sites are mostly far away from each other for privacy, and the camp is much bigger than it looks when you drive in. Price is 10 bucks, which is well worth it.
TravelerI'm not sure if the CG host ever came by, but our reserved site had our name on it, no problem, and all the sites seemed well spread out. There was an RV in a site across the paved access road, but the CG was not at all full and the only nearby noise came from an occasional vehicle entering or leaving the camping area. The area is open pine forest and the camping sites all sit above the main highway, US-191. We heard a few cars driving by during the night, but not many. I'd be happy to stay here again.
TravelerA nice respite after the crowds of the national monuments and parks. Quiet and sparsely used while we were here. A small amount of highway noise from 191 but very occasional. Deer wandering through in the evenings. Water spigots throughout campground allow for filling of water jugs. A few spaces for larger rigs and plenty for smaller rigs.
GuideGreat place right off the state route 191 going towards Moab from the south.
GuideStayed five days here. It was divided nicely between tents and RVs. That made it so the tent side was quieter. Vault toilet was very clean. Lots of wildlife in the area.
GuideGreat campground. Very clean and quiet when I was there. Vault toilets were clean. RVs well separated from tents, so that made it quieter (not hearing generators). Turkeys and deer in area. Supposedly there are bears, but I didn't see them. Decent cell coverage for Verizon.
GuideNice and quiet. Clean and well kept. Very nice campground host.
GuideCampground full so we stayed in BLM Grantsfaff in the river. Really hot but it is in June!
GuideIt may have been a fluke, but when we visited in July the place was mostly empty. Which was a bit surprising. The campgrounds were well spaced apart, clean and private. The campground hosts even gave recommendations for the best secluded spots. The only complaint we had was that the tent area wasn't exactly level, it had some uneven lumps and was on a grade, but it wasn't anything our camp pads couldn't deal with. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
ScoutBeautiful campground. About an hour south of Moab, but several nice Jeep trails just up the mountain from the campground. The showers are difficult to find (we ended up not using them). Supposedly you have to go to the gas station, pay $5 for the code to the RV park, and then shower there. Seemed a bit sketch. The description made it sound like the showers were free. Nice secluded spots, if you have a tent, look at the pictures first. Some spots don't have a good spot to set up a tent. Nice big picnic tables that are cemented to the ground.
