Devils Garden Campground is located deep within the heart of beautiful Arches National Park in Southeastern Utah, at an elevation of approximately 5200 ft..

Hiking trails are abundant in Arches, including the Broken Arch Trail, a scenic loop with a trailhead conveniently located within the campground. Trails are varied and offer something for everyone, from the easy 0.3-mile loop around Balanced Rock to the steep and strenuous 3-mile round-trip trail to Delicate Arch. Other recreational activities in the park include guided hiking tours of the Fiery Furnace, an off-road vehicle route, road biking and picnicking.
The campground is forested with mixed stands of Utah juniper and pinyon pine. Flowering prickly pear cacti, yucca and other desert wildflowers dot the landscape, offering vivid color to the surrounding red rock desert. Arches National Park has the highest concentration of natural arches in the world. Over 2,500 of these unusual rock formations can be found here. Towering spires, fins and balanced rocks complement the arches, creating a remarkable assortment of landforms in a relatively small area. The park is within an arid, high desert environment with hot summers and cold winters.
Southeastern Utah offers breathtaking scenery, hiking, road and mountain biking opportunities, rafting and scenic driving routes. Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park are within a 45-minute drive of Arches' entrance. Moab offers numerous restaurants, shops and museums. The desert around Moab is a mountain biker's dream, with hundreds of miles of slickrock and single-track trails for all riding abilities.

The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands is responsible for the management of 829-acre Prairie Dog Haven Unit and the 4,350 Dalton Wells Unit in Grand County, Utah.
In 2015, the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands completed the Moab Exchange Lands Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP).

You must have an overnight permit for all overnight trips along the White Rim. Obtain permits here: https://www.recreation.gov/permits/4675315 Labyrinth has two designated campsites: Labyrinth A This small, very scenic site is composed mostly of packed, gravel dirt. The area is wide open and there is no shade or shelter from the wind. The two Labyrinth sites are approximately 1,000 feet apart and are within sight of each other. During the summer months, sites along the river are very buggy. Limits: 15 people and 3 vehicles Toilets: Labyrinth A and B share a toilet; site A is closer than B. River Access: River access is available 0.3 miles north where the White Rim Road borders the bank. Labyrinth B This small, very scenic site is composed mostly of packed, gravel dirt. The area is wide open and there is no shade or shelter from the wind. The two Labyrinth sites are approximately 1,000 feet apart and are within sight of each other. During the summer months, sites along the river are very buggy. Limits: 15 people and 3 vehicles Toilets: Labyrinth A and B share a toilet; site A is closer than B. River Access: River access is available 0.3 miles north where the White Rim Road borders the bank. Come Prepared. The White Rim Road has long rocky stretches, deep sand, and little shade. Bring at least 1 gallon (4 L) of water per person, per day — more if you'll be active. Plan for a minimum of 10-12 hours of driving or cycling. Keep off the Arches. To promote visitor safety and the opportunity to view natural features undisturbed, climbing, scrambling, walking or standing upon, or rappelling off any arch is prohibited in the park. Water There is no potable water along the White Rim Road. For mountain bike trips, we highly recommend a four-wheel-drive support vehicle to carry water and equipment. The 100-mile White Rim Road loops around and below the Island in the Sky mesa top and provides expansive views of the surrounding area. Four-wheel-drive trips usually take two to three days, and mountain bike trips usually take three to four days. Under favorable weather conditions, the White Rim Road is moderately difficult for high-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicles. The steep, exposed sections of the Shafer Trail, Lathrop Canyon Road, Murphy Hogback, Hardscrabble Hill, and the Mineral Bottom switchbacks make the White Rim loop a challenging mountain bike ride, and require extreme caution for both vehicles and bikes during periods of inclement weather. During high water conditions on the Green River, sections of road on the west side can flood, making a complete loop impossible. No potable water is available along the White Rim Road. For mountain bike trips, a four-wheel-drive support vehicle to carry water and equipment is highly recommended.

We took our small tow behind camper here and it worked out perfectly. Centrally located between arches, Canyonlands, and downtown Moab. It was so fun and private
GuideThis campsite was AWESOME! the road getting in was a little rough, but with AWD you should be good. Beautiful views, spread out spots, and easy access to arches. this campsite was a major win!
Guide
First absolutely beautiful campsite. I wish I could stay longer than one night.
Second the road coming in is gravel and washboard rough/bumpy. I drove a 29 foot class C in at about three or 4 mile an hour.. Took me about 15 minutes to go the half mile. But very worth it. The road is passable just rough .
GuideSlightly rough road to get into the campsite plenty of places to choose from. Got there at like 6 o’clock on a Friday night with a camper van and had no trouble. It was the perfect stop for the night able to have a fire and had enough privacy. The stars were phenomenal. Verizon had full bar coverage and you’re close to Arches and Canyonlands.
ScoutI chose this site for proximity to the parks, as well as the lovely geological backdrop. I'm sure this holds similarly true for all the nearby public land, but it did not disappoint as far as sunset/sunrise/stargazing/scenic views and a sense of isolation.
The GPS coordinates in our apple map app brought us into the main entrance which crossed the RR tracks, and shortly thereafter there was an established camping lot where you can reserve spots for a small fee. I appreciated the lot for a couple of reasons - there was a bathroom and trash dumpster, plus, a spot where we were allowed to park our trailer while we went into the park for a few hours.
Anything past that lot is pretty rough terrain. Take it slow. We got our trailer back there for our overnight stay, but let me advise you if you have a big rig - take one of the first available spots and go OUT the same way you came IN. After we set up camp, we were headed to Arches and our map directed us to continue north on the same road we came in. Thankfully we'd already unhitched our trailer, because the road became extremely treacherous before eventually meeting back up with the highway. There's a generously sized parking area at that access point, which seems to be where day use/ATV users like to access the land.
ScoutPhenomenal sunrise and sunsets, train did go by at night but was cool. I have not idea how my corolla made it up such the rocky and gutted road but she did
ScoutPretty good campsite. Road is pretty rocky leading up to it. Verizon service is good
Guide
We arrived last minute on memorial day weekend and were able to get a spot. Helpful hosts. Well maintained bathrooms. Kid friendly nighttime ranger talks in the amphitheater. Great starting point for several hikes
GuideSunsets are amazing. Easily accessed with fire pits. Verizon service is decent.
Traveler
Amazing hosts, fantastic meals available. Old western town vibe. Dark skies. Hikes, dirt biking, mountain biking, ATV / 4wd trails everywhere. 45 miles to Moab, but a world away.
GuideVery close to Arches, but we followed Google maps with the coordinates and it gave us wrong indications for the road, the one google gives is closed. Coming from Moab you need to enter by the road that is just on the right of a large pull off, maybe 1.5 miles before the one google indicates. Easy to go in, ok for minivan and basic cars
TravelerEasy to find a spot. Only one neighbor so many pull offs. Mid size suv okay! Stars were popping. No amenities. Very quiet felt safe
ScoutAbout 15/20 minutes to Arches. I had checked this website on two separate camping sites, and each gave a different entry. We came in the south entrance which was just labeled as a BLM road, and terribly hard to find in the dark ( we came through right at 9pm) that was the only negative thing. Otherwise campsite was adequate for a quick overnight. Plenty of space. The road was in decent condition, no issues there.
GuideLooked like there were better spots than ours but they were taken. Ours was pretty decent, out of the wind, fairly quiet. Not a bad drive in, little bumpy but doable. Atvs/ dirt bikers ride a lot around the area but we got there around sunset and left pretty early so wasn't too bad.
TravelerThere is a bit of a dip in the road so be careful on that but was fine to drive, go slow
Travelerawesome first camping site on a road trip in Moab. Challenging drive up, but should be fine with an SUV, AWD or 4WD will be helpful. beautiful view of an arch and the natural landscape with amazing sunset.
Scout
We adored it here. Came thru with two adults and two girls in a van on way from Taos New Mexico to Moab. Loved meeting Amber and Oscar. Wonderful rocks to climb for a sunset view.
LegendGeneral: Privately owned campground just outside Canyonlands National Park. Caleb and Amber purchased the campground in 2017 and are working to keep it maintained and update it as time and funds allow. You can reserve and pay ahead of time, but site selection is first come, first served, starting at 11 am. We arrived at 3:30 pm and there were about four sites left to choose from. Small and large group sites are available as well as a couple of teepees. No hookups at all.
Site Quality: All are red clay dirt and of varying levelness and length. Sites come with a picnic table and a fire ring. IMO, even though our site was not completely level, we ended up with a great site as we could sit up on the rocks above our campsite and watch the spectacular sunsets. I would definitely choose this site again!
Bath/Shower house: Flush toilets and running water. Soap and paper towels were provided. Showers are $3 for 5 minutes for campers ($10 for non-campers). Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on how well they work.
Activities/Amenities: Enjoy spectacular sunsets. Caleb encouraged us to climb up on the rocks. Site 12 had a nice flat spot that was easy to climb (we easily brought our camp chairs) and great for viewing the sunsets and also for yoga. WiFi is available for $10 per device per day but we didn't take advantage of this. Other than that, there is zero cell service. There is a small store that has ice cream, a welcome treat after a Canyonlands hike! It is a short drive to the visitor center and to various trailheads. You are closer to the Needles District.
It had been 35 years since we had been at Canyonlands, so we looked forward to returning. Caleb and Amber’s warm welcome, the fabulous sunsets, and the quiet vibe of the campground quickly won us over. Just make sure you look out for red ants; we had an industrious group in a large ant hill at our site. We would definitely return!
Legend
Great spot in the desert close to Arches, Canyonlands and Moab to camp. We very much enjoyed our time here...we were able to find level spot. Had one bar of cell phone reception. We had star link so didn't have to worry about that.
We had four other people close by but we were still spread out enough for it to be quiet and private. Not as close as a regular campground.
Great for stargazing, mountain biking etc.
TravelerBeautiful and secluded, good facilities, great views!
TravelerWe arrived in Arches and spent the day exploring. Devils Garden looked fully booked on the recreation.gov website, so we were planning on finding some BLM first come first serve spots nearby but decided to check with the campground host to see if they had any cancellations. The campground host found us an available spot that had opened up and it was perfect! He was so helpful, the campsite was spacious and clean, and they even had flush toilets nearby. Only thing to note is it does get cold at night, don’t let the warm temps during the day fool you! We stayed here late September and it got down to the low 50s/upper 40s. Overall, great campground and wonderful campground host. Would definitely stay at Devils Garden again. :)

This is now part of the UtahRaptor park, so it’s $15/night. I didn’t stay here, but I wouldn’t pay 15 bucks a night for such a desolate looking spot. There are better ones in the area. 
GuideUnique location right next to the national park. Loads of gekkos. Very quiet. Very simple camping with limited services. The Norwegian forest cat Oscar is keeping guard
GuideJust after the group campground you keep driving until you get to single sites overlooking the mesa
ScoutTwo nights very last minute so on FF basis. Host was very helpful. Pitches were absolutely fine. Location was good as it’s in the park, only campground that is, so it’s highly sought after.
TravelerSuper convenient location for visiting nearby Arches & Canyonlands National Parks, as well as Moab. Little to no natural shade available, so it does get hot during the afternoons. There are a plethora of spots to choose from, easy to find a place on Memorial Day weekend. GPS coordinates take you to the entrance, there are many offshoot roads to drive down from there. There is a short stretch of fairly deep sand near the entrance that can be a little bit sketchy. Roads are rough dirt and rock, higher clearance is needed the farther back you go. Went a couple of miles in a small 2WD pickup, but wouldn't recommend taking a sedan too far back. Some cell service in the area, porta-potties are available near the entrance. Nice view of the mountains. Would come camp here again.
GuideI didn't get to go through the campsite sadly, I'm sure it's beautiful but I just wanted to pop on & let anyone driving in a car/possibly with their van know that you may need a 4x4 to pass. Sand got pretty deep at points & I didn't want to risk it. Be safe everyone & happy camping!
