Best Campgrounds near Castle Valley, UT

We love this park! Great hiking right from the campground. Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, clean bathrooms and close to Canyonlands National Park. We really enjoyed our stay here, hiking most of the trails and also visiting Canyonlands Island in the Sky area. Utah does state parks well!

Best place I’ve camped on my extended trip out west. Plenty of sites and private.

Got here right before sunset and just stayed the night. Road was a bit bumpy, we got one of the first few spots with our 2wd camper van. Not much traffic through the night, plenty of cow friends!

Amazing views with multiple points of access for overlooks. As typical of national parks no electricity. Quite campground . Utility sink and flushable toilets in B area . A and C closed for season during March. Would be 5 stars if had electricity. No showers. Showers seem to be less important the longer my trip becomes lol

We like this campground for its location! So convenient to walk to restaurants in Moab. The campground is mostly empty in early March, so doesn’t feel crowded at all. We are in site 20 which is near the road but the road noise isn’t too bad. The bathrooms are very clean, just not super new looking. The laundry is nice. The grounds are very well kept up. We made a reservation by calling from the road and the staff was very helpful. We arrived after hours and the pickup of our site map and information was easy. We’d stay again!

Great spot for exploring north of Moab. Big CG lots of spots to choose from. Quiet in spring! It’s $25 a night can pay with CC or cash at the entrance

I only have it 3 stars because it's nothing but a desert dirt lot for parking, you know like most of the desert SW. Otherwise, it's perfect for solar, wind energy. Perfect for Starlink, satellite tv/Internet and you are close to Moab, a fairly interesting town. We parked here for a few weeks in our van. Watched the daily sky divers, that was always cool. Great sunsets and sunrises.

Bumpy road with sand at the entrance. No amenity’s. Great for dark sky and privacy.

Couldn’t be more perfect if you loved train horns blasting at intersections and coal cars rolling by combined with a steady hum of highway traffic from your cozy dirt pull out.

There are millions of acres of public land around here. This site is something I will not visit again. If I would’ve known better, I would’ve driven down the road another few miles. Looks like there is more camping that direction.

This place was great. We had initially planned to boondock elsewhere but found this location close to both Arches and Canyonlands and some online reviews that mentioned being good for bigger RVs. When we first rolled in, we saw a lot of toy haulers and other rigs with ORV’s- I thought it was going to be loud and and dusty. I was wrong. We drove further to find a site- our map showed a large loop we could turn around on if we didn’t see anything. The further in we got the better the road became and we found many well auto camp spots with tables and metal fire rings. It’s posted to only camp in spots where there are rings- we found that several people ignored this ¯_(ツ)_/¯ We ended up grabbing. A spot that was essentially a pull through and gave us a stunning view and at least 100 yards from our nearest neighbor. Initially I was irritated by the 15$ fee but thought better of it given the well cared for road, many portable toilets as well as vault toilets throughout the park. I saw a ranger patrol which made us feel safer. We were able to let our dog off lead although as with most desert locations- there were stickers and cactus galore. There is definitely wildlife roaming around. Great place to stay a few days or longer if you’re set up well. We only heard one person running a generator and it wasn’t loud enough to disturb our stay.

It was quite a drive in, we just got parked on the edge of the campsite as the smaller roads leading into the campsite looked a bit uneven for our campervan. You do drive passed a paid campsite initially, keep on driving. We had the place to ourselves.

Spending the night on the rim of canyonlands national park— Definitely one of the most magical experiences of my life setting our tents up during sunset and waking up during sunrise overlooking the vast canyon!

Off hwy 191 and very quiet. Level pads with room to stretch. Wi fi was ok and good cellular signal. Bathrooms are heated with nice showers with plenty of hot water. During our stay, we noticed dirt on the shower dressing area. I'm not sure if it from people tracking it in or the cleaner not mopping properly. It was a minor problem. Host was friendly and helpful. Yes there are many full-time campers, but the rigs are in good shape, and the folks are quiet. Price is good for Moab and we would stay again.

Its closed

Quite a few campsite options with lots of wide open space, although this means you can see other sites and have little privacy or coverage from the sun. On a clear night you can see a breathtaking amount of stars. Close to the highway so there's some noise throughout the day, but it does quiet down overnight. Road is a little rocky and bumpy but nothing too crazy, most vehicles should be fine.
