Devils Garden Campground is located deep within the heart of beautiful Arches National Park in Southeastern Utah, at an elevation of approximately 5200 ft.. The campground is situated among natural sandstone arches and fins and is only 18 miles north of the park's entrance and 23 miles from Moab, Utah.
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.

Can't wait to go back! Moenkopi yurts are in the perfect setting for fantastic views, star gazing! Each yurt sleeps six and is very close to trails. Rest rooms are conveniently located. This is the true glamping experience.
Traveler
Definitely Glamping. On the expensive side but useful if you don't want to do the camping work yourself. Different size yurts to accommodate group size. Beautiful area.
Ranger
Ultimate glamping location. We have stayed here many times for everything from biking trips, climbing, and rafting trips. Huge fan of the bathrooms and showers they did a great job with them.
Guide
Campsites were 10 feet from each other, and surrounded by the RV hookups and cabins. If you're looking for a genuine camping experience, you won't get it here. I imagine it'd be a great place for glamping, but I give it two stars since I was under the impression they had legitimate campsites. Facilities and showers were very clean, though, that was a big perk.
Traveler
Great experience! Really helpful staff, clean and quiet sites, and lovely views.
When we arrived with my 21 foot travel trailer, we were told that site 28 can be difficult to park in due to the angle and size, but just as panic started to seep into this trailer-newbie’s brain, they said, “But don’t worry, Jake can help you park your trailer into the spot.” And he did! Jake was super helpful and within 5 minutes my RPod was happily parked at site 28!
The site was clean, with water, sewage, and electric hookups on the left side. It comes with a picnic table and fire pit (fire wood can be bought at the shop).
I was remote working, and the wifi worked pretty well (I just had issues once during a meeting when video + screen sharing was on).
The site is right on the La Sal Mountain Loop, which is a beautiful drive up the mountain and down through Castle Valley and along the Colorado River.
We really loved our stay.

We came across Needles Outpost on our road trip across southern Utah. After some nights of dispersed camping, this was a welcome treat. The camping grounds were pleasantly spaced and we did not feel like we were on top of other campers. Amber, owner of the site, was absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed stopping into the outpost to chat with her. Amber had a store with crucial essentials that you may need, firewood (which was thick logs that go a long way!), gas for when you’re in an absolute pinch (nearest gas station is 30-40 miles away), and bathroom with showers (must purchase tokens, similar to NP sites). We did one night staying at site 4 and a night in one of Ambers canvas (glamping) tents. Both were extremely well kept and had beautiful surroundings. The sunsets over Canyonlands NP and the star gazing were outstanding and alone made the stay worth every penny. If we ever find ourselves back in the needles region of Canyonlands, Needles Outpost will be our overnight stay.
TravelerWe spent 3 night at Under Canvas Moab for a wedding and had a wonderful experience. We (2 couples) stayed in a 4-single beds tent and were happy with the choice due to the heat while we were there. The canvas tent was beautiful and included the 4 beds, 4 folding chairs, a dresser, and outlets to charge cell phones. Under Canvas provided live music Friday night, yoga Saturday morning, and smores around the campfire every night. We needed to do a lot of set up for the wedding ceremony and reception, and the Under Canvas staff were incredibly helpful to help us prepare. Some tents included a bathroom and shower. Ours did not, and we had no problem using the shared bathrooms and showers with other guests. Overall, a great spot for glamping and for a beautiful wedding!!
RangerBoth times I've stayed here we stayed in the big yurt in the center. You have access to great bathrooms and showers right next door, the yurt has AC for during the night, and you're in Moab close to all kinds of outdoor activities and the Green River for rafting. The yurt has plenty of room to setup beds and places to play games. The AC isn't amazing though so it's not somewhere you would want to hang out in for too long during the day.
GuideThe yurt was amazing. Clean restroom, huge deck, and the air conditioning was nice in the desert! Right on bike/hike trails and the night sky was stunning.

We wanted a camping experience along our girls’ road trip without having to pack all the camping gear. The Wingate yurts were and are fantastic. They are perfectly appointed, clean, A/C is included, the mattresses are comfortable, there is a firepit and propane BBQ. The restrooms are nearby, they are extremely clean (plenty of toilet paper and hand soap), and have water/dish washing areas. No showers. It is a short hike on a trail from the yurts to Dead Horse point overlook. There is a store in the campground and the ranger station sells firewood. We utilized the site as home base to many attractions. Nearby is Moab, Arches, Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands, and more.
LegendDead Horse Point has a new section called Wingate. The older section is Kayenta.
Wingate has wide asphalt spaces, electricity, fire rings, tent pads and picnic tables with wind blocks on 2 sides. There are very few trees...so no shade. (Kayenta has greater shade possibilities.) There may also be some sewer hookups.
Another feature - walk-in tent sites and yurts. There are 4 great looking yurts in Wingate and 5 others near the park's Visitor Center.
Bathrooms - they are private and include an automatic flush toilet, soap dispenser, automatic faucet and hand dryer. No showers but the bathrooms are very nice.
There is a dishwashing sink outside the bathroom. It appears the water is potable but they ask you to arrive with water and help conserve water. Their water is trucked in from Moab....per reserveamerica.com.
Guide
The Moab area provides ample camping opportunities from yurts to primitive camping. With Arches National Park campground closures, other spots are going fast. Given that and it being Friday, I was amazed that I was able to snag a spot at the Dead Horse Point State Park campground!
Despite the weather being ridiculously hot (from the PNW...we only know rain and overcast), this campground offers beautiful scenery and well developed sites. Each site has two spots to set up a tent and a RV hookup.
The campsite itself is located at 5900 feet which makes for amazing views but also nothing to shade from the desert dry sun.
Each site does have a covered picknick area, a cabinet to store belongings, and a working light!
There are only 22 sites which book up fast so if you are like me and refuse to be committed to a reservation, better get there early enough to grab a spot!
By day...beware of ravens...they are fierce scavengers. By night...beware of bats...they are blind.
Utah is known for its night skies and this campground lives up to the hype! Truly a gem!
RangerWhy anyone visiting arches and canyonland/Moab would choose to stay here is beyond me! I booked this campground based on raving reviews and recommendations. First this campground is double the price of campgrounds in town that have showers, pools, WiFi, all amenities, dead horse has no showers, as a tent camper you are not allowed to park next to your site, supposedly you get a 5.00 credit for this inconvenience. The site and park are nice and clean, with beautiful views. The sites have a two sided structure that houses the picnic table. Beware of the sand and mosquitoes. I included a picture of the yurts they rent, we didn’t stay in those, we tent camped. Some people said it was close to Moab, it’s about 45 minutes away from Moab and arches!
LegendGeneral & Site Quality: 56 electric sites, walk-in tent sites, and nine yurts in two loops: Kayenta and Wingate. Paved driveways, mostly level, a tent pad, fire ring, and a sheltered picnic table (from sun and wind) complete the electric sites. Back-in sites are on the inside of the loops while pull-thru sites are on the outside. There were three camp hosts in the Wingate loop, more than I usually see.
Bathhouse: Eight individual units in each loop with toilet, sink, soap, and hand dryer. Although the toilets were automatic flush, they didn’t always do the job and often took multiple tries. One toilet was clogged. There are also some vault toilets. No showers.
Activities: Nice and easy hiking trails. You can hike the west rim and east rim trails to make a loop for approximately five miles (depending on how many overlooks you include). Some trails are better marked than others, but we enjoyed a west-to-east rim hike from and returning to our campsite in Wingate. Designated mountain biking trails.
Unfortunately, we could only snag one night here but would have liked to have stayed longer.
LegendI had the opportunity to stay at the brand new Dead Horse Point State Park Windgate Campground. The campground opened in 2018 and it showed. It was clean, convenient and offered great views.
We were using the campground as a basecamp to visit a number of the parks in the area. It is a 20 minute drive to Arches National Park, 20 minutes to Islands in the Sky District of Canyonlands NP and a 2 hour drive to The Needles District of Canyonlands NP.
We stayed in the tent walk in sites. The reality is that each of the walk in sites is no further than a 100 foot walk. There were parking spaces located next to the restroom facilities and the campsite was within easy walking distance. Many of the other campsites had room for tents or RVs and were drive up sites. Each of the campsites had a tent pad, shelter with two walls, picnic table and a campfire pit with a grill. We experienced a cold front which brought strong winds, rain and cold temperatures so the shelter came in handy. I'm guessing that in the summer, the shelter offers valuable shade from the sun. There were Yurts available to rent.
The restrooms were the cleanest restrooms at a campground that I've ever seen. Each restroom offered sinks and toilets, but no showers. There are no showers in the park. There was an outdoor sink that could be used for cleaning dishes.
Beyond the campsites, the Dead Horse Point State Park offers some well manicured hiking trails with some spectacular views. Go straight to the Dead Horse Point Overlook to see the iconic view of the Colorado River bend like a horseshoe. There are a number of other scenic overlooks along the road that passes through the park.
The park office has an educational center and a store. The store sells souvenirs and basic supplies, but the prices were a bit high. You'll find grocery stores and outfitters 20 minutes away in Moab. There was a food truck cafe parked near to the park office, but it was never open during our stay.

Stay Under canvas at Moab!! I believe it's the only way to truly experience what Utah has to offer, at least if you want unique!! I'm not the kind to run with the crowd and enjoyed tenting Utah more than luxury RV camping. Hiking arches main attraction of Utah was top notch!! So much to see and do with rock climbing guides available! Definitely want to take this trip again!!
Guide
This campground is surrounded by tall majestic rocks high in the Utah desert. Well located to visit several National parks. Toilets and water scattered around this large site. Nightly seminars by park staff.
GuideI know. The deserts of Utah and I’m complaining about shade. Great location at Deadhorse and right on the cusp of Canyonlands and near Arches and Moab. Great views of the stars
Guide
This is the worst RV park in Green River Utah. No staff - no propane - not well kept areas.
Traveler
You can't beat the scenery in Utah! Beautiful views of the mountains, clear open skies, trails and hiking options for beginners and avid hikers alike, close enough to Moab to visit but separated enough you can forget it's even there. Clean facilities and well kept sites, perfect place to get some distance but not TOO much!
GuideThe First thing i can recommend is to visit here in an off month of weather even in October it can be hot and crowded though October is much milder when it comes to this place. There is nothing like the parks of Utah they are truly incredible and unmatched around the world. Arches is a land of extremes and its utterly stunning being the bottom of a ocean bed. I wish i could come back here every year. With it being a dark sky park the night time is just brilliant as the park is during the daytime.
RangerI really loved this spot. The best spots are at the very top of the hill at the end of the road. Those spots offer a 360 degree view of the desert floor to the west, and the mountains to the east. Depending on how far you want to walk, there is access to several of the park's arches right from the campsite. Beware of Ravens! They are extremely cunning and can open up food packaging and rubber maid type storage totes. I recently visited all of the National Parks in Utah & Texas and this was my favorite campsite.

Called a few days ago for reservation, was very easy and a friendly voice on the phone. Same voice checked me in with a wonderful story of rescued cats as I'm traveling with my two cats. Found my site was perfect for my tent and my truck is right next to it. Lots of amenities, ready access to the Green River and tons more sight seeing. Come make this your launching pad for Utah's beauty
LegendThis campground was a little removed from the main interest points of the park. It was small and primitive. Not a whole lot going on in camp loop. There is a bathroom but no showers. Generator use is limited in the loop. Of the Utah parks, it was my least favorite due to lack of transportation systems. If you drive an RV and don't have a tow vehicle this can be a challenge to get around. We made the best of it and went to thors hammer, double arch, etc. and hiked. Just so you know the sun is brutal in summer so bring a hat, sunscreen and lots of water before you start walking around here.
ScoutThis is a great campground for all types of camping situations; an oasis in the middle of the desert to refuel, shower, plug-in, have a hot meal at the restaurant next-door, recharge and even swim in the pool or float the Green River through Labrynth canyon in the warm months. So much to do in either direction from Green River - all the national parks and public land access. Not sure if there’s a better place in Utah for it.
Guide
We did a lot of camping over a week and a half in different areas in Utah and this was my least favorite camping spot(We camped in other spots around Canyonlands and Arches). The smell was what bothered me the most... The outhouses stunk horribly. We could smell them from our campsite and we werent even the closest ones to them. Sites werent very private but we just parked our car in between the campsites for added privacy. It was shaded and cool in the afternoon. The perk of this site was that we got there around 8pm and there was still a spot for us. Its close to town, arches, and canyonlands. No water so bring your own.
Traveler
First of all, it's a campground. I'm not sure what others expected. I'm happy to have a place to pitch my tent, a pit toilet, some place to chill at the end of the day. Maybe this place is more expensive than others, but have you checked the hotel prices in Moab? We got an established site (vs a primitive site) and hung a hammock from the trees. Minimal instructions, we just hung our printed booking confirmation on the post of our choice. Yes it was hot & dusty, but that's Utah at the end of June. We were there mid-week and only a handful of other sites were occupied. Found the noise levels to be satisfactory and the stars pretty impressive. The canyon views were lovely.. Would've gotten bonus points for river access though...
