"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."
"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!"
"Close to arches, canyonlands and dead horse. Nice for a free campground to have portapotties spread out along the road. People tended to share camp spots when I was there."
"Tons of access to mountain bike trails in the area as well. Fire bans were in place at the time through summer to Nov 1st."
"There is quite an easy turn off right off of highway 70 (whether heading east or west, you can turn north off the highway)."
"It's always closed to keep cows off the freeway so please close it. The area has several places to disperse camp. If you follow the road it will take you to the east entrance of the Black Dragon."
$20 / night
"Great spot for unstructured camping (no sites, just a large dirt parking lot) surrounded by sagebrushy land. We landed a spot right across from Courthouse Rock (see photo)."
"Horse corrals are offered here and space for horse trailer parking. About 1 mile from hwy 191 on gravel road. Great cell signal."
"I chose this site for proximity to the parks, as well as the lovely geological backdrop."
"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"
"I drove through Arches National Park on Salt Valley Road, until it exited the park onto BLM Land. Took an immediate right and followed the fence of the park."
"There are few pull offs and lots of signs for roads closed but I drove a little bit further than where there is a turn around at the top and it was gorgeous!"
"beautiful area just past a slightly creepy near-ghost town with lost of buildings in shambles. incredible view of the stars at night. be aware of flash flooding as this is a narrow canyon."
$150 - $175 / night
"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."
"A little bit off the beaten path from city center in Moab but worth the drive."
"Lots of flat ground, highway noise wasn’t too loud but also wasn’t too far away from the road."
"Level ground, mostly quiet with some highway noise."
"The road getting you into this deep canyon sets the mood for the epic adventure of sleeping down by the river and surrounded by massive rock walls."
"Great little area with trees near the river. Awesome hammock trees. Swimming holes in the river."
TravelerThe Labyrinth A & B sites are about 100 yards from one another but elevation differences mean that you really don’t see the other unless you want to. Between the sites is a primitive toilet.
The site itself is easy to reach (about 1-1.5 hour drive off the paved road via Mineral Road and WhiteRim Trail. The drive out is gorgeous with a few easy/medium technical areas.
We arrived before sunset and enjoyed dinner by the Green River and an absolute show during sunset as the light and shadows danced around the canyon walls. The night sky is well visible and didn’t disappoint once the clouds cleared.
By far our favorite camping spot to date!!
TravelerGreat spot for unstructured camping (no sites, just a large dirt parking lot) surrounded by sagebrushy land. We landed a spot right across from Courthouse Rock (see photo). Rustic toilet facilities, trash bin even a paddock for those who brought horses. Dinosaur prints within an easy hike. Great access to bridle and atv trails, and lots of enthusiastic, friendly atv'ers, mainly in huge rvs. Rugged access road, including a sand wash section that caught a few vehicles in its grips...Close to Moab, Arches and Canyonlands.
GuideClose to arches, canyonlands and dead horse. Nice for a free campground to have portapotties spread out along the road. People tended to share camp spots when I was there. Perfect for car camping but you may have some loud neighbors. Great place to stay near Moab with pretty views as well. Cant get better than free.
RangerPlenty of open space and spots to choose from. Tons of access to mountain bike trails in the area as well. Fire bans were in place at the time through summer to Nov 1st. Make sure to only camp in designated spots, otherwise a busy place like this will be dust before you know it. Trash must be packed out, a few portable bathrooms throughout if you need it. Very close access to Arches and Moab, Dead Horse and Canyonlands not far either. A great free base camp.

LegendNot a horse person but checked it out. 6 nice large sites with green steel corrals. Vault toilet tables and fire rings for the humans. However NO Water for humans or horses. No dumpsters, no cell signal. Roads are good hard gravel.
LegendNice open CG with large sites good for OHV trailer folks. 10 sites $20/$10 senior. NO Water. One older style toilet, trash dumpster. No RV dump. Horse corrals are offered here and space for horse trailer parking. About 1 mile from hwy 191 on gravel road. Great cell signal.
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.
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.
