Best Glamping near La Sal, UT

DID U CAMP NEAR LA SAL LOOP 8/12-8/16/21?? Did you hear or see anything?? Please review videos, pics, go pro’s 38.507019, -109.341093 (their campsite) Thank u!

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.

A shadeless, sweltering, exposed, ant ridden, miniature basketball court of a frying pan in the day time. A wind ripped, exposed, barren land by night. This campsite (#42) offered vistges of our impending mortality at every moment. Also decent sunrises and views of the La Sal Mountains can be had if you are willing to face the wrath of nature. Albert, our camp host, was simply awesome! This is however the best of hospitality in an unforgiving inhospitable land. Good luck.

Park is great. Pull through spots with full hook ups. We stayed in late December so it was very cold. They do a good job of wrapping their water supply though. Lost of spaces. The la sal mountains are right across the street and you can see them from the park. You can also see a nice canyon view rising up behind you. There is not a fenced in dog run so you’ll have to walk them on leash to go to the bathroom. Staff is very friendly as well. Park is within minutes to Arches about 10-15 min drive and canyon lands is about 35-45 mins away.

If you're here to see Canyonlands, Hovenweep, Escalante and even Arches this is a great spot. Or skip all the crowds and play in the Manti La Sal Mountains. Moab is about 1 hour away, but the drive is easy. And this RV Park is quiet and quaint. You've got shower and bath and laundry and a great host and owner. Very neat and clean bathrooms, just not new. Restaurant next door always had a crowd in the evening so it must be good, but we didn't try it. Just stopping by or staying awhile this is a peaceful and safe place to park. We'll be back!

Such a beautiful campground. We stayed at site 28 which I really enjoyed because there was no campsite to our left. On the right the site was fairly far away. Across our site over the road was a view of the La Sal mountains and the valley floor. Behind us was a very large sandstone rock formation so you really feel secluded. Bathrooms were a short walk away and fairly clean. Only "complaint" is the distance from moab (1 hr) which is inconvenient if you're into exploring the park along with the town. The site also seemed to act like a wind tunnel so it didn't help we arrived during a period of already high winds.

This is the Ravens home; we are just visitors. Seriously, don't sleep on the Ravens. They are always watching. This place is very hard to book for two nights in a row, so consider yourself lucky if you can live here for a couple days. It was quite nice. I think I saw only one or two other multi-night campers. This gives you the freedom to enjoy the park during less crowded time since it is right outside your door. Some sites are better suited for tents and some for RVs. I didn't have many expectations for this Park, but it is truly amazing and beautiful to explore. The La Sal mountains to the east are nice too.

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.

First off, this review is based on being in one of the extra wide spots (spot numbers in high 80s/90s). Not sure we would have felt the same in other spots.

So we all realize Moab is kind of *^%# for camping these days and crazy expensive. Our hesitation at the cost of this camp melted away by a great view out to the desert and La Sal mountains beyond from our camp. That view alone is what makes up most of this review’s positive vibe. Add in great energy and vibe from all of the fellow adventurers coming and going, great staff, and a nicely heated pool and you’ve got a great experience and certainly one better than other Moab offerings (unless boondocking is an option). The general store and attached gas station add to the great amenities.

Fair warning that OHV traffic is pretty heavy. We like the activity and energy it brings but probably not for everyone.

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.

If you're looking for a free place to camp in Moab, then this is your spot. These campsites are just outside Dead Horse Point State Park along Long Canyon Rd. You can either drive up 313 and turn on Long Canyon Rd, or take Pucker Pass up if you have a jeep. These campsites are on state land, which pretty much has no camping restrictions besides leave no trace. Be careful to not camp too far down the road (Pucker Pass side) near the rim - it turns into BLM land that you can't camp on. We made this mistake and had the BLM Rangers visit us the next morning. We were only given a warning because we didn't know we were on BLM land. Apparently there are 'No Camping' signs when you enter the BLM land, but we obviously didn't see them. So, all of the legal campsites are along Long Canyon Rd, which is a dirt road on top of a plateau. You can see for miles out to the La Sal mountains on the CO and UT border. Although beautiful, there is no shade and it is windy. These campsites only have fire rings.

Got lucky and nabbed a reservation only one week before our arrival. Spent 4 nights mid-May at site 22. Huge site at the top of the hill with 360 degree views. We could have put up three large tents easily in the surrounding sandy areas. It also has a very large flat paved parking area with the picnic table up out of the sand. One of the group sites sits between this site and the restrooms, but there is a nice divide and we hardly noticed when we had neighbors. We spent a lot of time relaxing on top of the rock fin behind our site. As there was a clear view of the La Sal Mountains, we also got decent 5G AT&T signal from the rocks when needed. We have short camping chairs that let us fit under the small tree for some shade in the afternoon. Being on top of the hill, the wind did pick up in the late afternoon each day. That was a little frustrating with all the sand. I made the mistake of leaving the covers unzipped on the tent windows the first afternoon and sand leaked into the tent through the mesh. Also, the only water faucet is by the restroom, so make sure you have a good container to carry water.

The 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.

Dead 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.

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!

Why 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!

General & 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.

I 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.
