"We setled on #26 because of it’s proximity to the vault bathrooms and the water spigots. Had a nice suprize in the morning with the canyon behind us being full of deer."
"We stopped here for a night on our way from Moab, Utah to Supai, Arizona."
"Big open lot at the end of CR 0083 near Monticello, UT in Monti La Sal national forest. Good a flat with a nice view. Also high elevation so it’s good and cool at night."

$45 - $80 / night
"Monticello is the ideal place to explore eastern Utah from. Everything is about an hour away. "
"Pet friendly, showers and laundry and as a bonus the owner puts on a little sharp shooting exhibition in the evening."
"We drove our Thor Axis and roads and site were fine for off-road- slow on the last mile plus of dirt. Pretty and quiet but took a few minutes to level our spot."
"This site is about 3 miles off the highway with the last 1.5 miles on a decent dirt road. I think it would be hard to navigate in the rain/wet.
Beautiful views!"

"This beautiful, shady campground is at the end of a 9-mile County Road going north out of Blanding, Utah, but is well worth the trip."
"We were right next to the vault toilet which the hosts keep extraordinarily clean. By the group sites there was another bathroom."
LegendThis is the second developed CG up the paved road from Monticello. This one has a large open center area that is for two group camping areas. Also there are 10 single spots. Vault toilets, dumpster and water in season. Cell is ok. $20/$10 senior And $50 for group sites. During my visit several single sites had reserved signs posted. Four of the 10 single sites are only FCFS, test are reservable.
LegendNice large area, lots of spur roads going to many dispersed camps. Roads have clay so some low spots can be mud holes after rains. Area is at 8850 elv, seems popular for hunting in the fall so be aware from Sept on. Vegetation is mostly oak brush and scattered pine trees and aspen. Cell signal on T-Mobile was almost useless for downloads. This area has a paved road all the way from Monticello, about 8 miles back to town. No toilets, no dumpsters and no water. Two developed FS CGs are close by but seems to have an aggressive approach to dispersed campers using the dumpsters.
GuideFabulous customer service, WiFi, dog park, and the views are amazing. Glad we found this place
GuideDon’t let the dilapidated mobile home near the entrance scare you away. This place is super well maintained. Every site is well thought out and has great hookups. I thought a plug water and sewer was pretty uniform. Our site had a pedestal with 20/30/50 amp and then another with 30 20 feet further into the site. Lots of shade. The sites along the south edge of the property have amazing views of the Cortez valley and Sleeping Ute Mountain. Really nice communal fire pit, dog park and some trails too. Some sites have a beautiful brick fire ring too.
GuideQuaint campground two blocks from downtown and a 7-11. Park in the lot and carry your gear (carts provided) to your site. Showers and dish washing area kept up very nicely twice a day. BBQs available to cook all set up and ready to go.
Cool vibe for adventurers. Most people were up and out before sunrise to hike Arches NP. We also used it a s a base for Canyonlands to do some off roading.
There is a dog park nearby, but you only heard it if you were still in camp at 10am.
GuideVery, very tight RV spaces. Had to park truck perpendicular to trailer. At times we were blocked by neighbors vehicles, but they had nowhere else to park. Had to wait to leave because exiting from our site was blocked anytime someone used the dump station. Would be horrible for a one night stay. They have a “dog park” that is tiny. Pretty useless except for very small dogs. It is very obvious they tried to maximize the number of sites at the expense of ease of access.
The good things are the rest rooms were clean, the sites did have some shade, concrete pads for parking RV, and (depending on if this matters to you) it is right in town in Moab with easy walk to numerous restaurants, shops, and stores.
GuideGreat WiFi. Perfect hook-ups. The staff seems great.
We really enjoyed the crowd of campers here. Younger than a lot of places we’ve been. No kids though. Also, the rocky area is rough of your dog’s feet. There is a sandy dog park in Moab, that was pretty good.
GuideStayed a week at the end of April. Weather was perfect. RV park is exactly as advertised. The sites were adequate, and the selling point for me was the patch of nice green grass! The dog park was ok…just a big patch of dirt. While not a big deal for some, I have two dogs, one of which finds it difficult to potty in unfamiliar places as well as those without grass. Such a big baby. I have nothing negative to say about this RV park and would stay here again as it is close to Moab and all the National Parks.
GuideWe originally wanted to stay in Mexican hat for a few days, but once we got there we found there was little to no cell service. We looked around for other potential options and found that Blanding had decent Verizon, so we went back up(about an hour away from Mexican Hat). Once we arrived, we were blown away by how nice it was. The park was extremely well maintained, had trees, dog parks, dog trash cans, 2 hot shower and bathroom locations, full hookup service, and park WiFi.
The hosts were extremely nice and gave us some inside information on local petroglyphs, which is part of the reason we wanted to stay in the area.
If you are traveling through the area (to or maybe from Moab/ Arches) this is a must stop over- even if it's just to take a hot shower, dump your tanks, charge your batteries, and use the park WiFi.
