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.

My partner and I were work campers at this location from the end of Aug until about mid October. There are a variety of accommodations from dry camping, pull through RV sites, tipis, cabins, rental RVs, and safari tents. The office is also a cute gift shop and general store with fresh popcorn and homemade pastries available for free. There are two different showers facilities that are maintained beautifully. There is also an observation deck for sunsets and star gazing. Lots of improvements on the way too.

Check in after hours is great. Nice bathrooms. Fast WiFi.
ScoutA very nicely designed and maintained campground right in Moab. They have a North & a South site—we stayed in the South camp. The facilities/comfort stations are clean, have been updated over time, and everything works well. The showers were hot and stayed hot for a proper hot shower after a long day. Electrical outlets at every sink for the more domesticated campers. The sites varied in size, so be sure to ask about “fit” for your rig or tent. The several tent sites are located along the back side. There is a Carwash just over a creek/ravine behind that side and you can hear it working all day, but it stops around dinner time. There is also a highway nearby and the traffic is a bit noisy, but traffic pretty much stops around 9-10pm and doesn’t get noisy again until around 8 am. The campground is close to everything in Moab, so you can hardly get a more convenient location. Arches is just out of town to the North, so travel there is a breeze.
Traveler
Staff is friendly and helpful! Gave a great recommendation for an off road drive through Canyonlands NP. Good view out the back of property of Arches. Pool needed to be fixed while we were here, so can't speak to that. Showers are older and water pressure is dismal but they're warm and ok for washing off the dirt we were coated in after hiking in the Moab wind. Sites are easy to find and grounds were clean and neat.
Traveler
About 5 miles outside of downtown Moab. Very clean, amazing staff, dog friendly. I would give more star, however, we paid for a premier pull through full hook up’s site and it was situated just above the dump station. We have a 40’ Alliance Toy Hauler. We were not familiar with the campground. I would recommend staying in sites #100 and up if you’re in a large rig. Would definitely return knowing what we know now. Immaculately kept campground!
Legend
Friendly staff, off the road so noise is low, well maintained, all the amenities you need (not much of a store), cement pad for our Elite Back In. Con: didn’t really like being between two vacation rentals but the view in back was great. We saw lots of deer behind us. Easy in and out, close to parks, brewery within walking distance. Would stay again!
Guide
Gravel and level lots and all pull throughs. Friendly and helpful staff. One night stay on our way to salt lake City. Has bathrooms with showers and laundry...nice. Would stay again. Only a 4 star because it offers nothing for kids like a playground. Now $48 a night. Cable included.
Scout
Found this campsite using this app. We ended up staying 2 more nights. All facilities are very clean, showers are great, the kids just loved the pool. We stayed in a full hookup tent site, which has nice shade. You can hear the highway and AC's from the Airstream Park. But not too loud. We didn't mind. Campground is ideal for visits to Arches (5 minutes to entrance) or Canyonlands.
Guide
If you're looking for a new, sterile KOA, keep going. If you're looking for a unique, well appointed, affordable spot owned and occupied by really great creative people, stay here! I liked it so much I stayed an entra week.
TravelerPros: great location- walkable to shops and restaurants - nice shade trees - nice people
Cons - sites packed pretty tight
LegendThis park is very close to Arches entrance, so we chose it, that and we have stayed at several Sun properties. So we paid the higher than average price in the area to stay there.
The folks at check in we very nice. Once we were at the site, we noticed all camp side tables and pad were shared. 2 tables about 10 feet apart. That is why in the rows, one RV parks north the other the south. Whoever thought this up, hopefully he is out of the business. Our common site folks we nice and wondered what table was theirs. You can't help meeting people here. :-)
Guide
Small USFS campground. If you like aspens, chirping birds, curious deer, and...relief from lower elev heat, give a visit. A few FF spots can fit campers 25' or less, bring extra blocks to level.
Great hiking right out of the CG.
Guide
We arrived last minute on memorial day weekend and were able to get a spot. Helpful hosts. Well maintained bathrooms. Kid friendly nighttime ranger talks in the amphitheater. Great starting point for several hikes

All you can ask in a koala like campground
Traveler
Makes for a much cooler place to camp rather than the Moab valley below. The road construction on weekdays made getting here a pain and since most of the sites are first-come first-serve, it would suck to drive up there and it be full. Very well maintained sites with all of the features you need, including permanent bear boxes. Plenty of trails nearby to see the La Sal Mountains and the national parks below.
Ranger
Overall 5 stars. Super friendly staff. Showers were clean. Sites were clean.
ScoutBallard had some nice long pull thru sites. Full hook ups and reasonable rates. Trees are planted and growing. Close to Moab without Moab prices. Very reasonable. We had a change of plans and got a refund for the day we left.
TravelerBooked a cabin to have A/C for a few nights in the heat. A/C quits working at 10:00pm. After hours calls x3. No response.
RangerDecent RV park that is close to downtown Moab. Sites are clean, but close together. Large shade trees, pool, laundry. clean bathrooms. The park is tucked behind the Texaco station and it is easy to miss.
TravelerThis was our second time staying at Portal. First time we rented a house for a week. This time we took my 21 foot travel trailer and stayed for only one night. Just like the first time, it didn’t disappoint.
Lovely RV sites with super clean bathrooms, showers, laundry and swimming pools (2). Full hookups too for those with water, sewage, and electricity.
Site 1 was a gravel site with a paved bit to the right where a table and chairs were located. This site is at the beginning of the row, closest to the bathrooms, laundry and swimming pool. There’s enough room between the site and the building that you don’t feel intrusive, although at night I could hear people walking on the gravel towards the bathrooms.
The site is also near another property where a very friendly horse lives, who seems to visit the RV park in the mornings and evenings.
We asked management if it was okay to stay an extra 30 mins after checkout, and they were very accommodating.
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.
ScoutWe visited April 2024. The proximity to Moab, Arches and Canyonlands is ideal. The sites themselves were pretty packed in there so we didn’t have a ton of space outside our camper (21’ with one pop out). The restrooms were conveniently located and very clean.
GuideNice RV park with option for full hookups in the center of town. We were grateful for the amenities and walking distance to a lot in Moab after boondocking for several nights in a row in BLM land. Only down side is how close together the spots are. We were also in a spot close to road and there was lots of highway noise on the weekend of the jeep event in Moab. Otherwise no complaints about this RV park!
TravelerWe loved Portal RV resort. Clean park with great amenities with adequate spacing. Full hook ups and great restrooms, showers and pool area. Just 5 minutes from Arches National Park and the center of town. Friendly staff and pretty quiet as we were there later in the season.
We will be back!
ScoutWe camped in one of the small RV spots. It was nice that we were the only ones on the north side of the campground. Very quiet and peaceful compared to the summer months. The bathroom was closed for renovations on the north side so we would have to walk or drive to the south side for the bathroom. Other than that, amenities were nice (electric and water).
RangerWe booked for 10 days around. Christmas and New Years. We’re meeting family for holidays.
Full hookups were nice and we got them for $42 a night.
Staff was really friendly and location seemed secure.
Quick access to national parks and other trips.
LegendGreat location for Arches, Canyonlands, and Moab. People love Moab but I did not care for it. Extremely busy area and campground. Sites are ridiculously close to each other. FHUs, laundry, restrooms and showers available. Very nice pool and hot tub. But again extremely busy campground with ATV traffic along with regular traffic. Proper Brewing is a few minutes walk from campground and had a great dinner and drinks there.
