Red rock cliffs surround this BLM campground along Kane Creek Boulevard, about 10 miles southwest of downtown on a dirt road that follows the Colorado River. The Ledge system includes multiple tiers with numbered sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Sites sit against rock formations that provide natural windbreaks, though wind picks up after sunset.
Campers find level ground suitable for tents or RVs, with adequate spacing between sites. The area lacks tree cover entirely, so shade structures become essential during warmer months. "Super clean but the smell was the worst I have ever encountered," notes Shay F. about the open-air vault toilets, which remain well-maintained despite the odor issue. Rock scrambling opportunities exist directly from camp, with access trails leading to higher viewpoints and creek access below.
Sites cost $20 per night with cash payment required at self-service stations. The campground fills during popular events like Jeep Week, though sound carries across the open terrain. No water is available on-site, and cell service remains unreliable. The rough access road challenges larger RVs and trailers. For additional camping options, explore campgrounds near Moab. Mosquitoes can be problematic during evening hours, particularly in warmer seasons.
