The Ledge Campground
The Ledge Campground, near Moab, Utah, is a fantastic spot for those looking to immerse themselves in the stunning desert landscape. With its spacious sites surrounded by breathtaking red rock formations, it’s a prime location for both tent camping and RVs, though larger trailers might want to think twice about the drive in.
This campground is open year-round and offers basic amenities like clean vault toilets and trash disposal. Campers have noted the well-maintained facilities, with one visitor saying, “Honestly the nicest camping bathrooms I’ve ever used.” Each site comes with a fire ring, making it perfect for evening gatherings under the stars, though you’ll need to bring your own firewood.
For adventure seekers, The Ledge is just a short drive from iconic spots like Canyonlands and Arches National Park, where you can hike, bike, or simply take in the awe-inspiring views. The area is also known for its beautiful sunsets and starry nights, with one camper recalling, “The sunrise was breathtaking. The sun hit the red rock and created a beautiful warm red to contrast the morning blue sky.”
While the campground is remote and lacks tree cover, which means no shade or privacy, the open space allows for a true connection with nature. Just be prepared for some wind and the occasional mosquito in the evenings. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, The Ledge Campground offers a unique desert experience that’s hard to beat.
