The Ledge Campground

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

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.

Quiet solitude

Quite a drive back to camp! RV and larger trailers not recommended unless you really know what you're doing. Vault toilet (not for me but available). Mosquitoes are for REAL especially in the evening. Very remote. No cell service.

Beautiful, Empty, Windy

This is a great way to get cheap camping less than a half hour from Moab. There are well maintained toilets and dumpsters available. We arrived around 6 and had many campsites to choose from. It got very windy at night so if you’re in a tent look for coverage.

Canyon Camping

Great spot to camp! Use the site slips to reserve a site ($20). Each site has a fire ring, table, parking spots and space for at least 2 tents. There’s one dumpster which can be pretty far away depending on the spot you get. The restrooms are well maintained and don’t smell bad. Honestly the nicest camping bathrooms I’ve ever used. You are surrounded by the beautiful red rock on Moab. Close proximity to Canyonlands and Arches National Park. About 10-20min drive to gas station. Also close to the Colorado River and corona arch!

Beautiful and primitive

We camped from April 12th-14th and had plenty of spots to choose from after coming in at 3:10pm—which was awesome considering it was the first weekend of Jeep week! It wasn’t too hot and it had just rained so all the flowers and plants were thriving. Perfect time to go. 20 bucks a night, not too bad, so bring cash. Picked a spot up against a beautiful, red rock pile and set up camp. Plenty of space between you and your neighbors, but keep in mind, there is absolutely no tree coverage (no privacy and no shade). By the time we went to bed, the campground was full and sound carries, so be mindful of your neighbors when you’re coming in late. Each campsite gets a picnic table and fire pit, but there’s no water. Decent bathroom—open air so you can see the stars when you dump at night. Awesome.

Great camping

We got to Moab and we’re not able to find any camping spots. It was battle trying to find something. My brothers friend recommended going down the canyon west of Moab. We decided to do that on a whim and ended up at this amazing camping site. We got there just en time for sunset and the sunrise was breathtaking. The sun hit the red rock and created a beautiful warm red to contrast the morning blue sky. There’s bathrooms, and little camp sites all along this valley. Beautiful area.

Moab Desert Beauty

We arrived in Moab late in the afternoon with no plans on where to sleep. After a brew and a meal in town we made our way out Kane Creek Blvd along the Colorado River. A dirt road, very scenic, there are many places to camp along the way. This particular site was about 10 miles from where we turned on Hwy 191. I know this review says "Group Site", but I believe there are several Ledge Camping areas. Seems to me this one was "D". We just kept going down the road looking for "the one". Boy, did we find it! Gorgeous evening, breathtaking sunset, amazing stars.

The site we pulled into was against a bluff so that made for a good wind break. The wind does pick up as the sun goes down. We had a picnic table and fire pit with a grate. We were close to the bathroom, but not downwind. This was coolest open air vault design I have ever seen. Super clean but the smell was the worst I have ever encountered. Like, the sour smell that lingers in your nose for a long time after. You start to think that maybe you smell like that now.

No amenities, other than what's at your site and the vault. Bring your water. I would also imagine in the heat of summer, it would be pretty harsh. There is no tree cover, no shade. We did some fun exploring right there around the campground. Lots of rock scrambling, higher viewpoints, and access to the creek way below. It was a perfect spot for shoulder season and I will be back next time I venture to Moab.

Nice place only 10 miles from Moab

We camped at Tier 1, site 27 of the Ledge Campground system. There are about 6 different campgrounds within this area called Ledge: Tier 1,2,3,etc. The first has over thirty sites and are all well spaced with nice picnic tables and fire areas. Tier two is the largest with over 40 sites and the rest are smaller, all under 10 sites. We tent camped with two tents and there was adequate level space as well as a area large enough for a camper if you have one. There are few trees in ther area so bring something to provide cover/shade. The cliffs surrounding the campground are spectacular!

We camped here during Jeep Week, so this was a popular destination for the jeeping crowd, but the campground was not noisy.

The toilets look a bit strange from the outside but were quite clean and decent. Garbage dumpsters are provided.

Cost is $15 per night. Only 4 stars, wish there were more trees.
