Kayenta Campground — Dead Horse Point State Park

We love this park! Great hiking right from the campground. Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, clean bathrooms and close to Canyonlands National Park. We really enjoyed our stay here, hiking most of the trails and also visiting Canyonlands Island in the Sky area. Utah does state parks well!

We loved the large tent pads and covered dining area with pantry (yes, a pantry!). The staff kept the campground clean and tidy. We found it to be an excellent base camp while exploring the Moab area, including Arches and Canyonlands.

$50 is a lot for a campsite but the bathrooms are clean and the visitor center has Wi-Fi. They have trash bins but you have to bring your own water. No showers. Convenient location.

Amazing park with incredible views. Nice visitors center, lots of trails, and large clean laundry building.

Our site was ADA09 in the Kayenta

First, camp sites at Kayenta were very clean. I’ve never seen a fire pit perfectly cleaned out like they were. As soon as people left they raked the surrounding area and cleaned the site. Location was close to trails and absolutely amazing views.

We had to recharge our house battery and our VW van so we stopped in to this park for an evening. Unfortunately, no showers but overall the park is really well-maintained and clean. Excellent bathrooms. Excite sites. Not close together. Would definitely come again.

Stunning scenery. Get up close with the beautiful night sky. It was something else. No water hookup so make sure you are full. Quiet and clean. One to remember.

Not to be missed. So scenic. Plenty of hiking options. Especially beautiful at sunrise and  sunset- with the added benefit of cooler temperatures in the summer. Camp sites make use of the limited land available well. Highly recommended.

Campground was beautiful! Large sites, beautiful views, clean, awesome camp hosts. Trail from campground to beautiful overlook. Close to Moab, Arches, Canyonlands.

For years I visited Dead Horse Point State Park, but only last year after I bought a camper van did I stay there. Undeniably one of my favorite places. It’s a little pricey to camp, but worth it in my opinion. Bring water as there is none at the two campgrounds. The restrooms are clean with flush toilets. Hiking is over the top spectacular on the trail adjacent to the campground.

My wife & I didn't get a chance to stay here because it was already booked up, but will make arrangements for next time. Beautiful campground nestled in Dead Horse Point State Park. It's clean and best of all dogs are welcome at the State Park!

The Kayenta campground can accept all size rigs but larger ones would be better in the newer campground up the road.

We liked being able to hike right from the campground.  The hosts kept the part amazingly clean.  The location is great for visiting the Island in the Sky part of Canyonlands NP.

We would stay again.  We were there at the end of October/early November for 4 days and that wasn't enough.

Pretty campground. Great shelters and bathrooms but so windy that we could not keep our tent down. Sand was flying everywhere and into our food. Will not be back.

Beautiful campsite, well maintained. Quiet and dark, bring head lamps. Great hiking from campsight. Everything was clean and well kept up.

This is one of two CG's in Dead Horse SP. They are within walking distance to each other. Kayenta is the older one. The hosts take really good care of this place. The fire pit and grill were totally clean. The pad with sun shade was swept and the gravel was even raked. The sunscreen was nice to have and the pad was concrete with the picnic table. It was all easily accessed from the parking spot which was paved. The tent area looked nice to but we didn't use that. There was power at the site and water available around the CG. The restrooms were some of the cleanest we've ever seen. You will need to get a reservation for this CG. It fills up pretty quick during the high volume seasons. The CG has trails leading right from the site to the rim of the canyon. You can do 5+ miles if you wish all the way up and around the point. Like I said some incredible views of the canyon and Colorado river below.

Close to dead horse point, and just a short drive from Moab. Very nice campground with blacktop roads, flushing toilets, fire rings, and level tent spots filled with sand.

Stayed here in 2017, camp host was a little overzealous about parking that added a damper to the stay, planning on going back this October hopefully a better experience. Stunning location, reserve well in advance.

Great spot at Dead Horse state park in between Canyonlands (15 minutes) and Arches (30 minutes). Has shade cover (with lockable pantry cupboard!), picnic table, fire pit, grill, tent pad, and electric hookup. Most people had RVs and there was a waste site at the entrance. We were tent camping two nights and enjoyed our stay. The bathroom was a bit of a walk from our site #18 (located by site #9), but they were individual rooms with flush toilet and sink. There was also a sink washing/water bottle filling station. We would definitely stay here again.

This campsite was the perfect spot to rest in between visits to Canyonlands NP and Arches NP, as well as Moab, UT. It only had community water and no showers, so that was slightly inconvenient, but the location was perfect.

Extremely close to canyonlands national park if you don’t get a site inside of the park. Each site has its own little hut and picnic table at it. They offer both electric and non electric sites. All in all a great experience. Would recommend to anyone heading out to canyonlands.

This campground/park is awesome!  The campground is well spaced out and has nice pads for tents.  It also has nice covered picnic tables.  The bathrooms have full plumbing and there is an area to wash any dishes you may have.

Couldn’t ask for a cooler location.  The campground is right on the edge of a canyon and a small drive/walk will take you to spectacular views.

While this was a bit more expensive ($43) than we are accustomed to paying for a campsite, we opted to stay here due to the close proximity to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. That said, after spending a night in the campground and exploring the park the following day, we felt it was well-worth the cost. 

Our campsite was private and had its own picnic table and shelter, which included a light and lockable cupboard for food and other items. Each campsite has a fire pit and grill, though we used neither due to the burning ban. The bathrooms were very clean. Kayenta has some spectacular views, especially at sunset. Overall, five stars from us!

Great place to stay if near Canyonlands NP or just in general. Great view, great spot.

Book in advance as it fills up quickly! Dead Horse Point is a beautiful state park that looks like a smaller version of the Grand Canyon. The campground is small but there is some privacy between sites. We camped in our tent but saw RV's and campers there. There was a picnic table under a roof so we had some shelter when it rained.

There arent many amenities in any of the campgrounds in this part of the country. The best review I can give is that the pit toliets are very clean and big. Its so quiet and dark at night that u can hear everything and aee every star! It truly is heaven. There r bike trails in the campground. Im not a rider so I can't review them but a lot of people used them as my site was next to the trail head.

A perfect prelude to going into Canyonlands NP. Situated right at the start of the NP, it has amazing trails and campsites to support all needs.

I know. The deserts of Utah and I’m complaining about shade. Great location at Deadhorse and right on the cusp of Canyonlands and near Arches and Moab. Great views of the stars

We love the views of Canyonlands, the proximity to Arches, Moab and Canyonlands and just the great vibe of the campground. Definitely will be back!
