ARCHES National Park is beyond description. Its the weirdest, coolest, strangest, spookiest place I've ever been. I cannot do it justice but wow, what a spot.

This campground is cool because there is actually shade (as opposed to a lot of the rest of the park). It gets ungodly hot in the dead of summer but I heard that winters are quite cold too. According to a friendly waiter in Moab, Arches is the busiest during the fall and spring months.

Once you are in the park (only one entrance), you will still have to drive a good 20-30 minutes to get to Devil's Garden. This is the area with the famous Landscape Arch (not as spectacular as Delicate but pretty amazing nonetheless). There are picnic tables and small grills (not the big open wood fire ones, little tiny ones for a propane tank or so). They are pretty easy going about pitching multiple tents on a site, and you have privacy within the campground. This spot fills up quick during the peak months so book in advance or check last minute for cancellations. No showers or "general stores" so come prepared!
