Stay in the park and avoid the entry station every day, but bring lots of i

This park is in the northern part of Arches NP so you're 30 minutes or so from Moab. If you need ice, it means a trip to Moab when your ice melts. Surprisingly, Moab Ice is not in the park. Would be nice if they added a cooler at the campground or Visitor Center. Dead Horse Point SP near Canyonlands had Moab Ice. Yeah, it was $4/bag but that's better than a drive to Moab. I expect a national park to have ice.

Enough of my griping - that's really my only complaint. Park has water and bathrooms. Get your shower at the rec center in Moab for $5 (or $7 for a workout/shower, $5 for over 55).

Generators are allowed 8 to 10 am and 4 to 8 pm. There's always that guy who likes to stretch it. Camp hosts should be all over those people. Other than that, it was very quiet.

There are several arches nearby in Devil's Garden if you want to hike. Double O is the most challenging arch in that area. Not sure if Tapestry, Broken Arch and Sand Dune are part of Devil's Garden, but they are accessible at the far end of the campground and are nice hikes.

A favorite

We love that you can hike to beautiful arches right from the campground. The sites are nice and large, but there's not a ton of privacy or quiet because this is a hugely popular campground - for good reason, it's beautiful!

Desert camping at its finest!

Camping inside Arches National Park is as awesome as desert camping can be! It's almost like being on another planet entirely. You are surrounded by incredible rock formations and all kinds of desert life. There are numerous things to do while inside the park (hiking, biking, etc) and lots to do in the surrounding areas as well. The town of Moab is right outside the park, so there is really easy access to supplies if you need them (or if you want to camp and shop all in one weekend)! If you want to hike, the Fiery Furnace is a must! But you need a permit, so make sure to do this ahead of time. It's best to go in the spring or fall, but the park is really busy during these months. Be sure to reserve your campground in advance.

Beautiful views

Such a beautiful campground. We stayed at site 28 which I really enjoyed because there was no campsite to our left. On the right the site was fairly far away. Across our site over the road was a view of the La Sal mountains and the valley floor. Behind us was a very large sandstone rock formation so you really feel secluded. Bathrooms were a short walk away and fairly clean. Only "complaint" is the distance from moab (1 hr) which is inconvenient if you're into exploring the park along with the town. The site also seemed to act like a wind tunnel so it didn't help we arrived during a period of already high winds.

Alien Landscape

This park is a must if you are In Utah. the temperature was quite nice when I visited. The beauty of the campground speaks for itself when you come. the site was right alongside the road so at night you will get a flash of light. that was the only con about the site.

I stayed at this site for 3 days and it is necessary that reservations are made. The site was actually full at first but they later called us back saying that a spot opened up. The weather was quite funny. It as sunny and then it rained. After the rain the park was super beautiful. At night it was quite chilly and extra firewood should be brought.

I was able to hike the primitive trail. This trail was quite difficult even though it was only 2.2 miles. It was a lot of steep climbing to see arches. It was definitely worth it with the snapshots I was able to get

Windy but wonderful

We loved this campground but we gave 3 stars because it was super super super windy and we hear its this way frequently. Basic camping..Long ways into the park so if you want to get there during the day be advised. Also smart to make reservations books up quick like most national parks.

Quiet, scenic launching-off point to beat the crowds

Arches National Park is a good example of how you cannot underestimate the drive times in the national parks. Just the drive from the entrance and visitor center to the end of the park road is almost 40 minutes (and slower with traffic, tour buses, etc.) so any way that you can cut down that drive time (and thus, arrive at trailheads early in the morning!) is key.

The method that we discovered was great for accessing trails before the crowds was to camp in the scenic, spacious Devil’s Garden Campground at the end of the road through Arches National Park. 

Devil’s Garden is the only developed campground in Arches, and since backcountry hiking is not readily available, it is the best way to access trails and overlooks before the rush of visitors from Moab enter the park.  

Our campsite, #53, was wonderfully spacious and far away from our neighbors. We met friends, and our group’s two tents fit beautifully. The amenities are pretty much standard in the national park campgrounds, including flush toilets, a dishwashing station, site picnic tables, and potable water. The other great benefit included easy access to the park’s trails, which are very popular during this time of year.  

Highlights of our four-day Arches trip include: hiking to Delicate Arch before the mass crowds, getting self-guided permits to explore the Fiery Furnace area, and hiking to the far less-visited Tower Arch.

You can read much more about our four days in the park on our blog: Switchback Kids (Arches)

Would Definitely Recommend

My husband and I got in late at night and something went wrong with our reservation to where they double booked our site. The grounds supervisor was very apologetic and helpful in arranging another emergency site since the campground was full. The campground feels immersed in the red rock of the park and felt private enough from the other camp sites. By the way, the stars are incredible. It was also convenient for us to wake up and do the full Devil's Garden hike (my favorite hike in Arches) the next morning. We didn't mind the drive to the site as you get to see the park and you can make your way back on the way out. I would definitely stay here again.

Devils Garden ANP

We stayed at Devils Garden site 40 for 3 nights. The site was huge with large boulders for some shade early in the day. This site is well spaced from other campsites so you don't feel cramped. A short walk to the restrooms and water. My only negative about this Campground is that it's the last stop in the park. Expect at least a 30 minute drive from the entrance to the CG. If staying at this CG supply well so you don't have to leave the park.

Don't Miss It

Sure it's 20 miles from the main entrance, but there are incredible things to see the entire way. We spent a night the week before Christmas. Only part of the campground is open in winter and its first come, first serve. We arrived mid-afternoon and there were plenty of spaces available. Weather was clear/cold; we went on a couple of great hikes and really enjoyed our time here.

One of the best campsites in the country

Devil's Garden is at the end of a 20 mile scenic drive through Arches. The campground is small and awesome. We were in site 002, towards the beginning of the campsite so we were concerned about traffic coming and going but it wasn't an issue. We were close to the bathroom which I thought was fine but my female companion wished was cleaner. The bathroom is no reason to not book, though. In fact if, its one of the best campsites in the country, so its a no-brainer if sites are available. Book veeeery early! Oh and I think it may be closed summer of 2017 for renovations, bummer. Mountain views, access to awesome hikes, cool plants/trees/bushes, boulders, privacy, dark skies, you name it, Devil's Garden has it. Do it.

The only Campground in Arches, Reserve early!

I tried to reserve a site in Devil's Garden Campground in March to camp in July. It was full!!! So we were forced to camp in Moab Valley RV Resort, which ended up being an awesome place to camp. But while we were visiting the park I had to go scope out Devil's Garden Campground to see what I was missing.

Honestly, the campground has plenty of space and is very clean. The problem is there are no showers and it is almost 20 miles from the park entrance. It does have flush toilets. It is right next to the Sky Arch and it is a beautiful area. If you want scenery, book early and stay at Devil's Garden. If you want amenities and comfort, stay at Moab Valley RV Resort.

End of the road in Arches

Arches National Park needs no introduction. This is about as far into the park you can get with a car and worth making the reservation months in advance to camp here (luckily my friend had the reservation). There is water and flush toilets (you’ll appreciate that more after days in the desert). Sites are fairly spread out and much of the underbrush is pretty thick, though some sites do not have a lot of privacy. Make sure you bring a sky map (or a sky app), the Milky Way is so bright here it might keep you up all night.

Without a Doubt the most Phenomenal Place in the US!

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!

Beautiful, serene, remote.

Devils Garden campground, at the far end of Arches National Park, is a beautiful spot for a night or a week. You'll never tire of the views, or the many hiking trails nearby. The camp spots are nicely spaced, and if you come during off-season, you might even have the place to yourself. Take the landscape arch trail right from your camping spot, or head towards sand dune arch for an entirely different experience. Kids LOVE sanddune arch, and it's a great place to go to get away from the heat, or the wind.

More pleasant than it sounds

Devils garden is one of the main attractions in Arches national park. The camp ground is located to the right when first entering a parking lot. It is by appointment and I believe it's 30 a night. Very clean grounds and facilities and it's one of the few places you're allowed to have fires in the prk. Be aware that you must sign up for a spot far in advance as they fill up quickly.

Camping At Arches

This campground was a little removed from the main interest points of the park. It was small and primitive. Not a whole lot going on in camp loop. There is a bathroom but no showers. Generator use is limited in the loop. Of the Utah parks, it was my least favorite due to lack of transportation systems. If you drive an RV and don't have a tow vehicle this can be a challenge to get around. We made the best of it and went to thors hammer, double arch, etc. and hiked. Just so you know the sun is brutal in summer so bring a hat, sunscreen and lots of water before you start walking around here.

Worth the drive

It is a very long drive from the park entrance to get to this campsite but it is completely worth it. Each site has a firepit and a bench along with an incredible view. You can pull your car right up to your site then go a little ways back from the road to find a space to pitch your tent. After getting set up make sure to take a hike and check out some of the incredible rock formations accessible right from the campsites. They have a water pump and bathrooms at a central location and the sites are spread out enough though there is not much actual privacy due to the lack of trees.

Amazing Campsite

I really loved this spot. The best spots are at the very top of the hill at the end of the road. Those spots offer a 360 degree view of the desert floor to the west, and the mountains to the east. Depending on how far you want to walk, there is access to several of the park's arches right from the campsite. Beware of Ravens! They are extremely cunning and can open up food packaging and rubber maid type storage totes. I recently visited all of the National Parks in Utah & Texas and this was my favorite campsite.
