Description

National Park

Arches National Park

Overview

Devils Garden Campground is located deep within the heart of beautiful Arches National Park in Southeastern Utah, at an elevation of approximately 5200 ft.. The campground is situated among natural sandstone arches and fins and is only 18 miles north of the park's entrance and 23 miles from Moab, Utah.

Recreation

Hiking trails are abundant in Arches, including the Broken Arch Trail, a scenic loop with a trailhead conveniently located within the campground. Trails are varied and offer something for everyone, from the easy 0.3-mile loop around Balanced Rock to the steep and strenuous 3-mile round-trip trail to Delicate Arch. Other recreational activities in the park include guided hiking tours of the Fiery Furnace, an off-road vehicle route, road biking and picnicking.

Natural Features

The campground is forested with mixed stands of Utah juniper and pinyon pine. Flowering prickly pear cacti, yucca and other desert wildflowers dot the landscape, offering vivid color to the surrounding red rock desert. Arches National Park has the highest concentration of natural arches in the world. Over 2,500 of these unusual rock formations can be found here. Towering spires, fins and balanced rocks complement the arches, creating a remarkable assortment of landforms in a relatively small area. The park is within an arid, high desert environment with hot summers and cold winters.

Nearby Attractions

Southeastern Utah offers breathtaking scenery, hiking, road and mountain biking opportunities, rafting and scenic driving routes. Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park are within a 45-minute drive of Arches' entrance. Moab offers numerous restaurants, shops and museums. The desert around Moab is a mountain biker's dream, with hundreds of miles of slickrock and single-track trails for all riding abilities.

Amazing campground right in Arches!

We arrived in Arches and spent the day exploring. Devils Garden looked fully booked on the recreation.gov website, so we were planning on finding some BLM first come first serve spots nearby but decided to check with the campground host to see if they had any cancellations. The campground host found us an available spot that had opened up and it was perfect! He was so helpful, the campsite was spacious and clean, and they even had flush toilets nearby. Only thing to note is it does get cold at night, don’t let the warm temps during the day fool you! We stayed here late September and it got down to the low 50s/upper 40s. Overall, great campground and wonderful campground host. Would definitely stay at Devils Garden again. :)

Ravens

This is the Ravens home; we are just visitors. Seriously, don't sleep on the Ravens. They are always watching. This place is very hard to book for two nights in a row, so consider yourself lucky if you can live here for a couple days. It was quite nice. I think I saw only one or two other multi-night campers. This gives you the freedom to enjoy the park during less crowded time since it is right outside your door. Some sites are better suited for tents and some for RVs. I didn't have many expectations for this Park, but it is truly amazing and beautiful to explore. The La Sal mountains to the east are nice too.

Absolutely gorgeous place to live for a few days! We did daycamp on our site, but chose to leave our RV in town with services. It was fun to camp on the ground under the full moon though! Absolutely breathtaking skywatching experience. I hope the children always remember fondly - traveling in the heat of July gave the odds a 50/50 though... No electric, so bring solar or a generator.

Gorgeous Campground At The Back Of Arches National Park

Here you're high up and amongst the beautiful sandstone formations of Arches National Park.

The campground: This is the only campground inside the National Park, and it is located at the very back of the Park. Be warned, traffic often backs up at the entrance to the National Park. Once inside the Park, the drive from the Visitor's Center to the campground can take between 30-60 minutes depending on traffic. Staying here is one of the best ways to explore the Park. There's a trailhead not far from the campground, and being able to wake up inside the park allows you to skip the entrance traffic and get a head start before the crowds flood in.

My campsite had a large concrete pad for parking, a picnic table, and a firepit. The area I set up my tent was dirt, but here that basically means sand. Be ready to have sand everywhere (totally worth it though). I had nightly deer visitors that enjoyed munching on the juniper nearby. The bathroom for my site was a 1-2 minute walk. The bathrooms consisted of flush toilets, sinks, a large outdoor sink for dishes, plus access to drinking water.

The area: If you're traveling from 70, there's not a ton between 70 and the entrance to Arches National Park, but Moab is only about ten minutes from the Park entrance. Arches National Park is vast. It has plenty of scenic spots to pull over on the drive between the entrance and the campground, and lots of different trails to hike with varying difficulty. Even if you're not a hiker you can still enjoy the beauty of this place.

Booking: I camped here in the offseason (November) when it's first-come first-served, and arrived on a day where there was no host. So, once I found my spot, I put my payment in an envelope found near the host entrance. It's worth noting that on days where there's no campground host or park ranger, you cannot buy firewood at the campground.

Cell service: Verizon was unreliable. Sometimes I would have enough service to stream a hockey game, and other times, in the exact same spot I'd have almost no service.

Peaceful solitude in a land of extremes

The First thing i can recommend is to visit here in an off month of weather even in October it can be hot and crowded though October is much milder when it comes to this place. There is nothing like the parks of Utah they are truly incredible and unmatched around the world. Arches is a land of extremes and its utterly stunning being the bottom of a ocean bed. I wish i could come back here every year. With it being a dark sky park the night time is just brilliant as the park is during the daytime.

Crowded during Busy Season

This campground is first come first served in the winter season, and we were easily able to find a spot without a reservation during the winter.  At this time, however, Arches has a timed entry program so be sure to look into that before heading to this park.

There are flush toilets, water bottle fills, garbage bins, and aluminum and plastic recycling (no glass).

 There is firewood for sale, on certain days only, using a q code on your phone to pay for it, not sure how it works, seems complicated. 

Cell service comes and goes as you go through the park and the campground. We had no service in spot #52 but our cell booster gave us full bars of LTE on Verizon and ATT. Site #52 is at the end of the loop and was pretty private. Also, the trail to the Broken Arch begins right at this spot. 

Fee is $25/night, and there is a 7 day stay limit within 30 days, and 14 days total per year.

Awesome camping amongst the Arches

Found an awesome spot with some decent privacy. A great base camp from which to explore all the arches. There is also a trail leading directly out of the campground for local adventure. I came in winter, so half the campground was closed down, but there was still plenty of spots. Clean bathrooms, garbage available. Fire pit and picnic table at most sites.

Wonderful Campground in the Heart of Arches National Park

Devil's Garden Campground is a beautiful place in the heart of Arches NP. There are even arches seen from the amphitheater and several more on hikes that start at the campgrounds. We saw several deer. Wood is available but we skipped the fire as the wind was pretty strong and when the sun set it got chilly in November at 5,200 feet. 

The sites are pretty level with a picnic table and a fire ring at each. In November it is no reservations with first come first served basis. The cost was low: $25 or $12.50 with my Sr. discount. It was a great base camp for seeing more of the park. If we had the time I would have spent a week here. There is a camp host on site and water and flush toilets. No electric, sewer or other hookups. No showers. But the location is worth it. If you go during the more popular months, you will need reservations long in advance as there are only 51 sites.

Next level campground with amazing views

Only campground located inside the park, and it's a must if you want to see the entirety of Arches!  Our site was well shaded, large, and private.  Couldn't have been happier with our site.  After a long day of hiking, it's nice to come back to some shade and solitude. This gave us easy access to all the trails in the park.  Ranger shows were awesome! Shout out to Ranger Lance. If you're trying to check out Canyonlands as well, I'd recommend staying further south.  The drive from this campsite down to Canyonlands is about an hour each way.  Supplies can be bought in Moab.

An experience you will never forget

We were fortunate enough to book this campground for one night on July 4th. There are great views of the mountains and arches that you can walk to from your campsite. The amphitheater where they hold events is right in front of a large arch. The bathrooms are clean and well placed so it isn't too bad a walk from the majority of the sites.  My tip: you will have to book way in advance to get a site but plan to book during a new moon.

Stunning!

Got lucky and nabbed a reservation only one week before our arrival. Spent 4 nights mid-May at site 22. Huge site at the top of the hill with 360 degree views. We could have put up three large tents easily in the surrounding sandy areas. It also has a very large flat paved parking area with the picnic table up out of the sand. One of the group sites sits between this site and the restrooms, but there is a nice divide and we hardly noticed when we had neighbors. We spent a lot of time relaxing on top of the rock fin behind our site. As there was a clear view of the La Sal Mountains, we also got decent 5G AT&T signal from the rocks when needed. We have short camping chairs that let us fit under the small tree for some shade in the afternoon. Being on top of the hill, the wind did pick up in the late afternoon each day. That was a little frustrating with all the sand. I made the mistake of leaving the covers unzipped on the tent windows the first afternoon and sand leaked into the tent through the mesh. Also, the only water faucet is by the restroom, so make sure you have a good container to carry water.
