Managed by the Bureau of Land Management within the campgrounds just outside BLM Land — Moab Field Office, Fisher Towers Campground sits at the end of a 2.4-mile gravel road that climbs through red rock desert before opening onto a small cluster of sites beneath some of the tallest desert towers in the United States. The Titan, one of the formations directly above camp, tops 700 feet. No reservations. No host on site.
The five first-come, first-served sites are tent-only, with a maximum of 10 people per site and a fee of around $20 per night via self-registration. Each site has a metal fire ring with a grill attachment and a heavy-duty picnic table. A vault toilet is available at the campground, and a second one sits at the nearby trailhead. No water is on-site, which Frost R. flags directly: "No water is available at the site." Bring everything you need to drink, and plan to pack out all waste.
The road in warrants attention. It's gravel and washboarded, with at least one steep pitch that becomes slick when wet. Multiple reviewers note that standard passenger cars have managed it in dry conditions, but four-wheel drive is recommended when the road is wet or snow-covered. The campground has a posted vehicle length limit of 22 feet, and the tight turnaround at the end makes anything larger than 18 feet impractical. Cell coverage is spotty at the campground level, though some visitors report better signal from higher ground along the trail.
The 2.2-mile Fisher Towers trail departs from directly across the road and leads to a viewpoint above the canyon. Nearby Onion Creek provides off-road vehicle access and additional terrain to explore. Campers looking for nearby alternatives can consider Upper Onion Creek Campground or BLM Lower Onion Creek Camping Area, both within a few miles along the same road corridor.
