Goblin Valley State Park Campground

Hot dry but nice shade at each campsite

I stayed at the campground for one night. As with all Utah State Parks we have stayed the place was clean and well maintained. I am so impressed with Utah State Parks.

Though we tend to prefer a more low-key experience, GBSP camping is beautiful and the sites are well taken care of. If you're fortunate enough, snag a site adjacent the sweet rocks. Level sites w shades at the picnic tables. The bathroom has running hot and cold water, and there are showers available. Expensive, but the fee includes entry to the state park.

3 nights in Yurt 1. Coolest yurt location of any we’ve stayed in previously. Beautiful canyon. Heater worked well. There are a couple electrical receptacles. BBQ works well. Fire pit and picnic table are great. The park office has ice and firewood. Everything was great about our stay, EXCEPT… mice. The yurt management should either let guests know this in advance, or set some traps and take care of the problem. Make sure and only store food in mice proof containers, otherwise they will infiltrate.

Great facility. Many options for hiking, off road FWD. 

Also darkest point in US for star gazing. No lights visible for 10 miles.

The Goblins absolutely amazing

Only 24 sites makes this one of the hardest campgrounds in Utah to book. If you’re lucky enough to get in then you are going to love Goblin Valley. All of the sites come equipped with a shade structure, picnic table & fire ring. Best sites are on the out side of the loop, with the cliffs right behind you. No hook ups, but the is potable water & dump station. Small visitor center/store offers a few essentials. Very hot & windy when we were there in June. Dark skies offer amazing star gazing. Clean bathrooms and free, private showers.

This park is truly a hidden gem! It was fun walking through the goblins and the park is dog friendly!

This place is so cool! Truly never seen anything like it. Tent sights are great and nestled in the rocks. We drive in with no reservation and we’re able to find a spot. The yurt spots are really something special though! There’s also a cool frisbee golf course in the camp ground.

Goblin Valley is like you’re visiting another planet! Our site was beautiful, restrooms and showers were clean. Park was quiet at night and DARK! Our kids especially loved this park, being able to climb around in the hills behind our site.

Honestly so thankful we stumbled upon this campground. First of all, gorgeous views and quiet. Second, clean and facilities were GREAT. Showers were clean and bathrooms were great. Lots of shade in camp areas with the awnings there. Fire pits with options to purchase firewood at gate. Access to trails right by the grounds. And THE STARS. THE STARS WERE AMAZING AT NIGHT!! You MUST stay here!!

The campground had shaded picnic tables, fire pit areas, and bathrooms with showers. It is small enough and the sites are spaced out nicely. We had great views from our spot and could easily access the goblins.

There are only 11 asphalt paved RV camp sites. There are 14 tent sites.
Each site has a covered pavilion with a picnic table, fire ring and a tent site. Drinking water is located throughout the campground. The bathrooms have flushing toilets and hot water in the sinks. They are spotless! The showers are equally as clean. There are no bad views here! The hiking and biking trails are right there. This one is one of my favorites! Go!

Words cannot do this place justice. It's a bit off the main highway and mostly locals know about it. You can climb all over the hoodoos. There's even a disc golf course!

Site 12 is the best site.You are tucked into the slot canyon itself. You feel like you are camping with no neighbors. Wild Horse slot canyon is a popular hike right outside the park. In addition if you feel like you need a swim check out Swaseys Beach. About an hour away it's a beach on the Green River.And who wouldn't want to enjoy the water on a hot day.

Good shelters, cool spots, amazing scenery. A little out of the way, but quite worth it. Be sure to include Little Wild Horse Bell Canyon if you want to see some slot canyons.

Such a cool place. Drive out and wander amongst the goblins (small hoodoos) before you tuck in for a night of fantastic star watching. Sites are not private but are nested next to a small desert wall stacked with goblins. The layout is reminiscent of a Martian colony with small shaded huts for each site. Bathrooms standard. Noticed a few ants. Not a serious problem.

This is a typical desert campsite with nicely shaded picnic tables, running water, and showers. It is great if you want to see the goblins early or late. If you camp outside the park you might not be able to see the formations under the stars. Expect it to be hot and dusty. The camp is right up against the bluffs so the kids can be entertained, albeit they'll get dirty.

There are dry and dusty dispersed BLM camps nearby if you don't feel like you need to support preserving the unique geological features of the park with your fee dollars.

Like being on an alien planet...campgrounds have great selection & views, the rock formations are so intricate, the colors and soft sand...just loved it

The Goblin Valley State Park Campground is a great place to stay located "off the beaten path". It is well-maintained, has flat and easily accessible sites that are spaced apart to allow for some privacy even across the open terrain. The backdrop of the rock formations is incredibly beautiful and unique. Water and restrooms are accessible from all campsites. Restrooms are cleaned daily and have sinks, toilets and separate shower rooms all included in the camping fee. Each site has parking for 2 vehicles, tent pad, picnic table on a cement pad covered by a wind/sun blocker, and a firepit with grill.  The campground is quiet and offers the benefit of being in a dark sky park. It doesn't get much better than this!

The drive there is magnificent and then you get there and you feel like you’re on another planet. Great place for families, and couples. Definitely come prepared with water and food, gas stations are at least 50 miles away from what I remember.

Had a great time in Goblin Valley. Camping was affordable and so pretty. The night sky was unbeatable. At the time the bathrooms and showers were closed but there was a bathroom open by the yurts. We stayed in an RV lot which was a few minutes from the trail heads. Excited to come back with bikes to see more of the area. Fire pits and fires allowed. No cell service but an amazing way to see Utah without the Moab traffic. It’s a small park with a small visitor center and a handful of trails, but they all make up for the size with their unique views. And, valley of the goblins has no trails so you can wander all day.

Goblin Valley is a drive, but a beautiful State Park Campsite. The amazing formations are on your doorsteps! There are 24 site campground, 1 group site, and 2 yurts with centrally located restroom and shower facilities. Yes, I said showers!! And pretty clean and maintained showers/ restrooms. Because of the limited numbers of campsites, do plan ahead. You will need to stay a few days!! And if you enjoy mountain biking!! Don’t forget to carry it.. there are many off roading bike routes! This place is very much kid friendly.

If the weather is right, visit the Wild Horse Slot Canyon, 8 miles round trip. There are so many trails and hikes in the surrounding area. Have fun!!

Utah has such a wide variety of geology and Goblin Valley campground is in the middle of it. Sites are a bit close together, but they have shelters over the tables and there are some walk-in tent sites that are more secluded. Nice, free showers too.

This was a quick weekend trip and this place blew me away! The campsite (site 3) was nestled right by some rocks which blocked the morning sun (major plus). Some campsite parking spots, like ours, were like 20 yards away from the car, but some were right next to the site. Bathrooms are clean and there are clean showers too. Each site has a nice fire pit with grill and a metal canopy and large picnic table. Can hike around right off the campsite or go to the valley or drive to wild horse canyon. Firewood available at visitor center. Water was on boil advisory Aug 2020 so call and check bc its 30-45 min to the nearest city. No ice available.

I went here with my family a few years ago and we all had such a good time! It was so fun to explore Goblin Valley and get a little dirty! A good plan for all ages and truly beautiful!

Each tent site has a pad and a shelter that has a shade panel. There is no parking next to the site, but it is small walk to the site. The tent sites are spaced far apart and some are tucked behind the Goblins.

There is a good restroom facility with running water and showers that do not need a token or coins. There are 4 showers. Overall, this is a great place to stay.
