Grandstaff Campground

Location is five stars, the road noise and traffic is a deterrent.

The Grandstaff campground is in a great location if you plan to ride porcupine rim (ride into Moab and up through the Sand Flats rec area first, finish at camp), or if you plan to hike the Negro Bill canyon trail (it's literally across the street!). This campground is perfect for tents or cab-over-campers. Trailers would not be ideal. Unfortunately, the BLM has had to remove a lot of the bushes and invasive tamarisk, so the campground is sparse, but in a few years, it should be much better as they've replanted with native plants. The new paved biking path that runs along 128 is a positive addition to the area, and you'll be able to enjoy it right from your camp spot! If you've never hiked Negro Bill, find a spot at this campground, and do it. It's shady, protected from some of the winds that Moab sees during Spring and Fall, has plenty of water to splash in, and is beautiful! Read the signs posted at the trailhead, as there IS poison ivy in negro bill canyon area.
