Amazing views, good value

This $20/night BLM campground has a nice setup with good spacing between the sites, great views, and restrooms and garbage spread decently across the campground so no one area is overused/busy or annoying to the surrounding sites. We arrived pretty late in the day and so ended up fairly close to a restroom and there were no issues (even with our always on alert dogs who like to announce any intruding forces they can sense are invading their territory).

We were setting up during golden hour and the sunset was amazing. The night sky even more so—completely clear and gorgeous views of all the constellations.

It was a pretty quiet campground, even being almost full (we stayed on a Tuesday night, though, so could imagine it being louder on the weekend). The campground was arranged in two different areas, a tent only side and an RV/tent side with sites that all had good, fairly flat parking pads for RVs, as well as tent pad, fire pit, and picnic table. We still needed to do little leveling of our small RV, but not too bad.

Usually, we tend to avoid campgrounds in favor of dispersed camping, but we were tired, we needed a site with quick access to Canyonlands in the morning and honestly just didn’t feel like driving around searching as it was getting dark. We’d definitely stay again in similar circumstances, but would probably check out the dispersed camping in the area if we had more time to devote.
