This BLM campground is situated upon the plateau road near the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. It offers a variety of simple individual and group sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and varying degrees of privacy. The bathrooms are all pit toilets, and kept very clean. Water can be found at the National Park visitor’s center, or in the State Park, or back in town at the town park or outdoor gear store.  If you run on solar like we do, you are guaranteed plenty of power.

These campsites are awesome because of their proximity to the hiking, cycling, slick rock mountain biking, rock climbing and paddling opportunities, that the Moab area is known for. The view from any campsite upon the plateau is a stunner and makes you think that $20 a night is a pretty good bargain, and with the cooler temperatures than the canyon below! Moab offers all the amenities of a small town that thrives on tourism without the sprawling consumerism of the suburbs. If you can’t get it there, you probably don’t need it. 

Arches National Park is about 30-40 minutes away. The entrance to the Islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park, as well as Dead Horse State Park, are within 20 minutes.
