Horsethief Campground

Best camping so far on our 5 month road trip. Loved this site, spacious, with amazing views MTB trails out of the campsite plus great hikes Sunsets and star gazing just phenomenal……….. We started our Moab experience at Dead Horse SP but preferred horse thief and stay 9 nights- can’t recommend this site enough we will be sure to return

BLM campground that can accommodate most RV’s and tents. Sites are generally spacious, level and include a tent pad. Bike and hike trails available. The park does not have water or electricity but does have nice vault toilets that are well maintained and clean. The sites are generally well spaced. There are separate group a tent as well. I have stayed here 4 times and had a good experience.

A week earlier while visiting Canyonlands NP we decided to stop here to camp on our way back home from Yellowstone NP. We got in late and easily found a decent tent site. It's quiet, clean and the star viewing was terrific. Sunrise was beautiful! After packing up, we drove around the campground to find better sites for our next visit. We'll be back!

We stayed here for a night after spending the day in Canyonlands. It’s a very nice, quiet campground with plenty of space. The vault toilets were well taken care of, and the sites were nice and sizeable.

Area was good for a last minute stop. Well kept.

Very nice CG. Perfect for mtb crowd as the CG is a hub for MTB trails. Vault toilets, tables, fire rings, dumpster, but no water. Cell signal depends on your location. All sites are FCFS no reservations.

Many sites to choose from each with a table and fire ring. Pit toilets were clean. MTB trails throughout.

Well maintained gravel road about a mile off of main hwy (313). My trailer is only 20 ft but sites can handle much larger trailers. Sites had fire ring and table. T mobile service was ok. Very well maintained campground with very helpful host.

Great BLM campsite near Canyonlands and Dead Horse. Plenty of spots available with good sized campsites with fire ring and picnic table. There is a tent only side which was great to not have noisy generator sound. Beautiful sunset views. Only downside - 3 black widow spiders seen in the pit toilets!!! Be aware before you sit!

We camped here as we were exploring Canyon Lands. Since it's BLM, all of the sites were first come first serve. It was a Friday night and there were still tons of sites available.

We got in and set up before sunset and got to watch the sky burn as the sun went down.

Host was very friendly and informative. Had firewood for sale for a few dollars a bundle as well.

Sites were well spaced out and had quite a bit of room for activities - tables, tent pads, fire pits. There were bathrooms on site as well.

I will for sure be coming back here. 10/10

Close to Canyonlands and Arches and perfect for our late night visit to Astro fest at Canyonlands!

Very popular campground in mid October! Moab area was very busy! The campground was full so we checked the group camp. Someone had cancelled. The board on site had not been updated but the website (BLM) said that group site D had switched to FCFS. With 2 trailers and 4 people we were able to be a group. We tucked both our trailers in easily. (21 ft and 25ft). Sits atop a mesa with expansive views. Great stargazing !the main campground was lovely too. There were some small sites and some that big rigs could fit. No Verizon Service. Easy access to Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands NP.

The RV side was already full so I opted to stay on the tent/small vehicle side with my camper van. Space 6 was on an incline for parking. I tried to park horizontally but they made me move and said the officer would write me a ticket if I wasn’t on the gravel. Fire pit was nice. Picnic table. Close to the bathroom.

Tent camping in October, area was clean and pleasant. No covering to get away from the sun. Would only camp here during the summer as a last resort or if I pack shade.

This campground goes above and beyond in terms of dispersed camping. Sites have a decent amount of space, each with table and fire ring, bathrooms are pit toilets but very clean. Check in is easy. Firewood available from host for $5. Great access to Arches and Canyonlands. Easy and beautiful drive to Moab. Plenty of available sites on a Friday afternoon in late September. Despite some rain, beautiful night skies.

Really enjoyed our stay at this campground. Plenty of room and there was not much competition for sites in the tent only loop first weekend of June. Site 24 is the best in my opinion due to ample shade and it’s proximity to the restroom. It is also second from last on the loop meaning you won’t be disturbed by returning traffic. Got decent verizon service there which was nice. MTB trails leave from the RV loop and took a second to find the trailhead but found some nice beginner trails to practice.

Easy drive to Canyonlands and Arches/Moab, both just about 30 minutes. Definitely a great staging spot for your adventure!

A BLM road leads you to the campground from HWY 313. Groups site available and individual spots with up to 2 vehicles and 10 persons. I stayed at the individual site. Bathroom facilities were available and one of the cleanest I've experienced from any campground. $20 a night $10 with an access pass.

We held a small family reunion here on one of the four group sites, 12 people in total. The location is perfect for exploring both Arches and Canyonlands, and the bathrooms are clean and convenient to the sites. We had six tents on one group site, and had a fire in the fire pit each morning and night. This is definitely our family’s new default home base for future explorations.

Horsethief CG is a large BLM CG, no reservations, only FF, about 50+ spots in original CG but 25 more in the new loop for tenters and van/truck campers. Mt bike trails leave right from the CG to Navajo Rocks or to Mustang loops. This CG is dry camping, NO water so come prepared. There are vault toilets and a large dumpster at CG entrance. Sites have tables and fire rings. Cell signal is best along the upper loops close to the Mineral Point road. Verizon, ATT and TMobile all two bars LTE. UPDATE: BLM has installed a new remote pay system that uses CC and prints site# receipts..very cool!!

If you're looking for a well-kept paid campground outside of Moab, this is the place. There are trails through the campground and many, many options for biking near by. Fairly close to Dead Horse State Park as well! Likely very hot in the summer months, not a lot of shade up there.

Stayed for two nights

Well kept, relatively even spots, it is located on a bit of a hill but that just makes for gorgeous sky views!

Dogs on a leash, dumpster right outside campground, camp host on site for questions

Spaced out well

I didn’t have any verizon coverage

The road in is dirt but smooth

Make sure you can back in to your site if you have a trailer

I felt very very safe!

This campground is a great place to base from to visit Canyonlands, Deadhorse Canyon, and many nearby mt bike and hiking trails. Restrooms are clean. Stargazing is amazing.

Near miles of mountain bike trails. Clean, well-stocked pit toilets. No water or shade. Sites are decently separated but with few bushes and trees, it's easy to see and hear other people. Poor cell service at my site but better elsewhere in the campground.

Had a really good cell signal and was able to work using my AT&T hotspot. You have to drive around and find the right spot because my signal fluctuated from 1-3 bars. You’re on the mesa so it’s a little chillier than in Moab. Very clean vault toilets, biking trails, and location is great right outside the entrance to Canyonlands! Would definitely stay again.

There are only a few sites that have any shade cover. This wasn’t a problem for us since we have a canopy but may be for others. The stars at night here are truly incredible to see. Would stay again. Very close to canyonlands and dead horse point state park. Arches and Moab are also accessible, but a bit further. Plenty of space between sites.

Easy to find, seemed highly organized and worth the $20/night. There weren’t a ton of people out there when we were there but we could sometimes hear other campers which was fine. We never had neighbors on either side of us, everyone was pretty spread out. There are some great hiking and mountain biking trail networks surrounding the campsite. We didn’t have any kids with us but other campers did and the campsite is super kid friendly. End of June is super hot there so during the day we took quick day trips to Canyonlands and Deadhorse national parks which was a great way to spend the hottest part of the days. The evenings and nights are so pretty here. Will absolutely be back!

Great campground all around. Went in end of June 2021 and it was not busy at all. Only downside was that there was a fire ban when we went. Highly recommend.

Great campsite back in September 2020.

Plenty of available spots when we got there. Restrooms are vault toilets and no sinks or showers in the loop we were in.
