Island In The Sky (Willow Flat) Campground — Canyonlands National Park
Reviewed Jun. 3, 2022

So Beautiful

This is a great first come first served campground right in Canyonlands NP. There are 12 sites that are $15/night, no host but ranger came by each morning. 

Sites have varying degrees of size and levelness with one pull through site. Each site has a nicely covered picnic table and a fire pit with grill. The parking spots and loop are paved. There is trash only (no recycling), vault toilets and a self pay kiosk.

 The campground is a .1 mile short walk to Green River overlook so there is quite a bit of traffic but it was not loud. This is a great campground to stay at and drive or bike like we did to explore the park. 

This campground does fill up fast so morning is your best bet to get a spot at least during peak season. We’ve stayed here in February and we were the only ones at the campground, but when we stayed in October each site filled up quickly. 

No cell reception in campground but some parts of the park does have limited reception, and the cell booster helped the verizon phone slightly.

NOTE: We witnessed several people pull into the campground and into either an empty site (one instance of someone using a paid for site) and stop to eat at the picnic tables. So if you drive through looking for a spot and it looks like someone is doing this and not setting up camp then ask if they are staying. You might just get lucky and snag a spot!
