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 arrived in Arches and spent the day exploring. Devils Garden looked fully booked on the recreation.gov website, so we were planning on finding some BLM first come first serve spots nearby but decided to check with the campground host to see if they had any cancellations. The campground host found us an available spot that had opened up and it was perfect! He was so helpful, the campsite was spacious and clean, and they even had flush toilets nearby. Only thing to note is it does get cold at night, don’t let the warm temps during the day fool you! We stayed here late September and it got down to the low 50s/upper 40s. Overall, great campground and wonderful campground host. Would definitely stay at Devils Garden again. :)

Loved the two nights spent at backpacking site #2. It was very secluded, couldn’t hear/see anyone at any point during our time at the campsite. It has a covered wooden structure, good sized bear box, picnic table, and fire ring. There is also a pit toilet ~50 feet from the campsite, though was in pretty rough shape so did not use that but didn’t really mind since most backpacking sites don’t have this luxury anyway and was not expecting to have a toilet in the first place. The campsite sits atop Moose “Mountain,” which is about a mile hike in from the group site parking lot. Don’t underestimate this hike in!! We are two people in our 20s and in pretty good shape, but with ~35lbs of gear on your back with a very steady incline up, definitely had to take a couple breaks. It was pretty rainy so there were some muddy spots that were relatively easy to avoid. With that being said, it was definitely worth it given the seclusion and privacy of this campsite. If able and willing to put in the extra effort, I would recommend the backpacking sites over the drive-in sites as I have heard they can be pretty cramped. Overall, very happy with BP#2 will definitely be back!
