Without 4WD, there are less dispersed camping spots in Moab compared to the past. Many popular spots are now charging fees. This one remains free and is located just south of the city. You have to drive on this road until you see the signs allowing camping. From there, there are many pull offs. We chose one of the first ones we found as it was cold and dark when we were looking. Not much privacy, but easy to find! I read that the farther you go down the road, the more private walk in spaces you’ll be able to find. Even though it was snowy when we were there, the view was gorgeous! There was a fire pit set up at the site, and we were able to find restrooms/showers in town early morning at Dowd Flats RV Park on our way back into Moab.

We were en route from Sedona to Monument Valley, planning to camp near Valley of the Gods. However, we ended up traveling later than expected so we tried this site and are so glad we did! There were plenty of spots available on a weeknight in early April, it was not too far off the highway and was quiet and peaceful. Our only regret was that we didn’t have more time to spend exploring the national monument.
