Right off hwy 24, a good amount of sites with amazing sunset views!
Don’t believe the rangers if they say it’s full or if the full sign is up - it’s often not accurate or updated daily.
This campground was my favorite in JT - the sites are well spaced offering privacy and quite.
Regular NPS campground, pit toilets abound, table and fire ring per site. The usual.
Location is great and close by to al the main attraction!
Though Mecca campsite is bigger neither is ever busy I think. Mecca has more trees and facilities g Fb or overnight, Corvina is a day use at best. Sites have fire rings and picnic tables. Come for sunset it’s beautiful!
October 2019, no access to campsite, roads gate locked.
Pros: The view. Duh. Unbeatable. Near everything - guided tours, visitor center, restaurant, showers all within easy walking distance. The desert sand is nice and soft!
Cons: Tent sites are separated from RV’s which is nice but put together in such a small space that sites are literally on top of each other. For not even a picnic table 20$ isn’t cheap.
Large well maintained campground in the heart of the south rim. You can expect all the usual NPS services and amenities- fire pit, picnic table, pit bathrooms and many many families on vacation.
The location at the heart of south rim is great and unbeatable and makes the strangers kids shouts worth it.
Just 15 mins from downtown Sant Fe this beautiful campsite is an easy and great escape and alternative.
For the size of the campground the sites are pretty cramped which is unfortunate but nothing too serious.
Basic campsite with picnic tables, tent mats and pit toilets.
No amenities except some great river side places.
Dispersed camping along the road (though it’s not a busy one, especially not at night so not noisy) right on the river.
First coms first served with mostly tenting spaces.
Come cause you’ll usually find an open space and stay cause it’s so damn pretty there
The closeness to the main road causes day time to be a bit noisy and not as relaxing as the place could be, but it’s quiet at night.
I find it strange that all campgrounds charge the same amount but don’t offer the same amenities - no trash or water here and only an open air pit toilet.
But after all that it’s a great campground very close to Moab, Arches and Canyonlands and well worth it all.
Many RVs and trailers kinda ruin the whole “tents only” I was looking for
No bathroom. No tent mat. No water. No paved road. no garbage dumpster. Just a few picnic tables on a mountain top. So it’s super windy usually too.
It’s a beautiful campground with stunning views just a few miles outside Canyonlands and basically at the entrance to Dead Horse.
No mosquitoes when I got here but plenty of bees…
The campground itself is beautiful, nestled between trees and rock formations the sites are far enough for completely privacy and quiet. There are bathrooms and water and your picnic tables and fire pits. Trail heads for many amazing hikes of different levels start here so if you want an early start this is the place!
It’s unfortunate though that the NPS doesn’t do a better job at running the site and informing visitors about its availability. Rec.gov app says the camp is full without even first comes availability. At entrances to the park a big sign says the camp is full, sign near the camp says so as well. There is no camp host or anyone to ask. When I got there at 2pm “full” meant 3 open sites! Further more, some sites have multiple tent pads, this is mentioned anywhere which is a a shame since it could help with the limited open spaces.
All in all a beautiful, great located campground! Too bad the NPS doesn’t do it’s job efficiently enough for everyone to enjoy it.
Beautiful campground with plenty of shade. Drive up spots for tents and full RV hookups. During hunting season gets full fast.
If you aren’t camping over night they don’t want you Day using the site :/
It’s an easy hike down from the painted desert inn down and into the wilderness. Permits are free and easy to obtain. Ask for a wilderness hiking booklet as well, it’s very well made and can help orient yourself in the vast wilderness as well as offer hiking options and specific destinations and points of interest.
Once you’re out there - you’re out there! No amenities and you only have what you packed!
Beautiful campground in the midst of beautiful rock formations. The night sky is amazing from here, especially considering how close Vegas is with all its lights. A couple of bathrooms are shared while each site has a picnic table, shade structure and fire ring.
Very large site, a bit off the highway and not well marked but once there it’s pretty great. Fire rings and picnic tables as well as plenty of shady trees make this campground nice and easy.
Free campsite with first comes first policy and it fills up! The sites are pretty close to each other and there only 1 bathroom that gets very used. It’s kept clean but smells awful. Drinking water is available as well as grills and fire rings at every site. Bonus for amazing sunset views of the monument!
Primitive campground with 1 bathroom. 5 designated drive up spots for camping as well as more possible dispersed sites out in the meadow. Several fire rings hint at possible tenting sites. The wilderness that surrounds the site and lack of lights truly make the night sky magical. Check campground schedule for guided star gazing, they have telescope nights!
And it’s free! Watch out for cow poop.
The campsite is huge with dedicated RV sites as well as tent only drive in sites all surrounded by the desert and an amazing variety of Cacti. Several Bathrooms, a small library exchange and great hiking options, The loop hike around the campsite is especially worth it.
