Summary
No reservations or permits are required, but a small nightly fee applies. Sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets; however, there is no drinking water or RV hookups (campers may fit small RVs or vans). The red rock desert scenery is stunning, with towering sandstone cliffs and cottonwoods providing some shade. Popular nearby hikes include Grandstaff Trail and the Morning Glory Arch. Ideal for tent campers seeking a quiet, rustic experience close to Arches National Park. The best time to visit is spring or fall for mild temperatures.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
