The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sites are going to have pit toilets and fire rings. There is absolutely no firewood collection permitted. Bundles of firewood are available in the grocery and convenient stores of Moab for approximately $4.99 a bundle. Bring lots of water as there won't be any water available at the BLM campgrounds. The shop, Gear Heads, and Moab's gasoline stations are amenable to filling up water containers. Arches National Park's visitor center provides a row of spigots available to fill water containers too.
The BLM has 87 additional designated camping places. All these will need an individual to possess a toilet. Bring your own or rent a camp toilet from Canyon Voyages, Tag-A-Long Expeditions or Tex's Riverways of Moab. Usually, Moab's Walker Drug camping aisle has portable toilets for purchase too. Dump stations are available at Dead Horse Point State Park, almost all the private campgrounds and Quality RV at 850 South Hwy 191 in Moab.
Arches National Park has fifty three campsites available all year long. The camping in Arches is currently reserved on the internet upon recreation.gov website. Devil's Garden Campground has flushing toilets in the restrooms and an intermittent spigot for filling water containers is scattered within the campground. There aren't any hookups for RVs. These reserved national park campsites fill up two months at a time, so plan in advance. Backpacking, in contrast, isn't often desired in Arches. A free backcountry permit to backpack and camp is readily available. Inquire directly in the Visitor Center. It's open 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. April through October. Hours shorten to 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. November through March.
The Canyonlands National Park backcountry use usually requires a fee and permits. In Canyonlands, people may camp out by river rafting or canoeing, 4WD or mountain bike paths, or hiking.
Reservations for backcountry permits can be made the 2nd Monday of July for the next year, if you'd prefer to plan well ahead of time. Reservations cannot be made within two weeks of a date. In this situation apply directly at the applicable visitor center. The Maze District camping is only available by backcountry permit. The Island in the Sky and Needles visitor centers are open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Maze's Hans Flat Ranger Station is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Dead Horse Point State Park has 21 RV sites have hook ups, you'll find twenty one tent sites, flushing toilets, water spigots and fire rings. Once again bring your fire wood. Reservations online are available for Dead Horse Point State Park of Utah. In May 2009, Dead Horse Point dedicated a couple of new trails with magnificent views. These are typically beginner rated mountain bike single track, shared with pedestrians only. No engine use on the Intrepid Trails (named for the Intrepid Potash Mine that is seen from Dead Horse Park in the form of the evaporation ponds.)
For front country camping out use, the Island in the Sky district has 12 primitive campsites at Willows Flat. Bring in your water. A pit toilet is erected within the Willows Flat campground. The 26 sites inside the Needles District of Canyonlands are separated between two loops. Squaw Flat Campground has drinking water. Several of the sites are sufficient for shorter RVs prepared to park with no hook ups. Pit toilets are found in the campgrounds. Flushing toilets are housed within the Needles Visitor Center. The visitor center isn't immediately near the campgrounds.
Both districts have fire rings in the sites. Collecting wood is not allowed within the parks. The Canyonlands National Park camping is a 1st-come-1st-served process. No reservations are taken, aside from the group sites. Plan to arrive close to 3 PM for the best chances of acquiring one of these park campsites. For those who arrive too late, understand that there is reasonable alternatives nearby.
The Bureau of Land Management has 432 campsites placed within 24 extra campgrounds dotting the surrounding canyons of Moab. Be aware of informational signs for additional campgrounds while you drive to the National Parks of Moab. Choose to nab one of these in route or plan to back track in case the park campground is full.
