“Such a great spot. Lots of space and very quiet during our visit. Great location close to Canyonlands, Dead Horse SP, and Moab. No running water, but there's a spigot to fill up at the Canyonlands visitor center. Shade awnings over the picnic tables were such a nice touch!”

Jennifer K 5 · Jul 2025 · Recreation.gov
