Ideas For Moab Visitors
Camping
Ideas for Moab Visitors
Leave no trace, of course. Pack out everything, including body
waste, T.P. and all other trash. Drive, park and pitch tents
only in designated areas – the desert may seem tough and
prickly, but the soil and vegetation are actually fragile. Please
walk on trails or in wash beds, so as to avoid trampling the
crust that holds down all the sand. Bring and consume lots of
water - and electrolytes.
Along the River Road (Hwy 128) there are many spots to pull
off, some are official campsites maintained by BLM, others wide
spots off the road next to the river. Of course, first come,
first occupied - and it's busy on weekends.
Kane Creek Rd (along the River from Moab downstream at 500 West)
has camping - again, some maintained campgrounds, others wide
spots. Lots of 4 x 4 action down this road because of its proximity
to town, and access to the popular Amassa Back and Hurrah Pass
routes.
Potash Rd (Northbound out of Moab, cross the Colorado River
Bridge, take the left turn after passing by the Atlas Tailings
site). Camping by Poison Spider trailhead and next to the river.
North of Moab on Hwy 191, pass Arches Park entrance and turn
west (left) on Hwy 312 to Deadhorse St. Pk and Island in the
Sky – there are some camping spots off the road before
you climb the steep grade up to Deadhorse, or you can turn down
Dabinky Wells road and look for a spot to camp. Structured camping
is available at Deadhorse Point State Park further up.
South of Moab on Hwy 191 at Ken's Lake (signed turn off of highway
puts you southbound on Spanish Valley Drive to Ken’s Lake
on your left), BLM camping.
Farther out, continue past Ken's Lake on Spanish Valley Drive
which morphs into the La Sal Mt. Loop Rd as you climb up into
the La Sal Mts – some camping once you climb up toward
Geyser Pass Road and have crossed into Forest Service land.
