Cowboy Camp offers secluded campsites tucked along a ridge on the mesas above Moab with striking vistas of canyon country. High clearance required, no RVs, trailers or pull campers. Individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The area has many 4WD roads and mountain bike routes. The campground is located near Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. The campground has seven individual Sites (limited to 10 people & two vehicles per site); the site has toilets but no water or hook-ups.
From the center of Moab (at Center and Main) head north on Hwy. 191 to Hwy.313. Turn left (west) on Hwy 313 and drive 18 miles. You will see the small campground sign on the right.
$20/night (Pay at campground-cash or check only)
Only 7 sites, always full. Ppl drive in and out all night long trying to find a spot.
Love Cowboy Camp! It has everything we needed- a fire ring and a table (no water or trash service) It's situated between Arches and Canyonlands Nat'l Parks and Dead Horse State Park, and an easy drive to all. Most campers are overflow from these parks, and only spend one night there; watching them try to navigate the twisty, rutted unpaved road in their humungous RVS provides the nightly entertainment. Sitting atop a mesa, the views are spectacular.
Cowboy campground was excellent! The grounds were great, the spacing from neighbors was perfect. Only reason this isn't 5 stars is the lovingly dubbed "sky potty"... no roof on a pit toilet isn't the total deal breaker for me, but combined with a mostly full vault and it was an unpleasant experience. However do not let that stop you from enjoying a great little campground that is conveniently located to dead horse state park, Canyonlands, and many amazing mountain bike trailheads!
Great dispursed camping with vault toilets. Not enough room for trailers.
Stunning sunset and stary night views.
