In Monticello, UT, at intersection of US Rt. 666 (Central St.) and US Rt. 191 (Main St.), take Rt. 191 south 0.2 miles to Draw Loop Rd. sign. Turn right after sign and go 0.2 miles to a "Y"intersection. Bear left and go 0.7 miles to another "Y" intersection (County Rt. 101 and Forest Rt. 105). Bear right onto Rts. 101 and 105 and go 4.1 miles to campground sign. Turn left into campground.
We stumbled across Dalton Springs while driving around and couldn’t have been more pleased. Beautiful campground! Very quite and peaceful and the perfect escape from the heat. Probably the cleanest restrooms that we encountered on our entire week trip in Utah! Highly recommend!
Very nice Campground with easy access from Monticello. Most of the campsites are very nice and well spread out. Some of the campground roads can be A little
rough and pull ins are sometimes rough and not always level. Good cool upper elevation spot with trees and shade, when it is hot around Moab and nearby attractions.
The deer, turkeys, and chipmunks, are absolutely beautiful. The forest is oak and aspen, with some conifers. There's plenty space, beautiful mountains, totally pleasant place, and close to town, with Newspaper Rock only half-hour away. Moab is just an hour away. $15/night, wonderful. We didn't even need to level the trailer on the space we chose.
Unfortunately there was also a dead deer about fifty feet from the camper, which started to smell by the time we left, and it was a challenge to keep the dogs away from it. Hopefully the buzzards have cleaned that up.
There's a very nice pond a couple miles away, but I don't know if there are any fish in it.
Nice campground. Clean toilets. Usually not crowded. Only $10 a night, half that for seniors. Lots of deer and turkeys in this Gamble oaks campground. Not a lot of road traffic noise. Easy ride to back of Canyonlands or to Moab.
