Campsites are tucked in the pygmy pinyon-juniper forest on the mesas above Moab, yet offer great views. Individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. One group site, Horsethief Group Site, is available for reservation through Recreation.gov. The area has many 4WD roads and mountain bike routes nearby. The campground is close to Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. Individual Sites: 55 (limited to 10 people & two vehicles per site); Group Site: 1 (reservable); Water: No; Toilets: Yes; Hook-ups: No. (Note: this is a different recreation site from the "Horsethief Camp" located in the Needles, CA area).
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 12 miles. You will see the campground sign on the right. Turn on the gravel road and you will see the campground entrance on your left.
$20.00 per site per night camping fee payable at self service fee station at campground
Great campground! Bathrooms but no running water! Fills up pretty quick but quite a lot of campsites! Beautiful views! Highly recommend!
The host of the campsite was incredibly accommodating. My companion and I arrived unexpectedly and, despite the campsite being fully booked, the host kindly guided us to the group area. I truly wished we could have stayed longer. Unfortunately, due to remote work requirements and the lack of internet signal near Canyonland, we couldn’t extend our stay. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Canyonland or Dead Horse.
Definitely the best campground I visited during 2023 vacations. Perfect location as base to explore Canyonlands and Arches NPs. It's far from main road, quiet, peaceful and has many hike or bike trails around. Spots are tidy and have planty of room for tents, RVs and stuff, and they are situated in reasonable distance between eachother. During night you are able to take nice photos of starry sky. For me it was perfect!
This is my first time in Utah and I’m so excited! Beautiful sites great view and sites are decently spaced. This site was 20 dollars a night with a pit toilet. Some generators are used but everyone is really good at turning them off right at 8. Plus all the sites! You’ll definitely be able to find one. Dogs are also allowed. The trail is also very beautiful! For a West Virginia girl that is.
Sites were nicely spaced out. The campground was clean and well maintained. The campground host was excellent. She stopped by to welcome me to the campground and highlight the rules. Her efforts were effective! Campers shut their generators down before quiet hours. Pets were all under control. Beautiful sunsets, quiet, respectful campers and short drive to amazing scenery.
