National Park & State Park Campgrounds • BLM Managed Campgrounds • Privately Owned Campgrounds



National Park & State Park Campgrounds

The advantage to a National or State Park campground is the location. You are guaranteed to be surrounded by incredible scenery and in close proximity to several hikes, lookout points, or even visitors centers. On the downside, National and State Park campgrounds usually offer fewer amenities than some privately owned campgrounds and while they do offer RV sites it is rare to find hookups. National and State Park campgrounds generally do not accept reservations so plan to be there early if you want to get a good spot. Moab is the gateway city for the following National and State Park campgrounds:
