Devils Garden Campground

Devils Garden Campground is the only campground inside Arches National Park in Utah, sitting at the very end of the park road 18 miles past the entrance, wedged among the sandstone fins at about 5,200 feet. It is a small national-park campground of 51 sites, and its entire argument is location: you wake up at the Devils Garden trailhead with Landscape Arch a walk away, hours ahead of the day-trippers queuing in Moab. It suits self-contained campers in tents, vans, truck campers and RVs under about 30 feet who plan half a year ahead and value the park over amenities.

Why RVers stay here

Devils Garden Campground is the only campground inside Arches National Park in Utah, sitting at the very end of the park road 18 miles past the entrance, wedged among the sandstone fins at about 5,200 feet. It is a small national-park campground of 51 sites, and its entire argument is location: you wake up at the Devils Garden trailhead with Landscape Arch a walk away, hours ahead of the day-trippers queuing in Moab. It suits self-contained campers in tents, vans, truck campers and RVs under about 30 feet who plan half a year ahead and value the park over amenities.

Practically it is pure dry camping for $25 a night: no hookups, no showers, no dump station anywhere in the park, generators restricted to a short posted morning window, and little to no cell signal at most sites. RV length is site-specific, some spurs to 40 feet but many around 25, with only two pull-throughs, and the loop road curves tightly between fins. Reservations are required March 1 through October 31, open six months out on Recreation.gov, and prime spring and fall dates vanish almost immediately; November through February is first-come. The trade-off is that most people who want it do not get it.

  • The only campground inside Arches, at the Devils Garden trailhead with Landscape Arch steps away
  • $25 a night for one of the best-located campgrounds in the national park system
  • International Dark Sky Park nights and dead-quiet dawns among the fins
  • Flush toilets and potable water, which is more than many desert campgrounds offer
  • First-come, first-served and often quiet from November through February
  • !Reservations are the hardest part: six-month window, near-instant sellouts for spring and fall
  • !No hookups, no showers, no dump station in the park; nearest dump and fill is in Moab, about 23 miles away
  • !Site limits vary from about 25 to 40 feet with a tight, winding loop road; big rigs are limited to a few sites that sell first

Our verdict

Book Devils Garden if you are self-contained, under about 30 feet, and can plan six months ahead for the experience of sleeping inside Arches. Skip it and stay in Moab if you need hookups, air conditioning in summer, connectivity, or a rig over 40 feet.
