We are a tiny, cozy Urban Campground located right in the bustling town of Moab. We are nestled within a grove of large shade trees, beautiful landscaping and next to a cool perennial stream. (Please keep in mind that if you are coming in the early spring, there will not be foliage or flowers yet and camp will look more bare than the website photos! Also, note that the creek's flow is variable throughout the year.)

‍

We are just 2 blocks off of the Main street, close to shopping, restaurants and the bike/walking path. We are a self check-in, (no onsite office), tent-only, walk-in only (park and walk in), campground. (No cars in camp, no camping in parking lot allowed.)

Sites are primarily rocky and/or bare ground, with a perimeter of watered lawn. We are in camp 3+ times a day to check, clean, mow, etc. If you don't see us, but you need something...call and leave a message, email, or put a note in the post that we check 3x a day.

We have clean bathhouses with hot showers (closed daily from 11-1) and an outdoor sink for dishes. There is a picnic table at each site, and 3 communal propane BBQ grills.

Sorry, but no campfires, propane fire rings or open flame allowed. Camp stoves are fine! Sorry, no dogs.

Our sites are small and can only accommodate 1 family size tent (7-12' wide max) or 2 if they are small, 2-3 man backpack size (6' wide max.). Sites are limited to 4 people so larger parties may require 2 sites.

Due to our small size, this camp is not recommend for children under 3.

Reservations made after May 1st, 2020 will now fall under our COVID-19 policy.  Any reservation made prior to May 1st, 2020 will be held to our previous policies. Our COVID-19 Cancellation Policy has been created to provide flexible travel plans for you during these ever changing times while providing our business the stability it needs to continue operation. We are now only offering camp credit- for the full amount paid - to be used to rebook through 10/31/21. We will no longer issue cash or credit refunds for cancellations, regardless of reason or fault including:  if we deem the risk of contact too high, sickness, transportation disruptions and cancellations; travel advisories and restrictions; health advisories and quarantines; changes to applicable law; and other government mandates—like evacuation orders, border closures, prohibitions on short-term rentals, and shelter-in-place requirements.   Your safety is our top priority; we reserve the right to cancel with limited notice due to evolving circumstances, without a cash/credit refund. Please be advised, that whatever amount you choose to pay, will only be credited as camp credit in the event of a cancellation.

About Us

We are an Urban Camp! Local noise includes but is not limited to; trucks, cars, motorcycles, 4X4’s, school bells, marching bands and perhaps even a parade! We are self-check in (no onsite office or staff), walk in and tent only. We are in camp 3+ times a day to check, clean, mow, etc. If you don't see us, but you need something or have a problem, call and leave a message, email, or put a note in the post that we check 3x a day.

Campsite & Grass

Your tent and equipment must fit and be set up between the camp dividers and NOT ON THE GRASS. Set up left of, or behind your table. To preventing getting wet from the automatic sprinklers, your tent and equipment must be set up at least 2 feet from the edge of the grass. You can lounge on the grass, but when you leave camp, remove chairs, etc. or it will get wet!

Camp Tables and Site Use

Do not move the picnic tables, as they are chained down. Each camp table is numbered for that site. No cleaning, repairing or working on bicycles and/or motors on the picnic tables. No Motorcycles are allowed in the camp area for any reason. All motor vehicles and trailers must be in parking lot. No exceptions!

Nature and The Environment

This is the desert! We have rocks, sand, dirt, sun, heat, cold, rain, wind, etc. Most campgrounds in the city area of Moab have the same desert aspects as we do; the difference is our close proximity to downtown. You are camping! Be prepared for bugs, insects, ants, spiders, Cottonwood beetles, caterpillars, lizards, deer, cotton from the trees, etc. Leaving food out or unsecured, attracts bugs and Ravens. Ravens are smart, they will wait until you leave and will get into everything except zippered tents, closed coolers and locked cars, (at least thus far)! Plan accordingly. No dogs allowed in camp or parking lot.
