Lots of misleading information here. This is not BLM land ( the trailhead nearby is but no camping there). Both lots here mentioned are the parking lots of the former '' Bar M'' which has closed 2016. There is a pay station but it is not clear if this an old one from 2016 and earlier.

Great little BLM site just outside of Moab, Utah. It would have been free, however when we showed up, there were only 2 other RV’s there, by the time we left, there were 10.

When you have driven 14 hours and want to sleep, this is a great spot!

Also, after having rocks kicked at as by what I assume were overcompensating drunken men on a variety of ATVs at TWO different BLM areas we decided this was not the family friendly environment we wanted. As a result, we nearly skipped Arches... more

We found this site while looking for another BLM campground. We decided not to drive all the way to the original BLM site which was a couple miles on a washboard dirt road. While I don't think this is an official campsite, looked more like overflow parking for a now closed tourist attraction, it was the perfect spot as you were blocked... more
