Devils Canyon Campground

We stayed here Sept. 12 after a very long day of driving and hiking. We drove from south of Torrey and visited Capitol Reef NP, Glen Canyon, and Natural Bridges National Monument. We were thinking of staying in an RV park in Blanding, but couldn't bring ourselves to pay so much to stay side by side other RV's, so we journeyed on and even though this was off the main road a bit, it was well worth the drive. We had a beautiful site with hamburgers we cooked over a campfire and a full moon. A beautiful night I will not forget! The pictures say it all!

What a hidden gem this campground is! We booked in advance but there seems to always be spots available on short notice. Campsites are large and have picnic tables and a fire ring. We stayed in site 14 with a 40 ft Class A towing a Jeep and had plenty of room in the pull through site. There are no hook-ups bug there is an outhouse, and dumpster for your trash. ATT service was strong and we were able to stream a Movie. You could hear some traffic from the highway which is about a mile away, but it was very minimal and infrequent. There were some bees in the area that were attracted to the vinegar/water solution we used to clean our windshield.

After stopping at all of the free sites between Bluff and here and finding them full, I was grateful they had open spots. Arriving at midnight was no problem- the gate was open and I paid in the morning. They do not accept to “Annual” national parks pass, so it is the full $10 per night unless you have the senior pass or access pass. Water was not turned on for the season as of my stay on May 9. Flat spots, picnic table and fire ring. I stayed in loop B, and there was a lot of space and privacy between sites. There is a mountain bike/ ohv trail, but it was rainy and muddy so I didn’t ride.

Devils Canyon NFS campground was a great location to stay for 5 days while we explored the area. We took day trips to Natural Bridges National Monument, Canyonlands NP Needles District, Valley of the Gods SP, plus shopping in Monticello and Blanding.

Our 40 ft fifth wheel fit easily in site 5 and would have fit in several others. Many sites are reservable on Rec.gov so you have to watch the site tags to avoid reserved sites.

No dump station. Dump 8 miles south at Blanding RV Park for $5. Paved. Some pull thrus. Water faucet very close to site 15 where you can fill jugs. Good Verizon signal. Just off US 191 so some highway noise during the day, but quiet at night. Highway noise louder on Loop B. Great for star gazing. Not too hot during the day due to elevation. Friendly helpful camp hosts. Price paid reflects 50% senior discount. Camped in a 31 foot 5th wheel.

What a pleasure it was to discover this Campground! Roads are in great condition. Paved sites, great fire pits and picnic tables. I would not say every site is a Gem but 95% of them are. Senior Rate is awesome considering this is one of the better Parks I have stayed in. Bathrooms extremely clean and water available. Campground Host very welcoming and helpful.
