Klondike Bluff Road

We had a great time boondocking here for two weeks. Plenty of sites for our 35' 5th wheel, nice and spread out if you drive past the first pullout where people seemed to clump together. Very nice views of the rocks and if you drive a few miles you will not see or hear the road. Verizon service varied by location from no service in some spots to 3 bars in others. Even with some OHV traffic and people driving out to a mountain biking trailhead it was usually quiet. The road is unbusy enough to walk dogs on too. Great base for exploring Moab and surrounding area.

Overall we really liked this spot. We made it about a mile down the road (a little past the coordinates listed above) at a pull-out by the 'Y' in the road. All the other spots if you keep going straight were taken unfortunately! Our spot was about 25 minutes from Moab.

There wasn't much noise -- there were a lot of people driving by during the day, especially on weekends but nothing that really bothered us much.

Our site wasn't the most level but we made it work. Other spots are more level than ours was. There are several pullouts/spots that would fit a rig bigger than ours. Road down to our spot was rocky and rutted BUT if you go slow, you'll be fine.

Cell signal was fantastic for both AT&T and Verizon (which is one of the reasons we picked this boondocking spot over the others in the area)

If you're into off-roading (we have a RZR) or mountain biking.. this is a great spot to stay with access just down the road a little farther to trail heads AND dinosaur tracks ;)

We preferred this to the neighboring BLM spots. We stayed in the first leveled, dirt pullout just past the information sign. This was the only BLM site in the area with good cell signal for us to do our remote work. We were the only people camping here, but there was traffic from off road vehicles that access the road. No one bothered us. Felt safe. It’s not far from Arches and Moab making it convenient!

The road continues back to the Klondike Bluffs boarding the Arches park ground - beautiful! Good for mountain biking or going for a run

I needed a campsite for an overnight stay and after perusing other campgrounds closer to Moab I decided to check out Klondike Bluffs. Easy access from the highway mostly level sites with awesome views. The road and is wide and bumpy. Campsites as close as 0.1 miles From the highway and much further away. Very private, great views, and easy access make this area a good choice if you don’t need close access to Moab. AT&T cell service is good. No shade to speak of so shoulder season use is best with no AC.

This is a good boondocking site close to Arches National Park and Moab, UT. There is a free dump and potable water at the Maverik in Moab which is about 30 minutes from this site. This was home base for us for 9 nights while we explored Moab and the numerous other things to do there and nearby. The spot we chose was about 1.5 miles from the turn and we were on a small hill, so we were very exposed. It caused issues the first few days due to high winds. This spot was a bit after the GPS coordinates listed above, but I forgot to the get the exact coordinates. The scenery is very nice. However, the road coming in is one of the worst we have encountered so far. We did not have trouble per se but did have to go very slow. The road consists of large boulders and sand. After about ¾ of a mile, the road does get a bit better. We only saw a handful of sites up to the spot we chose and most of those were already taken. After deciding to stop at this spot, we unhooked and drove down the road another 2 miles or so to the trailhead to see if there were any other spots available shielded from the wind. We did not see a lot of decent spots so decided to stick with where we were. Other reviews indicated there were some good spots even further down the road, but we weren’t willing to take the rig that far. At the very beginning of the road, there was a huge spot for big RVs, but we only saw maybe one or two sites for big rigs further down the road. There were more sites for small RVs or tents. We had no trouble at all leveling the rig at our spot. We just moved around until it was level without blocks. The sites are very far apart so we had little noise. Even though we were close to the road, we felt the road noise was not bad even on the weekend with ATVers. Internet access was good for AT&T and Verizon. Anything you may need can be found in Moab which was convenient. We did scout out some of the other boondocking spots nearby and decided this one was fine despite the road conditions. We did briefly think about moving to Dalton Well Road, but ultimately decided it wasn’t worth it. It had some decent spots though, so I would recommend checking it out as well. The Willow Springs camping area was busy when we drove though and frankly we weren’t sure what the hubbub was all about. Glad we skipped it. Overall, if we are in the area again, we would probably try to find a better spot due to road but would camp here again.

The entire Moab area is really nice. We stayed at this camping area for so long because we had a good spot far away from anybody else. Some of the other camping areas closer to Moab get a lot more traffic.

Klondike Bluffs Road is about 16 miles from Arches National Park, and just slightly further to Moab. The road its self is pretty rocky in spots, but accessible in any vehicle, you just have to go slow in spots. It is a pretty long road with many camping areas along it. The first 8 big spots that can fit RVs got good cell reception, after that the reception got spotty. These spots were in the first 2 miles of the road, before the Klondike Bluff trail system pull off.

There are no amenities here of any kind. We filled our water tank with our 5 gallon jug that we filled every time we passed Arches National Park. There is a awesome Mountain Bike/Off Road trail system right here consisting of 57 miles of different skill level trails.

From here you could reach numerous bike trail systems, Arches NP, Colorado River, or Moab in 20 minutes. Dead Horse SP, Green River, and Canyonlands NP Island in the Sky region is about 40 minutes away.

There is so much to due in this area. We did something different everyday and there is still so much to see and do. The only reason why we left is because it's getting cold this time of year. 19 degrees at night got us on the move again.
