This was a great campsite. The site(s), at least the one we found, is about 1.5 miles down the packed gravel road after you turn off the pavement. It was easily accessed with our 34' rig. There was plenty of room for quite a few campers but traffic was fairly light. While we were there, a couple of schoolies and another comparable 5th wheel also spent a few days. It was hot, 105° when we arrived. There were a couple of days in the 100s. Usually a nice breeze and you can't beat the view day or night. It was less than 30 minutes to Arches, and maybe 15 minutes to Canyonlands. Verizon 4G was good enough for me to work remotely. We would definitely camp here again if visiting the Moab area.

EASY access even for our 39ft pusher while hooked up to toad. Lots of traffic in and out though, mostly one nighters. Everyone respectful with noise and trash it seemed. 100% needed our solar system to stay cool as temps hit 103 our last day here (early June). We miss it already.

Drove in with our 18 ft travel trailer and 4 wheel drive truck mid afternoon and although some rough, winding, narrow road, it was soooo worth it. The sky was the limit! Enjoyed a sunset, starry night and coffee in the morning thinking, no knowing, this is the life! Bring what you need and take it all away when you leave. Wouldn’t recommend coming in late. Got full and hard to see rough road in camping areas.

Road in is dirt and a little rocky here and there but oh, so worth it. Absolutely amazing location, view of the red rocks, great BLM campsites. My 2 dogs did great here and didn’t have to be leashed. There were at least 4+ campers there at all times, but still had plenty of room for others and privacy. Could be windy and dusty at times, occasionally loud due to UTVs, but would not stop me from staying again. No hook ups, picnic tables, trash, etc obviously as it’s BLM. Loved watching the hot air balloons, parachutes, etc!

Amazing views, large space (so you don’t feel like you are right up close with the neighbours). We have a 17’ travel trailer and didn’t have too many problems driving the dirt road that leads to it. There were also a few mega busses that were parked there, so i take it they managed the unpaved roads as well!

Like many other BLM lands this one offers beautiful views and dispersed camping. However in a 32’ class A the roads leading back to it were a bit rough. They were grated and better than others we have been on but some washboarding will
Still rattle your rig quite a bit. Take it slow and the drive is worth it.

We pulled in here on a mid-October Friday, and searched to find a "normal" dispersed site. After passing the turn-off to the Lone Mesa group site, there were several VERY large open areas with many, many, many big RV's, LOTS of people, and ATV's. We went a good way down Dubinky Well Road, which got worse the farther we went, so we backtracked and ended up on the edge of an RV "city" (probably 4-5 circles of 3-5 large camping units each). We were away during the days and tolerated the crowds when we came back as there didn't seem to be too many other camping options close to Canyonlands Island in the Sky District.
That said, the stars were incredible and the sunsets against the rocks were beautiful. October weather is delightful and makes it a very busy time in this area, so that explains the crowds.
These large areas are huge and if you don't mind a little "bumpy" in your drive, you can get any size RV in there, and there were tents along the edge as well as in some of the sites down the road.
We had weak coverage for both AT&T and T-Mobile.
There is a threaded water spigot at the lower level parking lot at Lyons Park. It's on the north side of the intersection of 128 and 191. There's a sign that says no trailer/camper parking on the lower level, but you can go down there to fill your water tank.
