If you get there early to reserve a spot, can you leave for the day? Sorry if this seems like a silly question.

Stayed here for one night in early December and were treated to incredible starry skies and a beautiful sunset at the Green River Overlook. There is a bathroom here and is a water fill-up station at the Island in the Sky Visitor Center (runs year round).

The cute sites here in the Islands in the Sky section of Canyonlands are great for tent campers and smaller rigs. The sites are nicely spaced and offer some privacy with junipers and shelters. Nearby hikes are spectacular. A beautiful place to camp!

Great spot in the park! Dry camping, clean restroom, nice campsite with ramada, picnic table; level for our pop-up camper.

Great spot in the park! Dry camping, clean restroom, nice campsite with ramada, picnic table; level for our pop-up camper. Arrived about 10 Friday morning to claim one of 2 available first-come first-serve sites - only 12 sites total in the Island of the Sky section of Canyonlands. Beautiful sunset at the near-by (walkable) Green River Overlook, and amazing night sky at this Dark Sky park.

The whole park is freshly paved, including the campground's parking pads. All new covered picnic areas and well maintained facilities throughout this huge national park. This tiny 12-site campground deep in the Island in the Sky District is first come, first served so you'd better get here early. Departure time is 10am but wannabes start circling at sunrise.
Its just a short walk out to the Green River viewpoint which is a popular spot to photograph the sunset. We saw a tiny desert fox stroll by our van at dusk and one of the largest bucks I have ever seen. He looked looked like the King of the Forest, right out of Disney's Bambi.
There's no cell coverage at the campground so just drive a few miles up the road until you can see the Manti-LaSal Mountains.
Park rangers as rangers are super nice. One recommended the awesome Lathrop Trail. Do it! We keep extending our nights here because there's so much to see. Not too crowded, perfect weather. Only negative is that All the vault toilets are sorely in need of pumping.
