Wingate Campground

We had a great time here at Dead Horse Point State Park. The hiking trails offered amazing views and the overlook was breathtaking. Our site (40) was a little unleveled, but not too bad. Unfortunately, during our stay it was cloudy and rainy so we weren't able to see the stars at night (the park is a Dark Sky park). For cell service, we fluctuate between 1-2 bars of ATT 5g. We would highly recommend if you are in the area,

We loved our 2 amazing nights in this beautiful state park in May 2023. The entire park is perfectly maintained- campsites, rest rooms, trails, signage, overlooks, visitors center, picnic sites, even the dump station. If you are in an RV, remember to fill your fresh water tank before arriving. Of course, the view from Dead Horse Point itself is jaw-dropping at any time, but we found the colors of the canyon to be most intense mid-day without shadows from the canyon walls. The network of quiet, easy hiking trails are separate from the biking trails so you won't get in each other's way. In mid-May the desert wildflowers were absolutely spectacular! Like a fragrant botanical garden after a spring shower! Take the time to walk down to the visitor's center for a very well done & interesting display on early cowboys in the area, called "Spirit & Grit". Stay up late for star-gazing or get up early for sunrise over the LaSalle range. I have no idea how strong our cell service was. Who cares in such a place as this.

No showers, but water spigots, wash stations and vault toilets (they smell much better than summer camp in 1971).

We set-up the shower tent and are grateful our neighbors advised we lash it to the most-welcome and necessary metal shade structure. The wind would have taken it far away by morning.

Helpful and kind camp hosts.

Enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

What a spectacular place! Located across the canyon from Canyonlands Island In The Sky district, this state park offers breathtaking views of Colorado River, the gooseneck, and the canyon walls beyond. The campgrounds are superbly maintained with shelters over the picnic table and raked tent pads. The visitor center exhibit is fascinating and explores cowboy history in the area, including a fascinating coverage of cowgirl history! The trail side signs are great and the mountain biking trails look fabulous! Definitely worth a visit.

Perched atop Dead Horse Mesa and close to Dead Horse Point, this is a spectacular place to camp. We arrived on October 23 and the temperatures dropped below freezing each night we were there. Two of the nights featured blustery winds as well, so we were very thankful for our furnace. Our site provided 20 and 30 amp electrical, but now water or sewer. There is an excellent dump station on the way out of the campground. A picnic shelter, fire pit, and an elevated tent site were also provided.

Our site was almost perfectly level, but walking around the campground, I learned we were one of the lucky ones. Saw one class A standing on the jacks with three wheels off the ground. The camp hosts do a fabulous job, though as the place was absolutely immaculate.

And then there are the views. My goodness! A short walk (or drive) will lead you to incredible overlooks of the canyons carved by the Colorado and other rivers. Sunrises and sunsets were beyond inspiring. We used it as a base camp to explore Arches and the Island in the Sky portion of Canyonlands, but I think I would have been content just hanging out at the campsite and taking in the views.

Fantastic State Park in Awesome Location... make sure your fresh water tank is full as there is no drinking water on site. Site was perfect with steady 50 amp service. Great dump on way out of campground. Location is the best feature. The campground is on a point directly across canyon from Canyonlands NP with breathtaking views. Great access to Canyonlands and short drive to Arches. If you have a jeep or 4 wheel drive vehicle, Fisher trail (accessed right before entrance to Canyonlands and exiting via the Potash road near Moab) is great. Long Canyon trail just north of the campground is very nice as well. Great basecamp for Moab adventures as well.

We stayed here for 3 nights to visit Canyonlands NP, Arches NP and Moab. Booked online well ahead of time. Our campsite was lovely and had good privacy. Concrete pad and picnic table area with privacy shelter. Washrooms were pit toilets (close) and full flush toilets and sinks (a little walk). Be sure to bring your own potable water as there is no water available aside from a wash basin sink at the full washrooms. The night sky was phenomenal for star gazers and we enjoyed a front row seat to the lunar eclipse. Three campground managers on staff (we barely even saw them and when we did they weren't the friendliest). You pay the State Park Fee with your campground booking, so easy in and out. Walking distance to the parks visitor centre. Spotty cellular coverage at best (we took a Zoleo satellite communicator just in case). The hikes in and around the campsite take you to amazing vistas. Little bit of a drive in to get to the park and campground but well worth it. Watch for cows on the road. We plan to go back if only to spend more time in Dead Horse Point SP.
