Cowboy Camp Campground

Rugged desert mesas stretch to the horizon at Cowboy Camp Campground, where primitive sites offer solitude, starry nights, and convenient access to Canyonlands National Park. This small BLM campground features seven well-spaced sites tucked along a scenic ridge, providing campers with panoramic vistas of the surrounding high desert landscape. The basic amenities and lack of RV hookups create an authentic, no-frills camping experience.

Located just 18 miles from Moab, Cowboy Camp serves as an ideal base for exploring the iconic red rock country of southeastern Utah. The campground's proximity to both Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park makes it a prime location for hikers, mountain bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking to immerse themselves in the area's stunning natural beauty. Visitors can easily access popular trails and viewpoints within these parks, as well as enjoy the numerous 4WD roads and mountain biking routes in the immediate vicinity.

The campground's rustic charm and strategic location make it well-suited for weekend adventures or as a stopover for travelers exploring the broader Four Corners region. Despite its basic facilities, Cowboy Camp's unparalleled views and quiet atmosphere have earned it a reputation as a hidden gem among those seeking an authentic desert camping experience away from the crowds.
