Willow Springs Designated Camping

Willow Springs Designated Camping, located just 15 minutes north of Moab, Utah, offers a quintessential desert camping experience with magnificent panoramic views and an unbeatable proximity to iconic natural landmarks. This primitive campground lies within the newly established Utahraptor State Park and is just a short drive from Arches National Park, making it ideal for campers eager to explore world-renowned geological wonders and adventure-packed trails.

The campground provides a mix of rugged charm and essential amenities, including vault toilets and existing fire pits, though campers must bring their own water and adhere to strict "leave no trace" principles. The expansive terrain accommodates both tents and RVs, with ample space for various camping setups, but privacy can be limited due to its popularity. Notable nearby attractions include the Klonzo mountain biking trails and the Willow Springs Dinosaur Tracksite, an accessible prehistoric marvel just off the main road.

Easily reachable via Highway 191, Willow Springs is a go-to spot for nature enthusiasts seeking affordable, primitive camping near Moab’s breathtaking scenery and outdoor adventures. Plan for potential crowding during peak seasons but enjoy the unique opportunity to camp in a rugged desert setting while being steps away from Utah's famed red rock landscapes.
