Great spot!

This is an amazing place to come and get away from all the people in Moab! Beautiful place to set up and plenty of room to spread out and have a private area! In a valley with little tree cover so it can be a little windy but nothing to ruin your day! Would recommend, we had a easy time finding a stop in early May on a Friday Evening

Beautiful spot close to Moab

We ended up camping multiple times in different spots. The best spot backed right up to the rocks and was cozy and very private. Views were beautiful in every direction. Road was a little bumpy coming in. Get there early in the evening to claim a spot because it seems like a popular place to camp (for good reason!)

Moab Meadow

Great free camping ~15min from downtown Moab. Lots of sites all along a meadow/field backing up to the canyon walls. Slow Verizon Service. Would stay again!

Among the crickets

Bumpy but manageable road. Higher clearance vehicle recommended but not necessarily needed. Fire ring available. If you’re looking for a getaway from the main Moab campsites this is a nice place.

Two bars for Verizon.

Breath taking

We stayed here for a night while driving across the country. Our cell service only occasionally worked there. There is no facilities or trash cans. So pack it in and pack it out.

There was only one other camper that we seen but did see several ATVs and stuff on the trails.

There was a fire ring in our site. However, we did start a small fire but quickly doused it due to how dry everything was. The views were breath taking for sure. Would stay here again.

Also, we were only in a jeep cherokee and was able to maneuver but it does get rougher the further in you go.

Good Option on Busy Weekends

All of the campgrounds on UT 128 were full during our late night drive way out that direction; easy enough to find Behind the Rocks, pulled in late, found an open spot, still some people up at early morning hour, sandy dirt spot, rough road into area, woken early by atv users, drove into town for bathroom and breakfast.

Excellent camping near Moab

We were striking out on basically all the campgrounds close to Moab early on a Thursday. Luckily Dyrt led us to this little dispersed camping oasis. Aside from a few motorcycles in the distance, it was nice and quiet! Lots of room for the dog to get out some zoomies after a long car ride.

Despirsed and quiet

To get to the camping i would recommend at least a small suv. I had a ford escape and was fine while going slow. Once you're here it's great especially to descover more if the backcountry with a quad a motorbike or even by car.
