Abajo Flat Camp

Within the Manti-La Sal National Forest, Abajo Flat Camp provides dispersed camping on cleared land approximately 3 miles from the highway. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in site, which accommodates RVs up to moderate sizes based on camper reports.

Access requires navigating about 1.5 miles of dirt road, which multiple visitors describe as decent in dry conditions but potentially challenging when wet. Karen F. notes the road "would be hard to navigate in the rain/wet." The site consists of cleared areas that can hold a couple of rigs, with stones available for creating fire rings. Some leveling may be required, as one recent visitor mentioned it took "a few minutes to level our spot."

Wildlife activity adds interest to the camping experience, with white-tailed deer frequently spotted in the area. Cell service is available, and both campfires and alcohol are permitted. The location works well as an overnight stop for travelers heading to Arizona or other destinations in the region.

This dispersed camp suits RV travelers comfortable with dirt road access and basic camping without established amenities. Campers seeking campgrounds near Monticello will find this forest service site offers a quiet alternative to developed facilities.
