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.

Guests commonly noted the spacious, cleared sites suitable for multiple RVs with beautiful views and stargazing opportunities. Many mentioned the 3-4 mile dirt road access that may be challenging in wet conditions.

Beautiful spot

When I got to the spot designated. It was already taken. I was so sad. But I drove up the road a little bit and I saw that there were two cleared spots right off the road. I decided to camp there. They were stones around the site. So I gathered them to create a fire pit. It was so glad that I stopped and got firewood. There were white hair deer all around. I was able to watch the first sunrise of my life at 65 years old.

Fine for small class A & beautiful

We drove our Thor Axis and roads and site were fine for off-road- slow on the last mile plus of dirt. Pretty and quiet but took a few minutes to level our spot.

Beautiful Spot

We needed a place to overnight on our way to AZ. This site is about 3 miles off the highway with the last 1.5 miles on a decent dirt road. I think it would be hard to navigate in the rain/wet.

Beautiful views!

There is room for a couple of rigs if they aren't too big. We have a Ford F350 with a 21-foot TT. There is room to turn around

Nice view of valley and LaSals

Nice little area of cleared land that would comfortably hold 2 rigs. No fire ring or table or improvements of any kind. We have a 20’ TT towing with a Mercedes SUV. About 4 miles of good dirt rd. No issues at all getting here.
