Camp at Long Canyon

If you haven’t been to Moab, UT then you are missing out. There is truly something for everyone in this breathtaking desert landscape which has become increasingly popular over the past several years. There are two major national parks nearby, Arches and Canyonlands, which are easily accessible from this camp. You’ll need four wheel drive to get to this spot, and you won’t be disappointed.

Start by heading out of Moab on Potash Road and drive along the Colorado River until you reach Jughandle Arch at the mouth of Long Canyon. Turn right and head into the canyon. There is no camping in the canyon, but once you are on top of the mesa, you are good to go. Enjoy the beautiful drive up the canyon and you’ll top out on the rim after about 10 miles. As you reach the rim, there are multiple dispersed camp sites on both sides, but camping on the left, right on the rim of the canyon cannot be beat. Enjoy views to the east of the La Sal mountains and watch as the canyons glow at sunset from your camp.
