Come camp Where The Wild Things Camp! Let the awe-inspiring views of the majestic slick rock, sage and juniper surround you in the peace and quiet of this beautifully secluded desert space. Centrally located to the best Canyonlands has to offer, our camp is located on 25 acres less than half a mile from Looking Glass Arch, a popular rock climbing destination which got its name from the conquistadors who would climb to the top and look through a “looking glass” for landmarks that would lead them back to Santa Fe. Moab is 25 miles to our North, about a 30 minute drive. The nearest convenience store/gas station is in the tiny town of La Sal, 12 miles NE of us. The nearby La Sal mountains rise to over 12,000 in elevation and is a great place to get out of the heat and enjoy lakes surrounded by beautiful pine and aspen forests. As the name suggests, Where The Wild Things Camp truly is wild and not for everyone. We are off grid, meaning there is NO electricity, no drinking water, its often windy (thank goodness for ALL the trees) but there is “spotty” cell phone service. Treat yourself to dinner next door at ULUM, a 5-star resort with a restaurant and bar! Make sure to check the weather forecast before coming out and be prepared for anything as the weather here in the desert can be unpredictable. Porta-Potty's available. PLEASE PRACTICE PACK-IT-IN AND PACK-IT-OUT. NON-AGGRESSIVE dogs are always welcome, however please keep in mind that a lot of our wild friends also live here, such as coyotes, rattlesnakes, deer and antelope. We wouldn’t want your pets or our friends harmed in any way! From Moab: Drive south on Hwy 191 for approximately 23 miles and turn right (east) onto Looking Glass Rd/Co. Rd. 131 (It will be the first right after La Sal Junction) Continue on this road for 1.4 miles until you see a wide gravel road branching off to the left. Turn left, this road will branch again in .03 miles, turn to the right (before entering ULUM) and continue straight (another .5 mile to WHERE THE WILD THINGS CAMP!! From Monticello: Drive north on Hwy 191 for approximately 31 miles and turn left onto Looking Glass Rd/Co. Rd 131 (It will be the first left after Wilson Arch). https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1LNE4WnnOSypbZmVX_Z1uOCCNpkMgFDdl?usp=sharing Moab: 25 miles Canyon Rims Recreation Area: 12 miles La Sal: 12 miles Monticello: 33 miles Blanding: 54 miles Bluff: 79 miles Mexican Hat: 104 miles Monument Valley: 126 miles

The camp area was not difficult to find using the written instructions provided by the host. Sites felt private, and the surrounding rocks provided a lovely view.

Steven’s land is gorgeous to camp on. It was very secluded and quiet but still managed to have some cell phone reception, I’m guessing because of the resort next door. The sunsets were incredible, the directions were easy to find during the day. So close to Moab and arches and the needles district of the canyonlands, so plenty to do near by. Some of the campsites have some eclectic decorations. Bring your own firewood and water, and while the advertisement says there is trash available, you are actually required to pack it out, which is fine, just come prepared. The porta potty was very clean, there is only one, which was fine because there weren’t very many campers when I was there, but if it got busier, I could see it being a problem. The sites are spacious and the juniper trees are gorgeous. I saw who I assumed was the owner of the land once showing some folks around, he seemed very pleasant.

An unforgettable place!
This place is magic! Our site sat on a corner space adjacent to a bathroom. We had a panoramic view of snow-capped mountains with a valley full of green and red hues. To our left were views of massive rock formations and a dry river bed. It was spectacular everywhere Looking Glass Rock was on site and beautiful. The sunsets were unforgettable and the evenings were super-quiet. The friendly and gracious host made the rounds on Sunday morning and thank everyone he passed for staying. I want to thank him, from the bottom of the heart, for sharing such an unforgettable place.

Truly Wild!
We stayed in our tear drop camper, and we're greeted by a host (despite it being late and dark) He showed us to the perfect (flat) pitch. It's truly wild, with a great fire pit, and porta potty. We woke up to amazing views of Looking Glass Rock and had a wonderful hike.
