This Outpost and campground is located on 300 acres of private property surrounded by park and public land. It has been here for over 30 years in some form or another. We are Caleb & Amber who enjoyed managing this little oasis in the middle of the desert from March to June of 2017 when we decided to purchase the business & make it our own. This is a dry, rugged campground with a bathhouse that provides coin operated showers and flush toilets. In addition there is little old rustic camp store placed in the middle of nowhere where we provide fuel, snacks, firewood, ice, showers, cold drinks & more. If you are looking for a more private site with lots of space and shade, book our Small Group at the Rocks. For a warmer stay during the cooler months book one of our Glamping Tents listed. We have the larger, and spacious tent in the grove of the Juniper Trees (which is also amazing in the warmer season) and rent a heater from us inside the general/camp store. BE SURE TO GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME TO CHECK IN NO LATER THAN 5PM. THANK YOU!! DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A SCREEN SHOT OF THE DIRECTIONS HERE, YOU WILL LOSE SERVICE ON YOUR WAY.

Camping with a beautiful View!
The views were amazing! SUPER close to Canyonlands NP. If you want a quiet place to camp, with gorgeous views, I would highly recommend this place. All fellow campers were respectful and abided to camp rules. Be advised that this is extremely remote so come prepared with all necessities including a full tank on your car to be on the safe side ;). Happy Camping! 🫶

Amber had an incredible property for camping! The views at sunrise and sunset were absolutely stunning. We found a site with some great shade and plenty of space to relax. Definitely appreciated the dry firewood and shower after many days without one. The proximity to Canyonlands made exploring easy! We will definitely recommend this spot to others and may plan a trip back.

Tipi at the Rocks
I booked the tipi at 5:30pm only to find out later you cannot check in after 5:00pm. Once I did find out I called the host numerous times without an answer. Also, it wasn’t clear that there was no bedding available. So after driving 1.5 hours to get there I still didn’t have a place to stay. I messaged the host asking for a refund since there was no expense on their part but never did receive a response and I was charged anyway.
