Dapple loop has 28 tent campsites with no generators allowed. There are five group campsites available for reservation through Recreation.gov. The area has many mountain bike trails and 4WD roads nearby. The campground is close to Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. Individual Sites: 83 (limited to 10 people & two vehicles per site); Group Sites: 5 (reservable); Water: No; Toilets: Yes; Hook-ups: No. (Note: this is a different recreation site from the "Horsethief Camp" located in the Needles, CA area).
