What Guests Are Saying
Horsethief Group Sites offer large camping spots with shaded picnic shelters, providing a great balance of remoteness and accessibility to nearby attractions like Canyonlands and Moab. The campground is quiet, with respectful visitors and relatively clean facilities. However, it's important to note that there is no running water on-site, but a spigot is available at the Canyonlands visitor center.

The BLM has upgraded the group campsite with a few designated tent spots with tie down locations. It was nice to see because the wind was so bad I thought my tent was going to fly away with me in it.

Stayed at Horsethief for almost a week with a large group in Mid-march. Here are a few helpful tidbits about the group campsites and location.
Road was easily drive-able despite epic rain.
Parking areas for group sites easily fit our two 12-passenger vans with small cargo trailers.
The area is almost 2000' higher elevation than Moab, and very wind exposed. It was noticeably colder here than in town.
If you had a lightning storm, the campsite is very exposed on top of a high plateau with no major trees.
Bathrooms were well kept.
Rain and sun pavilion was great.
Direct access to mountain bike trails from the campground.

Awesome site. They had a huge covering for the cooking and eating space. was very nice especially when it was raining. Obviously being so high up there was a lot of wind and our tent stakes didn’t stay in very well into the soft ground from being previously rained on.
Very clean bathrooms, would camp here again!

Group site C was the perfect staging area for a 4-day multi-family ride on the White Rim Trail. The site was tidy and spacious, the restroom was clean, and the views were amazing. We will be back.

The host was extremely helpful in helping our large group feel accommodated despite some booking confusions!

The site was large, bathrooms clean and the view was beautiful. We managed three tents but the downside was that it was at the top of a mesa and it was scorching hot. We expected hot but we were not prepared for the wind gusts that kept collapsing our tent. I'd say this is better suited for a couple of RV's in a group.

Love the open level area for parking. Over all cleanliness of the area and restrooms. Great views!

We hit Horsethief after doing three days on the White Rim Road. It was the perfect place to wrap up our adventure. The group sites were perfect for accommodating all of our vehicles and gear.

We had just completed three days on the White Rim Road and Horsethief was the perfect location to wrap up our drive. We were eight vehicles and two trailers and we fit comfortably in our spots.
