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.

I love this campground. Be wary of when the wind picks up though as it's tough to stake your tent into the rocky ground.

Great location, quiet (not many ATVs thank goodness). Good for folks who want to hear nature and not motors. Really nice camp hosts. Close to mountain bike trail.s

We had a group site and loved it! Gorgeous views, clean restrooms (no running water). We were excited by the mountain lion tracks all around our site but never saw one. The campsite was remote and it took us a little time to find firewood and food (drove to Moab after setting up camp). Great location between Arches, Canyonlands, and Moab. Saw a beautiful sunset and sunrise. Can't wait to go back!

Our site was taken by someone when we arrived (their stuff was there but they were not) so we paid $600 for hotel rooms.

It is a very nice, new, scenic group site campground. We weren't really sure where to throw down our tents but I'm sure it will become more obvious in the future.

Beautiful and serene campsite that is impeccably well-maintained. The camp host was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The space was perfect for our group outing! Looking forward to returning next year.
