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.

Such a great spot. Lots of space and very quiet during our visit. Great location close to Canyonlands, Dead Horse SP, and Moab. No running water, but there's a spigot to fill up at the Canyonlands visitor center. Shade awnings over the picnic tables were such a nice touch!

It was our second time camping at the Horsethief group campground. The sites are large with lots of spots for tents, and the covered picnic shelters are great for shade. The location is the perfect balance of remote and close to everything. Bike trails right from the campground, 20 minutes to Canyonlands and Dead Horse, 30 min to Moab.
The other 3 groups were very respectful of quiet hours, and the toilets were relatively clean. No water onsite, but there's a spigot at the Canyonlands visitor center.
