Great site with great proximity to Downtown Moab! Only downside was how close the site was to the bathroom which smelled pretty string, but we got some insane sunset views and the group site at Datura was nice and quiet!

Very busy, even early in the year. Very crude outhouses.

The views were amazing and the restrooms were extremely clean and well-stocked. Will definitely stay here if we’re in Moab again.

Great site but be prepared for steep inclines and sharp corners coming and going from campgrounds.

Went in early March so was still cold enough to not be crowded. Sand Flats are a great location to venture out to the rest of Moab.

Sand Flats has some of the best access to amazing off road trails and spectacular scenery! December is still a wonderful time of year, just be prepared for the cold. Maintenance crews are busy making repairs and improvements to keep this camping area in great condition.

The views at sand flats are spectacular! Caution - if you’re staying in a tent, there will be many generators, razors, oversized jeep, etc engines running. You’re right next to a popular off roading spot.
