Sand Flats Recreation Area Group Campsites

Loved both campsites we used Datura 1 and Datura 2. #2 was further from bathrooms which only mattered because we had unusually cold weather while we camped here. Reasonably flat ground to park on at these group sites, flat tent space was a little harder to come by so we raked a bit. Close to the main road atvs use but not too too loud, also great separation from other campsites. Peaceful, serene, vast landscape views.

I rolled in after dark and just camped overnight. Easy entry and exit. Campsite was as described. The surroundings offered beautiful scenery at sunrise. The restroom is simple but adequate and very clean.

Our group site at Sand Flats loop D was just right with a shelter, two picnic tables, plenty of room for tents, and fantastic views of the La Sal mountains. Pit toilet bathrooms were some of the cleanest I've ever seen!

Got to my site and it was taken but no humans were there. They had posted the slip showing they had the same spot given to me. It was nearing dark and I could not wait to set up camp in the dark and cold. I had to leave and get a hotel room.

Paid for a reserved group site to fit 11 people. Was given a very small camp site that was not labelled "group" and did not fit everyone and our vehicles. In addition to paying for the site that did not need to be reserved in the first place (is in the first-come-first-serve section of the camp grounds), we also paid for for parking permits. Overall, reservations, directions, permits were not user friendly. Very confusing and led to multiple confrontations.

One of the best campsites I have ever stayed in! Clean & well stocked bathrooms & beautiful views! Lots of bats flying at night which helped keep bugs to a minimum. Campsite is within a 10-15 minute drive to Moab, which has everything you need from the city market to outdoorsy equipment at gear heads! Gear heads also has a free potable water station outside which is the perfect place to refill gallon jugs since the campsite doesn’t have running water. Sand flats recreation area has an abundance of UTV & Biking trails which you can access from the campsite. The campground is also 15 minutes away from Mill Creek, a great spot to hike through the water and cool off on a hot day. Next time we are in Moab we will definitely be staying here again.

We had an amazing time camping in Sand Flats. We reserved group campsite E-1 and it was a great spot. Plenty of room for campers and lots of space for tents. The large rock next to the site provided shade as well as a fun place to climb up and see the view. The Jeep trails in Sand Flats are out of this world. Our site was right next to the entrance to Fins N Things (although not so close to be overly loud) and we loved watching groups of 4-wheelers start their journey on the trail. Sand Flats seems to be managed well, without it feeling like it is overly managed. Our stay at Sand Flats really made our trip to Moab great. Be sure to rent a Jeep from John at Jenn's Jeep Rentals!

Great site but better for tents than large trailers. We were able to park one large trailer and a pop-up camper and still have room for about 3 other vehicles. I only gave 4 stars because the driveway into the site has a pretty deep dip such that the landing gear on our camper would have dragged on the ground if we hadn't used rocks and boards to get across it.

The site was clean and very close to the center of town and Arches NP. There was ample space between sites so it did not feel cramped. I would definitely camp here again.
