Stayed here 9/5-6/22 in a 39ft 5er. A last minute decision, having left Moab early due to excessive heat. Pricey at $45/night for NO hook-ups, but does include the $20 park entrance fee. Stayed on site #20, which afforded a nice view of the surrounding cliffs. Overall, a pleasant campground, with just a few other campers. Ranger was helpful in suggesting nearby sights. So glad we took the time to explore Little Wild Horse Canyon!! Only hiked about 2-2.5 miles of its 8 mile loop, but were so impressed with the slot canyon!! Walked among the goblins at night for interesting pictures. Next time, I think we'll try one of the nearby dispersed BLM camping areas.

Stayed here 9/1-5/2022 in a 39ft 5er. Now being part of UtahRaptor State Park there is an entrance/camping fee. According to either the entrance board or online portal, there is a two-night maximum. So, we paid for 2 nights then paid for 2 more. Stayed in the site just before the large area with paybox/pole. Surprisingly, only a few others came past us over the Labor Day weekend. Daytime temps were over 100F so our A/C was unable to keep up, even running all day. figured it cost us almost as much per day in generator gas as it would to stay in an RV park, but they were all full. With a 2wd DRW, we didn't venture past the creek bed, so we didn't explore other possible sites. Roads are so rough we took the first available spot to minimize wear & tear on our 5er. Convenient spot for exploring Arches, Canyonland and Dead Horse SP. Could see the "Windows" on the horizon from our site and several mornings were graced to watch a hot air balloon rise up and float over the valley. We'd stay here again, but would pick a cooler time of year to do it.

Based on the wonderful reviews, I hoped to stay here in Sept 2022 when we made our tour of the Utah Big 5. However, as we came in Long Canyon Rd. from UT 313, there were signs closing the area to camping to protect the bighorn sheep. Closure sign was just about where Deadhorse SP intersects Long Canyon RD and said no camping for next 5 miles, which took us to the top of the Potash Rd coming up from the canyon floor. Recommend 4WD past the closure signs and certainly was NOT suitable for the 39ft 5er we were towing. Otherwise, it is a BEAUTIFUL spot to view the canyon from the top,.
