Come camp Where The Wild Things Camp! Let the awe-inspiring views of the majestic slick rock, sage and juniper surround you in the peace and quiet of this beautifully secluded desert space. Centrally located to the best Canyonlands has to offer, our camp is located on 25 acres less than half a mile from Looking Glass Arch, a popular rock climbing destination which got its name from the conquistadors who would climb to the top and look through a “looking glass” for landmarks that would lead them back to Santa Fe. Moab is 25 miles to our North, about a 30 minute drive. The nearest convenience store/gas station is in the tiny town of La Sal, 12 miles NE of us. The nearby La Sal mountains rise to over 12,000 in elevation and is a great place to get out of the heat and enjoy lakes surrounded by beautiful pine and aspen forests. As the name suggests, Where The Wild Things Camp truly is wild and not for everyone. We are off grid, meaning there is NO electricity, no drinking water, its often windy (thank goodness for ALL the trees) but there is “spotty” cell phone service. Treat yourself to dinner next door at ULUM, a 5-star resort with a restaurant and bar! Make sure to check the weather forecast before coming out and be prepared for anything as the weather here in the desert can be unpredictable. Porta-Potty's available. PLEASE PRACTICE PACK-IT-IN AND PACK-IT-OUT. NON-AGGRESSIVE dogs are always welcome, however please keep in mind that a lot of our wild friends also live here, such as coyotes, rattlesnakes, deer and antelope. We wouldn’t want your pets or our friends harmed in any way! From Moab: Drive south on Hwy 191 for approximately 23 miles and turn right (east) onto Looking Glass Rd/Co. Rd. 131 (It will be the first right after La Sal Junction) Continue on this road for 1.4 miles until you see a wide gravel road branching off to the left. Turn left, this road will branch again in .03 miles, turn to the right (before entering ULUM) and continue straight (another .5 mile to WHERE THE WILD THINGS CAMP!! From Monticello: Drive north on Hwy 191 for approximately 31 miles and turn left onto Looking Glass Rd/Co. Rd 131 (It will be the first left after Wilson Arch). https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1LNE4WnnOSypbZmVX_Z1uOCCNpkMgFDdl?usp=sharing Moab: 25 miles Canyon Rims Recreation Area: 12 miles La Sal: 12 miles Monticello: 33 miles Blanding: 54 miles Bluff: 79 miles Mexican Hat: 104 miles Monument Valley: 126 miles

The camp area was not difficult to find using the written instructions provided by the host. Sites felt private, and the surrounding rocks provided a lovely view.

Great Moab-adjacent Site
This place was amazing. It’s not too far from Moab but it gives enough space to not be a super busy area if that’s the kind of trip you’re looking for. The host, Steven, was super nice and communicated super well over the hipcamp app before arriving and was available at the campsite if needed. I would definitely stay here again it was a great spot!

👹🐺🐉🐇 Wild Things Welcome!
Calling all wild things!! This campsite was just about as awesome as it was beautiful. Gorgeous location right next to the Looking glass rock. And about a 10 minute drive from Wilson arch. The three camp ground hosts were awesome, making sure we were well stocked with wood, and good vibes. If you get a special visit from Admiral Two-Too then you’re in for a treat! He is a lively character equipped with a guitar and not afraid to use it! The porta-potties were tidy and the camp sites were equipped with funky tables and trippy decorations sure to entice any wild thing. Howling at the moon and rolling in the sand at this camp ground just felt right. I would highly recommend this site for groups who like to party and let their weird out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Place.
We loved our stay at this camp. Location was perfect. Camp sites have individual touches and the porta potty was clean.
