Park 41mi from Green River · 572 sites
There’s a pretty solid chance that you’ve heard about Moab, one of Utah’s most happening recreation spots. This gorgeous place gets packed, so do your homework beforehand so you know where to go! The Moab Field Office, administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), takes up 1.8 million acres of gorgeous canyon-riddled lands. Spend your days hunting for natural arches and bridges, exploring mesas, and contemplating how the heck rocks can look so crazy. BLM lands are also fantastic base camps for forays into nearby Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. There are 26 campgrounds, and you can usually find something even on the busiest of weekends (but, if you can swing it, it’s always best to arrive early). River recreation on the Colorado and Green Rivers is another major draw. However you spend your time in Moab, you’ll fall in love with the impressive red rock formations, the deep canyons, and surprising amount of plant life.

Setup your tent and enjoy some respite before and after exploring the beautiful canyons and desert landscapes that surround the Desert Moon and beyond. We have 2 showers, bathrooms, potable water, picnic tables, and wifi on site. There is also a covered seating area for guest use by our Inn. There are 5 campsites total.
Please note, the Union Pacific Railroad is right across the street, with trains passing by multiple times a day and night. There will be noise at night.
Campsites are relatively close together so you will likely see other campers during your stay. Also, there is not a lot of shade on the property so be prepared.
Thompson Springs began as a railroad stop on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad in the mid to late 1800's. It soon became a shipping point and community center for local farmers, cattle ranchers and sheepherders. It is now a ghost-town with a population of 50 people.
The Desert Moon has a true wild western past. The old dancehall on the property, The Cactus Caberet, once served as the town bar and brothel. We are currently in the process renovating the dancehall into a venue for live music and retreats.
There are 8-12 staff members living on site in their personal RV's at all times. We are a small community of artists, builders, and adventurers. We are constantly working to improve this property that came under our ownership in July of 2020. Feel free to come say hello and ask us about what we are building here!
Thompson Springs is a true "ghost town" with no retail or restaurants except a 7-11 off the I-70 exit. The towns of Moab and Green River are only a half hour drive away and are full of regional and eclectic restaurants and shops.
The Desert Moon is located just four miles from the Sego Canyon Rock Art in the Bookcliffs featuring pictograph and petroglyph panels from three different Native American cultures: Barrier, Fremont, and Ute. Be sure to check them out!
There are miles of off-road trails accessible from our property. Some require a 4x4 vehicle or dirtbike, but many are well maintained enough for almost any vehicle.

We are a tiny, cozy Urban Campground located right in the bustling town of Moab next to the newly constructed middle school. We are nestled within a grove of large shade trees, and beautiful landscaping, and next to a cool perennial stream. (Please keep in mind that if you are coming in the early spring, there will not be foliage or flowers yet and camp will look more bare than the website photos! Also, note that the creek's flow is variable throughout the year)
We are just 2 blocks off of the Main street, close to shopping, restaurants and the bike/walking path. We are a self check-in, (no onsite office), tent-only, walk-in only (park and walk in), campground. (No cars in camp, no camping in parking lot allowed.)
Sites are primarily on sand. There is no on-site office. We are in camp 3+ times a day to check, clean, mow, etc. If you don't see us, but you need something...call and leave a message at 435-248-2001 or email.
We have clean bathhouses with hot showers (closed daily from 11-1) and an outdoor sink for dishes. There is a picnic table at each site, and 3 communal propane BBQ grills.
Sorry, but no campfires, propane fire rings or open flame allowed. Camp stoves are fine! Sorry, no dogs.
We have two site types, Small Tent Sites and Large Tent Sites. Small Tent sites can accommodate one larger tent or two smaller tents with a maximum capacity of four people. Large Tent Sites can accommodate 2 larger tents or three to four smaller tents with a maximum capacity of 6 people.
Due to our small size, this camp is not recommend for children under 3.
Etiquette:
Check-in/Quiet hrs: Check-in is after 12:00 noon and Check-out is 11:00 am. The bath house is closed for cleaning from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Please plan accordingly! Quiet hours in camp are from 10:00pm to 6:00am. Consider the many nearby places you can go if you want to stay up late, as a courtesy to your neighbors.
About Us: We are an Urban Camp! Local noise includes but is not limited to; trucks, cars, motorcycles, 4X4’s, school bells, marching bands and perhaps even a parade! We are self-check in (no onsite office or staff), walk in and tent only. We are in camp 3+ times a day to check, clean, mow, etc. If you don't see us, but you need something or have a problem, call and leave a message or email.
Campsite: Your tent and equipment must fit and be set up between the camp dividers and cannot be over the “No Camping Beyond This Point”. Please do not overflow into the neighboring campsites.
Camp Tables and Site Use: Do not move the picnic tables, as they are chained down. Each camp table is numbered for that site. No cleaning, repairing or working on bicycles and/or motors on the picnic tables. No Motorcycles are allowed in the camp area for any reason. All motor vehicles and trailers must be in parking lot. No exceptions!
Nature and The Environment: This is the desert! We have rocks, sand, dirt, sun, heat, cold, rain, wind, etc. Most campgrounds in the city area of Moab have the same desert aspects as we do; the difference is our close proximity to downtown. You are camping! Be prepared for bugs, insects, ants, spiders, Cottonwood beetles, caterpillars, lizards, deer, cotton from the trees, etc. Leaving food out or unsecured, attracts bugs and Ravens. Ravens are smart, they will wait until you leave and will get into everything except zippered tents, closed coolers, and locked cars, (at least thus far)! Plan accordingly. No dogs are allowed in the camp or parking lot.
Before Booking Acknowledgement:
Tent Only: No RVs, trailers, campers, or vehicles in camp. Park in the parking lot and use our handy carts to get your gear to your site. Sleeping in vehicles and in the parking lot is not allowed.

Wetrock
8. Wetrock
42mi from Green River · 2 sites
Welcome to Wet Rock — a rare canyon sanctuary at the edge of Moab, where geology, water, and sky collide.
Wet Rock is not a typical campground. It is a living landscape shaped by time, pressure, and intention — a place where campsites are woven into water features, stone, and stars.
Inside the main fence, you’ll find intimate campsites nestled close to amenities, water features, and shared gathering spaces. These sites are ideal for campers who want comfort, proximity, and an immersive atmosphere — flowing water nearby, thoughtfully designed paths, and easy access to restrooms, hot showers, and communal areas. At night, the property glows softly, and the desert sky opens wide.
For those seeking something deeper and more private, Wet Rock also offers six remote canyon campsites tucked into a secluded, two-canyon system that directly connects to Moab’s iconic Pipe Dream Trail. These sites sit within Strange Canyon and Charm Canyon — names inspired by particle physics, fitting for landscapes that feel almost unreal.
This canyon system is geologically extraordinary. Due to its unique position along the Moab Rim, it receives more concentrated flood runoff than nearly anywhere else in town. Over thousands of years, immense water pressure has sculpted the stone here — tumbling, compressing, and polishing massive boulders into forms you simply will not see elsewhere in Moab. The rock faces are smoothed, flattened, twisted, and carved in ways that feel intentional, almost architectural. After storms, you can still read the story of water written directly into the stone.
Walking these canyons is mesmerizing. The scale, the texture, the silence — it’s a reminder that this landscape is still alive, still shaping itself. Campers often describe it as otherworldly, meditative, and profoundly grounding.
Whether you choose a site near flowing water and amenities or a secluded canyon perch beneath the rim, Wet Rock offers something rare: access to comfort, solitude, and genuine geological wonder in one place.
This is Moab — but not the version you’ve already seen.

The Green River is a behemoth that runs through three states before emptying into Lake Powell, and Green River State Park is a great spot for jumping in on the river fun! River rats will find the park to the perfect starting point to long floats through Labyrinth and Stillwater Canyons; these 120 mile floats are perfect for beginners and offer some of the sickest canyon views. Anglers can fish the banks; wave to canoers and kayakers as they pass by. Off roading on the parks trails will keep you dry and thrilled, or those just looking for a relaxing round can take a swing at the 9-hole golf course—it’s gorgeous with the Book Cliffs off in the distance. Bring all your friends for incredible group camping or just hop into your own site for the night before starting your longer trip down the water. Green River is a place that can both start your journey AND be the ending destination, and that is a pretty sweet deal.

We are just 2 blocks off of the Main street, close to shopping, restaurants and the bike/walking path. We are a self check-in, (no onsite office), tent-only, walk-in only (park and walk in), campground. (No cars in camp, no camping in parking lot allowed.)
Sites are primarily on sand. There is no on-site office. We are in camp 3+ times a day to check, clean, mow, etc. If you don't see us, but you need something...call and leave a message at 435-248-2001 or email.
We have clean bathhouses with hot showers (closed daily from 11-1) and an outdoor sink for dishes. There is a picnic table at each site, and 3 communal propane BBQ grills.
Sorry, but no campfires, propane fire rings or open flame allowed. Camp stoves are fine! Sorry, no dogs.
We have two site types, Small Tent Sites and Large Tent Sites. Small Tent sites can accommodate one larger tent or two smaller tents with a maximum capacity of four people. Large Tent Sites can accommodate 2 larger tents or three to four smaller tents with a maximum capacity of 6 people.
Due to our small size, this camp is not recommend for children under 3.
Etiquette:
Check-in/Quiet hrs: Check-in is after 12:00 noon and Check-out is 11:00 am. The bath house is closed for cleaning from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Please plan accordingly! Quiet hours in camp are from 10:00pm to 6:00am. Consider the many nearby places you can go if you want to stay up late, as a courtesy to your neighbors.
About Us: We are an Urban Camp! Local noise includes but is not limited to; trucks, cars, motorcycles, 4X4’s, school bells, marching bands and perhaps even a parade! We are self-check in (no onsite office or staff), walk in and tent only. We are in camp 3+ times a day to check, clean, mow, etc. If you don't see us, but you need something or have a problem, call and leave a message or email.
Campsite: Your tent and equipment must fit and be set up between the camp dividers and cannot be over the “No Camping Beyond This Point”. Please do not overflow into the neighboring campsites.
Camp Tables and Site Use: Do not move the picnic tables, as they are chained down. Each camp table is numbered for that site. No cleaning, repairing or working on bicycles and/or motors on the picnic tables. No Motorcycles are allowed in the camp area for any reason. All motor vehicles and trailers must be in parking lot. No exceptions!
Nature and The Environment: This is the desert! We have rocks, sand, dirt, sun, heat, cold, rain, wind, etc. Most campgrounds in the city area of Moab have the same desert aspects as we do; the difference is our close proximity to downtown. You are camping! Be prepared for bugs, insects, ants, spiders, Cottonwood beetles, caterpillars, lizards, deer, cotton from the trees, etc. Leaving food out or unsecured, attracts bugs and Ravens. Ravens are smart, they will wait until you leave and will get into everything except zippered tents, closed coolers, and locked cars, (at least thus far)! Plan accordingly. No dogs are allowed in the camp or parking lot.
Before Booking Acknowledgement:
Tent Only: No RVs, trailers, campers, or vehicles in camp. Park in the parking lot and use our handy carts to get your gear to your site. Sleeping in vehicles and in the parking lot is not allowed.
Urban Campground: Our campground is right in the middle of beautiful downtown Moab.
No Dogs: We love dogs, however, we don't allow them at our campground.
3 Years + We don't recommend our campground for kids under 3.
No Camp Fires
We do not allow campfires. Personal propane camp stoves are how most people prepare their meals. The campground has a few propane barbecue grills available for use.

Wetrock
8. Wetrock
42mi from Green River · 2 sites
Welcome to Wet Rock — a rare canyon sanctuary at the edge of Moab, where geology, water, and sky collide.
Wet Rock is not a typical campground. It is a living landscape shaped by time, pressure, and intention — a place where campsites are woven into water features, stone, and stars.
Inside the main fence, you’ll find intimate campsites nestled close to amenities, water features, and shared gathering spaces. These sites are ideal for campers who want comfort, proximity, and an immersive atmosphere — flowing water nearby, thoughtfully designed paths, and easy access to restrooms, hot showers, and communal areas. At night, the property glows softly, and the desert sky opens wide.
For those seeking something deeper and more private, Wet Rock also offers six remote canyon campsites tucked into a secluded, two-canyon system that directly connects to Moab’s iconic Pipe Dream Trail. These sites sit within Strange Canyon and Charm Canyon — names inspired by particle physics, fitting for landscapes that feel almost unreal.
This canyon system is geologically extraordinary. Due to its unique position along the Moab Rim, it receives more concentrated flood runoff than nearly anywhere else in town. Over thousands of years, immense water pressure has sculpted the stone here — tumbling, compressing, and polishing massive boulders into forms you simply will not see elsewhere in Moab. The rock faces are smoothed, flattened, twisted, and carved in ways that feel intentional, almost architectural. After storms, you can still read the story of water written directly into the stone.
Walking these canyons is mesmerizing. The scale, the texture, the silence — it’s a reminder that this landscape is still alive, still shaping itself. Campers often describe it as otherworldly, meditative, and profoundly grounding.
Whether you choose a site near flowing water and amenities or a secluded canyon perch beneath the rim, Wet Rock offers something rare: access to comfort, solitude, and genuine geological wonder in one place.
This is Moab — but not the version you’ve already seen.

The Green River is a behemoth that runs through three states before emptying into Lake Powell, and Green River State Park is a great spot for jumping in on the river fun! River rats will find the park to the perfect starting point to long floats through Labyrinth and Stillwater Canyons; these 120 mile floats are perfect for beginners and offer some of the sickest canyon views. Anglers can fish the banks; wave to canoers and kayakers as they pass by. Off roading on the parks trails will keep you dry and thrilled, or those just looking for a relaxing round can take a swing at the 9-hole golf course—it’s gorgeous with the Book Cliffs off in the distance. Bring all your friends for incredible group camping or just hop into your own site for the night before starting your longer trip down the water. Green River is a place that can both start your journey AND be the ending destination, and that is a pretty sweet deal.

As long as you are aware that you are in a parking spot on the side of the hotel, it is great for what it is. Full access to their swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor campfire, and lobby with table tennis and other tables for games. Bathroom access is just through a gate, very clean with showers. Hotel has food available for purchase in the morning and everybody was very friendly and accommodating. You are right off the main road in Moab.

It was a full hookup site. We found it to be private and seamless experience. The road noise was a bit more than anticipated but it’s quieter at night and sleeping was not an issue. . The main building had really nice public areas and bathrooms. It’s solid for the price and I went like I received a fair deal.

I was looking for a few days to stay cheaply in Moab and Up the Creek fit the bill well. Yes as other have said, the campsites are very close together. However I feel that the space is enough for needs and that definitely explains why you can't have a campfire cuz you're so close to your neighbor. However it's pretty cool to stay very close very close within walking distance of restaurants and other places in Moab. I slept with earplugs and was not disturbed by any noises. You also have a nice camp sink to wash out your dishes with and a decent bathhouse with bathrooms and hot showers. I was near one of the propane grills and used it to cook my meal.
I would definitely consider staying here again provided the weather was decent. The temperature got pretty close to freezing which is about my threshold right now for camping outside in a tent.
I recommend you give it a try!
