47mi from Tselakai Dezza · 1 site · Tent, RVCanyonlands Basecamp — A Quiet Backcountry Camping Retreat
Escape the crowds and settle into wide-open space at Canyonlands Basecamp — a peaceful RV and overland camping retreat just minutes from Monticello, Utah.
Located at the edge of the Abajo Mountains and bordering the Manti–La Sal National Forest, our property offers something increasingly hard to find near Canyonlands: quiet, space, and dark skies.
This is not a packed RV park.
