Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation

1. Camping in Dead Horse Point State Park is very popular with limited spots—reservations are strongly recommended in spring, summer, and fall. 
2. Some tent-only sites are available at Wingate Campground—these are cheaper than the standard sites with hookups. 
3. Deadhorse Point State Park also has several yurts that sleep up to six people and have heating, air conditioning, and an outdoor grill. Yurts can be reserved through the same reservations system as the campgrounds.  

When to Go

Deadhorse Point State Park is open year-round but spring and fall are the best times for camping, hiking, and biking. Dead Horse Point can be very hot in summer, while snow and freezing temperatures are not uncommon in winter. Wingate Campground remains open year-round, but Kayenta Campground closes between December and mid-February. Year-round yurts are an excellent lodging option in summer and winter.  

Know Before You Go

1. Campsites feature picnic tables, shade structures, fire rings, and tent pads. 
2. No showers are at Deadhorse Point State Park, and water is limited. Fill up before arriving.
3. Come prepared with a full tank of gas, groceries, and other goods. The nearest services are available in Moab, 35 miles away. 
4. Sunrise is especially remarkable at Deadhorse Point State Park. Arrive an hour in advance for the best views.
5. Unlike at nearby Canyonlands and Arches national parks, leashed dogs are allowed on hiking trails at Dead Horse—just not on the mountain biking trails within the Intrepid Trail System.
