Where the Wild Things Camp was perfect for our weekend trip to Moab! We arrived on a Friday evening and all dispersed camping was full. We were able to book a spot on Steven’s land last minute and were so grateful for it! He came by when we arrived after dark to make sure we found a spot ok and give us some recommendations on hikes in the area. It’s only a short 28-ish minute drive from Moab. The porta potties were clean. We would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Where the Wild Things Tent/Car Camp
Great camping spot. About 30 minutes away from town and the sky was so dark! Star gazing was amazing. I would recommend to go a bit further in so you have a short walk to the rock. Laying down on that made for a great star gazing experience.

Beautiful campsite in the middle of the desert with some trees that offer some shade for our tent.
Steven was also really reactive.

The campsite was great, easy to find with the provided directions and amazing views. Steven also saved the day letting us borrow his air pump and stopping to make sure we were settled in. Would recommend to anyone who is thinking of camping near Moab!

Best views you will get camping in utah, it is nice and remote but still close to moab. We found plenty to do just around the campsite, climbing the rock formations. Would 100% come back here, its the best spot we’ve had on our trip so far.

Steven’s land is so beautiful! We had some unforeseen delays and Steven was kind enough to let us push our reservation out one day. We were very happy when we arrived - lots of room, gorgeous views, very quiet. Steven came out to meet us at the site and chatted with my husband for a while and we felt very welcome. It rained a bit after we set up camp, so we couldn’t do much exploring until the morning. We woke up to sunshine and blue skies and our dogs especially had a blast roaming around. We’d absolutely stay here again. Thank you Steven!

We had a great time staying at Steve’s! The camp sites were comfortable, quiet, with lots of shaded areas, beautiful views, and everything we could need! The bathrooms were also clean and stocked. Definitely walk around first to find your camp site as it made it much easier to determine where to settle. We would definitely stay again if we make it back to that area!

Very close to Looking Glass Rock. Amazing view and a nice area for the sunset. You can explore a bit if that’s your thing. Camp sites had some privacy and seclusion from neighbors.

We stayed two nights there in May. The location is great, away from the crowds, in a beautiful area surrounded by high desert with trees/shrubs and huge red rocks. The place definitely has a hip/funky side to it, which we loved (if you expect a standard well-planned campground maybe this is not for you). We found a great camp site with two tables, funky chairs (including what looked like school bus seats!) and fire ring with grill, close to a huge red rock we climbed to watch the sunset. Not all the sites are that well equipped, some without tables and/or fire rings; for these more rudimentary sites maybe the price is a bit high, but for ours it was well worth it. There were only two other occupied tent sites, it was very quiet and beautiful. There are two portable toilet at the entrance of the tent area - a couple more closer to the farther edge of the tent area would be nice. We met the owner who was very super nice and gave us recommendations/directions to explore the area. Check out the rim and bottom of Canyonlands, away from the Moab/Arches crowds. Overall we had a fantastic and peaceful time there, and I wish we could have stayed longer.

This campsite was very nice, the site I stayed at was as level and had a nice view. The only thing I didn't like was when I arrived it was pretty difficult to find the spots to stay, I got there after dark which didn't help but it was confusing nonetheless.

A safe comfortable and breathtaking stay. The new signage helped making the site easier to find so we appreciated that. Thanks!

This was a very nice area. The scenery was nice and it had a great vibe. It was also close to looking glass rock. You could see it from the camp site and it was within close proximity. Other campers are a decent distance away. Fire pit was nice. Stayed at the spot with an eagle statue near the end of the route for tent camping. A mouse got into my truck bed and I had to shoo it out.

We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to camp in Moab! The site was quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by the kind of natural desert beauty that makes this area so special. We had someone in our group who was visiting Moab for the first time, and they absolutely loved it — it was the perfect introduction to the magic of the desert.
The campsite itself was clean, easy to access, and far enough from town to feel remote, but still close enough for convenience.
If you’re looking for a quiet place to truly soak in the beauty of Moab, this is it. We’ll definitely be back!

Loved exploring the cliffs. Saw a jackrabbit. Love the art at each site. The views and sunset were sublime. Like the description says, this place isn’t for everyone - very primitive and off a bumpy dirt road. Plan accordingly. We would definitely come back :)

Nice cozy setting for tent campers like me. Private enough that you didn’t feel like you were being watched or heard but close enough to not feel lonely. But the view from there is what it’s all about. You can see out into Canyons for miles and miles literally. Bison and elk sign, didn’t see any, but wasn’t there much. Then there’s the arch. You have one of your own right next to the campground. It’s big. We thought we could see it all the way from Dead Horse state park. You can drive out to the arch about 1/4 mile. We saw a rattle snake in one of the cracks, watch before stepping.

What a great spot just 22 or so miles outside of MOAB. There are a bunch of sites scattered about, each one unique. You have your own rock formation not a heck of bit more than a rock throw away. Very nice place.

This was such a cool place! We had great communications with the owner throughout and it’s beautiful out here. Lots of space for our Subaru to make a cozy camp.
Heads-up, make sure you screenshot directions and pay close attention or you can definitely get lost pretty quick! Not an issue for us!

We absolutely loved this stay. We ended up extending it by 2 nights. Steven was an excellent communicator and host. Steps away from looking glass rock and close enough to Moab. Enjoyed the bulls roaming though every day. Super cool spot! Hope to stay again and highly recommend if you like to be “off grid”
