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

A Western Camping Trip to Remember

Wow! What a stunning view! Our host was helpful and checked in on us every day to see if we needed anything. Firewood is available for a nominal fee. Each site is cleverly decked out in creative decor that makes this site feel like home. Situated equidistant between Canyonlands and Arches, this was the perfect spot for us to stay while we visited the area. On cloudless nights the star show is (literally) out of this world! In an area where campsites book up early and tend to be on the pricy side, this was an economical option. Note: There is no electricity and cell service is spotty, so if you want to get away from all the distractions of life, this is the place for you. Dogs have the freedom to roam as long as they steer clear of the guard chickens. There are bathrooms available and they are clean and well-stocked. Thanks so much to our host for making my kid's trip out west a memory to last a long time.

Last min perfection!

We had planned to scout dispersed sites upon arrival but after the couple we were going to travel with had to cancel last minute we found this site, perfect for an RV! + Views for miles + Right next to Looking Glass, visible from site + 20 min south of downtown Moab + Fire pit, wood bundles on site ($20) + Short hikes to even better views + Off leash for the dog to run wild (pun intended) + Friendly staff + Quiet and remote + Sunsets and stargazing are spectacular Highly recommend if your checklist looks like ours 🤩

Where the Wild Things Tent/Car Camp

This was our first time using Hipcamp and it made us sure to come back! The site was easy to locate about a 30-40 minute drive from Moab (it’s easy enough to navigate using the written directions and road signs, but Apple Maps worked as well). Watching the sunrise and sunset over the nearby arch was also a unique touch. Definitely would stay again.
