Very nice campground, we can visit the park all day and have a quiet place to stay.

I love camping in Arches, and I will only stay if Im able to camp in the Park. This was my first time at the end of the campground, #53. I loved the isolation, the stars, the quiet. The timed entry caused some inconvenience. Ive never had to print out my reservation before, so I didnt have it. When I drove to kiosk I was chastised but grudgingly let into the park. I dont have a printer and it wasnt made clear to me that this would be an issue.

This is an amazing place and a well cared for campground. The staff was very friendly and helpful, it make the stay more enjoyable. The restroom area was taken care of, water is at a premium but they had flush toilets and sinks. Centrally located and easy to access.

The campsite was poor. Too many rules and regulations to feel comfortable camping there.

A truly unique camping experience. The site we had was rather unique, slightly secluded and separated (at least in feeling) from the rest of the sites. My group felt like we were truly camping alone under the stars in the desert. The park is as beautiful as you have heard, with great trails in the area, and some even starting from the campground itself. A fantastic experience!

Great spot! Really tucked away compared to other sites.

One of the best & clean camp ground, more than enough space for camp & dinning.. more private space, restrooms are near by walking distance.

Beautiful campground amidst the red rock fins and arches.

The camp sites were 20 miles into the part and very quiet and well cared for. More than 2 days is to long for this park given the high visitation rate.

Never even got into the park. We were there by 8:30 am and told by signs that the park was full and that we should come back in 3-5 hours! No way to contact anyone about even getting into the park. There needs to be a way for campers to get into and our of the park at any time. I had planned and was able to get the camping reservation which was a miracle in and of itself and then to not be able to get into the park. Totally unacceptable.

wonderful to be in the park and not have to fight crowds to get into the park every day.
@RICHARDD343 · Camped on May 2, 2021 at Campsite #53
I really feel that the NPS needs to figure out a way that those with campground reservations at Devil's Garden be able to get into the park starting at noon. These prepaid reservations are like gold and to wait to 3-4 PM to make sure that you get in seems unfair. The most it could mean is 50 or so cars/RVs are allowed early entrance. Particularly with the ability to access hiking trails from the campground wouldn't necessarily increase parking stresses at Devil's Garden area.

We had a great site at the back of the campground just off one of the trails. We did get lucky. We did experience some difficulties entering the park as we didn't arrive until around 10:00am. By that time, the park was full and the Rangers were turning everyone away asking them to return later in the day. Luckily, I had printed out our reservation and we were able to enter the park. Quick stop by the Visitors Center where everything was closed up except for the store. What we missed; apparently, hidden somewhere in the reservation and the store, was the fact that you needed to purchase firewood vouchers to pick up wood at the campground. No voucher, no wood, no fire for smore's or cooking. Huge deal for us. I couldn't negotiate with the Camp Host either. Set in stone. We did have some wood though, so we had a short but very nice fire our first night. Hiking( not really all that challenging) was fun. Spring Break weather is great in the afternoon but a bit chilly going to bed! Great scenic pics with the family.

Last piece of advice- traffic is awful heading into town. We arrived Saturday afternoon and noticed an hour back up. We took another route into town. Heading out of town was no picnic either. Traffic through town was pretty backed up too for a Thursday.
