Arches National Park Camping - Devils Garden Campground

Complete Arches National Park Camping Guide within site photos and video. Devil's Garden Campground is located in Arches National Park and is the only developed campground in the park

Devils Garden Campground - Arches National Park Camping

Camping is by far the easiest and best way to explore Arches National Park!

You simply start/end your day in the park without having to drive well over a half-hour drive from Moab plus waiting in the ridiculously long line just to get through the entrance station.

Another great benefit is that campers are not required to have a Timed Entry Reservation however you must show your campground reservation for entry into the park.  Entrance fees still apply. 

Perhaps the biggest benefit to camping in Arches National Park is that you are also close to several hiking trails including Devils Garden Trail and Broken Arch loop. This means that you can leave your vehicle at your campsite and not have to fight for one of the few precious parking spots.

There is an amphitheater where you can take in an evening Ranger Program or just hang out at your site with a campfire or stare out into the sky and enjoy all the stars.

Planning a National Park vacation? America the Beautiful/National Park Pass covers entrance fees for an entire year to all US National Park Sites and over 2,000 Federal Recreation Fee Sites.

The park pass covers everyone in the car for per vehicle sites and for up to 4 adults for per-person sites.

Buy on REI.com and REI will donate 10% of pass proceeds to the National Forest Foundation, National Park Foundation and the U.S. Endowment for Forestry & Communities.

For a fun adventure check out Escape Campervans. These campervans have built in beds, kitchen area with refrigerators, and more. You can have them fully set up with kitchen supplies, bedding, and other fun extras. They are painted with epic designs you can't miss!
