The camping is really nice, but with that being said, it could be run a bit better. The entrance sign "Camping full" is misleading, as I went past it and the first camp site we reached was free.

Really great location and scenic for visitors. We camped there 2 nights and it was great. It's just a few miles from the main part of town. It's definitely an affordable alternative to staying at a hotel in town.

My advice is to always go through all the camps, regardless of the sign (do they just have it permanently there?) and check if there is anything available

I just got here and it is unbelievable. It’s November so it’s off-season and you can camp just about anywhere. Sunsets are fabulous and you can hear a pin drop. I really don’t want to tell anybody about this, because more of you will come here! Seriously, one of the best campsites anywhere!

A unique space with lots of great camping. Be prepared for wind and sand storms that blow across this area. Lots of noisy ATVs and Jeep's that can be a distraction from the amazing scenery.

The sand flats were one stop of many on a 2 and a half month road trip. If you're in Moab, you know what you're here for. It's an adventurer's heaven, made up of endless UTV trails, bike trails and 2 nearby national parks. The sand flats are right in the heart of that, and offer some of the best trails in the world. We had a great time on Hell's Revenge. As far as the campground goes, we stayed in our tent for 2 nights at the end of September and they were some of the least comfortable nights of the trip! It was still very warm out late September, so we wanted to sleep with our tent windows open. Unfortunately, that meant turning off our lanterns, because the bugs here are so microscopic and plentiful that maybe 50 of them managed to get into the tent through our mesh screen windows that no other bugs had ever gotten through. Additionally the vault toilets here are so incredibly gross, especially if it's hot outside as it was when we were there (95 degrees.) Whole families of black flies congregate in there. And we have seen many well kept vaults on this trip, just not this one! So plan for other means of going to the bathroom if you don't like the sounds of that. Aside from these issues, the campground loops here are spacious and some offer relative privacy. We stayed in Loop B, which seemed to have the most foliage and some spots were along a cliff Wall that offered a little shade in the late afternoon. We had no problem getting a spot we liked, arriving on a week day in the early off season. Overall, if you want to be in the action in Moab, it seems that sand flats is the best place to camp.
