Looking for a place to camp with a group around Moab? Head north to the Lone Mesa Campground
Lone Mesa Group Campground is a group camping area with five sites that can accommodate 15-40 people each.
The campground sits on top of a small mesa, providing incredible panoramic views. Nearby trail networks offer endless recreational opportunities – hiking trails in the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park, hiking and biking trails at Dead Horse Point State Park, and dirt roads surrounding both parks.
Note: The campground has no water. You can fill your water jugs at Lions Park (intersection of Hwy 191 and UT 128) near the pedestrian bridge dedication plaque, or at Gearheads Outdoor Store in downtown Moab.
