Hal Canyon is a small campground hidden in vegetation on the banks of the Colorado River. As suggested for nearby campgrounds, arrive early to claim your spot. The 11 campsites fill quickly with travelers looking for a shady respite from Moab’s scorching summertime temperatures. Some sites have river access, and most are surrounded by trees and bushes.
If you need a camp host, you can find him/her at the Big Bend Campground a half mile to the north. Otherwise, use the self-pay station and enjoy your stay!
Note: Hal Canyon 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.
From the visitor center in Moab, Utah, drive north on Hwy 191/Main Street for about 2.5 miles. Turn right onto UT 128, and continue upcanyon for another 6.6 miles. Hal Canyon Campground is on your left.

Aspen stands are shady respites in the summer and confetti storms of gold leaves in the fall, but they are losing ground in Utah's high county. We're working with the Forest Service, ranchers, and other groups to make sure aspen have the chance to take root. More on our aspen restoration work ›
