Hunter Canyon Campground

Description

Hunter Canyon Campground has awesome campsites, especially if you’re willing to carry your gear a few hundred feet upcanyon to the walk-in sites. This campground is located on Kane Creek Blvd, with tent sites on one side of the road and vehicle-accessible sites on the other.

The walk-in campsites are spread along the mouth of Hunter Canyon, a tributary that flows into Kane Creek. Here, cottonwood trees shade your tent and you have lots of space between you and your neighbors.

The campsites on the other side of the road are closer together and more open, but they sit on the bank of Kane Creek and offer scenic views as well. The only amenities this campground has are fire pits and pit toilets.

Note: You must bring your own water, which is available at Lions Park at the intersection of Hwy 191 and UT 128.

Directions

From the visitor center in Moab, Utah, drive south on Main Street for about 5 blocks. At the stoplight near McDonald’s, turn right onto Kane Creek Blvd. Veer left at the intersection with 500 W, and continue following the road as it bends left at the Colorado River. The paved road turns to gravel where it climbs the cliff walls at Kane Creek Canyon. Drive cautiously, as the road narrows, and blind curves make it difficult to see oncoming traffic. You descend to the bottom of Kane Creek via switchbacks, and arrive at the mouth of Hunter Canyon at 8 miles. Walk-in campsites are to your left, and campsites with vehicle access are to your right.
