The Bureau of Land Management maintains 24 campgrounds in the Moab area. These sites have no reservation system and are available on a first arrival basis. The BLM provides limited facilities at these campsites, with limited water and a lack of RV hookups. These campgrounds have a $15/night camp fee which is paid on site with cash or check. Camp site stays are limited to 14 days within a 30 day period. Group camping is limited to certain campgrounds (see map), and have a reservation system through recreation.gov.
