Lone Mesa 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.

From the visitor center in Moab, Utah, drive 11 miles north on Hwy 191. Turn left onto UT 313, and continue for another 8 miles towards Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. Look for a small BLM campground sign and turn right onto Spring Canyon Bottom Road. The entrance to Lone Mesa Campground is a few hundred feet down the road on the right. Drive up the gravel driveway to the top of the mesa.
