Hal Canyon Campground

Sleep under starry skies on the banks of the Colorado River at Hal Canyon Campground, just outside Moab, Utah

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.
