Courthouse Rock Campground Utah

Courthouse Rock Overview

Courthouse Rock Campground has 10 primitive (first-come, first-serve) campsites just off U.S. Highway 191 and only 15 minutes from Arches National Park.  The BLM campground is also next to the trailhead for the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite. The area is open and exposed with views of large hills and rock formations.  Back in the day, it was also used as a campsite for Old Spanish Trail traders.

Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs (up to 40 feet). Each site also has a gravel parking area (up to 35 feet), table fire ring and grill. A few horse corrals are also available for equestrian campers.  You can have up to 3 vehicles and 10 people per site. Open year round, amenities include vault toilets and trash collection. Potable (drinking) water is not available.  Cell service is good in the area.

Paleontologists have found a treasure trove of dinosaur remains in the rock formations of the Moab area. The record of dinosaurs and other ancient animals in the Moab area is one of the best in the country. The Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite is a short walk from the campground and the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Bone Trail is one mile from the campground.

Courthouse Rock and the Monitor and Merrimac rock formations set the backdrop for the campground.
