Dead Horse State Point Park camping is an amazing and less well-known option for a trip to Moab. The two campgrounds, Wingate Campground and Kayenta Campground, in this Utah State Park, offer tent camping, RV camping or staying in a yurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent Thanksgiving in our RV at the Kayenta Campground at Dead Horse Point State Park.  We found this place to be a secret gem in the Moab area.  It’s a perfect place for staying a couple of days to explore Dead Horse Point State Park and a base for adventuring around Moab.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent 4 days camping here, taking in the scenic views and hiking the trails at Dead Horse State Park.  During that time, we also made this our home base for visiting Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and the Moab area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After spending time here we think Dead Horse Point State Park is a surprisingly nice place to camp.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were happy to have the RV and electricity in the cold late November nights.  Tent camping would be really enjoyable in the early fall and late spring when the daytime weather is mild and the nights are cool but not too cold.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option at this park is staying in one of the yurts at the campgrounds.  You would have more structure than a tent and heat\/air conditioning, yet the same feel of camping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
