About
Courthouse Rock Campground sits in the high desert north of Moab, Utah, surrounded by blackbrush and sagebrush hills with iconic red rock formations on the horizon. The area served as a reliable campsite for Old Spanish Trail traders as a halfway point between the Colorado River and Floy Wash. Native Americans and the Elk Mountain Mission of 1855 also traveled through and camped here. The campground comprises 10 sites on gravel pads that can accommodate large RVs and trailers. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table, with vault toilets nearby. There is no potable water, shade, or hookups. Sites 5 and 6 are reservable equestrian sites with horse corrals and trailer parking. The remaining eight sites operate first-come, first-served. The Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite is a short walk from the campground with interpretive panels describing the unique dinosaur tracks visible in the rock. The Mill Canyon Dinosaur Bone Trail, about one mile away, showcases dinosaur bones still encased in rock. Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are nearby, along with numerous OHV and mountain bike trails in the immediate area.
Directions
From Moab, take Highway 191 North for approximately 16 miles. Turn left onto the graveled Mill Canyon Road for approximately one mile. Turn left at the first Y in the road, then take the next right into the campground.
