About this campground

Upper Onion Creek Campground near Moab Utah is a BLM managed campground providing primitive (no hookup) RV and tent camping up canyon from town. Located south of the highway (away from the Colorado River) the campground is accessed via a graded gravel road. Sites and site pads are gravel also. A very scenic setting with spectacular views of Fisher Towers and the LaSal Mountains. This location is less traveled compared to the campgrounds down by the river and offers a bit more quiet and solitude. Pit toilets are available along with firerings and picnic benches. No water is available. This campground is more open and can easily fit larger RVs. Sites are both backin/ pull in and pull thrus. The location is very exposed to sun, wind and rain. Come prepared for whatever mother nature throws at you.

What campers say

Upper Onion Creek Campground, set in Castle Valley near Fisher Towers off Hwy 128, is a small, rustic BLM site known for strong red‑rock views and close access to Onion Creek and 4WD trails. Sites are gravel/dirt with picnic tables and fire rings, and the campground feels quiet and secluded. Practical tradeoffs include minimal facilities (an open restroom and a vault toilet nearer the trailhead), little shade and occasional wind, limited cell service, and a tendency to fill up early. Good for overlanders and day hikers who want an inexpensive, off‑the‑beaten‑path base.
