Some trash left behind by previous campers, and red ants near the tables but otherwise very quiet, beautiful view, clean bathroom, and nice shelter for the site with multiple tent spaces.

*Unreliable reservation system.* A large group was in my reserved site when I arrived at 7 p.m. and there was no ranger or camp host that could help me at all. Very frustrating after having booked the reservation a few months in advance. And of course all other sites were full. Seems very easy to poach a spot at these sites and there is no accountability/camp hosts/rangers to help in a situation like this. This party also used their generator during hours you were not supposed to. They were not at the site when I initially arrived (but lots of RVs and tents setup). I also would not have felt comfortable confronting them. Book at your own risk.

We were there during the Safari Jeep Week and the area was busy. Despite the business the staff was amazing! Our campsite/campground was clean and well maintained. We always look forward to visiting this area in the spring.

Nice place. Over regulated, but it is busy so I get it.

@JonH8691770 · Camped on Nov 10, 2023 at Campsite #Group Site E-10

Clean and close to the best trails, parking was a little tight but everything else was fantastic. Would do it again.

@JonathonN528E7 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #3

Great site!

@TedK8989637 · Camped on Sep 11, 2023 at Campsite #Group Site E-1

Overall great. Noisy with ATVs but to be expected. Don't why though they can't put an open air, shed roof of sorts over the toilet. Have been there when it's pouring and had to erect our own tarp rain shelter over the toilet

Echo Campground was awesome!

@MaryC1377445 · Camped on Jun 10, 2023 at Campsite #E10

Perfect campsite and access to the best backroads!

The size was awesome! Beautiful views, flat, close to the bathrooms. When we arrived over an hour after our site was available to occupy there was a very large group from the night before that had not even started to back up. I would have liked to have seen better oversight at the time people should be out of the site so that we were not waiting in the car with small kids after a long drive to get set up.

Absolutely love this place!

Very quiet, beautiful area.

@AnneM9161985 · Camped on Apr 11, 2023 at Campsite #4

They were doing some construction in the area which took away a little bit from the quiet, but the improvements to the property underway will be nice for future visitors. It is a beautiful area and it was fun camping there.

@MeganH9481648 · Camped on Apr 11, 2023 at Campsite #3

Clean restrooms. Beautiful views. Easy assess to Moab.

@BRYANW2909940 · Camped on Apr 9, 2023 at Campsite #2

Great spot. A little dusty at times, but to be expected.

@JillianM396545 · Camped on Apr 7, 2023 at Campsite #4

Great location with amazing views!

@HeatherW288312 · Camped on Mar 27, 2023 at Campsite #1

The staff is super friendly and helpful and we love the Datura group campsite!

@JasonK9381533 · Camped on Mar 25, 2023 at Campsite #4

I booked both Datura C and D group sites because we were going to have a large group getting together for spring break. Most of the individuals were going to be camping in their vans, with one group bringing a small pop up trailer, another in the back of a Tacoma, and one group pitching a couple small tents. The information on the Recreation.gov site is misleading, stating you could only park 2 vehicles at site C and 3 at site D. Site D had a huge parking area. We easily fit 8 vehicles in this site for one evening with no detriments to campground access or other campers. Site C could easily accommodate 3 vehicles, although the parking spot was not level for camper vans. Because of this misinformation and the better parking in Site D, we didn't even utilize Site C for the majority of the week we had booked. This misinformation on the recreation.gov site is the only reason I can't give the site 5 stars. Other than the misinformation, the campsites were amazing. You have sun all day at these sites, which is awesome in the spring, the bathrooms were spotless and despite the proximity to 4x4 trails the sites are amazingly quiet. In the future I would book only Datura Site D for a large group of people.

Beautiful camp site in a great location

@JeffP3506157 · Camped on Mar 10, 2023 at Campsite #2

windy up on the flats in the spring.

@jasonl2729902 · Camped on Mar 7, 2023 at Campsite #E1

This spot is a hidden gem! Perfectly places with good seclusion with mature junipers well placed and a good sized rock hill right next to the camp site! We loved our time there and will be back for sure!!!

@Charlotte41078 · Camped on Oct 19, 2022 at Campsite #E1

We arrived on a Wednesday late afternoon (in mid October) and had a reservation for one night in a group site (Echo). The site was only available that night. We were fortunate to find another non-reservable group site the next morning for the remainder of our visit. Beautiful area and easy access to Arches, Canyonlands, and downtown Moab. We will definitely be back!

@RossH623 · Camped on Dec 9, 2021 at Campsite #E1

Sand Flats has some of the best access to amazing off road trails and spectacular scenery! December is still a wonderful time of year, just be prepared for the cold. Maintenance crews are busy making repairs and improvements to keep this camping area in great condition.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
