Come camp Where The Wild Things Camp! Let the awe-inspiring views of the majestic slick rock, sage and juniper surround you in the peace and quiet of this beautifully secluded desert space. Centrally located to the best Canyonlands has to offer, our camp is located on 25 acres less than half a mile from Looking Glass Arch, a popular rock climbing destination which got its name from the conquistadors who would climb to the top and look through a “looking glass” for landmarks that would lead them back to Santa Fe. Moab is 25 miles to our North, about a 30 minute drive. The nearest convenience store/gas station is in the tiny town of La Sal, 12 miles NE of us. Although the Lasal Jct. now has burger truck, showers, ice and snacks. The nearby La Sal mountains rise to over 12,000 in elevation and is a great place to get out of the heat and enjoy lakes surrounded by beautiful pine and aspen forests. As the name suggests, Where The Wild Things Camp truly is wild and not for everyone. We are off grid, meaning there is NO electricity, no drinking water, and only "spotty" cell phone service is best just anywhere before bathrooms. Make sure to check the weather forecast before coming out and be prepared for anything as the weather here in the desert can be unpredictable and ALWAYS stake down your tents! Porta-Potty's available. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRACTICE PACK-IT-IN AND PACK-IT-OUT. Trash service not available. NON-AGGRESSIVE dogs are always welcome, however please keep in mind that a lot of our wild friends also live here, such as coyotes, rattlesnakes, deer and antelope. We wouldn’t want your pets or our friends harmed in any way! From Moab: Drive south on Hwy 191 for approximately 23 miles and turn right (east) onto Looking Glass Rd/Co. Rd. 131 (It will be the first right after La Sal Junction) Continue on this road for 1.4 miles until you see a wide gravel road branching off to the left. Turn left, this road will branch again in .03 miles, turn to the right and continue straight (another .5 mile to WHERE THE WILD THINGS CAMP!! From Monticello: Drive north on Hwy 191 for approximately 31 miles and turn left onto Looking Glass Rd/Co. Rd 131 (It will be the first left after Wilson Arch). https://earth.google.com/earth...

Where the Wild Things Tent/Car Camp

Gorgeous!

This was a great location! Easy to access from the main road, but tucked back enough that you feel like you're in the wild and can fall asleep to the sound of owls and wind through the juniper and sage. The camp host was friendly and helpful, and really creative with each site. We loved all of the artistic and thoughtful touches. The porta-johns were clean and well stocked. We all had a fantastic time climbing and exploring before having a great fire and seeing the sun set behind Looking Glass Rock.

Great Wilderness Spot!

Great wilderness spot, views of looking glass rock. All the pleasure and peacefulness of BLM camping without the effort of finding a good spot. Steven was a great host, and communicated everything we needed and more!

Where the Wild Things Tent/Car Camp

Amazing campsite!

This campsite is great. Period. Excellent views all around, the sites are spacious and serene. Not hard to find if you follow the directions given by Steven, and close to Moab, Arches and Canyonland.

Where the Wild Things Tent/Car Camp

Beautiful property with incredible sunsets. Pretty much had the entire property to ourselves. Close enough to Moab for dinner but not to close for the chaos and off road vehicles that are everywhere. Would love to stay there again for more than one night.
