Great hosts loved our site. Nearby towns for essential items and very quiet. We had site 1 and it easily fit our 42ft 5ver and tow truck.

Our Stay at Devil's Canyon was great. We had to switch sites from 33 to 7 to get a level spot. Fortunately, the campground was not crowded so switching was not a problem. The upper loop has very nice new sites with concrete pads and fire area. It rained on our night there, so we did not have the chance to use it. The host was friendly and very cooperative for our site switch. This is a great alternative campground if you can't get in at Canyonlands Park.

The sites are nice and tree lined with a lot of space between sites. The outhouses might be the cleanest we have encountered. It is well worth the $20/night.
