Reviews
Moonflower Canyon Recreation Area offers a spacious and scenic group camping experience near Moab with beautiful red rock surroundings and starry night skies. While many users praise its large campsites, picnic facilities, and cleanliness, some report issues with road accessibility, site management, and limited vehicle accommodation. Pit toilets are available but have some drawbacks.

Lots of space, and having a shaded picnic shelter was nice. Good views and access to hurrah pass. It was however very windy, and has been every time we've camped in the area, so be prepared to be sand blasted! It usually dies down at night however. Also, lots of UTV drivers flying up and down the road blasting music, so not exactly a serene camping experience- but it makes a good basecamp (especially if you are an off-roader) not too far from Moab.

Big campsite! Room for lots of vehicles. Nice pavilion with picnic tables. 30 minutes to Moab, beautiful drive in, easy water crossing.

Loved the group site! Location is gorgeous with all the red rock cliffs. Not far from Moab, but feels totally secluded. You can see bazillions of stars at night in the pitch black sky!!

Very nice site with 3 separate drive up sites, one with an awning. Simi private, no other sites near by but road is fairly close.
