Willow Springs Road BLM campground, Moab UT…


After leaving Willow Canyon I headed south east towards Moab UT.  Now I have been to Moab before and I really liked the place.  I knew of a campground just about 12 miles from town that I had visited before, so that’s where I decided to go.  Below is a short video of one section of Utah I traversed on my way to Moab…



It was late in the day when I arrived and there were lots of other RVer’s and campers already nestled into the area.  I made a short trip back the main road of the campground and then decided to try out another site nearby.  However, on the way out I noticed a series of campsites off to one side where no one was camping.  I pulled off and walked the area to see if I could find a good camping spot and I did.  The area is too rough for most RVs to navigate, which was to my benefit, and I pretty much had the area to myself.  Some overnight tent campers did setup nearby, but it was a great place and although I only planned to stay a day or two, I would have enjoyed a longer stay…

The elevation is about 4,200’, so the sun still has that high altitude intensity, but the weather hovered in the low 80s, with mid 50s at night, and the stars were beautiful at night.  This is one of my go-to campsites if I’m in this area.  It was one of the first I stayed at back last fall when I was traveling from Colorado to Arizona, I will be back…
