Attention:
Starting on Monday, August 20th through Thursday, August 30th, 2018 Sand Flats is having a concrete ramp constructed at the Hell’s Revenge Trailhead Exit. This ramp will be similar to the ramp constructed on the Entrance side from the parking lot last year. During the construction period the Exit fin will be closed and vehicles will need to enter and exit via the original Entrance fin. The Exit fin will be blocked off and signs posted. This new ramp will decrease damage to the asphalt parking lot.
Sorry for any inconvenience, Sand Flats management
Sand Flats Recreation Area
The Sand Flats Recreation Area (SFRA) near Moab, Utah is a nationally significant public lands treasure at the heart of the Colorado Plateau. A high plain of slickrock domes, bowls and fins, it rises in the east to meet the colorful mesas and nearly 13,000 foot peaks of the La Sal Mountains.
Bordering the area on the north and south are the canyons of the Negro Bill and Mill Creek Wilderness Study Areas. Further north lies the deep gorge of the Colorado River and Arches National Park.
Activities
Sand Flats’ famous Slickrock and Porcupine Rim bike trails and almost 30 miles of 4x4 trails including
Fins and Things and Hell's Revenge trails are world-renowned for their combination of challenge and awesome scenery. Sand Flats is also popular for camping. Approximately 160,000 visitors enjoy this 9,000 acre recreation area annually.
Campsites cannot be reserved, but are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
In the spring and fall campgrounds are typically full Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and 75% to full other nights. Approximately 30% of the campsites turn over each morning. Your best chance of getting a campsite is to arrive before 3 pm. Check out facebook link below for updates.
