Campsites & Amenities

Along with easy access to biking, hiking and 4×4 trails, Sand Flats' campgrounds offer spectacular views of sandstone domes, fins, canyons and the ever-changing La Sal Mountains. Visitors are awed by beautiful sunsets, the magic of howling coyotes and a night sky of seemingly unlimited stars.

Camping is in designated sites only, and visitors are required to abide by all posted rules. Sand Flats has over 140 individual campsites in nine campgrounds marked 'A' through ‘H’ and Juniper. 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 20% of the campsites turn over each morning. Your best chance of getting a campsite in the spring and fall is to arrive before noon. Check out Sand Flats Facebook page for updates. In the summer and winter months campgrounds do not fill. Please see the map for campsite locations below.

Campsites have picnic tables, metal fire rings and nearby vault toilets. Campsites are limited to 10 people and 2 vehicles per site and all vehicles must park in the provided parking areas. Campers will need to bring drinking water. Checkout time is 11 a.m.

If you are planning on camping mid-May to mid-September be aware that daytime temperatures will be mid 90's to 105 degrees Fahrenheit or more. Campsites have limited shade. Night time temperatures are pleasant. Campgrounds do not fill in the summer months.
