Canyonland Nationl Park

Has anyone done any boondocking close to Canyonland NP with a RV, which we have a fifth wheel and aren't scared to get off the 'beaten path' with it.

As 2gypsies said much of the good boondocking close to Moab/Canyonlands has been shut down due to overuse/abuse and I strongly suspect lobbying from campgrounds. There is some out Kane Creek road along with some first come primitive camps near the river a bit closer to town along the same road. All the good stuff south of town has been shut down, not sure about up north.

We like Horsethief campground on the way out to Dead Horse Point for more "away from it" camping, if visiting Moab proper Ken's lake has some nice sites, early/mid May is prime time so I'd arrive mid week and look for a spot.

The link 2gypsies gave you is the same one I was going to post. Good luck and have fun.

There are 3 distinct Canyonlands NP areas. Maze,Needles and Islands In The Sky.Which of the 3 are you interested in nearby BLM camping?

Here's the BLM site for that area. There are restrictions on where you can camp because of heavy use so don't plan to plop down just anywhere you see a good spot.

As I stated in another post of yours, since you're going in May you might want to stay at Dead Horse Point State Park (reservations) because they have electric. May will be hot.
