Windwhistle Campground

We drove through the campground in early November but decided to find a boondocking site nearby instead. This first-come first served campground is 6 miles off of Hwy 191 and is operated by the BLM. It's on a gravel road and sites are sited along the Roan Bailey Mesa overlooking the Canyon Rims.

It's a pretty standard BLM campground, perhaps a little forgotten with its old-school wooden picnic tables. Not a soul was there when we visited. Drinking water is available from May until it freezes later in the fall. Some shade is available from the pinon and juniper trees.

Not suitable for longer rigs or those needing hookups or generators. Spotty and weak Verizon signal.

Very nice small site and well off the highway. Fees only $10 with Golden Age. Even with Moab jeeping going on was not crowded.

Clean, quiet site with table and fire pit. Water and clean vault toilets nearby. Nice views of the sandstone mesas. Stayed at site #15, very level. Most other sites looked off-level. Weak cell service on T-mobile but Starlink satellite internet was great!

One in, it is great. No Verizon, Visible or Cricket cell service at site 12 but Starlink works well. $10 after Senior Pass discount.

We arrived at 430pm on a Friday in June. There were probably 50% of sites available. Although some sites could take 30 ft, there is no maneuvering room as road In narrow. Other drive thru sites might work, but slide out would hit tree and stairs came down on bush. Site 12 was open and easy enough to back into

Sight is great ( if you ignore vault toilet behind us)

Arrived Friday evening and was lucky enough to find a spot. Facilities are clean, short hiking trail to stretch the legs if you drove a bit. Sites comfortable and give some privacy from your neighbors.
