Added by Andy Earl

Goblin Valley is easy access fun. Exploring these ancient hoodoos is something just about anyone can do and enjoy. Great campsites available via reservation. BLM land just outside of the park if you didn't reserve a campsite.

Goblin Valley State Park is in a rural section of southern Utah, but if you type it into Google Maps you will go straight there. There are awesome campsites within the park but they require reservations. If you didn't take the time to reserve a campsite, don't worry, there is plenty of BLM land right outside the park. The rangers are awesome there and they will give you a good idea of where to camp.

There is a fee required to get into the park. Once in it is a short drive and a quick walk to hoodoo heaven. For daytime exploration, check out this adventure.

Camp at Goblin Valley

01/06/23

Stayed here 9/5-6/22 in a 39ft 5er. A last minute decision, having left Moab early due to excessive heat. Pricey at $45/night for NO hook-ups, but does include the $20 park entrance fee. Stayed on site #20, which afforded a nice view of the surrounding cliffs. Overall, a pleasant campground, with just a few other campers. Ranger was helpful in suggesting nearby sights. So glad we took the time to explore Little Wild Horse Canyon!! Only hiked about 2-2.5 miles of its 8 mile loop, but were so impressed with the slot canyon!! Walked among the goblins at night for interesting pictures. Next time, I think we'll try one of the nearby dispersed BLM camping areas.

Exploring Goblin Valley

Goblin Valley Can entertain you for 1 hour or 10. There are no established trails, so you are free to wander around the entire park. There are cliffs to climb, slot canyons to explore and hoodoos to discover. From the parking area, you descend about 100 feet into the valley. Once you are down there, the whole place is fairly flat unless you decide to climb on things.One of my favorite things to...

Hike to Goblin's Lair and Carmel Canyon

This beautiful, isolated hike also makes for a flexible route – very few places in Goblin Valley are off limits, allowing you to customize the adventure as much as you please. The hike begins on a rapidly descending trail, heading into the heart of Goblin Valley State Park. After a quarter mile of steep descents, the trail levels and winds through the mysterious hoodoo formations. Any signs o...

Hiking Little Wild Horse Canyon & Bell Canyon Loop

The Little Wild Horse Canyon/Bell Canyon loop hike is a classic southern Utah experience. Little Wild Horse Canyon is the better of the two canyons, so if you can only do part of the hike do Little Wild Horse. If you're doing a loop of both, save the best for last and go up Bell Canyon and down Little Wild Horse. It is an easy hike with no major obstacles. There is also plenty of camping nearb...

Photographing Dutchman's Arch

Duchman's Arch is visible from I-70 but ask anyone about it and they will look at you with a blank face. It's a great medium sized sandstone arch but getting there takes time and patience driving down sandy, rutted out, washboard roads.To get to the arch, take exit 131 and turn east. Follow the frontage road until it turns to dirt. From here, follow the main road and follow the old and sun cha...

Explore the Temple of the Sun & Moon and Glass Mountain

The temple of the sun and moon are accessed from Cathedral Rd. in Capitol Reef National Park, the road is a 4x4 high clearance vehical road. Upon arriving at the Temples which are called “monoliths”, the giant rocks protrude from the earth, and are something like a fine piece of art. This is a popular spot for photography that only about 10% of park visitors access. Just to the right of the mon...

Camp in Capitol Reef National Park

From Interstate 70, the road can be accessed from the west just a few miles from Highway 6, and from the east just near the town of Richfield. It also meets up at the north end of Highway 12 at the town of Teasdale. There is a major campsite at Capitol Reef National Park, but also many RV sites and small motels along the highway. In total the highway is 160 miles, but the best part is the 50 mi...
