Devils Garden Campground

There is no rooms for rent here but you can camp along the way. We had our dog with us and dogs are not allowed on hiking trails...? Strange to me but rules are in place for a reason. We didn't do many hikea due to having our dog. But we did try the offroad section. And unpaved road to tower arch. Make sure you have a capable 4x4 with good clearance and 4x4 low. Fun day for sure.

We stayed at Devils Garden Campground in October and had an amazing experience. The location is unbeatable—just minutes from the Devils Garden Trail, which makes early morning hikes super convenient. The campground itself is well-maintained. The restrooms were clean throughout our stay, and I really appreciated the designated area for washing dishes. The best sites for Tent Camping in my opinion are #3, #4, #25, and #26—great views and good privacy. Devils Garden is absolutely worth it. I’d definitely stay here again!

This is tied for Jumbo Rock Campground in Joshua Tree for our favorite campground! Half of the sites backed up into the large red rocks and the other half had beautiful views over the mountains and valley, perfect for sunrise. The sites were separate enough to allow for privacy. All were equipped with a tent site and built in fire ring with grill. The bathrooms were easily accessible. Our volunteer camp hosts, Susan and Matt, also completely made the experience for us, ensuring we felt welcomed and found the right site!

Nice campground with killer views! Sites are padded and spacious! Tucked away from the busy hubs and popular arches. A bit of a drive from the busy entrance so allow more time to pitch your tent or get settled before dark. Amenities include water, BBQ grill, fire pits, pit/flush toilets. Little to no cell coverage. Dress warm for extreme cold nights. Watch out for heavy rains or snow. Some drawbacks are it’s a bit of a drive from stores & resto & lack of cell coverage.

Each site has a generous area to both set up your tent and park. On most sites you can walk away from the road a little if you want seclusion. There's flushing toilets and a dish sink. All of this in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

The campsite is beautiful and has great access to hiking trails. However, tent campers be wary. We were unable to stake our tent at our site, because there was a very shallow layer of sand upon solid rock. We tried using bags of sand to anchor our tent but it was super windy (30+ mph gusts), but that wasn’t effective. We ended up tying our tent to the picnic table and putting all our gear in our tent to keep it from flying away. Our rain fly was acting as a sail too, so we ended up taking it off, and sand whipped through the mesh. Our site was also not flat, but could have been better at other sites 🤷🏻‍♀️ There was water on site, latrine, flush toilets, and sinks. No showers or soap (only hand sanitizer), so prepare to be gritty. There was also an amphitheater in the campground with evening ranger talks that we enjoyed. Overall, we loved Arches and the campground probably would be fine as an RV, but do not recommend for tents.

The campground is extremely well managed – the sites are clearly marked, well spaced, and offer beautiful surroundings. Everything was very clean, from the restrooms to the campsites themselves, which is impressive given how remote the area is. You can tell the rangers and staff take pride in keeping the campground in top shape. The only real downside is the lack of electric hookups. Like most national park campgrounds, Devils Garden is rustic, which we expected, but in mid-July, temperatures stayed around 104°F (40°C) even at night. While generators are allowed during certain hours, once quiet hours kicked in, it really felt like we were in the "Devil’s Garden" – nooooo. breeze….

This campground was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Arches National Park. If you can, stay at Juniper Basin—it was hands down the highlight of our entire road trip. The scenery, atmosphere, and overall experience made it unforgettable. Perfect spot for exploring the park and making lasting memories. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.
