Best Time to Camp at Hatch Point Campground
Blessed with clear skies nearly 80% of the year, Hatch Point delivers spectacular conditions for both sunrise photography and nighttime stargazing. Summer days can soar to a toasty 38°C (100°F), perfect for early morning explorations before seeking shade during peak hours. Evening temperatures typically settle around a comfortable 18°C (64°F), ideal for campfire conversations under the stars. Winter visitors should prepare for dramatic temperature swings and occasional dustings of snow that transform the mesa into a high desert wonderland, creating an entirely different but equally magical camping experience.

Planning Tips
About Hatch Point Campground
Perched atop a windswept mesa 56 miles southwest of Moab, Hatch Point Campground beckons those seeking true desert solitude. This remote sanctuary offers uninterrupted views that stretch to the horizon, where red rock meets endless sky. As darkness falls, the campground transforms into an astronomer's paradise, with the Milky Way painting a brilliant arc overhead. With no reservations required and a self-service approach, this pristine location welcomes adventurers ready to disconnect from the world below. Visitors should note that water is no longer available on-site, so bringing adequate supplies is essential for your mesa-top adventure.
Hatch Point Campground caters primarily to primitive camping, with limited facilities and remote access.
Weather and SeasonsBlessed with clear skies nearly 80% of the year, Hatch Point delivers spectacular conditions for both sunrise photography and nighttime stargazing.

Winter visitors should prepare for dramatic temperature swings and occasional dustings of snow that transform the mesa into a high desert wonderland, creating an entirely different but equally magical camping experience.
ElevationFrom its commanding mesa-top position, Hatch Point offers a bird's-eye perspective of the surrounding canyon country. This elevated perch not only provides sweeping 360-degree vistas but also creates a natural buffer from the desert floor below, offering cooler temperatures and constant breezes that whisper through camp. The isolation afforded by this lofty location makes it feel as though you're camping on the edge of the world.
Natural Features and SceneryThe campground serves as your personal viewing platform for the Canyon Rims Recreation Area's spectacular tapestry of erosion-carved wonders. From your tent door, watch as morning light ignites distant canyon walls in shades of crimson and gold, while afternoon shadows create an ever-changing landscape of depth and drama. Desert wildflowers dot the mesa in spring, while hardy piñon and juniper trees provide natural windbreaks and shade. Lucky visitors might spot desert bighorn sheep navigating the rim rocks or golden eagles riding the thermals that rise from the canyons below.
Geological RegionHatch Point sits majestically atop its mesa throne, offering front-row seats to the geological theater of the Canyon Rims Recreation Area. This remarkable landscape tells a story written in stone, where ancient seas and rivers carved the dramatic canyons visible from camp. The proximity to Canyonlands National Park means you're camping at the edge of one of Earth's most spectacular erosional landscapes, where millions of years of geological history lie exposed in the colorful rock layers stretching to the horizon.

Good to know
Trash and recyclingA couple of trash cans are available on-site, as noted in user reviews.
Common complaintsThe absence of potable water has been repeatedly noted in user reviews as a key drawback. Dusty gravel roads have also been mentioned as less convenient compared to paved access roads at nearby campgrounds.
Campground Map
Driving directionsDrive 32 miles south of Moab on Highway 191 to the Canyon Rims Recreation Area turnoff. Follow that road approximately 15 miles west on the paved road, then turn right on the graveled road towards Anticline Overlook and drive about 9 miles to the campground.
Access involves approximately 16 miles of dusty gravel roads, which are said to be graded and all-weather, though not paved like other nearby campgrounds (e.g., WindWhistle). Seasonal conditions may further impact accessibility.Nearby places
