Driving directionsFrom the center of Moab (Center St. and Main St.), head south to Kane Creek Road (between the Burger King and McDonald’s). Turn right (west) on Kane Creek Road. At the stop sign, continue straight. The road is paved for 4 miles and then turns into a gravel road with two shallow wash crossings and one short, steep switchback.

Best Time to Camp at The Ledge Campground

Time your visit wisely to experience The Ledge at its finest. Spring brings wildflower blooms and perfect camping weather, while fall offers crisp nights ideal for campfire gatherings. Summer transforms the valley into a sun-baked arena where only the most heat-tolerant adventurers venture out, with temperatures that can challenge even seasoned desert campers. Winter visitors should prepare for gusty winds that sweep through the canyon, adding an extra element of adventure to your stay.

About The Ledge Campground

Nestled in a dramatic red rock valley, The Ledge Campground offers adventurers a gateway to rugged desert exploration across five distinct camping areas and 105 individual sites. This off-road paradise has become a gathering place for ATV, UTV, and 4WD enthusiasts who come to test their machines against the challenging terrain. While the exposed desert landscape provides minimal shade and lacks water hook-ups, the raw beauty and endless trails more than compensate for these rustic conditions.
The Ledge Campground is a versatile destination offering both individual and group camping options. Group sites are reservable, while individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
