All campsites at Canyonlands Basecamp are dry camping sites. Individual campsites do not include electrical, water, or sewer hookups.

Guests have access to:

• A centralized fresh water fill station

• An on-site RV dump station.

Guests must be self-contained or prepared for traditional camping conditions.

This low-infrastructure design preserves space, quiet atmosphere, and natural high-desert setting that make Canyonlands Basecamp unique.

Site Use & Occupancy

Maximum Occupancy

Each campsite allows 6 guests, regardless of camping style (RV, van, rooftop tent, or ground tent).

Site Boundaries

All camping equipment, tents, vehicles, and outdoor setups must remain within the boundaries of your reserved campsite.

Canyonlands Basecamp is private property, not dispersed public land. Expanding into open areas, neighboring sites, or common areas is not permitted.

Camping Types Welcome

We welcome a variety of camping styles, including:

• Self-contained RVs

• Vans

• Rooftop tents

• Ground tents:

Some sites include dedicated tent pads. Other sites allow tents behind your primary vehicle if space permits.

Multiple Vehicles are permitted only on select wider sites. All vehicles must fit entirely within your site boundary.

Vehicles may not block roadways, extend into neighboring sites, or park in open land areas.

Groups & Gatherings

Large Groups

Large group gatherings are not permitted unless all campsites on the property are reserved by the same group.

Even with a full-property reservation:

• Quiet hours remain in effect

• Excessive noise or disruptive parties are not allowed

• Respect for neighboring Canyonlands Domes guests is required

Canyonlands Basecamp is designed as a quiet retreat, not a festival-style campground.

We reserve the right to end any gathering that disrupts the retreat atmosphere.
