Wingate Campground and Yurts

Lodging and Camping

Follow this park

The Wingate Campground sits atop the mesa with far-reaching views of the area’s mountain ranges and deep canyons. This campground contains thirty-one (31) campsites, twenty (20) of which have electrical hookups that support RV, or tent campers, while eleven (11) are hike-in tent-only sites. This means a physical tent is required. All sites have fire pits, picnic tables under shade shelters, and access to bathrooms with running water and dishwashing sinks. RV sites will accommodate vehicles up to 56′ and there is a dump station at the entrance to the campground.

If sites are not reserved, they can be bought first-come-first-served at the park on the day of arrival. Advanced reservations can not be made from the park.

The Wingate Campground also holds four yurts. Visit our Wingate Yurt page for more information.

A maximum number of 8 people and one “camping unit” are allowed at each site. Dead Horse Point State Park has defined “camping units” as RVs, camping trailers, pop-up trailers, sprinter vans, and any other vehicle that has been built, or augmented, for the sole purpose of long-term camping. A combination of one camping unit and tents may be used as long as the tents are only on the tent pad or asphalt section of the camping site. No exceptions to these standards.

31 Sites/20 RV & Tent/11 Hike-In Tent Only/2 sites are ADA Accessible

Check-in: 3 p.m. Check-out: 12 p.m.

Things to Know

Water is not available to fill up RVs. The water table is too low for a well so the park must truck it up every day. The closest town to fill up at is Moab, UT.
Pets must be leashed and attended to at all times while outdoors. Pets may not be left outside unattended. Dog waste bags are available throughout the park.
Fires are permitted in the established fire pits of the park; however, wood can not be gathered from the environment. Bundles of wood are sold at the Visitor Center and Entrance Station or in Moab.
Keep your campsite clean. While we are not in “bear country,” any animal that gets human food can become a nuisance animal. Food and trash must be kept in hard-sided containers or vehicles.
There is access to the West Rim Trail that can be accessed next to Yurt #9 and there is a trail by Yurt #6 that will connect hikers to the Kayenta Campground and a path to the Visitor Center.
All campsites in the park require a reservation.
We do not have a gate that closes at 10 p.m., but quiet hours are maintained from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Things to Know

Dead Horse Point does not have a natural water source. Please conserve water while staying at the yurts. The spigots should be used for drinking, cooking, and cleaning, please do not play with the water or use it for bathing.
There are no EV charging stations for yurt occupants at this time, and extension cords may not be used. Fast charging stations are available in Lions Park in the City of Moab.
Fires are permitted in the established fire pits of the park; however, wood can not be gathered from the environment. Bundles of wood are sold at the Visitor Center and Entrance Station or in Moab. Bring your own camp chairs to enjoy your fire.
Help us out by keeping your yurt clean. Please sweep the floor before you leave and cleaning spray and rags are available to wipe up any spills. Cooking must be done outside and no open flames are allowed in the yurts. Gas grills are provided for cooking use. Keep indoor furniture indoors. Take your trash to the dumpsters by the dump station as you leave.
Heating and cooling units exist in each yurt. Please turn them off upon departure.
Trash collection is costly at the park. Please consolidate and compact trash before putting it in our dumpsters or take it with you to a town.
Pets are not allowed within the Wingate yurts. Pets must also be attended to at all times while in the park so they can not be left in cars or leashed outside the yurts. If you know someone staying in a Wingate or Kayenta campsite with a pet, remember that the pet can not visit the yurt. If you would like to spend the night in the park with your furry friend, consider the Moenkopi yurts.
- Dogs that meet the ADA definition of service animals are welcome in the Wingate yurts. You may be asked by park staff if your dog is required because of a disability, and/or, what task your dog has been trained to perform according to the ADA compliance requirements. The ADA does not recognize emotional support animals and a doctor’s letter does not give an emotional support animal public access rights.
- If you are a customer with allergies to dogs please be advised that there is a possibility that service dogs have been present in the park’s yurts.
