Grandstaff Campground | Utah

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

The Moab Field Office will close Grandstaff Campground, along State Route 128, or River Road, from March 9 to October 31, 2026, to provide a safe staging area for construction equipment used for the Colorado River Trail Gap project, which will extend the paved bike path all the way to Grandstaff Canyon. Access will remain open and available for Grandstaff Canyon Trailhead and the Porcupine Rim parking area. For more information about this closure, please see our announcement.
