Devils Garden Campground

Devils Garden Campground is the only campground at Arches National Park. You can reserve campsites for nights between March 1 and October 31. During this busy season, the campground is usually full every night. If you're arriving at Arches without a reservation, you'll probably have to look for a campsite outside the park.

Between November and February, campsites are first-come, first-served. Winter campers are encouraged to download the Recreation.gov app before arriving at the park and use its Scan & Pay function to pay for their site.

Late summer monsoon season brings violent storm cells which often cause flash floods. Winters are cold, with highs averaging 30° to 50°F (-1° to 10°C), and lows averaging 0° to 20°F (-17° to -6°C)
