This is the site of the famous Hells Revenge Jeep trail, as well as a few others. There is a small fee to get in, which gets you a 24hr pass. I think longer passes are available too. As a result there are some basic facilities near the entrance. Hells Revenge is a lot of fun!
Nothing quite like Moab and the Sand Flats ares. Whether you are rock crawling in a Jeep, visiting Arches National Park, riding or hiking, it's one of the most amazing places on Earth.
Awesome place to camp! Really cool little alcoves in the rocks all over the place to block the wind. We came here in the spring for a mountain bike trip and loved it. We also did a UTV trip on the Hell's Revenge Trail that was definitely worth the money. It does get windy at Sand Flats and, as the namesake goes, the sand blows too. Most of the camping here is cheap and close to Moab.
Great out of the way campground in Moab, Lots of sites to choose from. Clean pit toilets, each site has a table, fire ring, and ample space, not all sites are level so search for the one that works best for you. The lady working the gate is super sweet and helpful. It is a bit of a climb to get up there but paved, i would recommend low gear because it's just easier on your engine. Once you get up there you are good though. Views are amazing. Highly recommend
