Sand Flats Recreation Area Group Campsites

Sand Flats Recreation Area offers a truly unique backcountry experience nestled among the dramatic sandstone domes, canyons, and mesas of the Southwest. With the towering La Sal Mountains serving as a breathtaking backdrop, visitors are treated to unparalleled sunsets and some of the clearest, star-filled night skies in the region. It is an ideal escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the raw, natural beauty of the Utah landscape.

The area is world-renowned for its extensive network of mountain biking and off-highway vehicle trails, including the famous Slickrock Bike Trail. The group campsites provide a rustic setting for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring essential amenities such as vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings to facilitate a comfortable stay. Firewood is also available for those cool desert evenings under the stars.

This location is best suited for adventurous groups, mountain bikers, and backcountry campers who enjoy a primitive, self-sufficient experience. Whether you are traveling by RV or setting up a tent, the site serves as a perfect basecamp for exploring the rugged terrain. Because this is a remote, year-round BLM managed area, visitors should come prepared to embrace the solitude and wild character of the high desert.
