Experience the Southwest in a secluded & peaceful part of SE Utah. South of Moab, Canyon Lands & Arches National Park. North of Monument Valley. Watch amazing stars and sunsets above the crowds and heat of Moab below.
This area is dedicated to primitive camping, fire pits and firewood are available onsite. Showers and bathrooms are available in the main site area which is a five minute walk.
Soon after you pass Indian Canyon the road gets bumpy for about 30 yards. Generally if you stay all the way to the west, towards the mountains it’s easiest. Or pick an easy route down the center of the road. High clearance recommended but skilled drivers can negotiate the route without much effort.
The space
As you enter the gate to the property gate, camping is available on either side of the driveway, choose your spot. To get to the main site you can continue on the driveway for about five minutes walking and will come to the showers, outhouse, Wi-Fi, etc. This specific campsite though is for primitive camping only and has no services other than firewood, fire pits and a picnic table. If you were to continue on Brushey Terrace, you will end up on the national forest land. The road gets quite a bit worse after the gate to the property and is accessible by four-wheel-drive vehicles only.
Guest access
The host house is nearby further down the driveway on the way to the main site if you need assistance please text or call.
Other things to note
You will likely be greeted by three friendly dogs, the collie is Roxy The healer is Cortez, and the brindle is River. Cortez and Roxy are still a puppies and tend to jump up on you though they are learning. Feel free to be firm if they jump.

About the host
Hosted by Joe T

Joe spent 20 years working in national parks including The Grand Canyon and Yosemite. He also spent approximately 10 years traveling, studying and working abroad in different states and countries. He discovered this property while guiding tours throughout the American west over seven years. During his travels he learned the basics of several languages including Romanian Spanish German Polish and a smattering of French and Italian. Please feel free to share your language and keep his skills in practice.
Why they chose this property
Indian Canyon Ranch is located approximately 2 miles off the highway down a bumpy dirt road. The road Starts out fine but gets bumpier on Brushey Terrace and is not ideal for sports cars or low clearance vehicles but can be accessed by a skilled driver in said vehicles. Indian Canyon and Rosie Lane are both narrow rough roads but short. Rosie ends just past the Ranch on the edge of a small canyon on the edge of national forest and surrounded by open terrain free for your exploring.
Other things to note
You will likely be greeted by two friendly dogs, the black one is Bear, the brindle is River. River is still a puppy and tends to jump up on you though he is learning. Feel free to be firm if he jumps.

The water in the shower house is heated by the sun. All water is manually hauled in so conservation is essential.

Condiments in the kitchen cabinets and refrigerator are there for your use, the refrigerator is inside the shed next to the kitchen. The Wi-Fi password is on the whiteboard in the kitchen. The cabinet on the deck contains the Wi-Fi center and an inverter to plug in your devices if you need to charge them.
