There’s nothing like Base Camp; the night sky, incredible views, wildlife — all here! The river, and usually a beach, are a short walk from your door. Take one of the watercraft, or rent a side-by-side to visit Wind Caves and Chicken Corner — at less than half the cost of in-town rentals! There are unlimited hikes from the property, and many more nearby. But if you want to get away to a quiet, off-the-grid spot, that’s here too. Some folks just read, enjoy the wildlife, and stargaze.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

- This unit has access to a shared bathroom, with an enclosed outdoor shower and a lockable indoor toilet/sink area
- This property is about 1 hour outside of Moab and is best suited for a true remote stay rather than a home base for day trips
- There are no stores out here; bring your food and whatever you'd like to drink aside from water
- You can kayak by the beach, upriver, and back down, or around the island. During snow runoff, the river may be too swift to use. It doesn't happen every year, but sometimes in May to late June
- This single-story hogan features step-free entry
ACCESS AND VEHICLE RECOMMENDATIONS
- The access road is primarily unpaved. Four-wheel drive is typically not required, but vehicles should have at least 6 inches of ground clearance. Most SUVs, Jeeps, and trucks meet this requirement, while many sedans and vans do not. If your vehicle has limited clearance, you may encounter difficulties along Hurrah Pass, which is part of the route to the property. The home is located approximately 17 miles from Moab, and the drive generally takes about an hour
- As an alternative, call Twisted Jeep in town and tell them you're coming here. They'd rather have their vehicles on this road versus some of the difficult trails in Moab, so if they can give you a good deal, they will
SIDE-BY-SIDE INFORMATION
- If you plan to use one of the side-by-sides while you’re here, there’s no reserving them in advance. The property owner has 2 six-seat side-by-sides and 8 potential rentals. They aren't available for full-day rental; a 4-hour rental costs $250. Payment is by check or cash only
- You can use the side-by-sides to go to Wind Caves and Chicken Corner, where you'll have plenty of time to explore
- The side-by-sides are not for taking to town or the other side of Hurrah Pass. They are strictly for sightseeing in the area
