Goblin Valley question
My wife, dog and I are camping this Sun. and Mon. nights. We'd like to stay at Goblin Valley SP and do some exploring from there. I've searched several websites about the campsites there but can't seem to find out if the "grill" these sites mention is a campfire ring or a freestanding grill-on-a-pole type of deal. We gotta have a campfire!
I know there are a lot of campsites outside the park but the lure of a hot shower with a 13 degree low is just too great. Plus, we don't expect it to be too crowded.
Thanks

I have never camped in those sites but I did clean my porta-potti out at their facilities. I am pretty sure I saw campfire pits there.
If you don't want to get raped by their price per night for camping you can drive down the dirt road that forks west towards little wild horse canyon. It is just a little before you enter the park, mabey .5 to 1 mile before. You can find primitive camping all along the south side where other dirt roads fork off.The man thong is wrong.

Thanks for all the responses, we may take a look at Chute Cyn. if the roads look pretty good after these storms.

In the "off season" I like to camp in north temple wash. Even after a good storm storm you can still drive a car up to the first campsite. Plus its close to the paved road, less then a mile .... but that camp site sucks on say.. easter weeked... too many ATV's rolling around that area.
I took this picture just above this campsite in North Temple Wash. It gives you a pretty good idea of where it is.
