Setup your tent and enjoy some respite before and after exploring the beautiful canyons and desert landscapes that surround the Desert Moon and beyond\. We have 2 showers, bathrooms, potable water, picnic tables, and wifi on site\. There is also a covered seating area for guest use by our Inn\. There are 5 campsites total\. Please note, the Union Pacific Railroad is right across the street, with trains passing by multiple times a day and night\. There will be noise at night\. Campsites are relatively close together so you will likely see other campers during your stay\. Also, there is not a lot of shade on the property so be prepared\. Thompson Springs began as a railroad stop on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad in the mid to late 1800's\. It soon became a shipping point and community center for local farmers, cattle ranchers and sheepherders\. It is now a ghost\-town with a population of 50 people\. The Desert Moon has a true wild western past\. The old dancehall on the property, The Cactus Caberet, once served as the town bar and brothel\. We are currently in the process renovating the dancehall into a venue for live music and retreats\. There are 8\-12 staff members living on site in their personal RV's at all times\. We are a small community of artists, builders, and adventurers\. We are constantly working to improve this property that came under our ownership in July of 2020\. Feel free to come say hello and ask us about what we are building here\! Thompson Springs is a true "ghost town" with no retail or restaurants except a 7\-11 off the I\-70 exit\. The towns of Moab and Green River are only a half hour drive away and are full of regional and eclectic restaurants and shops\. The Desert Moon is located just four miles from the Sego Canyon Rock Art in the Bookcliffs featuring pictograph and petroglyph panels from three different Native American cultures: Barrier, Fremont, and Ute\. Be sure to check them out\! There are miles of off\-road trails accessible from our property\. Some require a 4x4 vehicle or dirtbike, but many are well maintained enough for almost any vehicle\.

Interesting camping spot, would not stay again. 🤷🏻‍♂️"
