Campgrounds

When you camp around Moab, be sure to also give back to the community that helps support access to our campgrounds. Booking a guided trip with a local guide, grocery shopping and buying gas in town, eating at restaurants and tipping waitstaff are great ways to visit Moab sustainably. A visitor staying in a hotel often spends more than $1000 in the Moab economy. When you patronize Moab businesses, you are leaving the place better than you found it.

Human Waste Disposal

Did you know that digging a cathole to poop in is illegal in Grand County? It's true! In the desert, human waste doesn't break down as easily or as quickly - which creates health hazards. When you're here, human waste can be disposed of in one of two ways: using a developed toilet facility, or packing out human waste in approved waste bags. These bags are called "Waste Alleviation and Gelling Bags," or WAG bags! 

Buy Firewood in Moab to Stop the Spread of Invasive Pests & Diseases

Our forests are threatened by invasive tree-killing insects and diseases that can hitchhike on firewood. Pests like the emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, and Asian longhorned beetle don’t move far on their own – but they can travel hundreds of miles in a single day in a bundle of contaminated firewood. Once transported to uninfested areas, these insects and diseases can emerge and start new damaging outbreaks.

How You Can Help:

Leave your firewood at home – buy local firewood at or near your destination.

Buy only what you need, and burn it all completely by the end of your stay.

If you have already moved firewood, use it immediately. Do not take it home with you and do not leave any excess firewood on site.
