| description |
The five group sites at Lone Mesa are ideal for large gatherings such as weddings, large school groups or family reunions. The sites are isolated from other campsites to allow for privacy. Within close proximity to national parks and open space, outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and four-wheel drive tours in the surrounding area. Lone Mesa is 1,000 feet higher in elevation than Moab, which sometimes means cooler temperatures. The town of Moab is approximately 30 minutes away and has dining, shopping, sports rentals, tour companies and museums. |
