Camping
 
Devils Garden Campground
The Devils Garden Campground is a great place to begin your exploration of Arches.
 
The Devils Garden Campground is located eighteen miles from the park entrance and is open year-round.

John Wesley Wolfe  

Did You Know?
In the late 1800s, John Wesley Wolfe, a disabled Civil War veteran, and his son, Fred, built a homestead in what is now Arches National Park. A weathered log cabin, root cellar, and corral remain as evidence of the primitive ranch they operated for more than 10 years.
