With six different campgrounds located around the monument and over 120 sites to choose from, options are plentiful. Three campgrounds are located on the Utah side of the monument (Green River is the shortest distance from the Dinosaur Quarry) and the other three are on the Colorado side. Prices for each campground vary with the seasons and availability of water. Check postings at each campground or contact the visitor center for more information.

Regardless of the season, unpaved roads may become impassible when wet with rain or snow. Some paved roads may be impassible in winter due to snow and ice.
