The Courthouse Rock Campground is located near Courthouse Rock approximately 16 miles north of Moab, Utah. The area served as a reliable campsite for Old Spanish Trail traders. It was a halfway point between two water sources, the Colorado River and Floy Wash. Other groups, including Native Americans and the Elk Mountain Mission of 1885, also traveled through and camped here.

The campground is surrounded by an open landscape of blackbrush and sagebrush hills with large rock formations in the distance. It is comprised of 10 campsites that can accomodate large RVs and trailers. There is no vegetation or other shade.
