Specifically for Canyonlands National Park, we recommend getting a 3-season sleeping bag for the greater part of the year. Even in summer, though the sun may blaze down on you during the day, nights could get deceivingly cold. Check the weather forecast prior to heading out. If temperatures fall to below 50°F, opt for a warmer sleeping bag or consider investing in a sleeping bag liner. In winter, if temperatures fall below 30°F, rent a winter sleeping bag. All of our rental sleeping pads are insulated for all season use.

You should also consider supplementing your rental items with a water jug. There's no running water in the campgrounds around Canyonlands. The only place to fill up on potable water is at the visitor center.

Practical information for camping at Canyonlands National Park

First and foremost, check our suggestions of things to do and places to stay in or near Canyonlands National Park. Aside from that, here are a few more important things to know when staying overnight in Canyonlands:

• The Green and Colorado Rivers divide Canyonlands National Park into separate districts that are not connected by roads or trails. Island in the Sky, just a few miles from Arches National Park and the town of Moab, is the most visited section of the park. The Needles District to the south is a bit more remote, but close enough to civilization to feel safe. The Maze, on the other hand, to the west, is only accessible via dirt roads and is therefore very isolated.

• You'll find potable water only at the visitor centers. Even streams in the backcountry, few and far between, could be dry and are unreliable. If you're camping or backpacking in the park, fill up a water jug with at least 4 liters of water per person per day.

• The weather always surprises. During most of the year, excluding summer, prepare for a much colder night than you think. Being a true desert environment, day and nighttime temperatures vary dramatically. Of course, June, July, and August could get unbearably hot - plan accordingly.

• Canyonlands National Park is far from international airports! It's 4 hours from Salt Lake City and nearly 6 hours from Denver. But the most convenient international airport to Canyonlands National Park is Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Though it takes about 7 hours to drive directly to any park entrance, most people make a multi-day road trip out of it and stop at Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef National Parks before reaching Canyonlands.
