Wingate is a campground on the open mesa at Dead Horse Point, with 31 campsites and four yurts. Twenty sites have electrical hookups for RVs or tents; the other 11 are hike-in tent-only sites, and a physical tent is required. The walk from parking varies by site, from about 20 to 200 yards, so check the exact site if you're carrying more than a daypack. Two sites are marked ADA accessible. The booking guidance conflicts on walk-up sites, so confirm before relying on same-day availability.
