Weather
Southeast Utah is part of the Colorado Plateau, a "high desert" region that experiences wide temperature fluctuations. In spring and fall, daytime highs average 60° to 80°F (15° to 26°C) and lows average 30° to 50°F (-1° to 10°C). Summer temperatures often exceed 100°F (37°C), making strenuous exercise difficult. Late summer monsoon season brings violent storm cells which often cause flash floods. Winters are cold, with highs averaging 30° to 50°F (-1° to 10°C), and lows averaging 0° to 20°F (-17° to -6°C)
Accessibility
A person using a wheelchair should be able to navigate the accessible campsite. The road has slopes, speed bumps, and drainage ditches that may make travel by wheelchair difficult. Bathrooms are accessible. The nearest bathroom to the ADA accessible campsite is two sites down, reachable by a paved road. The path to the amphitheater is paved, but ground surface in the amphitheater is gravel. Benches are available.
Public Wi-Fi is not available at the Arches Visitor Center. The nearby town of Moab has locations with public Wi-Fi.
You may be able to get cell coverage in other parts of the park. The closer you are to Moab and the La Sal Mountains, the better your chances will be.
Fires must be contained in the fire rings provided. March through October, purchase firewood coupons at Arches' bookstore to exchange for wood bundles at the campground. (In winter, firewood is sold directly at the bookstore.) Firewood collecting is not allowed because woody vegetation grows so slowly in the desert.

Devils Garden Campground has two ADA accessible campsites. We hold one site (site 4H), first-come, first-served for people with disabilities only. The other site (site 7) is available for reservation March-October, up to six months in advance. In winter all sites are first-come, first-served. The majority of the accessible sites are paved, making it easy to navigate with a wheelchair. The tent pad is dirt, but the rest of the area surrounding the picnic table, grill, and fire ring is paved. There is an accessible bathroom nearby.
