Highlights

▶ Walk directly into the Goblin Valley from your campsite — mushroom-shaped hoodoos accessible 24/7 to registered campers
▶ Formations glow silver under the moon and the sky is pitch-dark; surreal night photography
▶ Much lower competition than Arches/Bryce/Zion — 25 sites, far easier to book
