A Primer on Moab
We spend a lot of time in Moab. I first visited there in the 60’s and have been going back ever since. I probably camped in the area over 300 days in just the last 10 years. So I thought maybe I’d put...

I stayed in Moab for 5 days last October. I never paid a dime for camping. Once I unhitched and threw the mountain bikes on board, I found even more campsites that were even closer to the things I wanted to do! I imagine in August/September when it's warmer, it might be a little tighter, but I find it hard to believe that $71 a night to camp had to happen with all the land around Moab. It was 15 minutes to town from where I stayed, too.
This is a GREAT thread and I'm so glad somebody bumped it. I'd be one of those cranky younger mountain bikers who rode the Whole Enchilada the last time I was there. I'm looking forward to doing Mag 7 and some of the other trails the next time I go there. Moab is so much fun.
