There are great views from the park and you have quick access to Island in the Sky portion of Canyonlands NP, but it is almost an hour into Moab from the park. Similar times to many other sites such as Arches.
If you get a site bring your own water, as they truck the water in all the way from Moab.
If you like mountain biking, Moab is a great place to go. The trails at Dead Horse Point SP are among the easier and you can ride right from your campsite. PM me if you want more info on biking trails in the area. We typically spend 2-3 weeks a year in the Moab area.
