Anyone have any suggestions on a campground? We will be dry camping for 5 days, then looking for a campground with full hook ups. There are so many out there, I thought someone would have the old "I have been there and love it" campground.Thanks in advance

While awaiting a personal response, you can search for 'moab' in the box above.

Stayed at Riverside Oasis a few times years ago, but I think it's shut down. It was a great little campground, and the folks who ran it were really good, too. Pity, if it's gone. Beyond that, Horsethief CG on the way into Canyonlands NP is nice, if you can get a spot. It's a BLM cg I believe - pit toilets and that's about it for amenities, unless it's changed in the last year and a half since we were last there. Think we paid $12/night? Quiet, dark sky spot. Maybe 50 sites?

Our favorite is Spanish Trails south of town. If you want to stay closer to town, Slickrock Campground isn't bad, and is a favorite with the ATV/offroad crowd. We have also stayed at Archview Campground north of town. It's a nice park but again, a ways from town but close to Arches NP and the entrance road to Canyonlands NP. All three have full hookups available. Archview has the least amount of shade.Safe travels.

Make reservation now for the Arches Nat Park NOW. It is Great dry camping. See web site.

We have stayed at Archview RV Resort on the north side of town and OK RV Park on the southern side. Archview was more expensive but nicer and it felt like it was more convenient to what we wanted to see and do. OK RV Park was decent- we were in a long pull-thru with a nice shade tree. We camped there with friends and walked over to the Spanish Trail Arena one night to go watch the rodeo.I'd go back to either.

Archview has sites in the perimeter of the campground that all have trails right out to the wide open. And they have a gas station on site. We stayed there 2 years ago, nice place nothing fancy, has a pool etc but the location is very good for atv's jeeps etc

We stayed at OK RV Park south of Moab several years ago. We were in a 40' fifth wheel at the time. It was a clean friendly park that we'd stay at again.

Yes you can stay at Spanish Trail and have some nice opportunities within a mile or two from the CG.

I know people were riding from Archview, but I don't know the details.

Dead Horse Point has electric but not water hookups. It is about 40 minutes from Moab, but a beautiful place, day and night. Spots appear to still be available.

Stayed at Canyonlands RV resort last Oct. Convenient walk to restaurants, moab brewery, people were friendly and no complaints. Looked at Portal but the pool was for resort only, not campground so if you didn’t have a class A or Class C 5 yrs or newer you just have to stand at the fence and watch people enjoy the hot tub.
