Ken/Allison, We can make due without A/C during the day, as we'll be out of the campground all day anyhow. I have a generator for other conveniences and keeping the batteries charged.
What is it like at night in the summer? I assume the low humidity makes desert nights tolerable. Hoping anyway... I'm from south Louisiana, so I know what hot and muggy are!
It's USUALLY is cool enough at night to get a good rest, but like anywhere in this country, there can be the exceptional nights. The good news is that most of the campsites at Devil's Garden have a wall of rocks off to the west, so the campsites will be in the shade by late afternoon (the sun sets just before 9 p.m.). Make sure you open every window and maybe bring a small 12v fan to aim at your bed. Yes, it's a dry heat, so a little air movement makes a big difference. BTW, generator use is limited to 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. so plan accordingly. If it's a particularly warm night, head into Moab and take advantage of the a/c in one of the restaurants!
