We did the back section at Portal and also felt like we were in an alley. And the place was overgrown with weeds, the koi pond smelled like hades, the laundry was old and hardly working and it was not cheap. Have also done Moab Valley and like the location but we will go back to Spanish Trails in the future.

Yea that's my take on Portal. We stayed there a few years ago and there were so many mesquitos you could even get from the 5er to the truck without being covered

Looks like people like several places. I like Spanish Trails. Really friendly people running the place

Can you Dry Camp??? BLM campsite at N38° 34.983' W109° 48.972' with lots of space. Off of UT Highway 313. It is near Dead Horse SP which you should see anyway.

This Horse thief campground site operated by the BLM and has a on site host, there is a fee at this campground and very quite at night, good for large rigs and easy to get to.

We stayed at Portal in one of their premier sites just across from the pool. It was a a very nice large site, but it was a sea of concrete against the blank wall of a 3 story residence next to us. It felt like we were parked in an alley.

I like a bit of activity and that end of the park was the dead zone, I was the only one that used the pool?

I did visit Archview and although it was gravel, it appeared more interesting to us.

We have also stayed at Moab Valley RV Resort, where we will probably stay on our next visit.

Arch View RV Park, we've stayed here a couple of times. It's location places it in the idea position for a base camp for a rig like yours, placing you right at
SR 313 leading you to Canyonlands NP and Dead Horse Point SP. A few miles south from Arch View is the main entrance to Arches NP.

This way you don't have to drive your rig through Moab, unless you want to.

I was in Moab valley RV resort. I was able to park and leave hooked up my 20' pickup + 24' trailer. It's right between Arches and the Moab city. Great location.
