Moab, UT

Moab is super busy it may depend on what you can get, We did not enjoy the KOA muddy and they added tons of sites in 2015 and did not add restrooms ugh

Do not stay at Spanish Trail.

Our experience at Spanish Trail was not as negative as Lauren's. We did like the shade; the only shadier CGs seemed to be Canyonlands, in the middle of town, and another one at the north end of town which is being converted to condos. Best place to camp in the area, IMO, is probably Dead Horse Point SP, but there's no shade, the CG is small and really big rigs won't fit, and it's not centrally located. You will need advance reservations, regardless of what you choose.

Which RV park is going to condos?

This might give you additional ideas:

We too found Spanish Trail to be a nice place. However, based on the general tone of Lauren's posts (which are many), I have to assume something significant did occur. I'm glad it didn't happen to me.

Seemed to be about Wi-Fi or lack there of - many people seem to still depend on campground Wi-Fi - big mistake - mainly because a few stream movies etc. and ruin it for the rest of us - Used Verizon Mifi device for years now and very happy

If you look at tripadvisor and camp ground reviews the combined two sites have 223 reviews with 180 of them being excellent to very good

Do you believe one vocal person or 180 ?

Not questioning either, didn't mean to sound that way. I'd go back to Spanish Trail without hesitation. However, Lauren does not seem to be one that complains without reason (based on his posts), so I was just wondering what the nature of the problem was. Obviously, it wasn't an issue I encountered.

Because you have one issue with a RV park it's no reason to tell everyone to stay away. That's my take.

WiFi not working led to dishonesty / ethics issues. They blatantly lied telling me that wifi was bad / down throughout town. Took the laptop down to McDonalds and it worked fine. And even tried one other place and fine.

I need wifi at times for important reasons. I have wound up at places that have marginal wifi - and I might have expected better - but they are upfront with me and even suggest where I might go close by to meet my needs. I would never, ever badmouth someone who did that.

Add to that the huge water leak in their irrigation system that they could not get fixed while we were there though they fiddled with it off and on. And more.

My main issue with them, as it would be any business I deal with, is lack of honesty / ethics. It is not the way I was raised, not the way I did business and not what I do in my personal life.

That may be seen as "one issue" but it was more and dishonesty is not an issue, it is business conduct.

Many of you know me on here very well. I am honest and I really do not complain unless there is real justification.

We have been to 178 different RV parks and I have only registered complaints on 2 in the over 18 years we have been part time RVing. Both on ethics issues.

For what it is worth, now you know the basics.

OK, time to grill dinner.
