The Best Moab Camping | Utah Campgrounds

The sites were clean and well-maintained. Group fire pit only and fires of course we're not allowed with the high winds. There is a pool, however it is extremely small and with even four or five people in it it feels crowded. There is a really neat water pad for the kids. This is a great location to Arches and easy drive to get to. Cable came in well and there was good phone and internet service. The laundry rooms were a little bit small so try not to get in while everybody else is doing their laundry. There is an ATM, propane, and general store on site as well as a gas station. if you are into ATV vehicles this is a site for you. Immediate trails from the campground. Would definitely return on our next trip to Utah. they also offer Cottage and Deluxe cabins on site. There are also tent sites as well as RV's.

Great RV Park 

Campsites were 10 feet from each other, and surrounded by the RV hookups and cabins. If you're looking for a genuine camping experience, you won't get it here. I imagine it'd be a great place for glamping, but I give it two stars since I was under the impression they had legitimate campsites. Facilities and showers were very clean, though, that was a big perk.

It's a resort, not a campground...

A+ bathroom facilities. Definitely aimed for Rv's and not tent campers. Stayed here in a pinch when we couldn't get camping inside Arches. Pr
etty expensive.

Great Showers

We loved this campground so much! It was clean! Bathrooms and showers were the best I've ever used at a campground! Nice playground and splash pad for the kids! We were at a tent sight which was close to the playground and bathrooms! We were able to pack up while the kids played. Convenient to arches national park and Moab restaurants.

Clean and kid friendly!

Clean campground with swimming pool and rzr trails next to the entrance. 

Close to Arches national park

Very Clean and updated campground.  Sites were a little small for my camper and full sized truck, but just big enough.  All of the employees were very friendly and attentive to the campground. Several times a day someone patrolled looking for trash and checking on folks.  Ample facilities for showers, bathrooms, and laundry.  There is a gas station on site with a few rv accessories in the store.  Price was very reasonable.  We even ended up staying an extra day.  15 minute drive to arches, 30 minutes to Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point.  I highly recommend this park!

Great Campground 

Very loud, next to the road and back to back camping spots with little to no room if someone is camping next to you. We got a discount only because we booked two nights, other than that it's WAY too expensive. This seems to be a chain campground because there are rules and restrictions everywhere. It was a clean, kept up with site with cute cabins everywhere so if you're not looking to tent camp , that may be better. The bathrooms were nice but SUFFOCATINGLY humid and hot inside. There are big communal sinks outside of the bathroom which we loved. There was a pool, but it was icy cold so make sure you're nice and hot first. 

A place to crash

Well maintained property with clean bathrooms and showers, a pool, a market and gas. Very close to Arches NP. I found it to be costly though, given we only needed the toilets, no need for any of the other amenities. So, depends on what you’ll need/want while you’re there. 

Nice but expensive

The location is great if you are coming to visit Canyonlands or Arches national parks. However the park is just okay. We were on the side with smaller RVs and tent campers and the spots were close and tight. We would not stay here again. 

Great location but Meh

We stayed at the Archview RV Resort &amp; Campground in October 2020. It was extraordinarily busy when we stayed, but the staff were friendly and the park was nice. We selected one of their "Extra Large Premium Pull Thru" sites and it was very easy to get into and nicely spaced from other sites. If you've never been to Moab, Utah, you should know that there's very little grass to speak off and if you have pets that can be an issue when they're searching for a place to go to the bathroom (speaking from experience). This resort is incredibly convenient to Arches National Park and all of the area's outdoor activities. There's an onsite gas station with diesel fuel, which we found to be a great resource on our trip. We would definitely stay here again if/when we're in Moab in the future.

Perfect for Visiting Arches National Park

So close to Arches NP &amp; Canyonlands NP.  Mountain biking right out the back gate.   Clean facilities.  Swimming pool.   Dirt roads &amp; dirt pads, so it's dusty .... but most of the western states are dusty!  We had a premium spot, spacious and great views.  Campground has a military discount which helps with the cost.   Staff at checkin and the store were all friendly.  We'd stay there again. 

Comfortable,  clean,  friendly 

We stayed five nights and this was the perfect base camp to explore Arches, Canyonlands, and Moab. Full hook ups, clean, very friendly staff. Pool to cool off in after a hot day and a gas station on site. The only reason I gave it a 4 is the sites were a little tight (close together and short) but we made do. They do have premium sites that have great views and a lot more room but they were all booked. Overall great and we would stay again!

Great base camp

We really enjoyed our stay here.  Location is central to Arches NP, Canyonlands NP and Dead Horse Point State Park.  All services one may need are right on site.... propane, gas, convience store, ice, ect.  Loved the swimming pool and all the campers were very friendly.  Front desk is very help with lots of info and recommendations.  We would definitely stay here again and recommend this to our friends. 

Perfect look for us in several ways! 

This park is OK, not great but your close to everything. Sites near the road have alot of road noise. The sites were close together and sewer hookups are in your face. Would not stay here again unless I had a site in the back. Cable hookups for me did not work

Noise,Tight, dusty

First off, this review is based on being in one of the extra wide spots (spot numbers in high 80s/90s). Not sure we would have felt the same in other spots. 

So we all realize Moab is kind of *^%# for camping these days and crazy expensive. Our hesitation at the cost of this camp melted away by a great view out to the desert and La Sal mountains beyond from our camp. That view alone is what makes up most of this review’s positive vibe. Add in great energy and vibe from all of the fellow adventurers coming and going, great staff, and a nicely heated pool and you’ve got a great experience and certainly one better than other Moab offerings (unless boondocking is an option). The general store and attached gas station add to the great amenities. 

Fair warning that OHV traffic is pretty heavy. We like the activity and energy it brings but probably not for everyone. 

As Good as Moab Parks Get

Good Wi-Fi. Super tight spots. Trailer trying to squeeze into one next us, actually hit a truck in the process. Bathrooms were pretty clean. We were unable to use the sewer hookup since it was pretty far away from our trailer. We just dumped it when we were ready to leave. Close to Arches/Moab/Canyonlands. Beautiful view from campsite. Some road noise.

Decent campground 

The guy at the front will tell you that you NEED a tent to use a tent site, but there is more than enough room to park a 20' van right next to the tent pad. Tell him you have a tent if you plan on vanning here, don't let him talk you into an RV site.

Other than that, the views here were amazing. It is a bit cramped, but it's less than 10 minutes to get to Arches National Park. Showers were hot, and the bathrooms/showers are cleaned regularly. It would have been nice to have individual fire pits, but there is a communal pit if you really feel inclined. There is WiFi, and the password was "Sunshine" as of 5/2/2022.

Overall, not a bad campground. Got burned by the "need a tent" thing, but otherwise a good experience.

Decent campground

Nice park to stay that. A little packed in but overall it was quite the nights we stayed.  Cell service  was good. Park provided cable TV and has a free basic Wifi. There is a pool, and some nice old barns, covered wagons to view on property.  They also have gas station and general store.

Surrounded by beauty 

Centrally located off the main road. About ten minutes from Arches National Park and twenty minutes from Canyonland Nation Park/Dead Horse State Park. Level camping pads. Clean drinking water. The bathrooms are nice but there are only four so it can get congested. Slight noise pollution from the main strip but worth it for the central location. Nice pool. Moderately priced gas station and camp store on site. Friendly staff. If you plan to visit Arches NP don’t forget make the mandatory reservation online with the NPS. 

Nice Location to hit the parks

Good place to visit Arches and Canyonlands.

Road is very noisy and quite expensive @ 85 usd per night 

Handy for visit Arches & canyonlands

Very nice 

Cute campground, lots of amenities. Nice store, hot showers. Has signal, but not very good. Bathrooms are clean. ￼

A little pricey, but honestly not bad after the off-season discount listed under their promos on the website. 

The basic full hookup for an RV is a bit narrow .

Overall pretty nice

Staff is friendly and helpful! Gave a great recommendation for an off road drive through Canyonlands NP. Good view out the back of property of Arches. Pool needed to be fixed while we were here, so can't speak to that. Showers are older and water pressure is dismal but they're warm and ok for washing off the dirt we were coated in after hiking in the Moab wind. Sites are easy to find and grounds were clean and neat.
