Best Cabin Camping near Arches National Park

We arrived on the later side of things and every camp area was full, in all of Moab, KOA had four cabins available so we snatched one up. It was a new cabin and it was wonderful. We normally wouldn't camp in a cabin but after a 3 hour drive, we weren't interested in turning around and driving home. It had a queen bed in the room you first walk in to. Then beyond that was another room with a bunk bed and a full bathroom. Toilet, tub and sink. It also had a small table, fridge, microwave and tv. It was basically a small hotel room. It had it's own deck and cook grill. The views were nice, the staff was nice. We didn't explore a whole lot of the campground but they did have a pool and other sites looked nice. It was not far from Arches National Park and town was even closer. If we were looking for a less rugged camp trip, we would consider their cabins again.

6 stars for customer service! We came in late on Easter weekend during the Easter Jeep Safari Event. They were packed but found a place for us in the back. The host brought out a picnic table and fire ring for us, even offering a barbecue upon request. The Restrooms were Super clean and the hot water seemed endless in the shower. Guys get there early my hubby said the wait in the men’s room for anything was horrible, I did not have that experience on the Ladies side. The camping inside the inner circle seemed super nice with grass and shade, some sites even having shade structures. We were in the back lot (79) not on the map pictured. The CampPark also had several small cabins that looked adorable, and prices vary by season. Wi-Fi was available, the general store had a little bit of everything and it’s just down the street from downtown Moab! I would recommend this campground to everyone! Totally family and pet friendly and the perfect base camp for all your Moab adventures. Arches National Park is 4 miles from Moab and Canyonlands another 30+ Miles. If you have Children be sure to stop at the visitor center prior to your adventure and pick up a “Junior Ranger” packet and get your kids involved and enable them to earn their junior ranger badge for each National Park!

 Moab was AMAZING! Moab Rim RV Campark was just as fabulous with 6 stars for customer service and overall experience. We came in late on Easter weekend during the Easter Jeep Safari Event.

Shaffer trail was also really cool out of canyonlands, I believe it was roughly 45 miles of dirt trail. Absolutely breathtaking red rock views and you may even catch a peak at a big horn sheep if you’re lucky!

Product Review

 Mountain House Ice Cream Sandwiches

As a Ranger for https://thedyrt.com/ I occasionally have the elite privilege of trying out fantastic products such as this. Our thoughts you ask?  WOW WOW AND WOW.. where have these been all my hiking days! An Ice cream Sandwich at the end, middle or beginning of any trail is a sure motivator in our family now. After discovering https://www.mountainhouse.com/ Ice cream sandwiches on our trip to Arches NP in Moab, Utah I don't think another backpacking or hiking trip would be complete without them. What I really enjoyed about the product was it seemed to always be enough and didn't leave me feeling dehydrated and parched. Shout out to all the parents wanting more miles out of your tiny humans, this is a game changer. No preparation or water required was a bonus, just snack and go!

This campground is one of the closest to the entrance of Arches National Park. When I made our reservation three months before our summer visit, it was one of the only campgrounds that was not full. On the reservation website, it was difficult to get a site close to the office, which we like to do as that usually results in the best Wi-Fi signal. Most of the closest sites appeared booked. However, when we arrived and during both nights of our stay, the campground was easily 2/3 empty.

We were excited to find out the pool is open until 10 pm in the summer, however they are currently working on the pool area, including the two hot tubs, one of which was mostly empty, but a good 12" of algae was left in the bottom. There was piping exposed near the 1' deep part of the main pool, as well as piles of dirt. During our two days at the campground, no one worked on the pool area. In fact, we were not convinced that the pump and filters for the pool were even working... yuck.

The playground was very small, but has swings, a toddler-sized slide (to mom's relief), and jungle gym. Their "group camp" area basically encompasses the same location as the playground, which was slightly awkward for our family as there was a group located there during our stay. They were very nice, and did not seem to mind our kids playing there.

The first night the power went out, both in the campground and the buildings, so running water, including showers, was unavailable, and it was easily pushing 100 degrees that day. It did come on late in the night, so we were able to use the A/C in our RV before going to bed. Showers were fine, but one of the three was out of service in the ladies' room, and the one I chose was directly in front of the door, with no screening or fencing to block the view into the restroom. Again, awkward.

Pluses include very shady, pull-through sites, low street noise, and location near the National Parks. If you need a quick one-nighter, by all means, this is worth a stop. If you are looking to stay with a family, we recommend trying another location.
