Best RV Parks & Resorts near Arches National Park, UT

Devils Garden is the only campground in Arches National Park and fills up quickly. On top of that Devils Garden does not have showers or laundry and with the high temperatures in the summer, a shower at the end of the day is a must. So your best option is staying at Moab Valley RV Resort. If you are tent camping there are large umbrellas that you can pitch your tent under for an extra shield from the sun. The shower houses are large, modern, and very clean. There is a nice sized pool where you can cool off at the end of the day, and the campground is right on the Colorado River with the mountains in the background. The best part is you are less than three miles from the park entrance. Especially if you have small children, enjoy the Arches and the amenities at Moab Valley RV Resort.

We were very happy with our stay at Okay. None of the RV parks in Moab are elite class parks but Okay is more than accommodating. Most of the sites are gravel pull through with full hook ups. They have several back in spaces but most of those are used for RV rentals which they also offer. Shade is hard to come by in Moab but each site has a couple trees, a picnic table, and a small amount of grass. The bathrooms are clean with nice showers. Okay is located on the edge of town and a couple blocks off the highway so it is very quiet and peaceful at night. We’d definitely stay here again.

We wanted a to share our time between BLM free camping and having amenities and Slickrock Campground was the only RV park that has space for us. I'll start with the good. Nice showers and large bathrooms. The laundry room was nice and machines were credit card (no coins or tokens needed). The pool is refreshing on a hot day. We had a 35' rv hookup site for a hybrid trailer and 2 vehicles. 30 amp power, water and sewer. That's about it for the good. The bad as of mid October 2020: The sites have no privacy and some sites have 2 picnic tables side by side, one for you and one for your neighbor which makes it difficult to stay 6' from your neighbor to help prevent the spread of Covid. The hot tub is filled with concrete. Which was one of the biggest disappointments. We were really looking forward to a soak after a hard day of mountain biking. WiFi doesn't work and due to construction power is iffy in a lot of sites (multiple people drawing on 50amps).

Construction. The entrance has been moved and is a steep ramp in soft Utah Red dirt. Construction starts at daylight and continues until evening. There's red dust everywhere. Traffic into town is insane due to construction (the the campground's fault) and a left turn out of the campground can be nearly impossible 8am-7pm.

We stayed at the Archview RV Resort & 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.

Pack Creek Campground is located in south Moab, in an area that is a mix of new construction infill and old Moab funkiness. 

I stayed in one of the creekside tent spots, which are very nice and also very adaptable. There is an area in each one large enough for a tent, with a picnic table and a grill, However, many people choose to go down the rock steps to the creekside area, which is more private and little more separated from the RV park. The lower areas do not have a grill or fire ring due to the low tree canopy, but each has a picnic table where you can set up and use a camp stove. Being here really made it seem like I was not in an urban RV park.

The upper level tent sites are are separated by wooden fencing which allows for separation from neighbors.

At this time (September 2020) there are a number of Covid-related measures in place. Grand County remains under a mask mandate, and wearing of masks is being strongly encouraged when using common areas of the campground, especially the restrooms/shower areas. The tent area is being utilized at half capacity, and those in RVs using the park as a long-term base are required to be self-contained, without access to the restrooms. 

The park is very clean, and the manager is on site and available whenever needed. Restrooms and showers are immaculate and well stocked.

Despite being somewhat off the main highway, there is still a certain amount of highway noise at night, something which is pretty unavoidable anywhere in Moab due to the whole place being in a canyon. Light sleepers may want earplugs.

Pack Creek Campground is not within walking distance of downtown Moab, so if you are planning to spend time downtown understand that you will need to drive.

The Moab area provides ample camping opportunities from yurts to primitive camping. With Arches National Park campground closures, other spots are going fast. Given that and it being Friday, I was amazed that I was able to snag a spot at the Dead Horse Point State Park campground!

Despite the weather being ridiculously hot (from the PNW...we only know rain and overcast), this campground offers beautiful scenery and well developed sites. Each site has two spots to set up a tent and a RV hookup. 

The campsite itself is located at 5900 feet which makes for amazing views but also nothing to shade from the desert dry sun. 

Each site does have a covered picknick area, a cabinet to store belongings, and a working light! 

There are only 22 sites which book up fast so if you are like me and refuse to be committed to a reservation, better get there early enough to grab a spot! 

By day...beware of ravens...they are fierce scavengers. By night...beware of bats...they are blind. 

Utah is known for its night skies and this campground lives up to the hype! Truly a gem!

The campgrounds were basic, not many families. The sites had a good amount of space, picnic tables, fire ring, water, toilets and a sandy base to pitch the tent on. Not far from Arches National Park and just outside Moab so location was good.

I tried to reserve a site in Devil's Garden Campground in March to camp in July. It was full!!! So we were forced to camp in Moab Valley RV Resort, which ended up being an awesome place to camp. But while we were visiting the park I had to go scope out Devil's Garden Campground to see what I was missing.

Honestly, the campground has plenty of space and is very clean. The problem is there are no showers and it is almost 20 miles from the park entrance. It does have flush toilets. It is right next to the Sky Arch and it is a beautiful area. If you want scenery, book early and stay at Devil's Garden. If you want amenities and comfort, stay at Moab Valley RV Resort.

The Portal RV Resort (the North Campground) was an excellent place to stay. It was very well maintained and obviously cared for. The pool and jacuzzi were a great touch to end a long day of hiking all over Arches NP.

This is a basic RV park that looks a bit like a parking lot. The sites are close together and all we had was a small strip of gravel with a picnic table super close to the driver side (and open slide) of the RV parked next to us. I would not have enjoyed putting out some camp chairs and hanging out there. But it didn’t matter to us because we were camping in December and it was freezing, so we were gone all day and hang out inside our trailer in the evening cooking inside. You also get noise from the road but all RV parks in Moab are just as close to the road. The positive is that they had full hookups including water even in the winter with below freezing temperatures. The bathrooms were also nice and clean. And the location very convenient for exploring the national parks.

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.

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.

I spent about a week here. Road in is primitive with slight washboards. Plenty of spots to choose from. It’s about 22 miles from Arches National Park and 25 from Moab but about 7 miles to Interstate 70. I was able to visit Arches and Cannonlands from here which was great. There is a train that runs twice a day, cows grazing every now and then and you can hear the traffic on the highway. Great cell service (I have Verizon).

Amazing views of red rock cliffs along the Colorado river

Goose Island Campground is an amazing campground to get for a visit to Arches National Park. Located only 1.5 miles from Moab and 4.5 miles from Arches National Park's visitor, so close you can walk or bike to town. This campground is right on the Colorado River with towering red rock wall on the Arches National Park side of the river. The scenery is just amazing. This campground is on my all time favorite list. This is a first come first served campground and is very popular, I have been here twice once in July and once in October and both times were lucky to get a spot. Sites are nice and level with plenty of room to spread out and nicely spread apart. The campground has 18 sites and 2 group sites which can be reserved. Cost for individual sites are$20. The campground has three vault toilets, water and trash service. Each campsite has a picnic table and a metal fire ring.

We chose this campground because of availability of sites and the fact that they have a pool. We had a very nice stay here. We had our adult son with us and found the new shower facility to be a plus for our family. A lot of families are in this campground, and although the laundry facility is modern, it requires timing and teamwork to get your laundry done. We had to wait for washers and coordinated with other campers to get the timing right to dry. The pool is well maintained and refreshing. The bathroom and shower facility is renovated, so it’s very nice; however when the park is busy there could be a wait for a shower to come open. I’m sure in the off season, the shower and laundry facility is adequate, but when we were there they were both very busy. Parking in the sites is a little bit tight because the spots are close to each other, but there’s plenty of room to maneuver a large RV around the park. Camping sites and roads are gravel with grass between the individual spots. There are large, mature trees in the park that provide plenty of shade. All staff members that we had contact with were friendly and helpful. We got a call from them on arrival day to confirm our arrival would be before the office closed so they could leave a packet at check in if we were going to be late. The park is convenient to shopping, restaurants, Arches National park, and several other hiking trails and activities. Water pressure is high here, so they advised using a regulator for the RV hookup, they have them for sale if you don’t have your own.
