Best Cabin Camping near Canyonlands National Park

584 Reviews

In eastern Utah, near Arches National Park and Moab, UT, you’ll find Canyonlands National Park. Often paired with a visit to Arches or Moab, Canyonlands is more than four times the size of Arches. In fact, it’s the largest national park in the state.

Like other Utah parks, getting a campsite can be a challenge. The Needles takes reservations, but Island in the Sky is first-come, first served. Both can be accessed with an RV up to 28 feet long. However, the campsites are dry. Camping in the frontcountry isn’t easy, but there are many backcountry campgrounds to choose from. Like all other parks, the best camping near Canyonlands National Park is wherever you can find it, as 42% of the entire state is BLM land.

    Moab Koa

    Stayed in a cabin

    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.

    Moab Rim RV Campark

    Best spot in Moab!

    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!

    Nice Location to hit the 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.

    Sun Outdoors Moab Downtown

    Great location !

    This park has great location on S side of downtown Moab. Across the street from Moab Brewery.

    They have RV spots, small cabins, and private tent camping. Bathrooms are clean. Good water pressure in showers. Nice little heated pool and splash pad.

    RV spots have level concrete pads. They are small and pretty tight. Each site has a picnic table. Good Verizon signal and good WiFi (we are close to welcome center & park pretty empty).

    Campground Review

     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. 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.

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! 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!

    Wingate Campground — Dead Horse Point State Park

    One of the nicest State Park campgrounds around

    We stayed here while visit Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. This setup is very nice with a great covered picnic table and grill, with a fire ring right next to it. Had a locker for supplies and a nice big pad for our tent. The bath facilities are extremely clean and the only thing missing is showers. The visitors center was great and staff was super friendly. The park itself is beautiful, and the sunsets and being out of Moab to see the Milkyway at night was amazing.

    Moab Glamping and RV Resort

    Excellent amenities and views

    My partner and I were work campers at this location from the end of Aug until about mid October. There are a variety of accommodations from dry camping, pull through RV sites, tipis, cabins, rental RVs, and safari tents. The office is also a cute gift shop and general store with fresh popcorn and homemade pastries available for free. There are two different showers facilities that are maintained beautifully. There is also an observation deck for sunsets and star gazing. Lots of improvements on the way too.

    Moab Rim RV Campark

    Close to Arches and Moab

    The management rented out a camping cabin site since the cabin wasn't rented. We paid a bit more than a standard RV site, but it was worth it to have a last minute reserved site near Arches and Moab on a holiday weekend. Smart customer service. Didn't go in the cabin as it was locked up, but the site had electric and water and a nice view from the back. There was a shade tree and a little patch of grass which was also appreciated. Quiet hours were observed and the location was good in Moab.
