Best RV Parks & Resorts near Canyonlands National Park

Several private RV parks sit just outside Canyonlands National Park, since the park itself has limited RV camping with no hookups. The RV sites in nearby Moab range from basic to full-service, with most accommodating rigs up to 40 feet long. You'll find a mix of concrete and gravel pads at these RV parks, though the concrete ones fill up fastest during peak season. Most commercial campgrounds provide 30 and 50-amp electrical service, with water and sewer connections at premium sites. Dump stations are available at all developed RV parks and at the visitor center for those staying in more basic spots. The main roads to popular RV camping areas are paved and well-maintained, though some campgrounds require driving on short gravel access roads. If you're planning to run your generator, be aware that most campgrounds restrict hours to 8am-8pm, with complete quiet time after 10pm. Each RV site typically comes with a picnic table and fire ring, though some parks have fire restrictions during dry months. Cell service varies dramatically - strong in Moab but spotty to non-existent in more remote camping areas near the park boundaries. Reservations are essential from March through October, as RV sites within 30 miles of Canyonlands often book up 6-9 months ahead. The closest grocery stores and gas stations are in Moab, about 30 minutes from the park entrance, so stock up before heading to your campsite. Most RV campers use these parks as a base for day trips into Canyonlands, returning to hookups each evening.

    Moab Koa

    Phenomenal Staff-not so great site.

    About 5 miles outside of downtown Moab. Very clean, amazing staff, dog friendly. I would give more star, however, we paid for a premier pull through full hook up’s site and it was situated just above the dump station. We have a 40’ Alliance Toy Hauler. We were not familiar with the campground. I would recommend staying in sites #100 and up if you’re in a large rig. Would definitely return knowing what we know now. Immaculately kept campground!

    Sun Outdoors Canyonlands Gateway

    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.

    Spanish Trails RV Park

    Spanish Trails

    Spanish Trails Rv Park has a very Friendly staff, is clean, has a small pool, decent internet, and reliable electric. It is close to town and trails. The cites are extremely unlevel, but have a patch of grass are and a small tree at each site. We started at Horsethief State Park campground which was awesome, but an early heatwave of temps over a 100 sent us scurrying for plug in and the ability to run all 3 acs in our 43 foot toy hauler. We used the roll on blocks to level side to side without issue. The pull through are a little tight, so we will be backing out. The Class A’s have had to stop short of level due to slope and ground clearance, but we did not hear of any complaints, and everyone is friendly and happy. It is Moab, after all. The biggest improvement that the park could make would be some shade and a different surface in the pet relief area. The gravel gets very hot, and it’s not fun sweeping up the red dust from the Rv. At the state campground they have a lot of bushes that seed in tiny stickers (we call them beggars fleas in NM—not actual bugs but tiny stickers) that imbed themselves in animals passing by. The labs had no problems, but tough on long eared dogs with soft fur like our Cavapoos, so bring a hair brush.

    Ballard RV Park

    Great place to stay

    We stayed here five nights in our class C while slowly making our way across the country. The park is reasonably large. We had no problems getting a spot here. Sites are gravel, level and very well maintained. All are pull through. Hookups are in excellent condition. Sites had plenty of room, many had tables and some had fire pits.  Staff was very friendly and helpful. 

    There are not many ammenities in the park. The office can provide great information on the nearby national parks and other attractions. Showers and laundry are available for a fee, though we did not use them. Propane was available. The nearby gas station easily accommodates RV's.

    Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are 35 minutes away. There are petroglyphs and dinosaur tracks nearby. Our grandchild loved the Moab Giants dinosaur exhibit. There is also easy access to hundreds of miles of off-road trails and hiking trails.

    The RV park is conveniently located near the highway, but not too close. There is very little highway noise. The park was quiet and peaceful for the most part. There is a nearby rail line and you may wake to a train once or twice a night.

    We had 4 bar LTE with Verizon. I was able to use my hotspot, and my wife played her Xbox game. The Wi-Fi available at the park was fine, though the game could not be played using it.

    This was a very nice place to stay while traveling. It is an excellent place to stay to visit the area attractions while avoiding the high cost of RV parks closer to Moab. We will stay again when traveling this way.

    Old West RV Park - Utah

    Great owner and nice place to stay

    This small rv park is right in town and easy to access. It’s got full hookups for a super reasonable price (we paid $35 on Labor Day weekend for a full hookup). Pet friendly, showers and laundry and as a bonus the owner puts on a little sharp shooting exhibition in the evening. The owner was very friendly and helpful (made chili for everyone the night we stayed!) and apparently he’s a dirt contractor so his sites are super level!

    (We have a 17ft travel trailer but there were lots of bigger rigs there as well.)

    Clean facilities and friendly staff. Close to town. Strong cell signal and fast WiFi throughout.

    Close to the highway (191) so be mindful of potential noise.
