Top 10+ RV Parks near Cisco, UT

October 15, 2020

I am not a fan of campsites .... would prefer wild camping and boondocking.  We decided to stay at Saddlehorn for a night and we were very impressed.  The sites are close to each other, however, there is enough natural landscape and trees to allow for privacy.  Each site had a place for 1 car to park, a picnic table and a grill for charcoal.  No fire rings.  The views are spectacular and we did a few hikes that were breathtaking.

The bathrooms are very clean and although we didn't need ADA accommodations, I was very happy to see a couple of sites dedicated to those who may need it.  

Loved this place enough to want to come back!  If you don't need RV hook up, its first come first serve.  We arrived on a Thursday, early afternoon and there were only a few sites to choose from, so plan accordingly!

Enjoy!

Love's is on each side of the road. On the west side are 8 RV hookup sites you can pay for, but we're self contained. Park anywhere outside of normal parking where you're out of the way and stay the night. You can park with the semis of wherever. Trash cans are scattered throughout. They have showers in the west side building; I don't know about the east. We stayed here with a 32' camper trailer with no issues. There are people all over here with all shapes and sizes of rigs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Moab Rim RV Campark is a smaller RV/Tent campground with full hook-ups (RV) available. It is located right off the main highway. The sites are pretty close together and there isn't a whole lot of privacy to be had. We had a site facing the street and it can get noisy with all the UTV's driving on the street late at night. Thankfully, we didn't spend too much time there as we were exploring Arches, Canyonlands, Deadhorse State Park etc. If you just need to setup a base camp with full hook-ups then it will suffice.

Small sites, but great amenities at the Moab KOA. Our site was mostly level, pull thru w/full hook ups. Some small trees and bushes between the sites help add a bit of privacy, but you’re pretty much on top of each other. Camp store, laundry and an awesome pool. Great bathrooms, private one person room with toilet, sink & shower. City of Moab as great, free public transportation. You can call a shuttle, through an app, and they will pick up up and take you where ever you want yo go!

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.
