Best RV Parks & Resorts near Monticello, UT

Monticello hosts several RV parks with full-service sites for travelers exploring southeast Utah. Old West RV Park offers full hookups including water, sewer, and electric for $35 per night, with sites that accommodate large rigs up to 40 feet. Mountain View RV Park provides similar amenities with level gravel pads and is open from May through October. Westerner RV Park Campground features recently updated bathrooms and laundry facilities but has limited maneuvering space between sites. The pull-through spots at Old West RV Park can fit any size trailer, while back-in sites require unhitching and parking beside the rig. "Big rig friendly. Full hook ups, laundry, bathrooms. Clean, friendly. We were in spot 3 so was very close to road."

Between Moab and Blanding, Monticello serves as a strategic base for exploring national parks within a one-hour drive radius. Most RV parks remain open seasonally from spring through fall, with limited year-round options. Cell service varies significantly—Verizon generally performs well in town, though coverage diminishes in surrounding forest areas. Navigation into mountain campgrounds may require careful maneuvering through steep terrain. RV dump stations are available at most parks, with Monticello RV Campground and Mountain View both offering sanitary dump facilities. Electric service quality varies between parks, with one traveler noting: "If I attempted to run my electric heater, I would get an alert for low power." Pet-friendly policies are standard across most RV parks in the area, though specific restrictions may apply.

    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!

    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.

    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.)

    Moab Rim RV Campark

    Good Place

    Nice facilities. Grass for tent campers is nice. But the tent spots are small.

    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.

    Pine Flat Dispersed Camping Area

    Pine Ridge Flat free dispersed

    large area, lots of spur roads going to many dispersed camps. Roads have clay so some low spots can be mud holes after rains. Area is at 8850 elv, seems very popular for hunting and ATVs ans SxS use in the fall, so be aware from.mid Aug Sept on. Vegetation is mostly oak brush and scattered pine trees and aspen. Cell signal on T-Mobile was almost usweak two bars for downloads. This area has a paved road all the way from Monticello, about 8 miles back to town. No toilets, no dumpsters and no water. Two developed FS CGs are close by.

    Only two stars due to the constant heavy use by locals on atvs and SxS. They all seem to like going very fast and will dust out your camp and even their own camps...not a bright bulb bunch of folks from.Monticello. Plus the locals all setup long term camps and lv trailers up here all hunting season. Squatters

    The Needles Campground — Canyonlands National Park

    Loved It

    Beautiful campground in the Needles section of Canyonlands.

    $20/night, and there is a 7 day stay limit within 30 days, and 14 days total per year. 

    There are two loops: loop A is first come first served, and loop B takes reservations during busy season (is FCFS in winter), but if there is a spot open it’s available for walk up (no reservations) for one night only.  The campground layout is nice and spread out, and the whole area is so quiet and peaceful. 

    There is drinking water here, trash and recycling (plastic and aluminum only), flush toilets (no showers). 

    No cell service in the whole park but our WeBoost gave us several bars of LTE, and there is wifi at the visitor center. 

    This campground is nice in that there are many hiking trails nearby. 

    There are 2 handicap spots, and 1 is available for anyone after 8pm for 1 night only. 

    Heads up that the driveway up into each camp site can be steep and/or have a dip so if you have a long vehicle you may scrape. I believe the length limit here is 25ft, we fit fine in our 26ft motorhome. Hosts on site were very nice and helpful. 

    Campground is free in winter after the water is shut off (approx mid to late November, usually, depending on weather).

    Sun Outdoors Moab Downtown

    Moab Urban Camping and Basecamping

    In-town camping well done. Tight, but shaded and quaint camping on level gravel and sand pads and roads; larger RV sites have paved pads; many tent only sites have solid shade structures). Quick access to Arches and Canyonlands (north), Dead Horse Point SP, Sand Flats/Slickrock/Porcupine Rim, and local and in-town trails (Pipe Dream, Hidden Valley, Mill Creek Pathway).

    Clean facilities, two bath houses, pool, store, and camping amenities (propane refill, vehicle fuel, lower shaded lawn for games and sports). Short walk to downtown, grocers, restaurants, and city parks. Multiple hook-up options, good WiFi for school and work before adventures.

    The cons: management is accommodating for small campers and RVs on small sites, however parking gets pretty tight, and I wish extra vehicle and large vehicle parking rules/recommendations were better enforced.  Public dish-washing sinks need drain filters and a trash can to help "less meticulous" campers keep these public areas cleaner.

    Recapture Reservoir

    Best spot in the area

    Beautiful spot. About 2 miles off highway down a paved road. A couple spots are even big rig friendly. Lots of water front spots on dirt/gravel loop. Pet friendly. There is a bathroom but its awful. Beautiful scenery with large boulders and clean water. Okay verizon 5g 3 bars. Not any boat noise but may get worse on summer holidays.

    The Views RV Park & Campground

    Views

    Don’t let the dilapidated mobile home near the entrance scare you away. This place is super well maintained. Every site is well thought out and has great hookups. I thought a plug water and sewer was pretty uniform. Our site had a pedestal with 20/30/50 amp and then another with 30 20 feet further into the site. Lots of shade. The sites along the south edge of the property have amazing views of the Cortez valley and Sleeping Ute Mountain. Really nice communal fire pit, dog park and some trails too. Some sites have a beautiful brick fire ring too.


Guide to Monticello

Monticello sits at 7,070 feet elevation in southeast Utah, creating cooler summer temperatures compared to nearby Moab. The camping season typically runs May through October with many facilities closing during winter months. Nighttime temperatures can drop significantly even during summer due to the high desert climate.

What to do

Explore national parks: Monticello serves as a strategic base for visiting multiple parks without Moab's crowds. "We like this campground for its location! So convenient to walk to restaurants in Moab. The campground is mostly empty in early March, so doesn't feel crowded at all," notes a visitor at Sun Outdoors Moab Downtown.

Mountain biking: The Manti-La Sal mountains provide excellent trails for riders seeking cooler temperatures. "About 10 minutes from arches and 30 from Canyonlands. Bathrooms were clean and camp store had most things you'd need," reports a camper at Moab Rim RV Campark.

ATV and UTV routes: Local trails start directly from town with minimal traffic. "Very UTV friendly.. trails start just down the street. So many places to visit just a short drive away! Lots of night and day time wildlife visitors," according to feedback from Westerner RV Park.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many rv sites near Monticello maintain high standards for bathrooms and laundry facilities. "The bathhouse was very nice and clean. The grounds were really nice, and the owner was very friendly upon checking in," writes a visitor at The Views RV Park & Campground.

Affordable rates: Campgrounds typically charge lower rates than those in Moab. "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," reports a guest at Old West RV Park.

Mountain views: The La Sal mountain range provides a scenic backdrop for camping. "The pull-through spots can fit any size trailer, while back-in sites require unhitching and parking beside the rig," one camper mentioned after staying at Mountain View RV Park.

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Most Monticello camping facilities close from November through April. "This campground charges a surprise $15 resort fee at checkout. I understand the cost, but it should not be a surprise charge," notes a guest at OK RV Park & Canyonlands Stables.

Highway noise: Some camping areas sit close to main roads with truck traffic. "The only downfall is that it is right off of the highway where large trucks travel so it is quite loud," warns a visitor at Mountain View RV.

Power limitations: Electrical services vary between parks with some unable to support high-demand appliances. "The park was full when we came in so we could NOT back in. We had to drive over the curb to get our trailer in," cautions a camper from Westerner RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Book ahead during peak season: Reservations become essential June through September when temperatures in lower-elevation areas exceed 100°F. "We've been to nicer campgrounds but OK served our needs for this trip," shares a camper from OK RV Park.

Pack for temperature swings: Mountain elevations create 30°F differences between day and night temperatures. "Sites are pretty level and nice electric, water and sewer hook ups. Wore ear plugs to sleep with no issues," advises a visitor to Monticello RV Campground.

Plan for limited amenities: Few campgrounds offer playgrounds or dedicated child activities. "Not very large but feels very homely.. sites are good sized and can handle bigger rigs. Free WiFi and Cable," notes a visitor at Westerner RV Park.

Tips from RVers

Water pressure regulation: Bring your own regulator for RV hookups. "The water pressure is quite high. They will lend you a pressure regulator for free or they will sell you one for $15," advises a camper at Blue Mountain RV Park.

Level sites: Most RV parks feature gravel pads requiring minimal leveling. "They are located on the back of the park near the office. Just north of the tent sites lies an open field with horses that seems to go miles," reports a guest at Monticello RV Campground.

Maneuvering space: Larger RVs should verify access before booking. "We were in a premium back-in site along the main route through Blanding, so we heard road noise on the 2 weekdays of our stay starting early in the morning," notes a camper at Blue Mountain RV Park.
