"It is 110° in Moab Utah today wow! We're staying at the Spanish trail RV Park in Moab. The views out the front door of the camper are amazing! There are gravel sites that are a little unlevel."
TravelerAbout 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!
GuideSpanish 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.
TravelerThis 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.)
ScoutNice 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.
Legendlarge 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
LegendBeautiful 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).
GuideIn-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.
GuideDon’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.
Guidenice park, conveniently located in Moab to visit the nearby National parks..nice level sites with picnic tables and full hookups. Bathroom/Bathhouse was heavily used but in good working order and clean. abundant hot water and water pressure which is always a bonus...
