Ballard RV Park offers full hookup sites on level gravel pads with 50-amp service, accommodating large rigs with pull-through access and ample parking. "Sites are gravel, level and very well maintained. All are pull through. Hookups are in excellent condition," noted one visitor about the Ballard facility. Desert Moon Hotel & RV Park supplies additional RV spots with full hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables, though some reviews indicate longer-term residents occupy many spaces. Both parks are positioned along main travel routes with year-round accessibility, while several Sun Outdoors properties in Moab (approximately 35 minutes south) provide additional big rig-friendly options with concrete pads.

Seasonal considerations affect availability across these parks, with spring and fall being particularly busy periods during peak national park visitation. Most Thompson area RV parks provide sanitary dump stations, though some charge additional fees for this service. Cell service varies by carrier – Verizon users report 4-bar LTE reception at Ballard RV Park with reliable hotspot functionality. Electric service typically includes 50-amp hookups at premium sites, with water and sewer connections standard at most locations. Pets are generally welcome throughout these facilities, though some maintain designated pet areas or restrictions. Train noise affects several properties, as Thompson sits near an active rail line that occasionally creates nighttime disturbances according to visitor feedback.

    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.

    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.

    Village Camp Moab

    Great Town and RV Stop

    We loved Portal RV resort. Clean park with great amenities with adequate spacing. Full hook ups and great restrooms, showers and pool area. Just 5 minutes from Arches National Park and the center of town. Friendly staff and pretty quiet as we were there later in the season. 

    We will be back!

    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.

    Grandstaff Campground

    New favorite campsite

    Very easy to access (even in snow), only about 15 min from town, and like 5 from Arches, has trash and bathrooms. We were the only people there but it was really cold so...

    Truly beautiful all around close to the arches and solemne trailheads. Pet friendly and the fire pit was raised and had a grill too!

    20 a night was a lot but its easy to self check in and out at the entrance sign and it really is the perfect little place.

    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.

    Ok RV Park & Canyonlands Stables

    Quiet spot with beautiful views

    Great experience! Really helpful staff, clean and quiet sites, and lovely views.

    When we arrived with my 21 foot travel trailer, we were told that site 28 can be difficult to park in due to the angle and size, but just as panic started to seep into this trailer-newbie’s brain, they said, “But don’t worry, Jake can help you park your trailer into the spot.” And he did! Jake was super helpful and within 5 minutes my RPod was happily parked at site 28!

    The site was clean, with water, sewage, and electric hookups on the left side. It comes with a picnic table and fire pit (fire wood can be bought at the shop).

    I was remote working, and the wifi worked pretty well (I just had issues once during a meeting when video + screen sharing was on).

    The site is right on the La Sal Mountain Loop, which is a beautiful drive up the mountain and down through Castle Valley and along the Colorado River.

    We really loved our stay.
