CAMPGROUNDS

Moab Campgrounds

It’s really easy and comfy to camp at S Up the Creek (210 E. 300 S., 435/260-1888, www.moabupthecreek.com , mid-Mar.-early Nov., $25 for 1 person, $32 for 2, $40 for 3), a walk-in, tents-only campground tucked into a residential neighborhood near downtown Moab. The shady campground, with a bathhouse and showers, picnic tables, and a few propane grills (campfires are prohibited), is right alongside a bike path.

Camp right in town at Up the Creek.

RV parks cluster at the north and south ends of town. Moab Valley RV Resort (1773 N. U.S. 191, at Hwy. 128, 2 miles north of Moab, 435/259-4469, www.moabvalleyrv.com , $28 tents, from $40 RVs) is open year-round; it has showers, a pool, a playground, and free wireless Internet access. There’s also a selection of cabins (bedding provided, $53-90) available—some are simple sleeping rooms, others have baths and fridges. Pets are allowed only in RVs. Although this place is convenient to town and Arches, it is pretty close to a large ongoing environmental cleanup project involving removal of radioactive mine tailings (according to the Environmental Protection Agency, it’s safe to camp here). Moab KOA (3225 S. U.S. 191, 435/259-6682 or 800/562-0372, http://moabkoa.com , Mar.-Nov., $26 tents, from $45 RVs with hookups, $64-170 cabins), barely off the highway four miles south of town, has showers, a laundry room, a store, miniature golf, and a pool.

More convenient to downtown, Canyonlands RV Resort and Campground (555 S. Main St., 435/259-6848 or 800/522-6848, www.canyonlandsrv.com , $32 tents, $41-51 RVs, $60-70 cabins) is open year-round; it has showers, a laundry room, a store, a pool, and two-person air-conditioned cabins—bring your own bedding. One mile north of Moab, Slickrock Campground (1301½ N. U.S. 191, 435/259-7660 or 800/448-8873, http://slickrockcampground.com , $29 tents or RVs without hookups, $41-45 with hookups, $63 cabins with air-conditioning and heat but no bath or kitchen) remains open year-round; it has nice sites with some shade as well as showers, a store, an outdoor café, and a pool.

You’ll also find campgrounds farther out at Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, Dead Horse Point State Park, Canyon Rims Recreation Area, and east of town in the cool La Sal Mountains.
