8. Adventure Haven RV

39mi from Naturita · 8 sites · RVs

Hello! Please note that we are RVs only. ALL five sites have FULL hookups, strong WiFi, (so your cell phone WILL work!) and tables. We are 27 miles south of Moab. What we offer: In addition to an exceptional view of the mountain, our place is clean, spacious, orderly, quiet, inexpensive, with super fast and stable WiFi. What we don’t offer: fancy landscaping or restrooms. The Adventure Haven feels open, public and safe to most people. Funky and rural, in high pristine desert with a sweet view of the mountain is the overall vibe. Hours can go by with no traffic noise. This is in contrast to the constant drone of traffic noise in Moab. We are also about ten degrees cooler than Moab with nights cooling off even more; what a relief! The Adventure Haven is a five site mini-RV park located in an old and somewhat derelict subdivision in a small town on a 1.5 acre lot. A uranium boom town in the 1950's, La Sal is now a shadow of past times (and littered with artifact trailers and structures). But we are in beautiful high desert country and we are at the foothills of the La Sal Mountains and the park has a completely unobstructed view of this range! What kind of people LIKE it here? Those who like peace and quiet and dark skies. Relaxed full-time RVers, work-at-homes who need strong and fast WiFi, folks on a budget, those who like to support Hipcamp hosts, people looking for inside local information, solo travelers who want to feel safe yet not in a crowded place - like they’re near someone they know, and in a quiet, small town where unusual things are noticed. What kind of people DON’T like it here? People expecting a resort, or a vast-pristine-remote property. Also people who are uncomfortable with rural eye-sores typical of rural Utah (old cars, and slow projects) will not like it here, nor will party people and special event groups (not allowed here). *If you want a long stay contact us because we might be able to work it out! • Hook and Ladder OHV Trail system is less than five miles away and Rim Rocker Jeep trail is close as well.

There’s a pretty solid chance that you’ve heard about Moab, one of Utah’s most happening recreation spots. This gorgeous place gets packed, so do your homework beforehand so you know where to go! The Moab Field Office, administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), takes up 1.8 million acres of gorgeous canyon-riddled lands. Spend your days hunting for natural arches and bridges, exploring mesas, and contemplating how the heck rocks can look so crazy. BLM lands are also fantastic base camps for forays into nearby Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. There are 26 campgrounds, and you can usually find something even on the busiest of weekends (but, if you can swing it, it’s always best to arrive early). River recreation on the Colorado and Green Rivers is another major draw. However you spend your time in Moab, you’ll fall in love with the impressive red rock formations, the deep canyons, and surprising amount of plant life.

Whether you're planning a retreat for yogis, a family reunion, night sky watchers, weddings, motorcyclists, church members, students, or even a movie shoot, the BBC provides an ideal backdrop for your adventures. Accommodations: We can accommodate RVs, DIY tents, and offer Glamping tents thus adding flexibility to your group's camping arrangements. Our 160-acre property features • 10 Glamping tents with beds and an above-ground fire pit on the upper plateau. No water or power. 1 dry flush toilet.

Glamping Tents: The Glamping tents are perched on a beautiful plateau overlooking the valley and river below. Each tent is nestled under an additional canvas shade, supported by sturdy wood poles. This design not only enhances the rustic charm but also provides extra protection from the elements, ensuring a comfortable stay regardless of the weather. Inside each tent, you'll find a cozy queen bed and a couch that converts into a bunk bed with two twin beds, accommodating up to four guests per tent. Outside of each tent, you’ll find comfortable Adirondack chairs and an above-ground firepit, perfect for cooking or just for unwinding after a day of exploration. Glamping Tent Access: Our desire is to keep our property as natural, as possible. The Glamping area is meant to emulate a rural village existing in a far-off country with only a footpath to access.

Then go even further back in time and be amazed at the Dark Sky star gazing. With no WIFI and very spotty cell service to distract you, Bedrock Base Camp is an ideal place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature and your companions. Purpose: We established Bedrock Base Camp to support our research efforts at www.WHOlives.org The primary purpose of the property is to bring awareness to the solvable problems that still exist in developing countries around the world and to provide a location and support to college students, engineers, and inventors who have an interest or ideas on how to make our small world a little better and safer place to live. The BBC is an ideal place where anyone can experiment and deploy their ideas on how to improve dry farming, housing, water collection, transportation, emergency shelters, rural economics, water purification, and a myriad of other ideas just waiting to be discovered. We also know that everyday people have some of the greatest ideas, so we also challenge our visitors to think about how they might go about changing the world. It was this free-flowing of ideas that led to the invention of the award-winning “Village Drill” which has drilled over 14,000 wells worldwide, bringing clean, lifesaving water to over 13 million people. This is why we embrace “Camping with purpose” Book your stay at Bedrock Base Camp and experience camping with a purpose.

Glamping Tents: The Glamping tents are perched on a beautiful plateau overlooking the valley and river below. Each tent is nestled under an additional canvas shade, supported by sturdy wood poles. This design not only enhances the rustic charm but also provides extra protection from the elements, ensuring a comfortable stay regardless of the weather. Inside each tent, you'll find a cozy queen bed and a couch that converts into a bunk bed with two twin beds, accommodating up to four guests per tent. Outside of each tent, you’ll find comfortable Adirondack chairs and an above-ground firepit, perfect for cooking or just for unwinding after a day of exploration. Glamping Tent Access: Our desire is to keep our property as natural, as possible. The Glamping area is meant to emulate a rural village existing in a far-off country with only a footpath to access. We prefer that the tent sites be accessed by foot. Either a steep climb of about 40 “stairs” or an easier walk around of about 650 yards. There is an unimproved access road leading to the tents that might be accessible by an AWD SUV but is unadvisable for cars or street motorcycles. ** If you cannot backpack or don’t wish to manage the steep steps or the walk around to the tents or do not have a high clearance 4wd vehicle THIS LOCATION IS NOT FOR YOU, PLEASE DO NOT BOOK. What to Bring to Glamping Tents: To fully enjoy your stay in the BBC Glamping tents, please bring what you would pack if you were backpacking. (minus the tent and bed) • Food and Utensils • Water • Queen sheets or sleeping bags • Sleeping bags for bunks • Fire pits have grates for grilling or heating water Bring needed pots, pans, and utensils. • Firewood (No gathering wood on site!) • Flashlight • Toiletries What not to bring • No pets, Vaping, or Smoking (of any kind) allowed in the Glamping tents Enjoy Quiet time and dark skies: No electronics that could disturb others or artificial light beyond flashlights from 1 hour after sunset to 8 am. Activities and Surroundings: Our expansive camp offers plenty of space for larger groups and is surrounded by breathtaking Redrock landscapes. Explore the wonderful hiking and biking trails nearby, or the hundreds of miles of UTV trails including the Rim Rocker Trail. Or make Bedrock your base camp as you enjoy dozens of day trips to beautiful and bucket-list-worthy locations. Or simply relax and take in the scenic views. Reflect on natural and human history. Go back in time and find a short walk to petroglyphs, then enjoy the sunset as you gaze across the Dolores River which runs through the property. Then go even further back in time and be amazed at the Dark Sky star gazing. With no WIFI and very spotty cell service to distract you, Bedrock Base Camp is an ideal place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature and your companions. Purpose: We established Bedrock Base Camp to support our research efforts at www.WHOlives.org The primary purpose of the property is to bring awareness to the solvable problems that still exist in developing countries around the world and to provide a location and support to college students, engineers, and inventors who have an interest or ideas on how to make our small world a little better and safer place to live. The BBC is an ideal place where anyone can experiment and deploy their ideas on how to improve dry farming, housing, water collection, transportation, emergency shelters, rural economics, water purification, and a myriad of other ideas just waiting to be discovered. We also know that everyday people have some of the greatest ideas, so we also challenge our visitors to think about how they might go about changing the world. It was this free-flowing of ideas that led to the invention of the award-winning “Village Drill” which has drilled over 14,000 wells worldwide, bringing clean, lifesaving water to over 13 million people. This is why we embrace “Camping with purpose” Book your stay at Bedrock Base Camp and experience camping with a purpose.

Weekend Trip to High Sage Hogans

We had such a great stay! The tipi was a really cool and unique camping experience, close enough to Moab to get to everything easily, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle of town. It was peaceful, quiet, and exactly what we were looking for. Our favorite part of the trip was definitely Ringo, the sweet dog on the property. He “showed us around” and played with our dog the entire stay. Watching them run and explore together was honestly a highlight. Danny was incredibly kind and hospitable. He checked in on us, made sure we were comfortable, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his guests having a good experience. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Glamping Canyonlands

We have never glamped before staying at Glamping Canyonlands. What a great find through hipcamp! Close but not in the crowds to explore The Needles District. Erik and Keshie’s thoughtful touches and witty humor made the stay fantastic! They really have thought about all the small details needed for a great stay. The ability to cook over fire or use the community kitchen (thankful for the french press), the showers/toilets, hammocks with shaded picnic tables. The kitties and chickens were fun to see and was great reading about their story on how they built Glamping Canyonlands. Stargazing at night and quiet mornings. We can’t wait to come back and bring friends!

Nice and quiet and clean, water pressure is awesome. Don’t know that I would stay mid summer as there are no trees. Otherwise it was a nice spot away from the crowds of Moab.

Weekend Trip to Where The Wild Things Camp

A great and beautiful site, but not for everyone. A little hard to find, basic to none facilities. If don’t care about facilities, this is a really good site, especially if you come here with a dog. Very quiet, beautiful view, and pups can run freely.

Great communication from host. I really enjoyed the solitude — I was able to off-road in Moab each day and then enjoy a peaceful camp to unwind. Wi-Fi was a nice bonus as there wasn’t much of a signal for me (Verizon).

This site is Exceptional !!!!! Very Clean and although it might not seem like it on the drive in - very secluded with gorgeous views of the La Sal Mountains. We turned left onto Pearl street when we should have gone straight into the ranch - there is a “Hipcamp” sign - so make sure to look for that! Best overnight spot for us yet! Highly Recommend!!!

Camping at Where The Wild Things Camp was a main highlight of our 10 day camping road trip through CA, Utah, New Mexico and CO. The campsite is set in the most incredibly gorgeous landscape, its pure magic. Each site has a beautifully crafted campfire location and the porter potty was spotless. A short walk away is a really incredible rock formation that you can climb into. It’s like a giant amphitheater with a cave at the top. We look forward to coming back on day :)

Comfortable and safe place for an overnight in my 20-foot van about 30 minutes south of Moab. The electric hookup was great as a big storm front had made it difficult to recharge with solar. The pit toilet was clean and well lit during the night.
