Moab, UT · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
Red Desert RV Park has expanded to 55 full hookup RV sites along with 14 cabins. We are geared towards outdoor adventurists and sightseers wanting a cost-effective stay while taking advantage of everything Moab has to offer! We are locally owned by a family of 8 and love calling Moab our home. We understand the corporate overtaking that Moab has had in the last 5 years and plan to keep our campground affordably priced and locally owned. We have upgraded the old site plan from 7 RV sites to 55 Full Service RV sites this year. Most sites are pull through but we will have some back-ins. Our new bathhouse has a laundry, women's bathrooms and showers, men's bathrooms and showers, and an ADA compliant family style bathroom. In addition to the new bathhouse, we have a new office and retail store where we sell souvenirs, RV supplies, snacks, drinks, ice, firewood, and other necessities for guests. We do not currently have propane fill on site. We know that there are many options to choose from when it comes to staying in Moab. We urge people to support locally owned businesses that help Moab grow and solve problems that exist in our community. Moab is a recreation mecca with something for everyone and our little campground on the south end of the valley puts you within minutes of town, the mountains, and the red deserts around Moab.

Torrey, UT · 1 site
Learn more about this land: Welcome to Road to the Sun Ranch, our quiet RV retreat in Grover, Utah, near Capitol Reef National Park. We created this site for travelers who want a peaceful place to land at the end of the day — somewhere with wide-open views, quiet evenings, and the feeling of being away from it all, without giving up the ease of full hookups. The ranch sits along Scenic Highway 12 near the base of Boulder Mountain, about 6 miles from Torrey and approximately 15 miles from Capitol Reef National Park. The property is a mix of open pasture, desert sage, pinyon pine, mountain views, and big Southern Utah sky. It is a beautiful place to slow down, watch the light move across the landscape, and enjoy the quiet side of Capitol Reef Country. We offer just one private RV/trailer/van site, so you will not be tucked into a crowded campground or sharing the space with a row of other campers. The site includes water, power, sewer, WiFi, and a picnic table, making it a comfortable basecamp for exploring Capitol Reef, Boulder Mountain, Torrey, Scenic Highway 12, Fishlake National Forest, the Burr Trail, and the surrounding red-rock country. This site is best for self-contained RVs, trailers, and camper vans. Guests need to have their own bathroom available, so we are not able to accommodate tent-only camping or car camping. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and the private setting is one of the things dog owners tend to love most. We just ask that you clean up after pets, pack out your trash, and help us keep the ranch peaceful and clean for the next guests. For safety, open wood-burning fires are not permitted. Maximum trailer length is 28 feet, and maximum RV length is 35 feet. Class A motorhomes are not recommended. Livestock may be present in adjacent pastures during the summer and fall months, typically June through September. The site is open seasonally from April through October. We hope Road to the Sun Ranch gives you a quiet, comfortable place to rest, explore, and enjoy this beautiful part of Southern Utah.

Park in Utah · 572 sites
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.
