The best campgrounds near Moab, Utah with hot tubs

On the banks of the Colorado River, just west of the La Sal Mountains, Moab is an excellent base for exploring some of eastern Utah's most impressive outdoor attractions, drawing hikers, campers, and ATV and mountain-biking enthusiasts, particularly in the summer months. It's the gateway to both Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, and while the national parks are certainly the big draw here, there are plenty of other Moab-area spots to explore, including the Sand Flats Recreation Area and Dead Horse Point State Park. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) also operates a couple of dozen first-come, first-served campgrounds near Moab.

While you’re unlikely to find any free camping in Moab itself, free camping can be found well outside town in Manti LaSal National Forest. Although the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) oversees more than 20 campgrounds around Moab, most of these developed campsites require a fee to stay overnight. (When within 20 miles of Moab, camping is only allowed in developed campgrounds, making free camping a rarity) Arches National Park requires entry fees, so you won’t find free camping in the park either.

Yes, you can camp on BLM land in Utah, where 42% of the state is considered BLM land (some 22.9 million acres). Most developed BLM campgrounds in the state require a fee, while dispersed campsites on Utah BLM land are more often free. Popular spots include the Silver Island Mountains Backcountry Byway (BCB) outside the Bonneville Salt Flats, Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest outside Gunnison, and Ashley National Forest.

Wetrock

3. Wetrock

1.2mi from Moab · 5 sites · Tents, RVs

Welcome to Wet Rock — a rare canyon sanctuary at the edge of Moab, where geology, water, and sky collide. Wet Rock is not a typical campground. It is a living landscape shaped by time, pressure, and intention — a place where campsites are woven into water features, stone, and stars. Inside the main fence, you’ll find intimate campsites nestled close to amenities, water features, and shared gathering spaces. These sites are ideal for campers who want comfort, proximity, and an immersive atmosphere — flowing water nearby, thoughtfully designed paths, and easy access to restrooms, hot showers, and communal areas. At night, the property glows softly, and the desert sky opens wide. For those seeking something deeper and more private, Wet Rock also offers six remote canyon campsites tucked into a secluded, two-canyon system that directly connects to Moab’s iconic Pipe Dream Trail. These sites sit within Strange Canyon and Charm Canyon — names inspired by particle physics, fitting for landscapes that feel almost unreal. This canyon system is geologically extraordinary. Due to its unique position along the Moab Rim, it receives more concentrated flood runoff than nearly anywhere else in town. Over thousands of years, immense water pressure has sculpted the stone here — tumbling, compressing, and polishing massive boulders into forms you simply will not see elsewhere in Moab. The rock faces are smoothed, flattened, twisted, and carved in ways that feel intentional, almost architectural. After storms, you can still read the story of water written directly into the stone. Walking these canyons is mesmerizing. The scale, the texture, the silence — it’s a reminder that this landscape is still alive, still shaping itself. Campers often describe it as otherworldly, meditative, and profoundly grounding. Whether you choose a site near flowing water and amenities or a secluded canyon perch beneath the rim, Wet Rock offers something rare: access to comfort, solitude, and genuine geological wonder in one place. This is Moab — but not the version you’ve already seen.

It was pretty nice to roll up have showers, bathroom, pool, and spa steps from the parking spot. The people at the desk were super friendly and very accommodating. You just gotta remember you're in a hotel parking lot.. Bring your earplugs as the road is close by.

As long as you are aware that you are in a parking spot on the side of the hotel, it is great for what it is. Full access to their swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor campfire, and lobby with table tennis and other tables for games. Bathroom access is just through a gate, very clean with showers. Hotel has food available for purchase in the morning and everybody was very friendly and accommodating. You are right off the main road in Moab.

Everything was wonderful and very put together. We just had a site change at the last minute and as we were traveling through "no service land" we didn't find out until an hour before arrival. It ended up working out and all was good. We were just worried we would end up missing our second day.

Moab camping guide

Where to go

North of Moab

Arches is the main attraction north of Moab, and while there's only one camping area in the park (Devils Garden Campground), campers will find plenty of private alternatives, some with RV sites and hookups, in the immediate vicinity. Further north, the McInnis Canyon National Conservation Area offers plenty of gorgeous rock formations, with fewer crowds than what's found at the national parks.

Southwest of Moab

The region to the southwest of Moab is full of outdoor attractions, and while Canyonlands National Park is by far the best-known, there are plenty of other areas within a few hours’ drive worth exploring, including Natural Bridges National Monument. San Juan County, in particular, offers a verdant alternative to the rockier landscapes that dominate the area, with plenty of mountainous forestlands and biking trails just west of Highway 191, near Monticello.

Southeast of Moab

A short drive southeast of Moab will take you to the Manti-La Sal National Forest and its La Sal Mountains. It's a great place to be if you're in search of lush camping options away from the national park crowds; Warner Lake campground, in particular, is a good option, with tent sites, picnic tables, and fire pits. Also worth checking out is the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in Colorado, which preserves ancient indigenous petroglyphs, cave dwellings, and shrines.

When to go

The Moab area is at its busiest during the summer months, and if you like hot weather and don't mind crowds, this is a great time to visit. For a cooler, quieter experience, consider visiting in the spring, when the weather is pleasant and wildflowers are in bloom. Fall offers equally mild weather, and while winters can be bone-chilling, it’s a great time to visit to avoid crowds—just make sure your car has four-wheel drive.
