You can mountain bike around the property. It's quiet with birds flying and chirping. This is a very private and secluded location with lots of space!

0.9mi from Thompson Springs · 6 sites · Tents, RVs · Thompson Springs , UT

Setup your tent and enjoy some respite before and after exploring the beautiful canyons and desert landscapes that surround the Desert Moon and beyond. We have 2 showers, bathrooms, potable water, picnic tables, and wifi on site. There is also a covered seating area for guest use by our Inn. There are 5 campsites total. Please note, the Union Pacific Railroad is right across the street, with trains passing by multiple times a day and night. There will be noise at night. Campsites are relatively close together so you will likely see other campers during your stay. Also, there is not a lot of shade on the property so be prepared. Thompson Springs began as a railroad stop on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad in the mid to late 1800's. It soon became a shipping point and community center for local farmers, cattle ranchers and sheepherders. It is now a ghost-town with a population of 50 people. The Desert Moon has a true wild western past. The old dancehall on the property, The Cactus Caberet, once served as the town bar and brothel. We are currently in the process renovating the dancehall into a venue for live music and retreats. There are 8-12 staff members living on site in their personal RV's at all times. We are a small community of artists, builders, and adventurers. We are constantly working to improve this property that came under our ownership in July of 2020. Feel free to come say hello and ask us about what we are building here! Thompson Springs is a true "ghost town" with no retail or restaurants except a 7-11 off the I-70 exit. The towns of Moab and Green River are only a half hour drive away and are full of regional and eclectic restaurants and shops. The Desert Moon is located just four miles from the Sego Canyon Rock Art in the Bookcliffs featuring pictograph and petroglyph panels from three different Native American cultures: Barrier, Fremont, and Ute. Be sure to check them out! There are miles of off-road trails accessible from our property. Some require a 4x4 vehicle or dirtbike, but many are well maintained enough for almost any vehicle.

Loved the tipi Glampcamping, lots of amenities to keep you comfortable. Beautiful view of ridge in Moab, small dog park for dogs to run off leash and complimentary coffee and pastries at their office made it extra special. I also have to praise them for fixing issues we had when we first arrived, very considerate and good customer service.

Weekend Trip to Bear Family Ranch RV and Camping

Absolutely fantastic stay! I was greeted by the host upon arrival, and they couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. They gave me a full lay of the land—showing me where I’d be staying, where I could walk on their property, local trails to check out, and great places to visit nearby. Grand junction is only 20 mins away so this was PERFECT! Once I got settled in and explored, holy cow—this property is stunning. The trails are not only beautiful but also really well maintained, raked, and clearly marked, which was such a treat for me and my dog to enjoy. They’ve also created the cutest tent camping sites, and you can tell so much care goes into keeping the whole property welcoming and enjoyable. The amenities were just as described, and I was able to easily plug in and charge up all my appliances without any issues. Between the scenery, the setup, and the kindness of the hosts, I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. I’d definitely come back here, especially with a group for tent camping. Excellent property, wonderful people—highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Bear Family Ranch RV and Camping

Everything was great, nothing was missing, very private, beautiful location and AMAZING hosts. I took my two dogs with me and they could not have been welcomed more - often off leash when walking the ranch. If you have an occasion to stay near Grand Junction, I would absolutely recommend staying at the Bear Family Ranch!

We very much enjoyed our stay at campsite. Management was friendly and happy to answer any questions and inform us of the surounding area. Our camp was quiet, and the amenities were well taken care of- having a hot shower after a days adventure was so divine! Loved the eclectic art adorning the area. Would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated all of the little extras provided. Trees were wrapped with solar powered lights, games and misters at the covered patio, and the cool hang out viewing area. The toiletries in the shower area were greatly appreciated. Highly recommend sites RV Sites 5-10 for the most protection from the sun. For the most part, the property was incredibly well maintained, however staff was only onsite from 8 AM - 6 PM, and things sometimes got untidy after hours. There was a number to call a manager after hours, but the level of untidiness didn't warrent a call.

Super RV and camping park in Moab. If I didn't have the RV, I totally would have stayed in one of the Tipis or safari tents. I peeked inside and they were CUTE!! Staff friendly and grounds maintained. Full service. We only stayed one night, but if we make it back this way, I will stay again
