Excellent facility and wonderful staff. Highly recommend
This location was exactly what we needed. Quiet, comfortable, great price. We only needed the tent for sleeping and acting as a base camp for our adventures in the area. Nearby bathroom and showers were great as well.
Nice property. I like that the bathroom "house" actually has several full private bathrooms. It was very quiet and everything was clean.

What a great value! It’s a tent so don’t expect more than what is detailed in the listing. The campground is excellent with fantastic amenities and friendly staff.
My stay was in a canvas tent. It provided all I needed to support my visit to the nearby parks - a shelter with electricity, a chair, a cot and a lantern. The restrooms are private and clean.
We had a brief but great stay. The tent was as described, clean and neat. It was chilly overnight so be sure to bring a good sleeping bag and blankets.
Loved it. Slept great,explored canyon on e bikes,went to Arches NP for 2 days,explored Moab,ate at unique and delicious restaurants each day. Could not have gone with hotel prices. The tent was perfect. We ate out and throughly enjoyed our 3 night 4 day stay.

Dry and hot
Great staff, nice showers, has what it says, but it is so hot and dry in that area you feel like you are eating dirt and it’s tough to sleep.
My time in Moab was memorable, and this place was fantastic because they had everything we needed. From a great place to sleep, BBQ grill to prepare our food, fabulous bathroom, showers, and laundry machine, and this something that I will let my friends know because it will be easier to book this place rather than finding a place to set up your tent and worried for other stuff that you needed to do.
My friend and I had a lovely stay! The tent was clean and as expected. My only complaint is how close it is to the railroad tracks. I was woken up in the middle of the night to a train horn that sounded like it was about to blaze through the tent. Although, my friend wasn’t woken up because he is a heavy sleeper. If you’re staying in the colder months, I recommend a space heater. Also, if you’ve never slept on a cot before, definitely bring something for cushioning.
My friend and I really enjoyed our stay here. The tent was very clean when we arrived. There are multiple bathrooms in the office building in the tent and each one had a shower. The bathrooms were very clean. It got a little chilly at night in late April, but we had an electric heater with us so we were comfortable. We really enjoyed our time here.
My partner and I stayed here 3 nights while visiting Arches and Canyonlands on our trip to see all of Utah's National Parks. We loved how quiet the park was (aside from the occasional passing train). Friendly neighbors and clean restrooms. It would have been nice to have a second picnic table to cook / eat at when the one was occupied by the other tent, but we made do with boxes and the camping chairs provided by the host. Overall would definitely recommend and stay here again!
The tent was perfect for our quick getaway to the Moab/ Arches area! The cots were surprisingly very comfortable and we slept well! The bathrooms / showers were set up like full bathrooms at home, totally private and spotlessly clean. We brought a little heater that we were able to plug in and it made the cool night just fine in tent! Would absolutely stay here again! Affordable and CLEAN !
Ill be honest and say i did not actually stay. I arrived mid afternoon it was 100f outside and felt even hotter in the tent when i stuck my head in there it was hot dark and felt like an oven plus as a solo female it actually didnt feel safe stuck out in the middle of a parking lot.
I gave location a 4 out of 5 because of distance to event and train tracks. A couple of ear plugs took care of the train though. We stayed in their tent, it was a "glamping tent" with cots and nice, but windy at night. We loved the bathrooms, it was great to be able to get clean (plenty of hot water) after a day in the dirt.
The bathrooms are clean. They also have two sets of washer and dryers. We borrowed an extension cord for our heater as it was 22 degrees when we stayed. The tent was clean and even had a little light for us to use. It came with two camping chairs, two cots, and a little table. Awesome camping experience with no hassle to set up.
