Peaceful. Great price. Just what we needed.

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.

Tent Stay

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.

Summer Vacation

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.

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.

We stayed in the tent for a few nights. It was nice for the convenience factor; we did not have to set up a tent. The tent itself was spacious and the cots were comfortable, but the top of the tent was not pinned down to the framing well so it would flap very loudly in the wind at night. Also a train went by every night at 12 and 3 am, so we didn’t get much sleep for those 2 factors. The tent is right next to another tent so we could hear our neighbors snoring all night. I will say the private bathrooms in the main trailer building were a nice plus! There is laundry on site, but no atm. We had asked the property management if we could wash our clothes and then go get the money and hand it to them because we had no clean clothes. Unfortunately they said no which was rude. Would not stay here again solely for the lack of sleep and respect.

Nice stay

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.

Tent life !

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 !

Great stay to visit Arches and Canyonlands

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!

Incredible Experience!

Wow! I could not have been more pleasantly surprised with this place. My friend and I stayed here on a whim, and I definitely will be coming back--I have never stayed at a campsite so clean and organized before. Communication with the owners was great; I have no complaints. 5 stars!!

Great value

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.

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.
