Ballard RV Park

Due to the time of year that we were here we almost had the park to ourselves. The sites in our row were very long which was convenient for parking our truck. They are all gravel sites and fairly level. There are no shaded sites, the campground is very open. Arches NP and Moab are about 35-40 minutes away and Canyonlands is about 45-50 minutes away. There is 1 washer and 1 dryer. $4 for a wash and dry or $2 for each if you only need one or the other. It was quiet for the most part BUT there are 3 different trains that pass through just on the north side of the park: cargo, Amtrak and the Rocky Mountaineer and all blow their horns as they go by.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ballard RV park. Thompson Springs is a tiny town just off I-70, and about 30 minutes from entrances to Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, and similar distance from Moab. The campground is clean and well kept up, with good shower and laundry facilities. But the differentiator was how friendly and helpful the hosts were. Our mail delivery service arrived a couple days after we had left Ballard RV park, but the hosts offered to drive 45 minutes to meet us halfway to our next campground!! Their kindness saved us at least an hour and a half of extra driving, and they refused to take any payment for the assistance. Such great people!!

This is a very clean and updated park. The owner is very nice and we were able to get the last spot after getting shut out of every Moab campground. It's a bit out of the way but not too far for a basecamp. The sites and roads are gravel, the road is a bit loose so you can't really bike on it that easily if you have kids. The hook ups were pristine, they look brand new. All the sites are nice, mostly level, pull throughs. There aren't many views to speak of and little to no privacy. It was 3 stars for us but a nice stop over on our way through town.

Good base camp location, convenient to arches NP. The office staff where friendly and efficient. The park services are new and work well. We had a fifty amp pull through site. The site had water sewer and cable tv. There was very good WiFi in the park. The park uses portable fire pits and they sell firewood. The town is a time capsule of a time long gone. The only negative is there are no food stores in a convenient distance.

We had a great experience with this park. The location was convenient to Arches and to I70. The cell signal was strong. The hookups were good and decently located. The staff were very nice.

We arrived around 9PM and has someone (unexpectedly) help us find our site which was really nice. They will bring you a picnic table and a fire pit if you ask.

Our site was large, fairly level, and had really beautiful views. We were happy to arrive here after boondocking for a week.

We stayed one night here, just long enough to flush tanks, do laundry, and clean up from two weeks of boon docking in Moab. The laundry area has 2 washers and 2 dryers and they are in the main office area. It costs $4 for the wash/dry together. You have to pay the lady in the office, as they are residential machines and don't take quarters. The staff was very nice and they were busy. The sights were gravel and very well maintained. This was a great place to re-group right off of the I70 before we headed over the Rockies into Colorado. Its a basic campground but the cheapest in the area and very well maintained. We would absolutely stay here again.

This place is right off I-70, about 40 miles from Moab, Arches, Canyonlands, etc. This is their first season so the place is pretty plain, but well laid out. Far enough off the freeway for noise, but a slow train rolls through a couple times. Not bad. GRavel pads. Clean, well laid out. They just planted trees and are working on a dog area.
