We stayed in site 36 for a month while exploring the area.
We liked it for the space bt sites and were not right next to others like the Moab parks.
Only downside for us was the extremely loud trains.

Had a board to tell you what spots were available. Nice and quiet location almost nobody out. The only bad thing I notice is the trains are very loud at night when they pass tgrough. Great for one night stay

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 ... more
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 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.

Great place to stop and explore the area. Nice big pull through sites. Friendly staff. High water pressure. Being a regulator or buy one from them. Very clean. Glad I stopped here. 37 foot class A pulling a 10 foot trailer.

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.

Antelope! They seem to wander around near the train tracks in this little community. They were a little shy, but they did pose long enough for me to get this shot. This hotel has seen it's best...
