Canyonlands RV Resort & Campground

I just got settled in my site about an hour ago.

The bad: As soon as I walked into the office to purchase a spot, I got rude vibes from the staff. It started with them not even acknowledging me while they laughed amongst themselves, then poor customer service from there on out.
It’s January, with snow on the ground—not prime camping time in Moab. This campground is deserted aside from one RV, but the woman working the computer told me all their w/e sites were unavailable. Ummm? If it’s because the water is shut off for the winter, she should have said so. She didn’t offer any other solutions, so I was about to leave and go somewhere else when another office staff member stepped in and told me they had electric sites available. Neither of them were welcoming nor helpful, and honestly I kind of regret giving them my money. I would like to support a friendlier business, but I was tired and hungry and going elsewhere felt like a struggle.
And, just for electric, they’re charging $40 right now, in January. What a rip off. It’s $47.02 after taxes. And my site isn’t even level. So far the WiFi seems strong enough, but the login page specifically says it’s not streaming strength and tries to upsell you faster internet. Ugh.

The good: they let me camp here in my skoolie, no questions asked. Homemade campers aren’t always welcome at RV parks. The bathrooms are clean and tidy, although only two shower stalls are open since every other stall is closed due to Covid. It’s nice to see them at least taking some precautions.
The road noise isn’t bad in the off season. I imagine it’s a lot louder during the busy season.

This lost one star for being pricey and having tight spaces but it was a fine base camp to access Arches NP. Sandy dirt campsites, but some shade. Level, full hookups, nice shower and laundromat and convenience store. A cute little pool. The advertised dog run was nasty. Dusty dirt ground and lots if people were not cleaning up their dog poop.

Canyonlands is right in Moab which was very convenient for us. Only about 15min to Arches and 45min to Canyonlands National Park. Campground was well kept, bathrooms were nice, very shaded, full hookups worked well and concrete pad at site. Staff was friendly. My main complaint was how tight the spots were, when pulling in our truck went right up to the camper in front of us. When we went to pull out we went to the left and couldn't fit around the campground bathroom so we went to the right and had 2 other campers help us navigate and we still got our awning stuck under a tree on our site. The staff was very nice and came when they saw we were stuck and made sure to help us get out. Unfortunately later that day when we pulled our awning out we noticed tiny holes across our awning :( Hopefully the campground will work on the spacing or at least cut some of the limbs on the trees.

For clean and quite, this location was both and has a lot of shade. We have a 27' TT and made reservations for a "Premium" pull through site, which wasn't much more than a "non-Premium" except it wasn't on the ends of the row, I guess that makes it Premium. Our TT just made it into the site length wise with a little room to spare and we had to squeeze our TV barely next to it. Some put their TV on the front or back of their trailer which made the drive lanes more narrow and hard for the arrivals or exits. The Wifi should be called Wi-so-slow

We had a small 18’ camper that was able to fit on a tent site with w/e hookup. We parked our truck perpendicular in front of the camper and a motorcycle beside it, and there was plenty of room. Clean sites, lots of shade, friendly staff, convenient to town. The bathrooms had 3-4 showers, toilets, and sinks. The facilities were some of the cleanest I’ve seen. The laundry room had 5-6 washers and dryers, and they take credit cards. Pool was cool and clean. Texaco at the front of the campground. Play park for kids. LTE cell service for T-Mobile. Was only about half full when we visited and was fairly quiet. Our site was toward the back of the lot so we couldn’t hear the road traffic.

An RV park in the Moab area with trees? It exists! If you can get a spot in the first row in the campground you'll be in the shade most of the day, and that really helps with the desert temperatures. Each tree is automatically watered with a drip system, and each tree takes a gallon an hour, I was told. It's very lush, though they are mostly cottonwoods so your allergies might make you unhappy.

This place gets crazy! If you know Moab, you can guess what the traffic is like in a campground in town. There are loud parties and loud vehicles coming and going all day and well into the evening. So, if you're a part of that noise you don't need to worry about being quiet. If you want peace and quiet, you probably won't find it here.

The sites are fairly close together, and the rows are close to each other, too.

There is a nice convenience store at the entrance along with a gas station. The brewery is across the street, as is a grocery store. There is a lot within walking distance.

Compared to a lot of other RV parks, it's not the best. But compared to all of the other options in the Moab area with full hookups, this place is awesome.

This campground is a little oasis in the middle of the desert. My family had the opportunity to stay here this past weekend and loved it. We had a trailer and had upgraded to a pull through site. We arrived late-after the office had closed, but were able to locate our site and get settled really easily.

Most of the campground has plenty of shade, and due to social distancing guidelines, every other site was vacant-so we had plenty of space. Had the campground been full to capacity, it would have felt a little crowded.

There is an off leash dog play area that was perfect for our little guy. Larger dogs might get bored of it, but it did the trick for us. There are also a few restrooms and showers that were well maintained and clean.

Onsite, you'll see that there is a gas station and convenience store-which we really appreciated when we needed a few things. The lady running the place is not very friendly-she seems to be annoyed by travelers or maybe just had a bad weekend (she was unpleasant both days we went in). There is also a great looking swimming pool and group pavilion-both were closed, but I'd love to check them out another trip.

Our site was located right next to the camp host residence. Although our interactions with the staff were minimal, I did notice that there was a group of late teens/early twenty-somethings that were staying in the house and made a lot of noise. They were yelling, laughing and driving sporadically in and out of the park one night. I was a little surprised, since the camp hosts are usually the ones that set the example for the guests. But these guys were all about having a good time. Maybe next time, I'll go join them. ;-)
