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.

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.

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.

Great stay outside of Arches
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 !

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.

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.

Awesome experience!
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.

Great Little Spot
This was perfect for what we needed, which was an inexpensive, different type of place to stay overnight. We were just looking for a place mid way between states to sleep before we headed back on the road and this worked out great. The property is well maintained, owners are friendly and accommodating, and the bathrooms are clean and accessible. There is power out side the tents if needed. The tent itself was roomy enough and very clean. I would say the only potential negative in the sound of the train passing through in the middle of the night, but for us it wasn't an issue. Would definitely stay here again.

A hidden gem with compromises
I stayed in one of the tents. The facility is clean, bathrooms - well attended, and my tent was in decent shape. It’s on a wood platform with two cots. You will need to bring a heater and extension cord. It IS the desert, and the nights can be freezing. Important note: the train passes the camp within a few hundred feet. The train crew sees to delight at blowing the horn as the pass near the campground late at night.

a wonderful, affordable camping option!
my friend and I were here to explore Arches and Canyonlands, and we are so glad we found this yurt! it was quiet, cozy, and the property literally has the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen on a campground! we were here in early August and expected it to be too hot to sleep, but the yurt comes with window flaps that keep it nice and cool. we did have a bit of trouble finding the yurt at first, but if you arrive in daylight, they're right behind the office! and it's such a great location, right off I-70 with a gas station and 7-11 nearby! about 45 mins to Arches and Moab, and the drive is beautiful! plus, the night sky is incredible! definitely check this place out if you're in the area!

Arrived to find our reserved tent space was occupied. Called the posted telephone number to get help from on site mgt. Recording informed us voice mailbox was full. Found unoccupied neighboring tent hoping it wasn't reserved by anyone else. After hunting for someone on staff a finally found someone who affirmed we could use the other empty space. Lots of RV and ATV noise as well as nearby freight train running thru the night. Restrooms and laundry area clean.
