At 13701 US Highway 191 in Moab, Utah—in Grand County where the Colorado River cuts through Canyonlands' uplift in the canyon system that has produced the most visually dramatic landscape in the American West, where Arches National Park's 2,000 documented natural sandstone arches rise from the red rock plateau above town, and where the mountain biking, whitewater rafting, four-wheel-drive, and hiking culture of the Colorado Plateau's outdoor recreation economy has made Moab the most visited small city in Utah—Sun Outdoors Canyonlands Gateway provides full hookup RV sites with sites up to 110 feet, an on-site gas station, a general store, a swimming pool with a splash pad, and the comprehensive site infrastructure that Moab's year-round visitor market and its frequent afternoon heat make essential for comfortable multi-day stays at the gateway to two national parks. The on-site gas station alone changes the morning logistics for guests departing for Arches or Canyonlands with a large rig. Deluxe and extra-large RV sites with full hookup service—30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer—on leveled gravel pads accommodate rigs from 40 to 110 feet, covering the full spectrum of current motorhome and fifth-wheel lengths. Picnic tables, charcoal grills, cable television, and WiFi are included at each site. Primitive tent sites with picnic tables, charcoal grills, cable, and WiFi, plus water spigots and access to the shared bathhouses, provide the lower-cost camping option. Camping cabins with two full-size beds, heating and air conditioning, linens, and cable and WiFi give guests without RVs the enclosed accommodation option. A swimming pool with an adjacent splash pad provides the afternoon heat relief that Moab's summer temperatures—regularly exceeding 100 degrees from June through August—make genuinely necessary for guests planning to spend mornings in the parks and afternoons at the campground. An on-site gas station, general store, laundry facilities, propane service, multiple picnic areas with fire pits, and covered pavilions with BBQ grills complete the resort's full-service infrastructure. Arches National Park, accessible from the resort within minutes on US 191 north, provides the sandstone arch concentration that has made Moab internationally recognizable—Delicate Arch's 65-foot span above the Colorado River canyon appearing in virtually every piece of Utah promotional material since Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire popularized the Arches landscape in 1968. The park's 2,000-plus documented natural arches, fins, and balanced rocks are accessible on the park road with developed trailheads ranging from the 100-yard Windows Section walk to the strenuous Devil's Garden Primitive Loop. Canyonlands National Park, the larger and less-visited counterpart to Arches, divides its terrain into three distinct districts separated by the Colorado and Green Rivers' confluence—the Island in the Sky mesa above the river junction providing the most accessible and panoramic viewpoints in the Colorado Plateau system. Dead Horse Point State Park, perched above the Colorado River's 2,000-foot Goose Neck canyon in a position that most Moab visitors cite as more visually stunning than anything in either national park, is accessible on the same road as the Island in the Sky and should be included in any Canyonlands day trip. Sun Outdoors Canyonlands Gateway operates year-round in Moab's four-season desert climate. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures for hiking and cycling; summer brings the heat but also the full river rafting season on the Colorado's Cataract Canyon. Reserve your extra-large site early for spring break and the fall October shoulder season, fill up at the on-site gas station on the morning of your national park drive, and let Grand County's canyon geology earn what two national parks within 30 minutes of each other look like when the red rock is catching the first light.
