A follow up on our FCRV trip to Moab/Slickrock Campground in October. We had 8 units and 19 people traveling together from Northern Colorado. Arches, Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point were all great. The 7 1/2 mile hike was ALMOST more than any of us wanted, but we made it. It's an incredible area to visit.
Slickrock Campground in Moab turned out just fine. Sites are a little close, and you are parking on grass/weeds. But the people are very friendly and helpful. Showers, hot tub, and laundry were in good shape. There are lots of trees that would be a big plus in the summer. There were a lot of people there for 4-wheeling, but no problem with noise after hours, etc.
I wouldn't have any problem recommending Slickrock - IF you aren't expecting the Ritz.
Next fall looks like we're going to do Yellowstone. Someone else gets to plan that one.
