Member Title: Moab, UT RV park
The original poster asked for opinions on RV parks in Moab for a weeklong stop in mid-June, preferring full hookups and avoiding a resort atmosphere, while noting that town sounds busy. Members mentioned Moab RV Park and Resort, formerly OK RV Park, as a pleasant and less expensive option just outside town, and Seven Mile RV Park as a quiet, inexpensive park with both dry camping and full hookup sites; Portal RV Resort was noted as a more expensive in-town option with more amenities.

Points of agreement
Moab can be busy and chaotic in town.
Park choice depends on whether members want lower cost and quiet outside town or more amenities in town.
Heat is a major factor for a June or even early fall visit, especially for biking and outdoor activity.
The original poster then reconsidered the June stop after being reminded temperatures may be near 100, and said they would likely try in the fall instead. One member added that even late September can still be quite hot, with early October looking more moderate, so the discussion shifted from park selection to timing around weather.
This year we're considering adding a week stop second week of June in Moab on the way to ID & MT. Any suggestions/opinions for RV parks? Don't need a resort; but, prefer full hookups. Sounds like "town" is pretty chaotic.
Thanks
We stayed in Moab once. We stayed at OK RV Park a couple years ago. I think it’s now called Moab RV Park and Resort. It was a pleasant little park just out of town. There’s no pool but much less money than the ones in town that do have a pool. We didn’t plan to spend much time in the park and go touring so it worked well for us.
You’re right, it can get busy in town and there are a couple nice parks on the main strip. Moab is an interesting town with plenty to see around the area.
We stayed at Seven Mile RV Park (dry camping). They also have water sewer and electric sites.
Very inexpensive.
It on the north side of the Colorado River. Nice and quiet.
Thanks for the info. I may have gotten the cart before the horse as an e-mtn bike riding friend pointed out the temps will be near 100. Way to hot for me to be mtn biking; I overheat much faster now that I'm north of 70 (actually been that way for a couple of decades). We'll try during the fall.
Wife and I visited several Nat. Parks in Utah in the fall. I think Sept 23 or so. Still WAY too hot. Although there were bikers, I think from Europe. They had a repair van/truck following them and fixing stuff. Just check history and early Oct. high temps seem to be upper 70s. Late Sept mid 80s. And not many trees in Utah! LOL
You might try Utahraptor State park, the park and campground are pretty new. Lots of big pull through spots. It's ~10 miles outside of Moab and close to Arches National Park. Since it's a state park the camping fees are pretty inexpensive.
We stay in that area often and it is always crowded. We almost always just stay in the KOA. It clean, everything works, easy parking. It is on the south end just outside of down town so no crowds and noise, except normal hwy noise. FYI, just returned from a few days in Monitcello and valley of the Gods just south of Moab and it is already hot down there.
). We'll try during the fall.
