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.

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.

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.

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.

Even though I had a blanket, it was already too cold by September. The sound of trains passing by late at night was about a hundred times louder than I imagined. We couldn’t sleep well. Common space was so clean and cold.

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.

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 !

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The tent itself was nice and clean, and the property generally seemed nicely maintained. Unfortunately a ferocious howling wind blew up unexpectedly, which ripped open the tent's door flap (which we'd had cinched down tightly) and throttled the roof canvas; the cold of that wind blew through the additional door curtain and every space that wasn't solidly closed. We also had the vague expectation we could find something to eat that wasn't gas station food or a way to cook something--Ballard's office building has no options for folks to heat up food either--so that was also unpleasant.

I never heard from the host about how to check in so I didn’t even stay there. I didn’t get a refund or anything. This was a terrible experience.
