Sunsets of Moab RV Park: The Quiet One
Sunsets of Moab is a small full hookup RV park tucked off Highway 191 on Bobcat Lane, south of downtown. No pool, no bathhouse, no crowds — just level sites, 30 and 50 amp power, an off road vehicle rinse area, hiking straight out the back, and the evening light show the park is named after. For self contained rigs that want quiet over amenities, this is the pick.

Moab's Small, Quiet Full Hookup Park
Sunsets of Moab RV Park is the opposite of a resort, and that's the point. It's a small property on Bobcat Lane, set back from Highway 191 in a residential pocket of south Moab, which removes the number one complaint travelers have about the big commercial parks along the highway: the constant hum of truck traffic. Reviews consistently describe it the same way — hard to find the first time, wonderfully quiet after that, with sweeping views that earn the name at both ends of the day.
Every site delivers full hookups — water, sewer, and your choice of 110, 30, or 50 amp power — plus free WiFi and a picnic table. The park handles rigs up to 100 feet of total length, and the spaces suit Class A motorhomes well. What it deliberately doesn't have is a bathhouse, showers, or laundry. Your rig's plumbing is the plumbing, which keeps the park small, the rates honest, and the clientele experienced.
The location is built for trail days. An off road vehicle rinse area on site means you can hose the sand off the Jeep or side by side after a run on Hell's Revenge or the other Moab off road trails, and hiking leaves directly from the park — no drive required for a sunrise leg stretch. Downtown restaurants, the Arches entrance, and the Colorado River rafting put ins are all an easy shot up Highway 191.
Insider tip: The park sits in a residential pocket and the entrance off Bobcat Lane is easy to overshoot on the first pass — drop a pin on the address before you arrive and come in slow. Once you're parked, that tucked away location is exactly why you'll sleep better here than anywhere along the 191 corridor.
Is Sunsets of Moab Right for Your Rig?
This is a niche park by design. Thirty seconds here saves you a mis-booked weekend.
Book It If…
- Your rig is fully self contained — onboard bathroom, shower, and tanks
- Quiet matters more to you than a pool or clubhouse
- You're hauling a Jeep, side by side, or dirt bikes and want a rinse area on site
- You want hiking access without starting the truck
- You're piloting a big rig — sites handle up to 100 feet total
- You'd rather watch the sky change color than watch cable TV
Look Elsewhere If…
- You need showers or a bathhouse — try Spanish Trail RV Park, which has the cleanest in town
- You want on site laundry — Spanish Trail runs theirs 24 hours
- You're tent camping — see our Moab campgrounds guide instead
- You want resort amenities like a pool and fitness center — that's Village Camp
- You're on a tight budget with a smaller rig — Moab Rim Campark starts lower
What's Included at Every Site
No frills doesn't mean no substance. The core infrastructure is all here.
Full Hookups
Water, sewer, and power at every site — no dump station runs, no water hauling. Your rig operates exactly like it would at any full service park.
110 / 30 / 50 Amp Power
Three power options cover everything from a camper van on a standard plug to a Class A running two air conditioners through a Moab summer evening.
Off Road Vehicle Rinse Area
A dedicated wash down spot for muddy, sand caked machines after a trail day. Most Moab parks make you find a car wash in town; here it's steps from your site.
Free WiFi
Included at every site. Good enough for route planning, forecasts, and uploading the day's trail footage.
Hiking From the Park
Trails leave directly from the property — a genuine rarity among Moab's commercial RV parks. Morning walks and sunset scrambles without touching the ignition.
Common Area & Picnic Tables
A shared common area and a picnic table at your site cover the camp chair hours. Extra parking for tow vehicles and trailers is available for a small nightly fee.
Rates & Fees, Itemized
Sunsets of Moab publishes an unusually specific fee structure. Here's the full picture so your invoice holds no surprises. All rates are before tax.
| Item | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Back up site, nightly | $80 | Based on 1–2 people; two units included (rig + tow vehicle) |
| Extra person, age 10 and up | $3 / person / night | Site capacity is 8 people maximum |
| Additional unit parking | $5 / night / unit | For a third unit — utility trailer, second vehicle, toy hauler |
| Reservation fee | $3.50 / site | Non refundable in all cases |
| Cancellation, 8+ days out | $5 card fee | Plus the non refundable $3.50 reservation fee |
| Cancellation, inside 8 days | 50% of reservation | Forfeited — lock your dates before booking peak weekends |
Count your units before booking: A motorhome towing a Jeep is two units — included. Add a utility trailer for the dirt bikes and you're at three, which triggers the $5 nightly parking fee. Cheap, but declare it at booking so there's space allocated when you arrive.
What's Around Sunsets of Moab
Drive times from Bobcat Lane. The south Moab location favors Canyonlands' Needles district and the Spanish Valley trail systems, with everything else an easy run up 191.
| Destination | Drive Time | What You'll Do There |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Moab (Main Street) | ~8 minutes | Restaurants, City Market grocery, outfitter shops |
| Arches National Park entrance | ~18 minutes | Delicate Arch, Devils Garden, sunrise photography |
| Canyonlands Island in the Sky | ~40 minutes | Mesa Arch, Grand View Point overlooks |
| Dead Horse Point State Park | ~45 minutes | Rim overlooks, Intrepid mountain biking, sunset |
| Hell's Revenge trailhead | ~18 minutes | Iconic slickrock trail — rinse the rig when you're back |
| Spanish Valley MTB trails | ~5–15 minutes | Klondike-style riding without the north-of-town drive |
| Colorado River rafting put in | ~15–25 minutes | Half day and full day rafting trips |
The Honest Verdict
Reviews of Sunsets of Moab split along one clean line: travelers who knew what they were booking love it, and travelers expecting a full service park don't. Here's the pattern.
What Works
- Genuinely quiet — set back from Highway 191, away from truck noise
- Big open views; the sunsets (and sunrises) earn the name
- On site rinse area is a real perk for off road groups
- Handles rigs to 100 feet — legitimate big rig capacity
- Hiking directly from the park, no drive needed
- Welcoming, attentive owners noted across reviews
- Transparent, itemized pricing with a fair 8 day cancellation window
What Doesn't
- No bathhouse, showers, or laundry — self contained rigs only
- Residential neighborhood setting; occasional local noise (dogs, music) shows up in reviews
- Entrance is tricky to find on the first approach
- Small property — limited availability on peak weekends
- No camp store; every supply run means a drive to town
- $80 nightly puts it above budget parks despite the minimal amenities
How to Book Sunsets of Moab
The park runs its own online reservation system — no third party fees beyond the itemized ones above.
Confirm your rig qualifies
Self contained only: onboard bathroom, shower, and holding tanks. If your setup depends on a shared bathhouse, book Spanish Trail or Moab Rim Campark instead.
Count your people and units
Base rate covers two people and two units. Add $3 per night for each extra person age 10 and up (8 max), and $5 per night for each unit beyond two.
Reserve on the official site
Book online at sunsetsofmoabrvpark.com or call (435) 260-8509. The small site count means spring and fall weekends disappear early — reserve 2–3 months out.
Mind the 8 day cancellation line
Cancel 8 or more days before arrival and you're out only $8.50 in fees. Inside 8 days you forfeit half the reservation, so don't book speculative peak dates you might drop late.
Pin the entrance before arrival
Navigate to 49 E Bobcat Lane, not just "Moab." The turn off is easy to miss and reviews mention circling back. Arrive in daylight the first time if you're piloting a long rig.
Sunsets of Moab FAQ
How much does Sunsets of Moab RV Park cost per night?
A back up full hookup site runs $80 per night for two people, plus tax and a non refundable $3.50 reservation fee. Extra people age 10 and up are $3 per night each (8 person site maximum), and a third unit beyond your rig and tow vehicle adds $5 per night.
Does Sunsets of Moab have bathrooms, showers, or laundry?
No. The park has no bathhouse, shower building, or laundry facility, which is why it suits self contained rigs only — your onboard bathroom and shower are the plumbing. For a park with full facilities, see Spanish Trail RV Park.
Is Sunsets of Moab big rig friendly?
Yes — the reservation system accepts rigs up to 100 feet of total length, and the spaces are well suited to Class A motorhomes. The trickier part is the residential approach off Bobcat Lane, so first timers with long rigs should arrive in daylight.
Can I wash my off road vehicle at the park?
Yes — Sunsets of Moab has a dedicated off road vehicle rinse area on site, one of the few Moab RV parks that does. After a day on Hell's Revenge or Fins and Things, you can hose down the machine steps from your site instead of hunting for a car wash in town.
Are pets allowed at Sunsets of Moab?
Yes, pets are allowed. Keep in mind the park sits in a residential pocket, so leash up and expect the occasional neighborhood dog to answer back.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel 8 or more days before arrival and you're charged only a $5 card transaction fee plus the non refundable $3.50 reservation fee. Cancel inside the 8 day window and you forfeit 50% of the total reservation.
Why is it called Sunsets of Moab?
The park's open, elevated position south of town faces a broad sweep of sky over the rim country, and the evening color is the property's signature. Reviewers point out the sunrises hold their own too — the view runs in both directions.
