Moab Rim Campark: RV, Tent & Cabin Guide
Moab Rim Campark sits 2 miles south of downtown Moab with sweeping views of Spanish Valley and the La Sal Mountains. Full hookup RV sites, grass tent sites, and four tiers of camping cabins put it in a rare category — one property with a room, a rig site, or a pitch for anyone in the group.

The Do It All Campark South of Moab
Moab Rim Campark is the friendly, family run option most Moab travelers wish they'd known about sooner. Two miles south of downtown on Highway 191, the property runs three distinct lodging types side by side: full hookup RV sites for rigs of every size, spacious grass tent sites (yes, actual grass in the desert), and four tiers of camping cabins that scale from a queen bed and a bunk up to an ADA accessible unit with a real kitchenette.
The value proposition is simple: nightly rates run roughly 20–40 percent below the resort tier RV parks in Moab, the seventh night is free on weekly stays, extra parking for tow rigs and utility trailers is included at no charge, and portable fire pits are loaned out on request. What you don't get is a resort pool or a fitness center — this is an honest, well maintained working campark, not a manicured RV resort.
The location fits how most people actually use Moab. Downtown restaurants and the Arches entrance are both a straight shot up 191, and it's roughly 15 minutes to trailheads for hiking, off-roading, and mountain biking. Hiking and biking trails leave from just behind the campground itself, so a rest day doesn't have to mean a driving day.
Ask for the discount at booking: Multiple traveler reports note that AAA and AARP discounts are not applied automatically and must be requested at reservation time. Bring the card, mention it when you book, and confirm the discount is on your invoice before you pay.
Three Ways to Stay
Moab Rim is one of the few Moab properties where a group splitting hotels and campers can co-locate. Here's how each of the three options actually works.
Full & Partial Hookup RV Sites
$44–$66 per night · 2 peoplePull through sites with 30 and 50 amp power, water, sewer, cable TV, and free WiFi. Level gravel pads and grass strips beside most sites.

- Cable TV and WiFi included at every site

Grass Tent Sites
$33 per night · 2 peopleReal grass tent sites are rare in the desert — Moab Rim runs underground sprinklers to keep them green.

- Spacious grass pitch with picnic table and fire pit
- Optional electric power for a small upcharge

What's Included
Six amenities that consistently show up in reviews as reasons repeat guests come back.
New Shower Building
Recently rebuilt bathhouse with plenty of hot water and included showers for every paying guest. Non guests can purchase a shower for $5 per person.
Free Extra Parking
Bring the tow rig, the utility trailer, and the accessory truck — Moab Rim doesn't charge extra for any of them. Rare in commercial RV parks.
Camp Store
On site store carries convenience and food items, RV supplies, souvenirs, hats, and shirts. Handy for the small stuff you forgot to pack.
WiFi With 6 Towers
Reconstructed WiFi network with six access towers around the campground, so you can actually get a signal from your site instead of only near the office.
Small Playground
On site playground for the kids — modest, but useful for burning off energy during downtime between trail days.
Trail Access
Hiking and biking trails run right behind the property. A walking trail loops through the area and doubles as a good spot for a morning dog walk.

The Honest Verdict
Traveler reviews cluster tightly around the same themes. Here's what to expect and what to plan around.

- New shower building with real hot water pressure
- Grass at most sites, unusual in the desert
- Friendly, service oriented staff mentioned in nearly every review
- Camp store handles the "we forgot" items
What Doesn't
- Highway 191 noise, especially at front row sites near the road
- Sites can feel close together with limited privacy in peak season
- No on site pool, hot tub, or fitness center
- No laundry facility on property (a laundromat is 5 min away)
- Bathhouse capacity gets tight when the park is full
- Discounts must be requested — not applied automatically
- Cabins require you to bring your own bedding and towels
How to Book Moab Rim Campark
A straightforward reservation flow — the campark books directly through its own website and by phone.
Pick your stay type first
Decide between an RV site (full or partial hookup), a grass tent site, or a cabin (camping or deluxe). Rates vary meaningfully — a full hookup RV site averages $57, a tent site is $33, and a cabin runs $74–$104.
Book on the campark's website
Reserve directly at moabrimcampark.com or call (435) 259-5002. Peak season books out 2–3 months ahead; Easter Jeep Safari week goes even earlier and often carries an event surcharge.
Mention your discount up front
AAA and AARP members save on published rates, but the staff does not ask at booking or checkout. Say the card at reservation, again at check in, and confirm the discount is on the invoice before you pay.
Bring bedding for cabin stays
Cabins include mattress covers but no bedding or towels — pack sheets or sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, and shower towels. For RV and tent sites, this doesn't apply.
Note the cancellation policy
Cabins require one week minimum cancellation notice. Peak season and event weeks can carry stricter terms — read the terms at booking so a plan change doesn't turn into a full loss.
Moab Rim Campark FAQ
How much does Moab Rim Campark cost per night?
Rates for two people run approximately: $49–$66 for a full hookup RV site, $44–$61 for water and electric only, $33 for a grass tent site, $74 for a camping cabin, and $104 for a New Deluxe cabin. Winter cabin rates drop to $59 and $89. Extra person is $5 per night; kids 5 and under stay free. Stay 7 nights on an RV site and the 7th is free.
What's the difference between camping cabins and New Deluxe cabins?
Camping cabins are bare bones sleeping quarters with a bed setup, A/C and heat, mini fridge, and microwave — but no plumbing inside, so you use the shared bathhouse. New Deluxe cabins add a four burner stove top, sink, private bathroom with shower, and cable TV, essentially functioning as a small studio.
Does Moab Rim Campark have tent sites?
Yes — spacious grass tent sites at $33 per night for two people, with picnic tables and fire pits included. That makes it one of the rare Moab properties where tent campers, RVers, and cabin renters can all book together. There's a small upcharge if you need a tent site wired for electric power.
Are pets allowed at Moab Rim Campark?
Pets are welcome at RV and tent sites with a 2 pet maximum. Cabins accept pets in designated units only, with advance notice and a $20 per pet cleaning fee. Ask when booking to make sure your cabin is pet approved.
Is there a pool or hot tub?
No — Moab Rim is an honest campark, not a resort. If a pool matters for your trip, see our full Moab RV parks guide for parks with resort amenities.
How far is Moab Rim Campark from Arches National Park?
The Arches entrance is roughly 15 minutes north via Highway 191, straight through downtown Moab. Plan on being on the road by 6 am for sunrise starts to Delicate Arch or Devils Garden during peak season.
Is there laundry on site?
No, Moab Rim does not have a laundry facility. Staff can direct you to a nearby laundromat that's roughly 5 minutes away — a minor inconvenience compared to Spanish Trail's on site 24 hour laundry, but not a dealbreaker for shorter stays.
