43 ft fifth wheel

7 nights at South-40@LaSal Tent and RV Park

We really enjoyed our 1-week stay! The spot is located about 25 miles out of Moab and is very peaceful and quiet. The solitude and serenity were delightful! We were located about halfway between the Needles section of Canyonlands, where we wanted to hike, and the Island in the Sky section, where we biked. Stephen is incredibly helpful and friendly and always responded in a very short time when we had questions. The hip camp is spotlessly clean and even has great WiFi, which is rare in such spots. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it highly to others. We stayed in a 45-foot 5th wheel, and the site was large enough to accommodate our rig, the truck that pulls it, as well as my Jeep Grand Cherokee! One of the most comfortable and spacious Hip Camps we have stayed in.

The sunset was so beautiful here and we loved the remoteness of the spot. We are fans - beautiful land and a great way to connect with nature. We would definitely return. 🌈🦋😇

1 night at High Sage Hogans

Danny is absolutely a 5-star Host! I enjoyed chatting about our common outdoor interests, and he made my stay as a single traveller feel safe and welcoming. The teepee environment is incredibly memorable and I hope to return one day.

This was a great spot, super quiet and since we were the only folks staying in the area, very private.

Step when and his wife were so friendly! They met me at the campsite and allowed me to choose another site I liked better. All sites were well-maintained, level, and I believe all had electric and water. It was such a peaceful location. Highly recommend!

Danny is the kindest, most genuine man I’ve ever had the pleasure to spend a couple of days with. His campsite and property are truly beautiful. He has infinite wisdom and great story to share. Ringo the dog, Hazel the goat, Paco the Alpaca, and the rest of his animals are all so fun to hang out with too. He was so hospitable and friendly. Truly the best campsite I’ve ever stayed at.

Danny has a nice place to camp out at. I did the tepee, it was fun and was setup nice when I got there. He let me feed his alpaca which was a bonus.

Weekend Trip to Red Desert RV Park

The views were great and really close to the parks. Bathrooms super clean and easy to access.

3 nights at The Views at Gateway

Really enjoyed the stay. The land is beautiful and very clean. Had a great stay and definitely recommend. A ton of stars while sleeping listening to the river. Can't beat it. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

I had a great time at Danny's place. I was greeted by the property manager Ringo who showed me how to get to my spot 🤣. He's the best dog and loves to play fetch and follow you around. Danny is great and so friendly. He can help give you different places to explore. I stayed for 3 nights but knowing what I know now should have stayed at minimum 5 nights to do more exploring of the area. Will definitely need to come back. His property I feel is pretty central to all the spots I wanted to visit. Moab, Arches and Canyonlands (either entry his property is not too far away). The porta potty was clean and tp well stocked. The great bonus were his farm animals and getting to feed them. I car camped here and felt safe as a solo camper. The sunsets are breathtaking and there is very minimal road noise and the occasional coyotes howling in the evening. He has tee pees also available for an add on which I may check out at another time. Would definitely recommend this camp site.

1 night at Red Desert RV Park

The location was beautiful and the check in was super easy. The bathrooms weren’t the cleanest, but I would recommend this place for an overnight RV trip.

1 night at South-40@LaSal Tent and RV Park

Great setup for our van on a cold night when we needed power for some extra heat. Quiet, tucked away spot. Instructions from host got us right to the location. And, dare I say, the cutest pit toilet I have ever used.

3 nights at Red Desert RV Park

We had a wonderful camp site! Showers were heaven and everyone was very helpful!

The host Jody was great. Made sure I had what it needed. Beautiful views, right on the river, solid walls for cold fall nights. She made sure I had a heater. Did a ton of fishing and exploring. Felt like you had the entire canyon to yourself. Loved it... so did my pup. Thanks!

Weekend Trip to The Views at Gateway

I had the best time with my two pups camping on Jodi property! The views were stunning! She was very considerate when I arrived making sure I had everything I needed; the land had plenty of space to explore and hike! Fantastic sunsets! I love the location next to the river! I will for sure be back; highly recommend to anyone else looking for a great camping experience.
