A solitary figure stands on a rocky trail in a vast, arid desert landscape surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs and buttes bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun. The scene exudes a profound sense of serenity, solitude, and awe-inspiring natural beauty. The rocky terrain is dotted with hardy desert vegetation, adding touches of muted greens and grays to the earthy color palette of oranges, reds, and purples. The distant mesas and plateaus stretch out towards the horizon, creating a sense of vastness and exploration. This image captures the essence of the American Southwest's unique and captivating desert landscapes.

Where to Stay in Moab for Arches and Canyonlands National Parks

So you want to visit Arches and/or Canyonlands National Park and explore Moab too but you don’t know where to stay? (Save this post for your trip to these parks!) If you prefer to stay in hotels/motels there are definitely plenty of options but if you’re going on a busy weekend definitely make sure you plan ahead of time. The last time I went the hotel was so packed I couldn’t find parking a few nights. Also, because Moab is so small it doesn’t really matter what end of town you stay on, you’ll have quick access to all of the activities around the town. These are my two hotel recs: 🛏 Red Stone Inn-this was the first place I ever stayed and was incredibly pleased with it. There isn’t anything crazy amenities wise but there is a hot tub for after those long adventure days and kitchenettes if you want to save money and not eat out! 🛏 Super 8-This spot was just as budget friendly as the Red Stone Inn and exactly what you need if you’re spending your day adventuring and just need a place to crash. They have a pool, a hot tub, and a decent enough breakfast for me so I wouldn’t shy away from this as an option. Let’s talk camping! I did camp on one of my trips and it was so amazing! There are loads of camping spots all around Moab in every direction. Including a few BLM spots! To my knowledge it’s all first come first serve and honestly I have yet to see a spot where waking up wouldn’t include an epic view. You’ll definitely want to be there early to claim a spot on busy weekends or during peak season but in February the camping is pretty open! The one thing I can’t suggest but have heard about is Airbnb’s. I haven’t stayed in any there but have heard there are a few pretty unique ones if you look hard enough, so take that as you will! What is your favorite way to stay when adventuring to new places? Camping or something with four walls? *Ill be putting up a new blog with more details on where to stay in Moab soon so keep your eyes peeled!*
