Let me preface this review by saying that the issues I have primarily rest on the shoulders of Canyonlands’ senior management team and Sun Resorts. The Park Manager and Facilities Manager were empathetic and did all they could given their positions.
Canyonlands RV Resort is located in a prime location in downtown Moab, UT. Close to the major national parks, dining and amenities Moab has to offer. The grounds were nice, well kept, and manicured each day.
Upon arrival, I was informed that extra vehicles “must” be parked in an overflow lot located down a hill near a creek. The fee for the extra vehicle is $5 per day. This sort of policy is not unheard of, so I paid the fee and moved my extra vehicle to the designated parking area.
Around the overflow parking areas is a creek, dog park, picnic area, and tent camping sites. Muddy branches and leaves scattered the area and a work truck was loaded with debris, presumably awaiting a trip to the dump. As far as I knew, the tent sites were available to rent when I checked in.
That night, several thunderstorms rolled through the area. A flash flood warning was issued for the area at 11:30pm. At 2:00am, remembering the debris in the overflow parking area, I decided to check on my vehicle. I found my vehicle lifted by flood waters and pinned between trees, surrounded by park debris (tables, planks, etc). It was clear the vehicle had severe water damage. I quickly retreated from the life-threatening situation.
The next morning, park staff found me to discuss the situation. I tend to pay close attention to how organizations respond to situations like this and I have a few thoughts.
First, this is not the first time a flood has impacted the overflow parking area. Less than a week before my stay, flood waters inundated the area and the staff was still cleaning up the debris. There were no signs indicating the lower lots were prone to floods nor did the staff even mention this. It was made abundantly clear through in the informational handouts that vehicles “MUST be parked in the overflow lot”. While the flooding event was in fact an act of god, the resort’s policy mandated vehicles be parked in a known flood area. Informed consent would be critical here, where the staff lets you know that if there’s a chance of rain, you should park elsewhere; I absolutely would not have parked at the resort had I known this. Vitally, no such warning was given.
Second, this was a life-threatening, late-night flood event. Had tent campers been in the area, they would have been faced with a truly serious situation. The walk bridge from the park to the tent sites was washed away in the flood. The sites may have been closed, but there was no signage anywhere indicating the danger of the area. The lackadaisical approach of senior staff to the deadly area on their own property is, in my opinion, negligent and could have killed people. Luckily, only property was lost and hopefully lessons gained.
Third, Sun Communities staff still has not reached out to me directly to offer any apology or discuss the way forward. I’m currently moving as part of an official active-duty military move and lost hundreds of dollars of household goods items that were in the vehicle. There has been no discussion of compensation for these items, assistance with the loss of this vehicle, or otherwise. It’s worth noting I have still been charged the $5/day for parking it.
Fourth, park staff admitted that flooding has plagued the area as recently as a few days ago. It was clear the park knew of this issue.
I hope this information assists anyone considering a stay at Canyonlands RV Resort in Moab, UT.

With a 34 foot fifth wheel, we had a hard time making the turn to enter the campground. The turns are also tight to exit! With a pull through site, we had 4” between our truck and the slide out on the rig next door. Staff was nice, location is in town. Laundry and bathrooms were clean. Public WiFi is slow so we used our phones.

Came to see Arches National Park. We were planning on staying on BLM land because who doesn't like free sites, but we ended up staying here. It has all the amenities. Two restrooms sites with showers, laundry, swimming pool, playground, dump stations, general store, etc. So I can't complain. however, I do have two things. One, the restrooms are a trip to get to from the tent sites. You have to walk around the whole campground to reach them. Second, we had a tree that was dripping sap. It got on our shoes, chairs, and tent. It was difficult to clean the morning we left.
I almost forgot, It's really quiet, so quiet you can hear a pin drop. Everyone is so quiet that you're afraid to make any noise quiet.
The drive is nice to Arches

If you need a FHU, and can bypass the very tempting dry camping spots throughout the area, and can stand close by neighbors, this place isn't that bad.
Did not use the bathrooms. Laundry was ok. CCTV was nice. Wifi was pretty good, until prime time evening hours, when it bogged down. It was pretty nice to walk to the Moab Brewery, though it is Utah, and the bar is pretty low when it comes to beer options - UT is definitely a BYOBeer destination. Although on the busy main drag in Moab, no detectable road noise overnight.
5 miles from Arches NP.

I just got settled in my site about an hour ago.
The bad: As soon as I walked into the office to purchase a spot, I got rude vibes from the staff. It started with them not even acknowledging me while they laughed amongst themselves, then poor customer service from there on out.
It’s January, with snow on the ground—not prime camping time in Moab. This campground is deserted aside from one RV, but the woman working the computer told me all their w/e sites were unavailable. Ummm? If it’s because the water is shut off for the winter, she should have said so. She didn’t offer any other solutions, so I was about to leave and go somewhere else when another office staff member stepped in and told me they had electric sites available. Neither of them were welcoming nor helpful, and honestly I kind of regret giving them my money. I would like to support a friendlier business, but I was tired and hungry and going elsewhere felt like a struggle.
And, just for electric, they’re charging $40 right now, in January. What a rip off. It’s $47.02 after taxes. And my site isn’t even level. So far the WiFi seems strong enough, but the login page specifically says it’s not streaming strength and tries to upsell you faster internet. Ugh.
The good: they let me camp here in my skoolie, no questions asked. Homemade campers aren’t always welcome at RV parks. The bathrooms are clean and tidy, although only two shower stalls are open since every other stall is closed due to Covid. It’s nice to see them at least taking some precautions.
The road noise isn’t bad in the off season. I imagine it’s a lot louder during the busy season.

Canyonlands is right in Moab which was very convenient for us. Only about 15min to Arches and 45min to Canyonlands National Park. Campground was well kept, bathrooms were nice, very shaded, full hookups worked well and concrete pad at site. Staff was friendly. My main complaint was how tight the spots were, when pulling in our truck went right up to the camper in front of us. When we went to pull out we went to the left and couldn't fit around the campground bathroom so we went to the right and had 2 other campers help us navigate and we still got our awning stuck under a tree on our site. The staff was very nice and came when they saw we were stuck and made sure to help us get out. Unfortunately later that day when we pulled our awning out we noticed tiny holes across our awning :( Hopefully the campground will work on the spacing or at least cut some of the limbs on the trees.

Our TT just made it into the site length wise with a little room to spare and we had to squeeze our TV barely next to it. Some put their TV on the front or back of their trailer which made the drive lanes more narrow and hard for the arrivals or exits. The Wifi should be called Wi-so-slow
