We found a spot in Moab! We arrived on a Thursday because we heard that Willow Springs Rd., and some of the other spots located further north off of 191 can become packed on the weekends. THEY WERE!

We found a spot in Moab! We arrived on a Thursday because we heard that Willow Springs Rd., and some of the other spots located further north off of 191 can become packed on the weekends. THEY WERE! This location is approximately 11 miles south of downtown Moab, and a 25 minute drive to Arches National Park...we loved it!
GETTING THERE:
-GPS: 38.42535, -109.42
-Get water at the 2nd Maverick you see (on the left, near the end of town while heading south) - VERY convenient dump station and fill up for potable water (they even supplied a hose). It is definitely a hot spot for RVers and 4x4 enthusiasts though, but, no need to get frazzled by the crowds, everyone is there doing the same thing, so we embraced it! =)
-We drove south from I-70 to 191, drove past Arches NP, and through Moab, then turned left onto Yellow Circle Rd. Once you turn onto Yellow Circle Rd., stay left (there is a "no camping" sign to the right, anyway ;). There are plenty of spaces to park (but busier and noisier) in the first large group spots you will see, but, if you continue up the hill (a little rocky and steep, but doable if you're comfortable towing or have a smaller rig), we took the spot directly to the right, and a tent camper shared it with us on the weekend (still very spacious). We really enjoyed this spot, had a beautiful long distance view of Arches NP, met some really fun people on the weekend, and now we want to get a dirtbike - haha!
STATS:
-FREE
-RVs of all sizes and tent camping
EXPLORING:
-We hiked in Arches NP (25 minute drive to the entrance).
-Mountain biked around our campsite, up and down the roads and trails.
-Thought about renting a Wrangler or RAZR, but decided not to spend the $200-$300/day...eek.
DOGS:
-We had a lot of freedom here, and the dogs had a blast meeting other pups and people.
TIPS:
-If you can, arrive Sun-Thurs - it filled up on the weekend, and almost completely cleared out during the week.

We stayed here unexpectedly the week before doing Moab (had planned on staying in Valley of the Gods but couldn't get good enough internet for teaching). The easy access and convenience are hard to beat on the way into Moab from the south.
When you first turn off of US-191 there are signs stating "No camping next 0.6 miles" just follow the road around to the right and it is very obvious where the camping starts. Road is in great shape up to the first 'lower' group area. This is a huge area big enough for multiple big groups, we stayed here for the first few days. You can then continue up the hill, or over the wash and around to the right of the hill - both have a variety of group sized and individual sized camping areas. We made it up the hill no problem and set up just off the road for a few days of productivity before hitting the parks.
The scenery is pretty nice although there are power lines running through the area. Verizon LTE wasn't super fast but rock solid at around 5Mb/s all day long. The area is certainly popular but for most of the week there was room for another to rig to get in somewhere - we were not there for a weekend though.
