RV travel guide
Grand County
County seat Moab, 3,672 sq mi across Utah. Everything an RV traveler should read before rolling in — where you can boondock, the roads worth the detour, and the local rule that actually matters.
The county in brief
A traveler's read on Grand County
Moab's metro hosts 1.4M Arches NP visitors in a 6-month window April-October per NPS visitor counts — the per-capita visitor-to-resident ratio (146:1 annual) is the highest of any town adjacent to a national park in the US, and the practical effect is that any RV parking strategy that doesn't pre-book Sand Flats, Up the Creek, or BLM Goose Island by the Wednesday before will run hot.
UT-128 along the Colorado River from Moab to I-70 is the canonical rig-friendly alternative to the busy US-191 corridor, with 11 BLM developed RV-friendly campgrounds along 44 miles of river-grade road. Arches' timed-entry reservation runs April through October and is mandatory between 7am and 4pm.
