Portal RV Resort & Campground

Portal RV Resort & Campground is a private park on the south end of Moab, Utah, along the Colorado River. The riverside sites are the whole point: sitting outside while the river slides past and red canyon walls rise on both sides is the Moab postcard, and Portal puts you in it. The non-riverside sites are more ordinary, so book specifically for a river site if that is what drew you. It suits couples and small groups who will pay for setting, and it works especially well for Canyonlands-focused trips.

Why RVers stay here

The park has 70-plus sites with full hookups (30/50 amp, water, sewer), paved and gravel pads, a pool, laundry and Wi-Fi, and cell signal is good on all carriers. Rigs up to 55 feet fit. Riverside sites run $80 to $130 per night in peak season and standard sites $55 to $85, so budget on the premium if you want the view. The south-of-town location is slightly closer to the Canyonlands Island in the Sky turnoff on UT-313 and to the potash road with its petroglyphs and dinosaur tracks, but about 10 minutes farther from Arches than the north-end parks. That location and the price of river frontage are the trade-offs.

Moab RV Parks: Your Basecamp for Arches & Canyonlands

Portal occupies a prime spot along the Colorado River on the south end of town, and the riverside sites are the main draw. Sitting outside with the river sliding past while red canyon walls rise on both sides — that's the Moab postcard, and Portal puts you in it. The non-riverside sites are more ordinary, so book specifically for a river site if that's what brought you here.

Full hookups (30/50-amp), paved and gravel sites, and a pool round out the amenities. The park accommodates rigs up to 55 feet. Rates for riverside sites run $80–130/night in peak season — a premium, but the setting justifies it. Standard sites are $55–85/night.

The south-of-town location puts you slightly closer to the Canyonlands Island in the Sky turnoff (UT-313) and to the potash road that leads to some of the area's best petroglyphs and dinosaur tracks. It's about 10 minutes farther from Arches than the north-end parks.
