Arches National Park Moab, Utah Arches National Park Moab, UtahMay 21, 2007. There are multiple commercial campgrounds in Moab. All of them appear to be good or at least adequate------no slums anyway. We decided to stay in OK RV-Park & Canyonlands Stables 3310 Spanish Valley Drive 435-259-1400 because it was a PPA park thus 1/2 price. Even at half price it was $15.50 per-night for FHU with 30/30 amps and cable included. Most RV-Parks in the area are going to be around $25 plus a stiff tax. This park had some shade so we picked it but the nice Spanish Trail RV-Park has nice shade as well and both are within a mile of each other. All of the parks in Moab appear to have gravel interior roads and sites.

Moab fault
Passport America - Discount Camping Club This is the fault that created the valley Moab sits in and US-191 follows through Moab. It is easy to see where sedimentary layers have been broken and faulted. That highway at the bottom of the fault is US-191 as it passes by the entrance to Arches National Park.

Here is that fault line again with US-191 running along the bottom. This time you can see the other side of that fault.
Now look at this explanation of the fault. The two pictures above are along the dotted line in the explanation below.
