Sun Outdoors Arches Gateway

84 RV Sites, 33 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites, 3 Cottages, 8 Airstreams

Sun Outdoors Arches Gateway in Moab, Utah, offers 84 RV sites, 36 cabin and cottage units, three tent sites, and eight Airstreams five miles from Arches National Park, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. A premium covered full-hookup tent and van category joins deluxe and premium pull-through tiers, with a pool and hot tub. Eighty-four sites span standard, deluxe pull-thru 30/50-amp, premium pull-thru 30/50-amp, small RV/deluxe tent, and premium covered full-hookup tent/van categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables and BBQ pits. Two categories are worth knowing about: the covered tent and van sites give shade in a place where shade is scarce, and the small RV/deluxe tent tier right-sizes for van travelers. Thirty-six cabins and cottages, three tent sites, and eight Airstreams round out an unusually varied lodging inventory. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Moab Valley RV Resort & Campground. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the grounds. Hot air ballooning runs nearby. Pets are welcome. Arches protects more than 2,000 natural stone arches, the largest concentration anywhere, with Canyonlands stretching beyond. Spring and fall are peak in Moab. Reserve well ahead.

The Nest at Black Hawk

The Nest at Black Hawk in Colorado offers geodesic dome lodging in the mountains above town, with a private hot tub and sauna, panoramic Front Range views, and cabins on a property open all year. A bar, snack bar, general store, and community fire pit round out an experience with very little in common with conventional camping. The seven-meter geodesic dome is the signature accommodation — a full-scale structure positioned to capture the Front Range panorama, furnished and fitted with a private hot tub and sauna. Cabins provide additional lodging. Restrooms and showers serve the property, with a general store and snack bar on site and a bar for evenings. This is glamping that takes the experience seriously rather than pitching a tent with a bed in it, and the inventory is small — book well ahead. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, with birding across the mountain terrain and mountains rising in every direction. The property stays open year-round, which makes winter stays genuinely viable at this elevation. Black Hawk sits below in the historic casino district, which gives the property an unusual dual character: the gaming and dining of the district a short drive down, and high-country wilderness immediately above. Few Colorado lodging options put both within the same short radius. The Nest serves guests year-round. Summer mountain access and fall color drive the heaviest demand, with winter drawing guests specifically for the dome-and-hot-tub experience under snow. Given the single dome and limited cabins, reserve as far ahead as you can for any weekend.

The riverfront back-ins are the ones to request. No wristbands are required for any amenity, which is worth knowing if you've stayed at resorts that charge for them. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a snack bar, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, a clubhouse, a recreation center, and recycling cover the rest. Pets are welcome. A beach, a pond, a lake, walking trails, horseshoes, and a playground fill the forested grounds, with fishing, kayaking, and hiking on the Dolores. Wine tasting and a state park are nearby. Dolores sits at 18680 Colorado Highway 145, three miles from town on the road toward Telluride, with Mesa Verde 50 miles east. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Premium riverfront sites book first.
