RV Rentals Arches National Park
Arches National Park, UT, United States
How to get to Arches National Park
The park entrance sits on US-191 about 5 miles north of Moab, Utah, which is roughly a 4-hour drive from Salt Lake City and about 5.5 hours from Denver via I-70 and US-191. The park address is PO Box 907 Moab, UT 84532. RVers should note steep grades and switchbacks on the entrance road climb from the visitor center, tight parking at popular trailheads, and limited turnaround space at the end of the main road near Devils Garden. Canyonlands Regional Airport (CNY) in Moab serves small flights, while Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT) in Colorado, about 1.75 hours away, is the most common fly-and-rent option.
Best time to visit Arches National Park
Spring (April and May) and fall (late September through October) are widely regarded as the best months, with mild daytime temperatures, cool nights, and lower flash-flood risk than midsummer. Visitors may experience heavy visitation and traffic spring through fall, so early-morning or late-afternoon touring is recommended in peak season. Summer brings intense heat and monsoon thunderstorms, while winter offers quiet roads and snow-dusted red rock, though trails can be icy. Shoulder-season RV travel balances open facilities with thinner crowds at major trailheads.
Campground open; roads may briefly close for plowing after snow and trails can be icy.
Quiet shoulder season; watch for ice on shaded slickrock.
Spring crowds begin to build; campground reservations required starting this month.
Peak spring visitation; arrive early for trailhead parking.
Warm and busy; start strenuous hikes at sunrise.
Very hot; carry at least one gallon of water per person per day.
Monsoon thunderstorms and flash-flood risk; avoid washes.
Monsoon season continues; afternoon storms common.
Excellent RV touring weather; crowds ease late month.
Prime fall visitation; book Devils Garden sites well ahead.
Cool, quiet; self-contained camping preferred as night temps drop.
Campground open; expect snow, ice on trails, and short daylight.
Things to do at Arches National Park
- Delicate Arch Trail StrenuousRV parking available
Delicate Arch Trail is a roughly 3-mile round-trip hike from the Wolfe Ranch Trailhead to the park's most iconic arch. The trail climbs up a steep slickrock slope with no shade and some exposure to heights, and just before reaching Delicate Arch it follows a narrow rock ledge for about 200 yards, which is often icy in winter. Limited oversize vehicle parking is available across the street from the main lot. nps.gov/places/wolfe-ranch-trailhead.htm
- Devils Garden Trail StrenuousRV parking available
Devils Garden Trail is the longest maintained hike in the park, reaching Landscape Arch, Double O Arch, and Dark Angel. The full Devils Garden Trail includes Landscape Arch, Double O Arch, Dark Angel, and the primitive trail, and this challenging hike involves narrow ledges, steep exposures, uneven surfaces, rock scrambling, and few trail markers. The trailhead at the north end of the park has bus and RV parking, vault toilets, and drinking water. nps.gov/places/devils-garden-trailhead.htm
- The Windows Section EasyRV parking available
The Windows Section is a compact cluster of massive arches near the end of a short spur road off the main park road. Considered by some to be the beating heart of Arches National Park, the area contains a large concentration of arches, including North Window, Turret Arch, and Double Arch. Short, relatively flat trails make this stop ideal for a quick leg-stretch between longer hikes. nps.gov/places/the-windows-section-trailhead.htm
- Landscape Arch EasyRV parking available
Landscape Arch is a gravel-surfaced out-and-back hike from the Devils Garden Trailhead to one of the longest natural arches in the world. The 1.6-mile trail is moderately easy with some elevation gain, has a gravel surface, and allows for short side trips to Tunnel and Pine Tree arches. Start early to find parking at the busy Devils Garden lot. nps.gov/places/devils-garden-trailhead.htm
- Panorama Point EasyRV parking available
Panorama Point is a roadside viewing area with sweeping views of much of the park. Located at the top of a hill, visitors can enjoy views of the La Sal Mountains, the Fiery Furnace, and even Devils Garden from their vehicle or at viewpoints along the parking area, and it is also an excellent place to stargaze. The pullout includes auto and bus/RV parking, picnic tables, and vault toilets. nps.gov/places/panorama-point-viewing-area.htm
- Double Arch Trail EasyRV parking available
Double Arch Trail is a short, nearly level walk to a pair of enormous stone arches sharing a common end point. The relatively flat, hard-packed trail is considered barrier free. Double Arch is in The Windows Section, which contains a large concentration of arches, including North Window, Turret Arch, and Double Arch in just over two square miles. nps.gov/places/double-arch.htm
- Scenic Drive EasyRV parking available
The Arches scenic drive is the best way to sample the park if hiking time is limited or parking is tight. A common itinerary is to drive the whole park road, spending 10 minutes at each viewpoint, and take a short walk at The Windows Section, Delicate Arch Viewpoint, or Balanced Rock. The paved road is roughly 18 miles each way with numerous pullouts. nps.gov/thingstodo/enjoy-arches-from-the-road.htm
- Delicate Arch Viewpoints EasyRV parking available
The Delicate Arch Viewpoints offer two ways to see the famous arch without the strenuous Wolfe Ranch climb. The short, flat lower viewpoint trail has a level, hardened surface with a wide pathway and is accessible to wheelchairs. A moderately strenuous upper viewpoint trail climbs to a view of Delicate Arch across a canyon one mile away, though the arch itself cannot be reached from this trail. nps.gov/places/delicate-arch-viewpoints.htm

What a wonderful experience our camping trip was! The owners were always available when we had questions and the camper was clean and ready to go when we showed up. Super nice people to rent from. I would highly recommend this camper if you're looking for a nice clean camper to rent in Moab.

Absolutely loved our weekend getaway with the little clipper trailer though RV Moab. They were accommodating, communicative, and provided everything we could have needed (without cluttering the little space) for an enjoyable weekend in Utah.
