The open camping area is a pleasant change from the kind of stuffy, overfilled hostel rooms you usually find

Description:

The Lazy Lizard International Hostel is affordable, clean, convenient, and potentially fun. Great for groups on a budget, the log cabins sleep 6, the camping area even more, and there are rooms, beds and bunks for anyone left over. Shared bathhouses, a fully equipped kitchen, a community living room and a barbecue grill all make this the perfect place to hang out with your friends, and quite possibly meet some new ones.

Description:

River Canyon Lodge is one of Moab's newest hotels. Located in Downtown Moab, it is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, nightlife and rental shops. Luxury meets affordability at this Extended Stay Inn and Suites lodging establishment.

Ridiculously convenient and cheap

Description:

This quiet, relaxed campsite features sites for both campers and RV'ers. With a dump station, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, convenience store, playground and a pool, there's not much the Canyonlands Campground and RV doesn't have.

Our Local Expert Says:

They feature their vision as well as their mission statement on their website. Trust us, they want you to have the best time possible while staying there! Dedicated, individual customer service demonstrates that they walk their talk.

Description:

This astounding resort languorously reclines beside the Colorado River, offering a retreat you won't soon forget. Their onsite River Grill Restaurant, arguably Moab's finest dining experience, spa treatments, and unwinding on your private deck while sipping a glass of wine are all deliberately intended to rejuvenate you--and they all do the job just fine. Featured activities include horseback riding (bring your own horse, or ride one of theirs), yoga, massage, guided hiking, a hot tub, fitness room, and their swimming pool by the river. Some of their rooms are dog friendly too. Want to get married here? No problem. Oh, and did we mention the tennis court? With a 160 acres to play in, you can adventure plenty just on their grounds, let alone in Moab as well as the national parks. Staying here might be a splurge for some, everyday accommodations for others. No matter how you slice it, though, Sorrel River Ranch is mighty fine piece of heaven.
