Everything You Need and Great Location!

We had a great time at this property. Perfectly situated outside of Moab so as not to be caught up in the hustle and bustle but close enough to make it a convenience getting to attractions. Also a peacefully and quiet area with nice trails and local history to soak in. Very pleased with our stay.

This is a great park. spread out with many options, tent cabins rv access. Our double wide is a home. Air conditioning is great. so comfortable. But wait! turn right out of Park and if no rain I mean NO Rain. the drive into Thompson and for sure Sego canyon was the smoothest canyon roads you can find.

Good Location with nice views

The property was nice and spacious. The location was very easy to get to and there are some great attractions that are local. There were some minor repair issues in the master bathroom. The shower doesn't turn off unless you position the knobs just right, not in the off position. The photo shows a small house set off by itself. In reality, you are at the back of an RV park with a lot of neighbors. Noise is a bit of an issue if you are a light sleeper. The trash bins for the RV park are set right next to the house so you may hear those at any hour. The train does come through at all hours and is nearby. The master bedroom there was a continuous dripping right outside that is annoying. The heating system is also very loud and can wake you up when it comes on. The listing says TV and internet. The internet is very slow. Working online at night was difficult with the connection issues. The TV finally got 11 channels on our last day there. It did not pick up any channels the previous two days and kept asking to scan for channels. Overall, the unit was clean and reasonably well-kept. Reasonable value for the stay.

Best Lodging on 12 Day Trip

Just completed a 12 day trip thru CO, AZ, and UT. This lodging was the best of all 7 stops! Nothing super fancy, but exactly what we needed. Very clean! Had everything you needed...and not a bunch of junk you didn't. My wife and i stayed there in our RV in 2022. So now we can recommend their RV park as well as Bonanza cabin. We tried to add additional night, but they were booked solid! That's what happens when you run a class business!

Return to Moab

Very happy with the accommodations. The facility met my comfort needs very well. There was plenty of parking for my pickup truck and trailer next to the house. As far as the Thompson Springs location, I was visiting both the Moab area (30 miles south) as well as the San Rafael Swell area (an hour south-west) and Thompson Springs was a very good location for both. Except for an occasional train passing through town, there is basically no traffic there at the Ballard RV Park and it is very quiet and peaceful, away from Moab's congestion.

Clean and comfortable

Like other reviews mentioned, this place is around a 30-40 minute drive to Moab but well worth it if you want a relaxing, quiet, spacious place to have as a home base. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. Very clean with an awesome front porch to hang out on after a long day exploring. We definitely would stay here again if we come back.

Short distance to Arches

This property had easy access off the highway. A very nice surprise inside. Comfortable. Make sure to bring all the supplies and food you need/ want. Only store around is the gas station. Trains do go by the house, so occasionally you will hear them. Explored the area behind the house, saw some interesting sites.

A great place to stop when visiting the area. After our 15 hour+ drive and visiting the arches, this was just what we needed. Would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Walt Williams

I have been to all the 50 states and have concluded that this part of Utah is among the most scenic and interesting places. I love outdoor adventure and wild life

Why they chose this property

I chose this location because basically you have the whole place to your self ! This is the cheapest place to stay , but the irony is it just happens to be the best place to stay if you like wilderness and wide open spaces and clean air. Those who like rush hour and dog eat dog will feel out of place here.

What makes this property unique

The most unique feature of this property is the ease of access to thousands of miles of atv trails and sight seeing
The first impression of this ghost town may not be that great, but there is a lot to do and see in the immediate area.
