ACT Campground

Moab


Check out the first commercial straw-bail building in the state of Utah at this roadside RV park, campground and learning center, all in one. There's a very cool community kitchen and learning center, where upon request the owners occasionally offer presentations on desert geology and botany. If only it were a little further from the road.

The 21 RV sites include electricity, water, sewer and cable TV, while the rooms share bathrooms. There are 19 tent sites and a couple Airstream trailers as well.
