Old West Rv

We stayed in this RV park for 3 nights in September. We chose this park since it is very convenient to Moab (an hour away) plus Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The local golf course is only a couple of blocks south of the RV park. The park host was very friendly and very accommodating to our needs. The RV park is fine for a few days, but do not think we would stay again in the future. He does have laundry access ($1.00 per load) plus shower and restroom facilities. Our spot was a pull through with full hookups (no cable TV). We did have a good selection of over the air channels. The sewer connection was a bit odd since the hookup was higher than the camper (we ended up emptying the tanks before we left the park before unhooking). We spent most days sightseeing so it was fine for staying overnight. My husband did not like the shower set up since it was in a separate room than the toilet/sink area. The local visitors center is next door so it is handy for picking up brochures, etc. The park does have free Wifi which worked most of the time. We did have one night during our stay where it would not work, but the park was full so that may have been the cause.

We don't usually pay for RV parks and prefer to boondock, but we got stuck in a snowstorm on our way to Moab and pulled over in the city of Monticello to find somewhere to park. This park was the cheapest and he offered a $30 cash price ($33 regular). He had electric for us which was nice considering the 13 degree low last night. He isn't typically open in the winter but keeps the electric on for those of us brave souls who may want to stay. Friendly guy, location is right off the highway, big spots for any size rig. Great cell service and he has fast Wi-Fi too.

Stayed here Apr. 17
We stayed here because we couldn't get a spot in Moab (Mar/Apr & Sept/Oct are the busy times) and it turned out to be a great pick. We used it as a base to explore Canyonlands - Needles Division. The park is very small but has 3 or 4 pull through sites that could accommodate larger rigs. We didn't use the washrooms because we had full hookups. The sewer connection is a bit higher than the spot so the water has to go uphill, kind of strange but we made it work. The owner is very nice and friendly and even gave us a complimentary DVD showing his shooting skills... really fun and really "old west".

The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The restroom and shower room was clean. I washed a load of clothes and got a free CD of the owner demonstrating his shooting skills. He was knowledgeable of the area and recommended a breakfast spot. We had a nice conversation. I would definitely stay again. Cabin was clean and had everything needed for a good nights sleep.

A great place to plug in. Jim Brandt, owner, gifted me his exhibition shooting DVD. Close to Canyonland Needles park entrance. Clean rest rooms and hot showers. I would have no problems returning when my travels bring me back this way.

Great place, easy access, level sites and wide enough to make backing in easy. Good spot to do Blanding canyonlands and surrounding area. We drove North Creek road out of Monticello over the mountain. It goes up to 8900 feet, with awesome views. Still had snow by the road. It connects up with 211, east of newspaper rock. On 211 it's called hart's draw road. It's paved.
Back to the park, it's great.

Old West is a nice small park with atmosphere provided by its' owner, Jim Brandt. Jim is a cowboy exhibition shooter and has many YouTube videos of his trick shooting that he will share.
Monticello is a good base from which to explore the southern Utah parks and national forest.
Although Campendium lists only 30 amp service there are several 50 amp sites, some are pull through's. The only negative I saw was that in site 15 the sewer connection was as high or higher than the sewer outlet on the motor home.
Highway noise was minimal, didn't even notice it at night.

We rolled in unannounced and were greeted immediately. We had our pick of available spots and the attendant helped us back in. The crew provided us with some possible places to eat.

The owner is a exhibition gun shooter and is eager to share his experiences with you!

Full hookups for a median price. Would recommend!

Small RV park with a friendly vibe. Was able to get a spot here for 3 days despite the early fall crush. Easy from here to visit Canyonlands, Arches, Bears Ears, Hovenweep, Canyons of the Ancients and all the lovely land in between. Mesa Verde is also within reach -- just over an hour to Cortez Colorado where there are RV repair places and marijuana is legal (just saying) and then another 40 minutes to the Mesa Verde entrance. It's in town, but it's not a busy town, and you're in walking distance to several restaurants, the hardware store, the supermarket and the liquor store (just saying).

This place was great for a home base for our 25-ft trailer.

Pros:
- Great location
- Friendly
- Washer + Dryer + Showers
- Price - very cheap for this season and area at $36/night

Cons:
- Small spaces, only a couple of pull-throughs. We had to back up, to the great amusement of the regulars.
- High water pressure be sure to use a regulator (for sale at $15 at the front desk)

Great overnight stop on our way to Colorado! Did have to back in but easy plenty of room. Great Host even had great pizza delivered.
