Where does everyone stay?

[RedHeep]

Looking at a ton of places on websites to make potential reservations.

Where does the group hang out? Are all the hotels located so that if you stay at one and a bunch of people are at another it's still relatively convienent?

What about trail access?

This will likely be my only trip to Moab until I retire in 10 years and I've never been.

[Goatman]

Trail access is simple, and we'll have organized runs every day. The trails are all relatively close to town, in all directions.

We will headquarter at Slickrock Campground, where we go every year. It's showing it's age somewhat facility wise, but the trees are huge and there are ton's of them. Some folks will stay at other campgrounds/RV parks because some are nicer, but none are large enough for our group or will tolerate our noise, and Slickrock has plenty of room to group together visiting.

As far as motels, you'll just have to choose one, or see where others are staying. You might look up a map of Moab to see the layout, and see what's close. The RV parks are generally on the north end of town, so you could get a motel in that area to be close for hanging out.

[Goatman]

BTW, the plans are still coming together, it is almost a year away. You folks are bringing up questions early this time............nice! :)

[Vince]

The new owner of the Moab Inca Inn (Markus Heimgartner) is a Swiss Jeeper. He and his family are moving to Moab in the new year and he said that he would work out a deal for us once he has settled in. He only has 22 rooms but doesn't mind his parking lot being used for repairs presumably as long as all the guests are NAXJA. I will see him again in December before he moves and will discuss it further.

[RNMedic]

Okay I'm in for the INN hope to be my first trip and probably bringing a couple of grandkids. John

Is a good site to help you with hotel or camping decisions. Pretty much all of Moab is listed there.

[djblade311]

I plan on staying at Slickrock the next time around. I doubt the wife n kid will come. The recent Moab FF, we rented a brand spankin new townhome which was nice and was barely a few dollars more per night than the Bowen motel. Unfortunately it was about 5 miles south of town but fortunately, it was close to the SteelBender roundup. :)

That's where I was looking, but had no idea about the good/bad associated with any of those places.

Now that I know where the campground is, I can plan accordingly. My wife has made it very clear that we won't be camping.

She's letting me drive 33 hours across the country to go wheeling, so she gets what she wants.

Well if the place Vince doesn't work out I can tell you that all the big name brand hotels are ok in town...if you got the money. Most of them are on the plus side of 100 a night now.

[RedHeep]

Most of them are right around 60 or 70 a night with the government rate.

At the very least, we'll end up in one of Slickrock's cabins, 10% off gets me to $36 a night.

Haha...now you are getting somewhere.

Cabins at Slickrock are NOT reccomended. Try Moab Rim camp park or some others.

Unless you like wiping the lice off the bed before you climb in.

[rightseatsis]

If you want a motel close to Slickrock camp, the Holiday Inn Express and the Arches Inn are the closest. I have stayed at both. The Holiday Inn was the nicer of the two but both were comfortable.

See you there.

The trick is to have the lice on ya before you get there that way the new ones will have company and won,t bother ya,I also raise the alcohol content of my body the first day I am there and it makes them unhappy........SANTA,cabin #4 again Slickrock Campground 2008

But I'm pretty excited that she's going to be able to come with me...

[XJumpmaster]

the Riverside Inn is a good place to stay! They allow pets, reasonably priced, close to Slickrock RV. MIL stays there whenever in Moab and she is picky about where she stays.

I like Slickrock better than Canyonlands Campground for our Fling. More space between campsights, more parking room, more party room, no grills at Canyonlands and fewer firepits.

Me too. but since I don't I'm staying in $265 per night, 3 bedroom, 2ba, 2 car garage luxury condo next to the community center and pool. The luxury of the condo is because the wife is coming, and maybe my Dad also. If it was just Mary (RightSeatSis) and myself we would stay at the campground.

I've done all three, Slickrock in RV, bestwestern and Condo. Slickrock is convient, best western nice, condo's pool keeps the bride happy. She won't trail ride.

C-Ya there.

[IllianaXJ]

We are probably going to have to either go with a nice cabin or a cheaper motel. If it was just me, I'd tent camp, but since the wife is coming, she wants a decent bed and climate control :D

That being said, either Slickrock cabins or whatever Expedia finds for cheap.

I should have put a smiley there I guess.

I like Slickrock for a campground but after seeing some other cabins around town, their cabins leave a lot to be desired.

I most likely will be staying at Slickrock in my camper though. I like the shade trees

[Jes]

They're nice, except when the cotton is falling. :flame:

when we were there in May 06, our cabin was almost burned down when we were on the trail because our drunk neighbors lit a huge "drift" of it on fire amd it went crazy... i guess the fire dept showed up and everything. next time i go in the spring i'm going a little later so we dont have to deal with that crap.

Just do what I'm probably going to have to do- sleep in the Jeep!
I won't know for sure if I'm going until June or so. By then the Jeep is going to be the only place left.

[Kejtar]

if you make a reservation it's usually not that expensive to cancel (IIRC Slickrock charges $5 if you do it a week ahead of time). Also you can often pass on your reservation to someone else.

[Jeff 98XJ WI]

Lets say I was going to tow a small pop up camper out (behind my car trailer with the wheeling rig on it), can someone refresh my memory about sites at Slickrock? I was there once back in '99 I believe and was none too impressed with the little tent sites with the little shade cover right next to each other. I can't remember what the other sites were like but I know my pop up wouldn't fit under the little tent awning. :) If I'm going to pay $20 plus per night, I certainly would like a scenic spot with plenty of room. Any suggestions? I'm actually considering one of the public campgrounds in the area, but I don't think anything is very close to the headquarters at Slickrock. I'm open to suggestions. Also, what can one expect for weather at this time of the year? I don't handle HEAT all that well. :) Jeff

[justme]

I've always stayed at Canyonlands RV Park. I love all the shade and the central location to everything. Also, we've never had to lock anything up and worry about security.
But last fall they really butchered their trees, so I'm not sure about the shade now.
I was impressed by that first campground after you cross the river entering into Moab from the North. I wrote down the name but lost it. My senility won't let me recall. Does anybody know the name of that one? It has GREAT shade and the campground is relatively new.

The RV park you are referring to is the Riverside Oasis Campground. It is very clean. It also has cabins that looked pretty nice and an apartment that you can rent. I stayed there about a year ago and it was so much nicer then Slickrock.

The Holiday Inn Express is right next door to the campground. $102 a night and up. We stayed last year and it was great. free breakfast. If you travel for work you can accumulate points thru them and stay free. If you work the points right it takes about 5 or 6 nights for enough points for a free night. It's nice to have a cleaned up room after the days activitys. Get points eaisy right here:http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/pc/1/en/home

We have been at the Super 8 a lot, it's cheap and clean. We would probably be staying there again if I hadn't met the owner of the Inca Inn over here in Switzerland.

As my wife is a corporate VP and travels on business a lot, I get to stay in some really nice hotels now and then. If you have ever seen the movie American Were Wolf in London and can remember what the 'Slaughtered Lamb' pub looked like, we have stayed overnight in lots of places like that on wheeling trips.

I know. I just thought it was funny that you picked up on that as most of my friends in Europe know that I can fall asleep just about anywhere and I'm not that fussy where anywhere is.

I did recently pass up sleeping underneath Rachel's Wrangler at a truck stop in Belgium. Instead, I slept for two hours on the luggage, Jeep parts and recovery kit in the back. In hindsight, sleeping underneath the Jeep would have been more comfortable even though it was raining. Definitely going to take an airbed with me next time I drive it from England to Switzerland. I don't like sleeping on cold wet ground.

http://www.packcreekcampground.com/pricing.html

"Effective until US troops come home, all active military and their immediate families may stay at Pack Creek Campground at no charge. You're paying your cost of admission by serving! A unit patch would be appreciated"

They are a little bit away from Slick Rock but it could be worth it for some. I have not talked them about a place to park a trailer for your rig so do not know if they have anything. I was hoping to check it out last Friday but I was with TRNDRVR and Remi in a trip that has been talked about in the Intermountain Chapter. A four hour trip that eneded up being 10 hours. Still had a great time even though I was riding bitch.

[DrMoab]

Who cares if its a little ways away...thats a heck of a good deal!

And good for them for being so generous. Maybe it will bring some paying business their way too.

[cj matt]

I just talked to them to see if they would have a spot for my trailer and was told yes. It would be cool if his support for the military brought him some other business.

You all may see me down there as a guest. I can't seem to get away from you XJ guys. It doesn't help that my neighbor is TRNDRVR. He won't be going though. We are doing the Rubicon right before then.

[cj matt]

He has to save his last couple of days off for Johnson Valley in November. I am trying to get leave for the Rubicon in September, come back for one week and go to Moab then go to JV in November. It will be tough but with a totally redone rig (still in shop) I should be ready for it.

I've got reservations at Slickrock, Wed thru Sat. Tent site for 3 nights, cabin for 1 night. This is my 1st trip to Moab. After reading this thread, I'm thinking about getting something a little more "comfortable" then sleeping in the heap and putting all my gear in the tent.

[Woodstock]

I got my reservation confirmation too.

"..large tent site (116) ..".

As I see it's near to you Kejtar. I hope this is a good place.

[Mike in NJ]

"..large tent site (116) ..". I hope this is a good place.

You've got a great spot. Stayed there on all of my trips to FallFest (and if I was camping on this trip I would have snagged it again months ago). Back in the corner, plenty of room since there's no site to your south. Under the trees keeps things from getting too hot during the day. Close to the never ending circus in front of the cabins, but just far enough back to get some rest when you need it.

It served as the official HQ for the North Atlantic Chapter on those trips so it's good to see it occupied by a resident of Europe (which we've always considered to be unofficially a part of NAC! :D)

Enjoy!

Close to the never ending circus in front of the cabins, but just far enough back to get some rest when you need it.

It served as the official HQ for the North Atlantic Chapter on those trips so it's good to see it occupied by a resident of Europe (which we've always considered to be unofficially a part of NAC! :D)

Enjoy!

Puhh ..... As I wasn't there I didn't knew it ..... But it's good to hear that I catched a good place :rof:

my cabin is right smack in the middle of it too. :angel:
what is the legality of beer kegs in Utah? my buddy thats coming with me is an assistant brewmaster at our local joint.. :viking:

looks like i'm driving 2500 miles to get drunk...

[cj matt]

I am pretty sure that beer kegs are not legal here in Utah. They have not legalized adulthood yet. I would bring it anyway just keep it in the cabin. You would be taking advice from someone that bootlegs beer into the state because the beer here sucks.

i always bring some "special" east coast brew for TRNDRVR when i come out. maybe a keg is a bit daring.. we'll see :shhh:

[cj matt]

I am not sure if TRNDRVR will be coming. If it is bottled though I could take it to him. He is my neighbor.

[IslanderOffRoad]

How much good beer can I bring in before being considered a smuggler and facing huge fines?

[cj matt]

Not sure on how much. I have brought in more then 10 cases at a time but never got pulled over. I can atleast get some ok beer on base to so that helps to keep me sane.

Remember that this is an open forum.

which is why i'm asking what the legal limit is.

[cj matt]

Remember that this is an open forum.

I realize that this is an open forum. I also realize that Utah liquor laws are ridiculous. I admit to being a horrible person and brewing my own beer and yes even boot legging in the year 2008.

Now here is a good answer to IslandOffRoad’s question. From the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control:

"MAY I BRING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES INTO UTAH ?
No. Under Utah law "alcoholic beverages" include all hard liquor, spirits, wine and beer. Beer and other malt beverage products that exceed 3.2% alcohol by weight or 4.0% by volume are considered "liquor", and beer with an alcohol content of 3.2% or less is defined as "beer".

Utah is a control state, and only the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC) may lawfully have liquor products imported and shipped into Utah. Private individuals may not lawfully import or transport them into the state. Manufacturers and suppliers of these products may only supply them to the DABC. Only the DABC through its state liquor stores, package agencies, licensees and permittees may sell liquor products in Utah. Possession of liquor products not purchased from the DABC is strictly prohibited. Also, licensed restaurants and private clubs cannot allow patrons to bring wines onto the premises if they were not purchased in Utah. Other Utah laws prohibit the unlawful importation of beer products into Utah.

There are very few exceptions to these laws. A person coming from a foreign country who clears U.S. customs in Utah may possess, for personal consumption, two liter bottles of liquor purchased outside of Utah. Also, a person who moves his permanent residence to Utah or maintains separate residences both in and out of Utah, may possess for personal consumption, and not for sale or resale, liquor purchased outside of Utah. However, the person must first obtain DABC approval prior to moving to Utah; and upon the arrival of the product, the DABC will affix the Utah label to the liquor for an administrative handling fee. A person may not obtain approval from the DABC under this exception more than once. A person may possess for personal consumption, and not for sale or resale, liquor inherited as part of an estate that is located outside the state and brought it into Utah, after obtaining the approval from the DABC and paying the required administrative handling fee.
Finally, accredited foreign diplomatic missions that establish a mission presence in Utah may ship, possess and purchase alcoholic beverages under certain exceptions granted under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations. For more information, click here.

Unless one of these exceptions applies, it is clear you may not bring alcoholic beverages into Utah for any purpose whether it be for personal consumption, to serve at your hospitality house or at a private social function, or to give or sell to others."


That is not the answer you wanted I am sure because it does not allow any beer to be brought in. I have served my country for close to 20 years and if the worse thing I do is bring in beer that is over 3.2% for my own consumption I am doing better then most.

At least the cotton will be gone and no one will be stupid enough to try and light it on fire again.

I can just see the cops and fireguys showing up again only to find another cabin on fire chuck full of out of state beer kegs.

did that happen to anyone else besides me? my camp chair still has some crispy spots.. if we had a keg we could put it out before it got out of hand.. but that would be a waste of beer. :cry:

[EricsXJ]

I've got a room at the Riverside Inn but may change it later depending on if the family does not come along.

[CharlesS]

drunks? what drunks? I don't think I have seen a single drunk person while there :D


Remi,

You dont see any drunks while you are there because you generally remain too drunk to see..... As in Blind Staggering Drunk !!! :D

[CharlesS]

Made reservations at the Apache Motel in downtown Moab.
See you there on the 4th....

[FordGuy]

We are staying at the Adventure Inn. Can't wait!
