Wake up. Get out.
Chase the light.

Red Rock Crossing isn't a resort and it isn't a parking lot — it's a launchpad. We built it for the people who treat a campsite like a trailhead: van-lifers, overlanders, riders, climbers, and anyone chasing golden hour across the Colorado Plateau.

Level spots and honest hookups, a bike wash for the dust, a gear shop for what you forgot, and a shuttle to drop you at the trail. Fast Wi-Fi when you need the world, and a sky full of stars when you don't.

Ways to Stay

Good To Know

Before you roll in.

Seasons

Are you open year-round?

We are. Spring (March–May) and fall (September–October) are the prime riding seasons and our busiest — book those early. Summers are hot and quiet, with early-morning rides and afternoon river dips; winters are cool, clear, and wonderfully uncrowded, with the red rock dusted in occasional snow.

Getting Around

How does the trailhead shuttle work?

We run morning shuttles to the major trailheads — Slickrock, the Brand Trails, and up to the Mag 7 and Klondike systems on set days — so you can ride point-to-point or downhill instead of pedaling back up. Seats are $12; reserve the night before at the shop and we'll build your day around it.

Rigs & Sites

What size rig can you take?

Our full-hookup pull-through sites handle rigs up to 45 feet with 30/50-amp power, water, and sewer, with extra spacing for slides and awnings. Van and overland spots fit rigs up to about 24 feet with 30-amp power and water. Tell us your length when you book and we'll set you on a pad that fits.

Connectivity

Is there really fast Wi-Fi?

Yes — we know a lot of you work remotely between rides. There's real, usable bandwidth centered on the ramada and gear shop, strong enough for calls and uploads, and it reaches most of the RV loop. Out at the rim tent sites it thins out on purpose — that corner's for stars, not streaming.

Bikes

Can you wash and fix bikes here?

Absolutely — it's kind of our thing. There's a covered bike wash with a hose and brushes to blast off the Moab dust, plus a work stand with tools and a floor pump. The gear shop stocks tubes, chains, sealant, and the basics, and can point you to the full-service shops in town for anything bigger.

Dogs

Are dogs allowed?

Always — trail dogs stay free. We've got a fenced, shaded dog run so they can stretch off-leash, and they're welcome around camp on a leash. Just clean up, keep them with you (coyote and rattlesnake country), and plan a camp day for the pup when you head into the national parks.

Booking

How do I book, and what's the deposit?

Send the form or call the shop and we'll confirm what's open and hold it with a one-night deposit; the balance is due at check-in. The rim tent sites, the group loop, and spring and fall weekends book out weeks ahead, so the earlier you reach out, the better your odds of the spot you want.

Arriving & Booking

Check-In & Check-Out

Check-in is 1:00pm and check-out is 11:00am. Arriving late after a long haul? Call ahead and we'll leave your site assignment and a map at the shop — the loops are simple to find in the dark, and we'll have your spot marked. Need an early arrival or late departure? Just ask; if the site's open we'll do our best to flex it.

Reservations & Deposits

A one-night deposit holds your reservation, with the balance due at check-in. We take all major cards. Weekly stays get the seventh night free, and kids under 12 stay free.

Cancellation

Cancel seven or more days before arrival for a full refund of your deposit. Inside seven days the deposit is non-refundable but transferable once to another date the same year. Group Basecamp bookings and holiday weekends are held a little more firmly — we'll always spell it out when you book.

02

Camp Etiquette

Quiet Hours & Generators

Quiet hours run 10:00pm to 7:00am — a lot of folks here are chasing dawn light and need their sleep. Generators are fine during the day at a reasonable volume and off during quiet hours; most of our sites have power, so you won't need one long. Keep the rim tent loop especially hushed for the stargazers.

Pets

Trail dogs are welcome free of charge and love the fenced dog run. Keep them leashed around sites and the shop, clean up every time, and don't leave them alone at your site — this is coyote, rattlesnake, and big-heat country. A few breeds are restricted by our insurance; the list is at the office if you're unsure.

Vehicles & Speed

One rig or up to two tents per site, plus one vehicle — extra vehicles use the $8 rate or the overflow lot. The camp speed limit is 5 mph for the kids, the dogs, and the folks walking to the wash house in the dark. Please stay on the gravel loops and pullouts; the desert doesn't forgive tire tracks.

03

The Desert

Water, Fire & the Land

Water is precious out here — fill your tanks in town and use ours thoughtfully. Fires belong in the fire rings and only when there's no county fire ban; we post the current status daily at the shop, so check in when you arrive. Never drive or camp on undisturbed soil or biological crust, pack out everything you bring, and leave the rock and the ruins exactly as you found them.

Trails, Shuttle & Guests

Ride and hike within your limits — the desert is unforgiving of heat and dehydration, so carry more water than you think you need. Shuttle seats are first-come once reserved; be at the pickup on time so the group can roll. Day visitors should check in at the shop first.

Above all — leave your patch of desert better than you found it.
