First timer here at Cruiser Moab and planning to camp at the arena. My understanding is that the tents are in the dirt track and we can park our rigs in the center. I’m hoping I’ll be able to park near my tent as my camp kitchen is in my rig. How does the parking work in the arena?

Very much like you described. The arena is where people can get together and camp next to friends, or camp next to strangers that become new friends. For a couple of years I’ve camped with Tim and Alicia from California. We camped next to each other years ago and just kept doing it at every CM. I only see them once a year, but every time it’s great!

You should feel comfortable knowing that most people are camping and or sleeping right out of the back of their vehicle. Just find a spot and go make friends.

There is a single rail horse fence separating the dirt track from the gravel center. You just back up to the fence and have your rig on one side, tent on the other. Last year my tent was 10 feet from my rig. Lots of room for everyone.

That's exactly the confirmation of theory I was looking for. I'd seen pictures that depicted that but glad to hear it confirmed.

This is what it looks like. Tent on the soft track dirt and your vehicle backed in on the in-field side. The soft track dirt makes for a really nice flat/level surface with little to no rocks. Bring some long tent stakes since it's somewhat loose and can get windy.

The only cautionary advice (since it'll be dark) is after you've made your rounds and chatted, eaten and sipped some adult beverages remember that the rail is there and you need to go under it.....from what I've heard.

Have a great time and see you there!

We, the Travis family, will have complimentary ear plugs for neighbors affected by our snoring.
I said I was sorry!

LOL.....my neighbors last year mentioned that I tended to get a little vocal around 2 am. I just told him he needed to kiss my cheek like my wife does and I'll shut up........he declined. maybe he had some earplugs?

If you have any other Camping questions just google "CruiseMoab Camping AI" it helped me stay warm last year.

Cheers and see you there!
