Archview RV Resort and Campground

Archview is about eight miles from the visitor centre of the Arches National Park, a vast space famed for its sandstone structures. A paved road of 36 miles leads around the park and its stone highlights, stopping off at viewpoints and hiking trails along the way. Within 11 miles is the other famed local national park, Canyonlands, home to open desert spaces and the rapid waters of the Colorado River and its tributaries. All sorts of sports are popular here, including climbing, hiking, and whitewater rafting around Cataract Canyon; if you'd prefer to drive and sightsee, take the White Rim Road from the most accessible of the park's four districts, Island in the Sky. The tale of the history, archaeology and paleontology of the region (there's quite a lot) is recounted at the Museum of Moab and at the Moab Giants Dinosaur Park half a mile away, with a prehistoric dinosaur trail to follow as well as a more recently added 5D aquarium.
