Specifically for the Moab area, we recommend getting a 3-season sleeping bag for the greater part of the year. Even in summer, though the sun may blaze down on you during the day, nights will get deceivingly cold. Check the weather forecast prior to heading out. If temperatures fall to below 50°F, opt for a warmer sleeping bag or consider investing in a sleeping bag liner. In winter and the shoulder seasons, if temperatures fall below 30°F, rent a winter sleeping bag. All of our rental sleeping pads are insulated for all season use.

Practical information for camping near Moab
First and foremost, check out our page about things to do and places to stay near Moab. Aside from that, here are a few more important things to know when staying overnight around Moab:
Moab is the gateway to all things outdoors. The town is popular with outdoor enthusiasts, and at times can feel crowded. This is the only town for miles, it has all the amenities of a small city, and it's very close to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Everybody goes here, and for good reason!
You've got LOTS of campground options, but the best and most popular are primitive first-come first-serve campsites along the Colorado River. Get there early to get a spot.
There is no water in the campgrounds outside of the town boundaries, so you should fill up a water jug in town. Make sure you have at least 4 liters of water per person per day.
The entrance to Arches National Park is only a few miles from the town of Moab, and Canyonlands is only a few scenic miles after that.
The weather always surprises. During most of the year, excluding summer, prepare for a much colder night than you think. Being a true desert environment, day and nighttime temperatures vary dramatically. Of course, June, July, and August could get unbearably hot - you might want to consider setting up camp by the Colorado River outside of the park.
Moab is far from international airports! It's 4 hours from Salt Lake City and nearly 6 hours from Denver. But the most convenient international airport to Moab is Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Though it takes about 7 hours to drive there, most people make a multi-day road trip out of it and stop at Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef National Parks before reaching Moab.
