Kens lake Utah
Beautiful place .. a little outside of town but that’s what we wanted .. pros and cons to both staying close to town or staying further out .. clean site ,..safe and outhouses were well kept !!
Nabbed a spot in Moab!
Thanks to Campnab we were able to get a spot in highly sought after Moab in April! This allowed us to leave later and avoid driving through the Colorado mountains in the snow with our trailer. I never knew how competitive Moab camping was and realized once we got there just how much Campnab really saved us a lot of headache and driving time. Highly recommend!
