Sun Outdoors, Canyonland Gateway
After departing from our 7 night stay in Heber City, UT, we’re bound for Moab, UT. We tried to stay at Dead Horse Point State Park, but as expected, no availability. We also discussed dry camping on BLM land – there’s plenty in the area. However, with forecast temps pushing into the 90’s each day, we opted for a 2 night stay at Sun Outdoors, Canyonland Gateway.
This park, along with 3 others in the Moab area are now under the Sun Outdoors name. Sun Outdoors is aggressively acquiring parks & resorts all over the US – their website boasts 162 locations everywhere from Colorado to South Carolina. This RV park looks relatively unchanged since our last visit several years ago, with about 70 sites, all gravel, most with full hookups. The park Wi-Fi runs along about 5Mb. It’s relatively easy to find open sky in the park and our StarLink provided 20Mb or better of streaming speeds.

After Moab we’re parked in Bayfield, CO at Outdoorsy Bayfield. This is another recent park acquisition by Outdoorsy RV Rental company who has recently become interested in not only the RV rental business but also the RV park business. So far, this RV park business appears to be fairly limited, but expected to grow. In job postings, the Outdoorsy Destination Network is expected to expand to 50 locations by 2025 and 200 locations by 2028. This small Bayfield park is set alongside Los Pinos River, with several ponds and meandering creeks through the property. There are plenty of old cottonwood trees that need trimming or removed, but overall the grounds are lush, green and beautiful.

From Bayfield, it’s a relatively short trip over Wolf Creek Pass, across the San Luis Valley and over La Veta Pass on our way home. Our next trip is in a week, when we begin our “Best of Colorado State Parks” visits. More from Cheyenne Mountain State Park where our ‘best of” begins…
