About this property

Entire place

Base Camp / Bonanza

This property is strictly for the person who loves outdoor adventure...No shopping malls here! No clubs, no putt putt golf. Be sure to buy your groceries before you get here. The only open business in town is the Exxon/7-11 station a mile up the road by the Interstate . I love it!

hidden secret

This is a great park. spread out with many options, tent cabins rv access. Our double wide is a home. Air conditioning is great. so comfortable. But wait! turn right out of Park and if no rain I mean NO Rain. the drive into Thompson and for sure Sego canyon was the smoothest canyon roads you can find.

Clean and comfortable

Like other reviews mentioned, this place is around a 30-40 minute drive to Moab but well worth it if you want a relaxing, quiet, spacious place to have as a home base. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. Very clean with an awesome front porch to hang out on after a long day exploring. We definitely would stay here again if we come back.

Great place for price

My family stayed for 4 nights while we explored Arches and Canyonlands NP and Moab. It was a bit of a drive, but we prefer to be out away from the bustle of people. Plenty of room for everyone and very clean. Comfortable beds and cold air conditioning (it was HOT). We highly recommend this rental.

Great place

We had a great time at Bonanza house. We missed the fact that it is an RV park. We selected it for the secluded location. However, it was very quiet and we didn't meet more than 3-4 people. The owners are very kind and gave us great advice and suggestions regarding the less popular but beautiful areas we can go to.

We always enjoy staying at Ballard RV Park

It's our home base for our annual mountain biking trips to Moab, and this time we even rode Fruita one day. This was our first time at the Bonanza House (we usually stay at the Nutter House), which was great. The house is clean, kitchen is well stocked, grill is great. The only thing missing is a table on the covered patio. We will be back again next year!

More than expected

House was much roomier than expected. Although listing indicated 3 bedrooms the rooms were much larger than expected. Ditto with the two bathrooms. House was well maintained and clean. Great stay!

Retired hikers

When we arrived the house was ready and very clean. We used it as a base for 5 days of hiking/ biking in Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Moab. It was convenient and very quiet. I would recommend the property to any group of 6 or fewer.

Return to Moab

Very happy with the accommodations. The facility met my comfort needs very well. There was plenty of parking for my pickup truck and trailer next to the house. As far as the Thompson Springs location, I was visiting both the Moab area (30 miles south) as well as the San Rafael Swell area (an hour south-west) and Thompson Springs was a very good location for both. Except for an occasional train passing through town, there is basically no traffic there at the Ballard RV Park and it is very quiet and peaceful, away from Moab's congestion.

Best Lodging on 12 Day Trip

Just completed a 12 day trip thru CO, AZ, and UT. This lodging was the best of all 7 stops! Nothing super fancy, but exactly what we needed. Very clean! Had everything you needed...and not a bunch of junk you didn't. My wife and i stayed there in our RV in 2022. So now we can recommend their RV park as well as Bonanza cabin. We tried to add additional night, but they were booked solid! That's what happens when you run a class business!

Great value

We stayed two nights to visit Arches NP and the surrounding area. While you have a little bit of a drive to Moab, you're not going to find 3br/2ba, plus a full kitchen and washer/dryer for anywhere near the price closer to town. Plus, there are number of interesting things to see close by, including the petroglyphs and ghost town, and if you have a capable vehicle, you can see some beautiful countryside without running into another soul (bring water and food in case of a breakdown). The property itself is a nice-sized house with a large living area. It is located within a campground, but it's clean and quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Good Location with nice views

The property was nice and spacious. The location was very easy to get to and there are some great attractions that are local. There were some minor repair issues in the master bathroom. The shower doesn't turn off unless you position the knobs just right, not in the off position. The photo shows a small house set off by itself. In reality, you are at the back of an RV park with a lot of neighbors. Noise is a bit of an issue if you are a light sleeper. The trash bins for the RV park are set right next to the house so you may hear those at any hour. The train does come through at all hours and is nearby. The master bedroom there was a continuous dripping right outside that is annoying. The heating system is also very loud and can wake you up when it comes on. The listing says TV and internet. The internet is very slow. Working online at night was difficult with the connection issues. The TV finally got 11 channels on our last day there. It did not pick up any channels the previous two days and kept asking to scan for channels. Overall, the unit was clean and reasonably well-kept. Reasonable value for the stay.

Everything You Need and Great Location!

We had a great time at this property. Perfectly situated outside of Moab so as not to be caught up in the hustle and bustle but close enough to make it a convenience getting to attractions. Also a peacefully and quiet area with nice trails and local history to soak in. Very pleased with our stay.
