Moab has a population of 5000 people, yet it attracts 3 million visitors every year! As a busy tourist town, we highly recommend booking as far in advance as you can for things like lodging. There is a plethora of hotels, airbnbs, campsites, and even a quirky hostel. We recommend searching on AirBnB, Vrbo, and Google. Our wedding will be in Castle Valley, which is a scenic 35 minute drive from Moab, so we recommend choosing lodging in Moab where you are closer to the National Parks and amenities.

Moab has a grocery store or two, a health food coop, and tons of restaurants. You won't find big box stores here, but you can generally get everything you need.

Many visitors fly to Salt Lake City and rent a car. It is about a 4 hour drive from Moab, but it is beautiful! We recommend checking flights to Grand Junction, Colorado (1.5 hours away) and Moab Canyonlands Airport, which has a connection through Phoenix and Denver. You'll want a car here, so often it ends up being more affordable to fly to a larger airport and rent one there.

Moab is an incredible destination, with two national parks and thousands of acres of public land with breathtaking views, canyons and hikes to explore. If you can spare an extra day (or week), make this a vacation. You won't regret it, we promise!

There are a plethora of AirBnB's and VRBO's in Moab, just be sure you get one booked ahead of time as they fill up fast. They are great options for those with kids, or folks who want a kitchen and a more homey feel. When looking at the map, we suggest choosing ones that are not situated right on the 191, which is the highway that goes through town. Aside from a few exceptions, this highway can be noisy, so you'll have a nicer experience being in a neighborhood.

Moab is small but long, so some airbnbs are located south of town, so just consider that they will be a 15-20 minute drive from downtown Moab.

There are tons of campsites all around Moab. Some are by reservation, some are walk in, and some are free! The free sites are primitive and do not have toilets. The paid sites have pit toilets. Additionally, there are KOA sites and similar in Moab, with showers, toilets and power, however we recommend foregoing those amenities in exchange for being out of town under a million stars!

Some of our favorite camp sites are Big Bend Campground, Horsethief Campground, Lone Mesa Campground, and Moonflower Canyon Group Site.

Camping at our wedding! Our wedding will be in Castle Valley, about 35 minutes drive from Moab. If you want to sleep in your car or camp on the property the night of the 20th, you are welcome to!
