The Portal is not like it once was, Bart.
Besides, I sleep where I pass out!

Oh really, what happened there?

In that case, some serious Utah back country camping would be awesome!

A pair of what, Class A motorhomes?

Despite what I said above, I think we should consider the Redstone Inn. I remember looking at it and thinking that it is sorta RRL-like in the layout, the overhang, etc. And the prices aren't bad, I just checked for the ZuZoo week and it is showing $100-105/night. Pet-friendly, too.

The Bighorn is across the street too if the Redstone fills up.

Just checked availability ...

Really? The online reservation system I checked said there were some available that week. Maybe they just recognized your voice...

[BigSwede]

The Virginian is the one I was trying to think of by the Moab Diner. Might be worth a look.

We could also look at the Lazy Lizard Hostel. They have cabins, like many of the campgrounds do, but they also have group houses that can be rented, for example the "Watermelon House" is $280/night and has 8 bedrooms.

"We are neither a fancy bed and breakfast nor an impersonal motel, just a clean comfortable, friendly environment where your group can be alone, all together in one place, and not spend a lot of money. We have provided television, and laundry facilities."

Swede, The Lazy Lizard Hostel could be an interesting solution. We could, basically, rent out the whole place if it was all available when we want to go.

Lazy Liazard DOES look interesting for sure.

Just talked to a guy called Brett there...

No bookings accepted for May 2015 UNTIL January.. SWEET ...

There is room for CAMPERS in garden area of "Water Melon House"
..and 5th wheel/Rv space too. EXCELLENT ....

Sounds like it could be awesome..with everyone ( campers/glampers/etc)..
...all in same place.

Who can check it out..in person !!

Yeah, I like it. It's nothing fancy - most of the negative reviews are from people who expected something other than was promised. I would be happy in a cabin or sharing a house.

Wonder if they are booked for May yet, their website says they don't take reservations more than 6 months in advance.

Portal went 'condo'...you can buy a concrete slab to park your Class A motorhome (hence my comment above) for like $80K (at least that's what they were going for before the Great Recession)...lotsa amenities, fancy clubhouse, pool etc. No room for scruffy wheeling types.

[nfpgasmask]

Well that sucks.
