Camping in Moab Utah?

We are going to Moab March 30th thru April 4. We have 2 kids, 6 and 7 years old. My hubby who is pretty hard core thinks that camping during that time should be fine. I am concerned that it is going to be too cold for the kids at night. He is convinced that the data on weather on the internet is a "lie" and it wont be 35 degrees at night...



Even though the kids are experienced campers/backpackers, I am concerned about them being miserable.



Has anyone camped in a tent, (not an rv) in Moab utah with small kids at this time of year?Camping in Moab Utah?
it will be chilly at night, but your kids should be fine. I've been there a little later in the year than that and it was cool, but not terrible. We camped all the time when I was little and as long as they have warm jackets and cozy sleeping bags, kids don't seem to much mind the cold. Wind is the biggest problem there that time of year so make sure you pack good windproof jackets and plenty of bandanas. I've found I needed to wear a headscarf every day and night to keep the constant wind from driving me nuts with my hair getting blown around.

See if you can get a reservation at the Canyonlands campground (a commercial campground, but a nice one) -- they not only have good bath-houses with toilets and hot showers, but have covered areas for setting up your tent, with a picnic table at each site. They also rent small cabins, which might be a good option for such young kids. There is a small shop on the premises, also a small pool and hot tubs, and it is a short walk into town.

I live in Moab Utah and the only problem with camping during that time is that is our buisiest time of year with jeep safari and all. the weather is totally fine for camping, but beware ther will be TONS of people!!!Camping in Moab Utah?
I camp out there every March and October, and it gets cold at night. Often well below freezing.



Although if you have the proper gear, it will be fine. Temps in March during the day are quite pleasant.
Yes and be very alert to the weather conditions,you can get washed away

during rainstorms or cloud bursts. Can be dangerous!
