The Canyonlands folks are only reserving two campsites.
A good but inexpensive motel in Moab is the Apache Motel.

Hey Seth,
We would love to come but can't find a hotel room available in Moab. Any chance that some hotel rooms have been reserved for those bringing telescopes? If not, hope to meet up with you at another event.
I recently joins SLAS and have a 925 Edge CGEM. Have enjoyed getting to know the members.
Thank you, Kathy Terry

Canyonlands Nation Park has recently received the International Dark Sky Association's highest ranking as a "Gold-Tier International Dark Sky Park."

I'll be in Canyonlands on September 18th helping them celebrate and participating in a star party with park staff and their telescopes. We still could use a couple of other telescopes.
The star party itself will be at Grand View Point (N38.312 W109.857) within Canyonlands NP.
I've posted about this previously, but my Utah-Astronomy inbox archive somehow vanished and I don't recall who said they'd be willing to come down.
Canyonlands is offering to reserve (a very rare thing) two campsites near the star party for use by participants who come with a telescope and share the views with the public. Canyonlands staff say they're anticipating ~200 people, hence the need for more telescopes.
If you're interested, or if you've previously told me you're coming, please send me a message so I know if any folks here will be coming down and wanting one of the two reserved camp sites.
Thanks,
