There’s nothing like Base Camp; the night sky, incredible views, wildlife — all here! The river, and usually a beach, are a short walk from your door. Take one of the kayaks, or rent a side-by-side to visit Wind Caves and Chicken Corner — at less than half the cost of in-town rentals! There are unlimited hikes from the property, and many more nearby. But if you want to get away to a quiet, off-the-grid spot, that’s here too. Some folks just sit on the deck and unwind,enjoying the landscape.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

- There are no stores out here; bring your food and whatever you'd like to drink aside from water
- You can kayak by the beach, upriver, and back down, or around the island. During snow runoff, the river may be too swift to use. It doesn't happen every year, but sometimes in May to late June
- This single-story home features step-free entry

ACCESS AND VEHICLE RECOMMENDATIONS
- The road is most often mentioned in reviews, which normally end with 'it's worth it.' It is a mostly dirt road that normally doesn't require four-wheel drive, but it does need about 6 inches of ground clearance. Most SUVs, Jeeps, and trucks have that. Most sedans and vans do not. In most instances, swing wide on the corners going up and down Hurrah Pass, and if you've driven a dirt road before, you should be fine. If heights are an issue for you, there will be lots of issues up and down Hurrah Pass
- As an alternative, call Twisted Jeep in town and tell them you're coming here. They'd rather have their vehicles on this road versus some of the difficult trails in Moab, so if they can give you a good deal, they will

SIDE-BY-SIDE INFORMATION
- If you plan to use one of the side-by-sides while you’re here, there’s no reserving them in advance. The property owner has 2 six-seat side-by-sides and 8 potential rentals. They aren't available for full-day rental; a 4-hour rental costs $250. Payment is by check or cash only
- You can use the side-by-sides to go to Wind Caves and Chicken Corner, where you'll have plenty of time to explore
- The side-by-sides are not for taking to town or the other side of Hurrah Pass. They are strictly for sightseeing in the area

    Best VRBO I have ever stayed. We were there as a family in May. The pictures don’t do it justice. Everything was perfect, the host was amazing and the whole experience was flawless. House has everything you need. It’s so gorgeous and private no need to wait in line for the other parks. Book this now. I can’t wait to come back.

    Tom is a great host! The main house was clean and the view of the river was perfect. We kayaked, hiked and used the UTV for a day of exploration. Short walk to the beach along the river and it was great to hang out.

    First off, Tom is an amazing host! He is very responsive from the first minute I rented the main house all the way to checkout. Anything we needed he accommodated. The house was perfect in every way! It was so unique, beautiful, and all around perfect. Not to mention the amazing 2 disk golf courses!! It was a perfect trip and I highly recommend rented the main house if you plan on staying!

    If you want to be off the grid, this is the place! The drive was manageable and exciting, but don’t do it in a vehicle without decent ground clearance. A Tesla likely won’t be the same if you go that route. They were grading the road while we were there and it got a lot better. We did the drive to town and back every day and it did get a little tedious, so in the future I’d plan to limit trips to town and base more out of the property. That was just poor planning on my behalf. Property was excellent and very comfortable. Tom and Teresa were awesome. Kobae and Jax cracked us up. Wish we had more time to sit and visit. Next time!

    The base camp was a wonderful getaway. We were looking for a relaxing break from our day to day routine and we certainly found it. The location and property were spectacular. Hiking from the property was great and renting a side by side was the way to go. There were amazing views in every direction. Tom was always a phone call away and created a true canyon experience including even nightly wildlife sightings. Our entire family enjoyed our stay (Myself, Husband & 4 boys 9 - 16). One note regarding the drive to the house that others have mentioned. If you are not experienced in canyon, or rock/cliff driving and have a fear of heights you may need assistance reaching the house. It is a much easier drive to reach the house in a side-by-side, than with a regular sized vehicle.

    Perfect location for those who like to do some ‘off road’ driving. If you’re not a fan of heights and maneuvering over a few rough spots and turns, this might not be the place for you. The main house has beautiful porches and views! The house has all necessary basics. We stayed in April and it was chilly a few mornings, so we made use of the fireplace and generous stack of wood. It was a bit windy and dusty when we were there. The only change I’d make would be choosing the other 2 bedroom place for less wind. Lots of room to explore on foot or ATVs. And saw several groups of people playing the amazing frisbee golf course!

    Our family of four (two kids - 8 and 6) stayed here for two nights at the end of our weeklong tour of the Big Five. We could not have asked for a more incredible experience. The property is unlike anywhere we've ever lodged (in the best way possible) and we stayed busy with an ATV ride to Chicken Corners and the Wind Caves, a dip in the Colorado, and endless stargazing! Colin (and Ranger) were fantastic guides and the giant tortoise was icing on the cake. The drive in is a bit harrowing for novices like us but completely doable. Don't let it deter you from an unforgettable experience. We may never be able top Spring Break 2022!

    Getting there is half the fun. Don't be intimidated by the drive, BUT, have a high wheel base makes it easier. Thanks to Tom for always being a great host. Ted

    Our family of four including 2 teens enjoyed our stay at the Last Hurrah house. The 2 dogs had a blast too. Lots of mountain biking, hiking, and kayaking right outside our doorstep with amazing panoramic views. We also brought our own paddleboards. It was so fun to see all the critters (skunks, raccoons, and foxes) at the night feeding and Toms' big tortoise. As everyone mentions the road is no joke. Only attempt it during daylight with good clearance (over 5-6 inches), and if you are comfortable driving this sort of road (my husband is, but I am not). We made the rookie mistake of driving in with a low-hanging rear bike rack which got really beat up. We took it off for the drive out and stuffed the bikes in the car, this was much smoother and less daunting.
