"The work the owner is doing here by rescuing horses, donkeys, and goats is so important. Anything we can do to help her cause, we should absolutely."
"Right on the edge of the Canyon, watching the Arizona sunrises every morning. It was truly heaven on earth."
"I can def see where in rain or snow you'd need 4WD and a little offroading capability. We arrived around 4 pm and all but the spots along the rim were gone."
"We loved the forest feel and the trail riding as we typically come with ATVs. There is a gas station 5 minutes from the site"
"Short driving distance to Buckskin Canyon.
No problem with our Verizon phones.""There were a lot of spots available, just need to continue driving back"

"The campground is surrounded by public lands in every direction with views of incredible rock formations and the breath-taking Southern Utah landscape."
"You can do some hiking from the campground (including climbing one of the buttes) and you can drive into the valley if your car is capable, but we did not try any of that"
RangerMost amazing experience we’ve ever had tent camping. Right on the edge of the Canyon, watching the Arizona sunrises every morning. It was truly heaven on earth.
LegendIt feels almost like a hidden secret that I shouldn't divulge, but the lovely owners of this special little spot deserve to have a light shown on their little slice of heaven in Southern Utah.
In an area rich with outdoor tourist attractions (Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon all within 90 minutes), it's hard to find a campsite that doesn't feel like a shoulder-to-shoulder Disney experience. Ethel's Hideout is laid out such that you never feel like you're crowded in by neighbors. This is a true cowboy camping experience in cowboy country.
The campground is surrounded by public lands in every direction with views of incredible rock formations and the breath-taking Southern Utah landscape. If you're lucky, you can watch the cowboys moving cattle across the range. We got lucky enough to see this during our stay.
There's no shortage of things to do nearby. Just ask the owners for some tips on where to go to find an adventure! As an insider tip, I found the nearby reservoir in Kanab to be the perfect spot for a morning jaunt.
While they do offer horse stalls for travelers with horses, the campground is set-up for RVs and tents to maximize views and strikes the perfect balance of amenities with a boondocking-style experience. If you're looking for concrete pads and lines of RVs, this isn't the spot for you. But if you're hoping to find a truly special camping experience coupled with some light amenities, give Ethel's a visit. We love it here.
TravelerWe ventured up the mountain for a single night of camping on son's Senior road trip. We made it up pretty easily in a 2019 Ford Expedition. The road was pretty bumpy in areas. I can def see where in rain or snow you'd need 4WD and a little offroading capability. We arrived around 4 pm and all but the spots along the rim were gone. We got the last spot on opposite side of road which was fine for our needs. So if you want the step out tent/van view, get there early. We camped there in mid June and it was still 39 that night with a nice breeze. Stunning sunset and sunrise. Super friendly fellow campers. Everyone just mingled and chatted and then all settled in for the evening. Few people came in close to sunset but peak was full. There are many disperse spots down the mountain so dont freak out if get to top and full...wont have to drive ALL the way back down. One way trip up took us about 45 mins.

We booked a private guided horseback ride with the ranch and stayed here in our trailer for five days. Our stay was incredible: quiet, peaceful, and amidst the backdrop of beautiful Utah BLM land. Our guided 2-hour ride in the nearby slot canyon was fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend riding with the amazing team at the ranch.
We had 30 amp electric and water hookups, though some sites are just electric. The dump site may or may not be in service, ask before booking.
The restrooms and showers onsite are immaculate. Very clean, new, and well designed.
*Again, this is a private ranch first, not an RV campground. Stays here require a reservation. The owner dislikes people just driving onto the property. Call ahead.
GuideWe were traveling through and needed a place for the night. We pulled up to a spot where we could use the bunkhouse porch. The views from this ranch are amazing. The bathhouse was really cool—very creative. In fact, everything about this place is creative.
The work the owner is doing here by rescuing horses, donkeys, and goats is so important. Anything we can do to help her cause, we should absolutely.
TravelerIt was late November when I drove out here. If google maps wants you to go anyway besides the main road 67 to the turn off DON’T do it. The road seasonal can close and even though it was open Google put my 4WD to the test. 3 hours and 30 miles of horse trails and snow banks still did not reduce the beauty of this site. It started snowing soon after I arrived so I didn’t stay long though hikers I met said there was good camping from a trail that goes down into the Grand Canyon from here.
GuideOne of the most unforgettable campsites ever. Stunning views of the Grand Canyon as you camp just feet away from the edge. Dirt road was easy (2W will have zero issues), fires were not allowed for us but there are fire pits, and tons of space between campsites. Gets a little windy at night but no bugs. If you are staying near the North Rim, you would be a fool not to camp here. Big love
RangerLong drive over some rough gravel road, but what a view at the end. Big enough site for shorter off-road trailer. No toilets. Pack-in, pack-out.
Trailhead at the end of the road. Great for tent camping, car camping, campervans, short trailer.
30 degree difference in temperatures hi-lo.
Wonderful sunset.
GuideI went here in December and it was super quiet. I saw one other couple camping here. Cell signal on VZ is poor but manageable if that's a concern. A vehicle with ground clearance is definitely needed since you will drive here via forest roads. Awesome views and away from the tourists.
