Best RV Parks & Resorts near Marble Canyon, AZ

If I had to describe Arizona camping then this would be the perfect campground description. Such a beautiful area with a pristine CG to boot.

More red than green, awesome views of the Colorado as well as easy access which I benefited from due to the float trip we came for, and wonderful people camping here in numerous different setups. Everything from vans to RVs to toy haulers and cars with tents.

Clean restrooms and some of the best in the entire state IMO, as well as water and for the big rigs there’s a dump station but my site didn’t have any other RV amenities so I’m pretty sure that’s it

Couple great hikes nearby that give even better views of the area and if you can handle the heat I’d recommend them

Fishing is per the usual in the Colorado and it wasn’t too great for my trip but probably more my fault

Marble Canyon is nearby if you need anything but it’s extremely quiet right now

It stayed pretty busy over my 2 day stay. When I pulled in on a Thursday I was able to grab 1 of 6 empty spots. By the time i left Saturday it was full constantly. As usual my cell service wasn’t very dependable

This is a great RV Park. The location is superb. The space between sites is very generous. Interior roads are very easy to navigate for big rigs. Very quiet at night. This place is designed right. Site was big enough for our 40 foot 5th wheel. The views of Lake Powell were awesome! The campground is maintained very well. Wifi is almost useless and there is no cable. Due to the location there are no TV channels with antennas. My only reason for not giving it five stars was the staff in the camp store/ registration. We have been to many campgrounds and the staff in the camp store were some of the worst we have ever dealt with. They do not greet you or smile. If you ask a question you will get an answer that is probably incorrect. They do not try to help or explain anything. We camped at Wahweap RV and Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here Feb 4-7 2021 and there were about 4-5 other campers on over a mile of beach. Our nearest neighbor was about 100 yards away. During the day on the weekend more people showed up for day use but there weren't ever more than 30 people on a HUGE stretch of beach. The beach can accommodate any size rig easily. The most important thing to remember when getting there.... SCOUT AHEAD! Either on foot or with a 4x4 so you can plan your route out to the beach. One wrong turn and you will be up to your frame in soft sand. But there are plenty of hard pack routes to get out there as long as you scout ahead. I saw a 45ft class A, I have a 35ft toy hauler, people were driving 2 wheel drive cars out there for the day. I did pull a Mini Cooper out that was stuck up to the frame and I almost got stuck with my 4x4 Ram truck. So planning is key. This is going to be one of my go to winter camping spots. I don't like camping with lots of people so Feb was perfect. Temps were high 50s during the day and lows were high 20s. Never more than a breeze and not a single bug to be found. Summer is a whole different story, I'm sure. Lake Powell is notorious for wind/sand storms in the afternoons but we didn't have any of that. The potable water fill, flush toilets, and showers were closed for the season but the vault toilets on the beach were open. The Pilot gas station that is a 3 minute drive has a dump station and potable water that worked out perfectly. I can't recommend this spot enough! YouTube video link: https://youtu.be/6hqRPstunaM

General: 51-site campground, no reservations. We arrived just before noon on a Thursday in mid-April and had our choice of sites but by early evening, the campground was full. No hookups. 

Site Quality: All sites are gravel; some are pull-through, some back-in but not all are level. Sites 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 are designated as group sites. Sites 2, 4, 6, 24, 26, and 28 have the same layout (parallel parking for vehicles and shared picnic table pavilion but are not labeled as group sites. Since you cannot make reservations, best to drive around to figure out what will work best for you. A picnic table and fire pit are at each site. Some tables are covered; ours in site 41 was not covered and while we did not need it for sun protection, we could have used it to shield us from the wind. (It was so windy that we were not able to cook/eat outside). 

Bathhouse: Two located in the campground but only the upper one was open. Basic but clean. Three stalls, two sinks and while there was soap, there was no hand dryer or paper towels, and aside from a weird red light that went on as I was leaving, there is no light at night so plan accordingly. There are no showers; showers, laundry, and other services are available at the Marble Canyon Lodge and Trading Post, about five miles away. 

Activities: Several hikes but not from the campground. Paria Beach is an easy walk downhill and there is a trail to “Secret Beach” from there but once you reach the end of the trail, you cannot (easily) access the beach. Fishing requires a license. 15 miles of smooth water is open to boaters between Lee’s Ferry and Glen Canyon Dam. 

Despite the windy conditions, this was a nice overnight for us and the price was right ($10 with senior pass/$20 without)
