Bryce Canyon Pines Campground

17 ReviewsAdd Review

Day hiking into Bryce Canyon's hoodoo formations is the main draw here, and this privately run campground along Route 12 puts campers within roughly five miles of the park entrance. The setup is utilitarian: a gas station, general store, and restaurant anchor the property, with tent sites spread across an open area and full-hookup RV spaces accommodating rigs up to 50 feet. Shade trees are present, and as one reviewer noted, they "help with sun exposure" on sunny afternoons.

Highway noise is the most consistent complaint across reviews. The campground sits directly alongside a busy road, and multiple campers mention that traffic sound carries clearly into the sites, particularly at night. The tent area relies on porta-potties rather than flush toilets, though flush facilities and showers are available at the main store building. Bathroom cleanliness has drawn mixed feedback, with some visitors finding conditions acceptable and others less satisfied.

The store is genuinely useful. Firewood, last-minute supplies, and showers are all available on-site, and Linda G. summarized the practical appeal as "clean, had showers and a store to buy last minute things." Cell coverage appears reliable at the sites, though WiFi only reaches the store and laundry area. The restaurant has received positive mentions from recent visitors. For campers who want dispersed alternatives nearby, Forest Rd 294 Dispersed - Dixie National Forest sits about a mile to the northwest, and Dixie NF Dispersed near Bryce Canyon City is another option in the same corridor.

April visits can mean snow on the ground, so early-season campers should pack for cold temperatures. The campground operates April through October, reservations are available, and pets are permitted. Booking ahead during summer months is advisable given the site's proximity to one of Utah's most visited parks.

Visitors often highlighted clean facilities, friendly staff, and proximity to Bryce Canyon as key strengths. Highway noise remains the most common complaint, though amenities like showers and an on-site store add convenience for park visitors.

fine....

Decent little rv park. Nice and friendly staff. Very close to road so lots of traffic noise, and spaces are very close together.

Cute Spot

It is right by the road, but if you don’t mind it, it’s perfect! Porta potties, showers, and fire pits. Super cute and quiet.

Everything you need

Showers were free camping with them. We also ate at the restaurant and it was good as well. The site manager in the gas station/store was very friendly. The highway is close, but it isn't really a factor for sleeping unless you're a wuss like some of the other reviewers.

Avoid at all costs

Right on the highway, very noisy. Showers are listed as an amenity, but they charge $8. That’s not an amenity. There is no wifi in campground.

Meh

We stayed here for about 68$ for two nights, if I remember correctly. For that price, can’t complain about much. There are showers, although they are far away from the tent sites. The tent site bathrooms are porta Jon’s, with no hand sanitizer. And the tent sites are not easily maneuvered, it’s kinda hard to tell where each site ends. But hey, there are showers. Another con is the highway noise is very loud.

Nice Campsite, But Noisy Highway

This is a nice and convenient campground, with a nice campsite. The negative is the highway right next to the campground, and the business of other campers nearby. Also the bathrooms were not very clean.

Not a bad choice at all, but may not be the peaceful place you are looking for.

Pretty Good!

This campground was nice. Good spot, pretty views! Overall, enjoyable. Would return! Bryce Canyon is COLD this time of year, so the ground was covered with snow, but we expected this and packed accordingly.

Right next to highway...

The campground is right next to a super busy highway so you won’t get much sleep.  There are porta pottie.s right next to campsites (practically in them).

There is a nicer bathroom at the gasstation/hotel that the campground is run out of.  It has supplies wifi and showers as well.  

The campground is fairly close to Bryce Canyon but it is not worth staying at unless you absolutely need to.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between Bryce Canyon Pines Campground and Bryce Canyon Pines RV Park?

Bryce Canyon Pines Campground and the RV Park are actually the same facility. The property operates both tent camping sites and RV spaces, which sometimes leads to confusion in naming. The facility is located right behind a Chevron gas station, approximately 5 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park entrance. The campground accommodates both tent campers and RVs, with varying levels of amenities depending on your camping style. Tent sites are more basic with porta potties nearby, while the RV area offers more conveniences but is situated closer to the highway.

The campground has porta potties near the tent sites, plus access to clean flush toilets at the main building. WiFi is available near the store and laundry area, but not at individual campsites. The store sells firewood, camping supplies, and last-minute necessities. Good Sam Club members receive a discount. The campground also features shade trees and is situated conveniently close to Bryce Canyon National Park.

What does the Bryce Canyon Pines Store & Campground offer that other campgrounds don't?

Bryce Canyon Pines Store & Campground distinguishes itself with its convenient one-stop setup. The property features an on-site Chevron gas station, general store with camping supplies, and a restaurant serving good food. This comprehensive approach eliminates the need to travel elsewhere for basic needs. The campground also offers laundry facilities and showers in a single location. Its position just off Route 12 provides easy access approximately 5 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park, making it a practical basecamp for park exploration without the constraints of staying inside the national park.

Bryce Canyon Pines Campground receives mixed feedback compared to other nearby options. Positive aspects include its convenient location about 5 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park, clean facilities, friendly staff, and on-site amenities like a store, gas station, and restaurant.
