Hikers and mountain bikers exploring Utah's red rock country will find direct trail access from Bryce View Campground, which sits on a dirt road within Kodachrome Basin State Park. The campground occupies 11 pull-through sites numbered 46-56, positioned to capture views of the park's distinctive sandstone spires and chimney rock formations.
Most sites accommodate RVs up to 20 feet, though the campground operates without hookups. Mary S. notes that "sites are large and the views are beautiful," with sites 51, 52, 55, and 56 backing up to views of Chimney Rock and Shakespeare Arch. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilets, potable water spigots, and a large trash dumpster serving the campground.
The campground enforces a generator restriction allowing use only between noon and 4 p.m., contributing to quiet evenings under expansive night skies. Campers can access the Grand Parade Trail directly from the campground, leading into box canyons that provide hours of exploration. The nearby Panorama Trail connects to a viewpoint offering 360-degree vistas, though this represents the only spot in the area with Verizon cell coverage.
Showers and laundry facilities require a drive to the Oasis area, about two miles away near the park's other campground options. The Basin Campground offers hookups and flush toilets but with sites positioned closer together. Reservations are available for Bryce View, though walk-in sites sometimes open up for campers arriving by mid-morning.
For those wanting even more primitive camping, the Arch Campground provides a walk-in tent option deeper in the park's backcountry.
Description
Sixty-seven monolithic stone spires called sedimentary pipes accentuate multi-hued sandstone layers revealing 180 million years of geologic time. The color and beauty found here prompted a 1948 National Geographic Society expedition to name the area Kodachrome after the popular color film. Kodachrome Basin, as its name implies, is a spectacle of massive sandstone chimneys changing in color with the day's mood.
