Cool Stay close to Bryce Canyon

Nice shady stay near Bryce. Lots of bugs, nothing biting but buzzing around your face all night. Also lots of animal bones around the site. Other than that it was very quiet and nice besides the occasional side by side

Just what we needed

Came here for a quick overnight stay so we could catch sunrise at Bryce.

Lots of space, areas where people had fires were marked. Easy to find.

Not many people there on a Sunday night.

15 minute drive to Bryce Sunset point

Perfect!

Exactly what I was looking for. Nice and spaced out sites. Felt like you were really out in the woods but safe! It was the perfect temperature as well.

Tim the tear drop approved

Great out of the way spot just outside Bryce Canyon national Park. Little up hill rocks and some trees but made it with our wrangler and tear drop camper just fine.
