Escalante Petrified Forest State Park sits just over two miles northwest of the town center, offering developed camping within Utah's red rock country. The state park provides established campsites with standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and picnic tables. Campers have access to hiking trails that wind through petrified wood formations and lead to Wide Hollow Reservoir for fishing and non-motorized boating.
The campground serves as a base for exploring the broader Escalante region's slot canyons and backcountry areas. Shooting Star RV Resort provides a private alternative about a mile away for RV campers seeking full hookups.
