The Best Camping Near Sevier, Utah

The campground is really nice and just a few miles off of I-70 and about 6 miles east of I-15\. We made the mistake of choosing site 22 which would have been great for tents but even though it is large it is unlevel and took 4 2x6 to level the trailer (Not impossible to level just be aware).

There is a nice trail out of the south end of the campground that follows a stream. it is a nice hike. There is plenty of trail and hikes across I-70 starting at the visitors center as well as an interesting museum and shop. There was a spot to purchase firewood at the campground; as I recall it was $5 or $6 dollars for an armful.

The one warning, there are signs in the campground warning of rattlesnakes and we did see one. It gave plenty of notice that we were to close.

Not too far off the road

Small if on the power hook up side. Quiet and quaint

Surprise Pytographs in Campground!

We spent a fun day exploring Cedar Breaks National Monument. However, we lost track of time, the sun was setting and we had not chosen a place to camp. 

**Campground Review of Fremont Indian State Park**:

We searched on TheDyrt app for nearby campgrounds and found Fremont Indian State Park. We drove down the mountain and around another mountain and found the campground. It was totally dark by the time that we arrived and so we quickly parked and set up our campervan to sleep. 

A gentleman emerged from the shadows and approached our site. It seemed a little sketchy at first. However, he ended up being friendly and inquired if we’d like to join him and his friends around their campfire. After we prepared our campervan and cleaned up a bit, we dropped by the campfire. It turns out the party included some park staff and researchers. One lady was researching dark skies and one gentleman was researching astral alignment with ancient rock art. They shared about their research and showed us some of their amazing photos of the night sky. A warm way to end the day.

The next morning, we woke up to snow on the ground and the nearby mountaintops. Having learned from our new friends that the park contained some pretty significant rock art, we decided that we should check it out. We hiked on a couple of the trails and discovered quite a few of the rock art pieces created by the Fremont Indians. There's an easy trail that is located adjacent to the park office. There are other trails that run along the river. It is amazing that so much of the rock art was in such good condition.

The campsites provide the basics like a parking space, picnic table, electrical &amp; water hookup and firepit/grill. The restrooms were conveniently located close to our campsite and were clean. There are showers behind the restrooms. During the winter the showers may be closed. The campground is somewhat small, but is surrounded by beautiful mountains and bluffs. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

**Product Review of Travelers Autobarn Campervans**:

As a Ranger for The Dyrt, from time to time I am provided products to test. For this outing I was provided a Travelers Autobarn Kuga Campervan.

The best thing about traveling in a campervan is the ease, flexibility, and ability to make detours if needed. 

We picked up our Kuga Campervan in Las Vegas. The Travelers Autobarn office is just west of the the main strip and easy to find. We arrived early in the day to begin the registration process and campervan orientation. The process was quick and easy. The Kuga Campervan is a hightop van conversion with couches, a table, two beds, propane stove, sink, water, kitchen, interior lights, fan, window shades and solar power. We also had the free living package which included kitchen pots, pans, utensils, cups and accessories. It also included sleeping bags, sheets, pillows and towels. The package pretty much made it super easy to get in the van and go. 

The Travelers Autobarn staff member was super friendly and provided an orientation of the basic operation of the campervan. The campervan drives like a normal van, but learning about the camper functions was helpful. 

We had charted a route around Utah and Arizona visiting a number of towns, parks, roadside attractions and hot springs. The day that we started a weather system passed through which made the temperatures drop in the northern part of our route. We simply flipped our route to avoid the cold weather and traveled the southern route first. By the time that we circled north the weather had warmed up and it was perfect weather for exploring. Traveling in a campervan made it super easy to be flexible with our route and schedule. 

On our seven day trip we visited Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Horseshoe Bend National Monument. Monument Valley National Park, Arches National Park, Mystic Hotsprings, Zion National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Meadow Hotsprings, Valley of Fire State Park and Fremont Indian State Park. 

If we were not traveling in a campervan it is unlikely that we would have had the flexibility to camp anytime and anywhere. We would have never found and stayed at Fremont Indian State Park. It ended up being a gem of a park and a great overall experience. This campervan camping adventure opened up my mind to new opportunities and travels. So much fun!

Ranger Review: Travelers Autobarn Campervan at Fremont Indian State Park

Castle rock is the primitive side and it’s amazing, the camp hosts do a great job keeping the bathrooms clean and the sites free of debris between campers.

Bring a hummingbird feeder and be treated to hundreds of hummingbirds right in your camp 

Sites are quiet and have lots of room

Wonderful hosts and great site 

Sam Stowe. Spot Ss01, is the first one on the left as you drive up, pull thru hook ups on the left.
1 night and would come back and stay a few nights. Would try for a spot toward the back. Alot of flies. 

excellent sstop

This is great when you need to hook up to water and electric. Also had clean restrooms and clean showers for $1.25 for 4 minutes. Coin operated.

The Sam Stowe campground was great and close to the museum

Stayed at Sam Stowe on our way to Bryce. Stay in site 5. Good site….private.  Great hiking trail at the rear of the campground. Goes up the canyon. Visited the various sites for Rock Art through the park. Great stuff.  We were able to stream using Verizon.  Stayed for two night.  

Great Rock Art

OK, but quite a bit of freeway noise due to proximity and acoustics of site.  Limited hiking from site.  Need to walk/drive about a mile back down to visitor center to walk trails with petroglyphs.

Convenient, but noisy

Small (24ish sites - but gravel pads, and level for the most part) campground but beautiful!  Prettier than some national parks we’ve been to!  Great hike up the canyon!
