KOA Campground Vernal

Reservations are available at this full-hookup KOA in Vernal, Utah, where RVs up to 75 feet can pull in with electric, water, and sewer connections. Sites run close together, which some visitors find cramped, and the cost draws comment from reviewers who note the price feels high relative to site spacing. The campground does provide shade trees on some sites, which matters in summer when temperatures climb enough to warrant running an air conditioner.

Families tend to get the most out of the setup here. There's a pool, a play area, and pedal cycles available for kids to ride around the grounds. Restrooms come up consistently clean in reviews, and staff have a reputation for being helpful, including lending tools to campers dealing with vehicle trouble. Mosquitoes can be a problem in early summer, particularly after heavy snowpack years when low-lying areas stay wet into June.

Dinosaur National Monument draws most visitors to this part of northeastern Utah, and the campground sits within reasonable driving distance of the Utah quarry, where exposed dinosaur fossils are visible in the rock face, along with petroglyphs and a historic cabin. For campers planning a broader regional itinerary, there's useful context in camping near Vernal to compare what's available across the area. Fossil Valley RV Park is a nearby alternative that one reviewer specifically mentioned as a quieter option a short drive away.

Nice amenities and cute town

The campground was really nice and so were the staff. It's about a 30min drive from the dinosaur fossils, but its worth it for the amenities and the cute town.

Needs a lot of love

This it the KOA near Dinosaur Np on the Utah/Colorado border. They had a tough winter and were still recovering in June when we stayed.. the area with the dog park was flooded from snow melt, so it had not been mowed in some time. Mosquitoes were bad. Dog park was unusable. They have a pool. Also rent 3-wheel cycles for kids to ride up and down terrorizing everyone. I is a short drive to Dinosaur Np.

Vernal, UT

Lots of activities for families (pool, play area), small dog area, clean restrooms, staff was very friendly. We had some vehicle troubles and the guy lent us a few tools we didn’t have and checked on us to see how it was going. Lots of things to do in the area and is close to Dinosaur NM. Also has a large teepee tent and larger cabin for a few families to stay in. Tent, RV, and cabins also available.

The Old Guy Is An ass

I arrived here around 7:50pm . There were a lot of empty spaces to camp but the old & grumpy guy didn’t allowed me to camp here.

I wouldn’t recommend it. Go to “Fossil Valley Rv park & self . It’s like 6min away.

Convenient

We hadn't done much research in this area and hadn't planned where to go so we decided to "glamp" at the KOA. For a KOA this was pretty nice. Restrooms were clean. Lots of activities for children. It was expensive for close together sites and only electric and water hookups. We did have a nice shade tree however and were able to run our A/C. The proximity to Dinosaur National Monument was the reason we stayed 2 nights. We explored the Utah part of the Monument (where the dinosaurs are) and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the quarry, petroglyphs and cabin.
