Sitting just off Highway 89 in Orderville, Mount Carmel Motel & RV Park functions as a compact base camp for RV travelers heading into Zion National Park from the east. The park runs from mid-March through October, and sites are gravel-leveled pull-throughs with full hookups, accommodating rigs up to 51 feet. Road noise from the highway is noticeable, though multiple reviewers describe it as manageable. Shade varies across the property, with some old-growth trees providing cover on certain sites and others sitting more exposed.
The amenities here are a consistent draw. Showers get high marks across reviews, with Merel J. describing them as "hot and very clean showers." Coin-operated laundry is available on-site from 4 to 10 p.m., and the property also has a dump station, WiFi that reviewers found reliable, and Verizon coverage at three bars. A grocery store sits nearby. Sites are small and close together, which means the campground can feel tight when full.
One practical note for RV campers: reaching Zion from this side of the park requires passing through the Mount Carmel Tunnel, which has restricted hours for oversized vehicles, generally 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Planning around those windows matters, especially for larger rigs. Campers wanting dispersed alternatives nearby can also check BLM 20R Dispersed near Orderville or Cliffside Cabins and RV Park. Mount Carmel suits RV travelers who prioritize full hookups, clean facilities, and a convenient overnight stop near Zion's east entrance.
Description
Mt. Carmel Motel and RV is located along scenic Highway 89 in Southern Utah and is just 20 minutes from Zion National Park and a little over an hour from Bryce Canyon National Park. We have been a family operation for nearly 40 years. We also live and work on a farm and ranch near our motel that has been in the family for 4 generations. We love being able to meet wonderful people from all over the world and provide them an affordable experience in our unique farm town setting as they visit our nearby national parks. We would love to host you and your family next time you visit the area!
