Top 10+ Campgrounds near Alton, UT

Watchman is a great campground for groups, RVs or whatever else. Awesome views, clean facilities and easy access to Springdale.

Sites are large, staff is friendly and helpful by you are remote so minimal amenities. Personally I loved it gorgeous scenery and easy access to Zion.

Really nice facilities and campsites! You can even get laundry done as well as it is in perfect distance from the park entrance!

Turn off is right before national park sign. Road is okay. Made it with a low clearance van even with some rough bits. Plenty of quiet private sites right off the road. Beautiful and makes getting into park so easy

Such a lovely place to camp! And less than an hour from Zion.

People camping wherever they want, not in designated spots. Dumping grey water tanks when they leave. Some people are flat out living there 🤪

Perfect location for visiting Bryce Canyon. Sites were clean and nicely spaced. we went on Easter weekend and there were hardly any other campers. Were able to leave the camper to come back to visit the park

It was a nice spot honestly, about 1000 yards after the paved road turned to dirt. The spot marked on the map seems to be well outside of BLM, but there are signs that indicate private property nearby, but not here.

There are also signs of previous campers. Campfires in different areas. Peaceful, despite being able to see the highway off in the distance, right next to a creek. Soft dirt for tent stakes even.

We were unfortunately there right before a spring storm.. so freezing temps and snow ruined our stay.. we stayed, but it was a rough night. Sandwich in the car rough.

Easy access dispersed campsites. Perfectly level in lower loop. Wind was relentless and despite nearly being May, it did snow a tiny bit today. We will return!

Great Campsite with trees and fire pits. You even have a great view. Also there is open range cows wondering.

No wood for fire pit, bring your own. No T-Mobile serves (both signal and data) Very limited Verizon serves (2 bars & LTE data)

It looked pretty busy when we arrived, but we soon found a spot on the first spur on the left up Sheep Bridge road - which is pretty washboarded but not an issue with our 2wd van and 22ft TT; just take it slow. The mountain biking around here is super; we enjoyed the Goosebumps and Hurricane Rim trails as a family (the latter was a challenge, but we all made it!) and I took a trip up to Gooseberry Mesa for the world class rides up there. Easy access to the excellent park and splash pad in Hurricane and 40 mins to Zion NP. A great spot!

Super close to some great trails in Bryce. Mild weather and protected by trees. It got very cold at night, around 27⁰F. Slept in a tent with 0⁰ rated bags. Perfectly comfy.

Great spot.
Close to Bryce Canyon Entrance I’d guess 20 sites from Maps. Passed 10 to get to ours. 2 were occupied 8 open at 3P on a Friday. Around 5:30-6P vans started rolling by us. I’d say get here by 4P for a guaranteed spot on the weekend.

Beautifully shaded open sites. About 3-5acres/site.

Just writing this looking as cars pass. Definitely get here by 5P

Came hear in mid April with a camper van. Easy in and out road to site only one other family using location during this time. Very close to Bryson canyon. Great view from site.

No fee at this time signage shows you usually have to pay. Non potable Water was not on at time of stay.

This area was the beginning of an adventure. And it feels somewhat adventurous for a "starting point". Sites are spaced far enough apart to where you rarely even recognize movement from the other sites, but you don't really feel "alone" if that is what you're after. The views are insane, sunrise to sunset. The one knock is the wind.. look, I get it, desert camping. On a mostly flat plain. Wind is going to be a thing. But if it stayed at a gentle breeze, this would be 5 stars all day! It comes and goes throughout the day sometimes a slow ramp up, sometimes a sudden gust. It rarely feels "dangerous" though one gust popped a tarp (old tarp or strong wind.. dunno) scared the bazeesus out of us.

Found a spot mid week, mid afternoon, but more people are showing up. Easy access from Hwy 12. There are sites right along FR 117 and there are several spur roads with sites. Some of the spur roads have rough spots. I was towing a 15' camper, able to get around ok. Lightly forested with ponderosa pine. Views through the trees. No facilities at all. Depending on where you are, there can be a little noise from the highway. Pleasant location.

It’s one of those everything is here campgrounds. Groceries to pool. Shuttles to good service

Verizon cell service almost full bars. Plenty of space where even if you can see your neighbors they're far enough away. It was nice and quiet. Someone left dog poop but whatever. There are quite a few spots with fire pits made with big rocks. Perfect for my and my doggo! We camp in my 4runner. There is a mix of soft sand and rocks as far as the ting would go, but wouldn't take too much effort to clear a soft area of sleeping on the ground. Basically no wind 🥳

This is the ideal place to stay in Bryce! Beautiful campgrounds in the forest, minutes walk away from Sunset Point for lots of trails. The toilets and sink wash were clean and warm. No hook ups and dump at North was closed. We stayed in April and it got to around -7C / +30 Fahrenheit in the van!
