    Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

    Friendly and Clean!

    We only got to stay one night in one of the cabins, and definitely wish it was more! The cabin was really cozy and clean. The staff was very friendly at check-in, ensuring we had everything we needed. We watched mule deer out the window for a while and had fantastic views around us. Will definitely be coming back on another trip through Utah!

    Nice place to camp.

    This is a very easy place to throw a tent up or park an RV close to lake and good fishing. In some beautiful country.

    There are some primitive bathrooms, and nice tables. The campsites are big. The only downside to this campsite is the road is close by and can be noisy.

    Pine Lake Campground

    Spectacular setting in the National forest

    Dry camping at it's finest. Less than 20 miles to Bryce canyon NP. Huge sites, handles big rigs. Lake has fish. Plenty of off road opportunities.views of Powell Point are within a short drive.

    Posy Lake Campground

    Hurry! The secret is getting out!

    One of the most scenic campgrounds in the Western United States. And excellent trout fishing, too! The eight acre Posey Lake is perfect for quiet kayak fishing among the pines and aspens. The campground has state-of-the-art toilets that are kept immaculate and oder-free. Potable water spickets are strategically placed throughout the campsites. Docile deer are common in the early mornings and the Milky Way makes its appearance after sunset. In the summer, look for the Big Dipper to descend over the north end of the lake. Campsites No’s. 11, 12, 13, and 14 have trail access to the lake (No. 12 is best). If you want seclusion, reserve campsite No. 16, although it is furthest from the lake. All sites come with a fire pit, barbecue grill “on a stick,” picnic table, and bear-proof food locker. The trail to the fire look-out is adjacent to Campground No. 14. It’s an moderately easy hike with some inclines and switchbacks.

    Pine Lake Campground

    Wooded, Well Spaced, On a Creek, near a Lake

    With 32 sites and multiple additional Group Sites this is a hidden gem near Bryce Canyon National Park.

    Some of the best sites are walk in only, but many are reserve-able online in advance.

    The camp host sells wood for $7 a bundle and they are smaller sized pieces and there is not any real foraging in the campground (surrounded by a fence to keep out free ranging cattle.  You can forage for firewood in the national forest outside the fence ...

    Lots of ATV and boaters use this campground

    Boondocking is available as you approach the campground and pass it ...

    Pine Lake Campground

    AMAZING!!!

    Absolutely beautiful. The trees against the sand stone is gorgeous. The lake was so pretty. I can’t even describe how beautiful this area is. There are two loops in the campground. The upper loop is for reservations only. The bottom loop is first come first serve. Bathrooms were clean and water spigots throughout the campground. There are dumpsters at the very end of the road on the way out which is super nice and convenient. A walking trail leads around the lake. Lots of ATV trails nearby. Bryce Canyon is only 30 min away. This has definitely become our new favorite spot.

    Pine Lake Campground

    Pine Lake Campground, UT

    Conveniently located near Pine Lake. This small lake is great for fishing & kayaking; however, it is always windy. The campground is definitely off the beaten path, but at 8100' elevation it's a great place to beat the heat. Sites can be all sun or all shade. Many first come first serve, which is good for a last minute trip. Clean bathrooms, water at taps, no hookups, no cell service, and closes for the winter by mid-Sept. p.s. You can camp there when it's closed (bathrooms open, water locked), but it's really spooky to be the only ones there.

    Nice Burr Road side stop overnight

    Good location to have a few group camp next to small Butte.  I think the location on the map is off slightly.  Our cords were 37.84858,-111.37018.

    Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

    Sandy but large

    Stayed for two nights. We picked a corner spot which coincidentally was the farthest from the office - the only restrooms in the park. Tons of rv spaces and the park was only about 1/3 full so there was decent privacy. Views of canyons in the distance, but behind a neighboring trailer park. Facilities were great, laundry, showers, restrooms, 110 plug-in and water were great. Site was really Sandy so make sure to bring entry mats for this campground!
