Best RV Parks & Resorts near Blanding, UT

Beautiful campground in the Needles section of Canyonlands.

$20/night, and there is a 7 day stay limit within 30 days, and 14 days total per year. 

There are two loops: loop A is first come first served, and loop B takes reservations during busy season (is FCFS in winter), but if there is a spot open it’s available for walk up (no reservations) for one night only.  The campground layout is nice and spread out, and the whole area is so quiet and peaceful. 

There is drinking water here, trash and recycling (plastic and aluminum only), flush toilets (no showers). 

No cell service in the whole park but our WeBoost gave us several bars of LTE, and there is wifi at the visitor center. 

This campground is nice in that there are many hiking trails nearby. 

There are 2 handicap spots, and 1 is available for anyone after 8pm for 1 night only. 

Heads up that the driveway up into each camp site can be steep and/or have a dip so if you have a long vehicle you may scrape. I believe the length limit here is 25ft, we fit fine in our 26ft motorhome. Hosts on site were very nice and helpful. 

Campground is free in winter after the water is shut off (approx mid to late November, usually, depending on weather).

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were here for a few days in mid April. The CG is pretty basic, and could use a little work, but has full hook-ups with 30A service. We were in site 4(a pull-through) for 4 nights in mid April. The owner was friendly and helpful. It’s a good central location for exploring scenic areas in the vicinity if you need/want FHUs. While here we plan to visit a number of scenic areas in; Gooseneck SP, Mexican Hat Rock, Moki Dugway, Muley Point Overlook, Valley of the Gods and Monument Valley- lots to see around here.

AT&T coverage showed 2 Bars of LTE service, with speeds up to 3.5 MB/s. We had an unobstructed view of the sky and so we were able to receive all 3 SW Dish satellites and Starlink had up to 15 MB/s. We didn’t try to load any OTA channels.

Came here to see petroglyphs which are next to the campground along the San Juan River. 

The campground is $15/night, first come first served and can accommodate big rigs. 

The sites are dirt and gravel and each has a fire pit and picnic table. Area was dusty and very sunny though some sites offer some shade. 

The campground is not far off of the highway so there is some road noise. There is a boat ramp for river access. There were quite a few fishers so must be good fishing area though I don’t really know. 

There is no garbage and water is available seasonally, but pit toilets are available so pack in and pack out and bring lots of water. 

The campground was clean and the petroglyphs were cool, it's just too bad that people vandalized them. Good place to stay for a day or two.

Small campground located in Natural Bridges National Monument, which is located within Bears Ears National Monument boundaries.

$15/night. Self pay, first come first served. There are vault toilets, garbage cans, and plastic, paper, and aluminum recycling within the campground. No water at campground, but the visitor center has bottle and jug filling stations. 

The length limit is 26ft, which seems accurate as our 26ft motorhome fit in the spot but anything bigger wouldn’t have. The loop is narrow as well, so bigger rigs would have a difficult time navigating the campground. 

There are hikes in between the bridges (no bikes allowed on hiking trails) or you can drive or bike the 9 mile loop to see the bridges. 

No cell service here and service in the Bears Ears NM was spotty. The cell booster did not help and there is no wifi in the visitor center/ bookstore.

Stopped here to do a little recon for a future trip.  Definitely will stay here next time we are in the area.  

Hamburger Rock is a BLM campground located in the Indian Creek Unit of Bears Ears National Monument. Sites 1- 9 are at the base of the Hamburger Rock geologic feature. This campground has easy access to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, which is less than 7 miles to the west. Hiking and rock climbing are also popular activities in the area. Be sure to check out the ancient petroglyphs at Newspaper Rock, which you drive past about 18 miles before reaching Hamburger Rock Campground.

Monticello is the ideal place to explore eastern Utah from.  Everything is about an hour away.  National Parks and monuments: Moab, Arches, Canyonlands, Hovenweep, Monument Valley, Canyons of the Ancients, even Mesa Verde is close.  Moab is an hour away.  Cortez, CO is an hour away if you need recreational, um, tobacco.  It's also a lot less crowded than other places in the high season.

Old West RV Park, plunked down right in the middle of Monticello, is owned and run by "Big Jim," an avuncular trick shooter who regularly gives a show to the occupants of the 15 or so rigs that fit in his park. 

Good Verizon coverage; the campground has wifi but it doesn't stretch out to the end.  We were in space 12; Big Jim seemed to think it was not the best spot (no wifi), but we liked it because our door opened onto a view across the street instead of the side of another trailer.

The park will fit any size trailer if you can get one of the few pull-through spots.  Other spaces, like ours, will fit pretty big trailers (ours is 25-ft) but you will have to unhitch and park next to your rig.  There are full hookups and everything is in good order.

NOTE: the water pressure is quite high.  They will lend you a pressure regulator for free or they will sell you one for $15.

We really enjoyed our four days here and would definitely visit again.
