Top 10+ Campgrounds near Bryce Canyon National Park

Lots of sites, great views trails for hiking and horseback near by

We arrived just before sunset and found a great spot surrounded by big pines and aspen trees. Our spot was closely connected with a few other great spots but we were all alone. Many larger sites exist for groups. With plenty of distance off the main highway, there was no road noise. The road through the area is not paved but was well groomed, did not require 4WD, and could easily accommodate larger rigs. However, the ground was dry and there many ruts from when previous vehicles drove through likely as snow was melting.

This campgrounds is in panguitch which is about 29 miles from Bryce. The town is cute. All the stores are well stocked. And the local community, who earns money from tourism, really are very welcoming The campsite had the best bathroom/shower that one can expect. Hot water, great water pressure, very clean. The hosts were very friendly.

Not many flat spots, I found one for 24ft RV and have seen 2 people pull in, try other spots, and leave. If you want level ground you have to get the spot on the west side.

Looks clean, moderate highway noise. 15 minutes from the east entry

Wide open sandy areas in a beautiful forest right outside of town and the park entrance. Can’t believe these are free. No amenities whatsoever. Still had a little cell service with Verizon. I didn’t end up getting to camp though because it ended up snowing a few enriches and all I have is a cheap little tent. I went in mid April and it was predicted to be 17° that night so not many people but I imagine in summer this fills up crazy fast and would try to get there midday to find a place.

This road is full of pull offs to setup and camp. Much of it is pretty soft and in some areas deep sand, but had the area we picked all to ourselves. The closest other camper was about 1/4 mile away. We had Verizon service although it was a little sketchy.

I’ve stayed here on two occasions in a motorhome. The two main types of sites are cabins and full hookup RV sites. There are no trees in the RV area, but temps are mild even in summer due to the 8200’ elevation. The owners are clearly investing in improvements, based on growing sites and new cabins. The sites are not ON the lake but within a hundred yards or so. This is a prime area for fishing, mainly from boats, and rentals are available and reasonable. The surrounding area has many miles of dirt roads and off road trails. Nearest town is about 12 miles. Food options are limited, but the nearby Burger Barn is fantastic for lunch or dinner. Quality burgers, smoked meats (yum), ice cream, shakes, beer, wine. The resort has a small store with fishing stuff and snacks, and sometimes a snack/pizza place. There’s a small general store. Not cheap to stay here but average going rates

We didn’t end up staying here. The road is very muddy, there seemed to be a man living in the bushes, and it’s right off of the HWY. When we came it was just us and the man in the bushes. If there were more people there I would have felt more comfortable staying

We grabbed the last site on a Monday afternoon. Another camper told us it's been busy the whole week during their stay. Seems to be a couple options to pay: an actual machine that prints a ticket or scanning the QR code and paying via the Recreation.gov app. I paid through the app and took one of the envelopes and wrote the confirmation number and used that on my site post and dashboard. There was no fee tube to put the envelope otherwise. Other than that, the sites are a bit cramped, but the campers during my stay were quiet and respectful of one another. AT&T cell service was weak, but usable with patience.

We were running behind in our itinerary and had to change plans. It was late afternoon and they were awesome at getting settled in. The price was reasonable for full service. We decided to stay another night.

Watch conditions as it rained a few days before and was really muddy in the trails. Paired with melting snow truck slid a tad. Overall great location, full 5G AT&T and open spot options

Easy to find . We had site #20 which was a bit uneven. Saw white tailed deer near the road before entering! Really quiet

BEWARE OF MICE! Have some traps on hand, just in case.

There's a handful of smaller campsites, some walk-in only, none that seem big-rig friendly from what I could see. $15/night at the moment. Lots of traffic due to the trailhead beginning in the campground. Convenient spot if you're here for the hike. No cell service.
