Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bryce Canyon National Park

My wife and I are digital nomads, we run our company where ever we go so it's CRUCIAL that we have comfort items, but most importantly that we have **solid internet. **

We travel with 3 kids (ages 5, 3 & 3), 3 dogs, a cat, and a grandma in our 31' Travel Lite, Evoke Model B with the hopes of a road school education for them. EmpoweringHumansAdventures.com

We booked a deluxe premium site (site 16) and were very pleased with the room, the patio, the fire pit, grill, and nice table.  The parking was gravel and not flat, we had to level up.  Had access to 50 and 30 amp, sewer, and water.  Make sure you use a pressure monitor as the pressure was strong.  They offered firewood for sale and our fire pit was very nice.

We were close to the clubhouse which had coffee daily for a charge. ($1.30)  The store had the basics and all but one of the staff was extremely kind to us. If you need more you could walk to Sinclair and get more items.

They were very specific about dogs being leashed all the time, which we fully agree with.  As a former Marine K9 handler, it's normally not the dog that is the problem, it's the handler.  The dog area is very close to site 16.

The basic internet was blah, we upgraded to the faster speeds for $5.23 a day and it was well worth it.  We were able to stream tv for the kids, work on the laptops and do live video conferencing.  Support was very quick to respond when I asked for speed but they weren't able to give me more, but again it was good enough to get work done, stream and do video conferencing.  

Cell coverage was ZERO for Sprint, and have to drive a ½ mile before getting coverage.

Overall the campground was pretty quiet, we are pretty close to the highway so you did have some large/loud trucks that drove by.

There are showers (very small) but the water pressure was great and the water was hot.  Bathrooms are always clean and the laundry was just fine.

We shot a few videos to share our experience and will stay here again.  

Mossy Cave was very close and we highly suggest the short hike back to the waterfall.  A little further is the petrefried forest which was also nice.

You can zip over to Bryce Canyon National park ($38 entry fee) for the day.  It's well worth it and there's a ice cream shop just before you go into the park that I recommend.

Things we loved:

• The deluxe Premium site is great if you have small kids.

• Internet was solid and gave us what we needed

• This campground was extremely clean

No so much:

• No cell service

• Feels very old

• Road noise

Hope this review helps, we hope to see you on the road!

Half our party stayed in the motel we stayed in one of the 9 open sites. You will need 20 feet of sewer house, 20/30/50 amp service at each site. Use a filter to remove the slight odor to the water. Shower house was clean and the water was hot. This park has tent camping RV sites a one story motel and some original cabins from Bryce Canyon National Park. The pool area was nice and the field gave our grandkids a good place to kick a ball and run around the on site restaurant smelled delicious but we cooked our own meals. During this strange time this was a great place to stay. If it was really busy I am not sure we would have enjoyed it as much.

General: This small (26-site) campground is about two miles west of the small town of Escalante and 44 miles east of Bryce Canyon National Park, situated along the shores of Wide Hollow Reservoir. 

Site Quality: The sites vary: some have very long pull-throughs, some have very small driveways, some are not quite level, and some have covered picnic tables while others do not. Sites A-D in the Lakeview section have water and electric. Site D is a very long pull-through and likely has the best view of the reservoir, however, there is a paved path that passes by it, so it is not as private as some others. Each site has a fire pit and a bbq grill. There is also a group site in the Lakeview section. The layout is a little wonky but once you drive through once or twice, you get the hang of it. 

Bathhouse: There is a small basic bathroom with a flush toilet and sink in the A-D loop and a larger one with showers that is more centrally located. Both were clean.

Activities/Amenities: There is a short but steep Petrified Forest Trail. I followed signage in a counterclockwise direction and it was very well marked until I reached the top and then…it wasn’t. I got lost twice and ended up backtracking the way I came. If you hike this, I recommend taking a map. There is also fishing and, in season, swimming in the reservoir. 

We had a pleasant but short (one night) stay at this campground, which was completely full on a Tuesday in late April so I would recommend reservations regardless of when you plan to visit.

I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Ratings for this category are based on: Value to cost: 4 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 4 Local Attraction Proximity: 5 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 4 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 4

Panguitch is a small, quiet town right along Route 89. The area is flanked by cool stuff... Bryce Canyon National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Red Canyon, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Escalante-Grand Staircase, Scenic Byway 12, and a whole lot more. Hitch N Post offered a great basecamp for all these areas.

The sites are basic and level with reliable hookups. You get a picnic table but it may be incredibly close to your neighbors slide out as the spaces are very close together with no buffer or privacy. Super basic layout but easy enough to navigate to.

Acquiring reservations and checking in was easy, though they were at full capacity almost the entire duration of our stay. The woman that checked us in (I believe she was the owner) was very nice and spent about 20 minutes with me going over local maps and things to do in the area with lots of personal tips. We took advantage of a lot of her recommendations.

The laundry room was very clean but closes at 7pm daily which was surprising because their map/checkin packet says it’s 24 hours. Our laundry actually got locked inside as it was still drying at 6:50pm. They must have locked it up early (oddly bc there was still clearly 3 dryers still running). We had to track down someone with their posted phone numbers as they closed the office too. No big deal, but just be aware these forms are inaccurate.

At $37/night, it’s a very affordable spot for such great proximity in the area. There is an area for tents, but this is really an RV park. They have a shared fire pit area and open fires at the sites are not allowed. Also, wifi was unusable, but no real surprise there. Worth it for all the cool stuff nearby. Make sure you do not skip Red Canyon on your way to Bryce. It’s awesome and has tons of fairly easy hikes with huge payoff.

Sunset is one of two campgrounds in Bryce Canyon National Park in Southwest Utah. Bryce is a beautiful canyon and a must see if you are touring southern Utah. The canyon top drive extends over twenty miles with numerous lookouts points. The campgrounds are close to the main entrance and provide a great option for all levels of campers. The sites are occupied by primarily tent campers as well as smaller trailers and vans. The campground is in a nice wooded ponderosa pine area within walking and biking distance of the canyon. The campground roads were recently repaved and the sites were well maintained. Each site had a fire ring and picnic table as well as close access to fresh drinking water. The campground is a great launching point for riding bikes and going on hikes throughout the park. Bryce does not get the same number of visitors as Zion but you will need to make a reservation during the peak season to secure a campsite. We visited in October and the campground was full and had been for the previous two weeks. The temps got down to the low 20s at night in October. So you will need to pack a warm sleeping bag and winter ready gear. While we preferred Zion and Arches Park, Bryce is with the visit.
