Several RV parks provide full hookup options within driving distance of Castle Dale. Buckhorn RV Park and Resort offers electric hookups, water hookups, and sewer connections on pull-through RV pads that accommodate varying sizes of motorhomes.

Castle Gate RV Park in Helper features big-rig friendly sites with fifty-amp electrical service, while Nine Mile RV Resort in Wellington maintains 83 RV sites with both thirty and fifty-amp options. Esquire Estates Mobile Home and RV Park, under new ownership, has been making continuous improvements to accommodate RV travelers.

from $25 - $150 / night
"The pull throughs and interior roads a lot of dirt mixed in with the gravel so it's what and muddy. Curious between the sides are large gravel and free for mud. Rest of the facilities are adequate."
"Still under construction, but when finished it will be a very nice and convenient park between Salt Lake to Moab. They only have two rows open at this time but offered a discount to our stay."

"Was told there were new owners turning it around and it definitely shows. Will definitely be back. Back in sites towards the back are phenomenal if you’ll back a trailer."
"The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because some of the sites aren't level and are pretty close to each other. I had to use 3 yellow square leveling blocks on the left side."
from $50 - $300 / night
"This is a very nice small full hookups campground! Spot are small. But there are a few larger 5th wheel trails here. Michelle and her husband are very friendly and easy to talk with."
"Small private campground with country feel. Owner Michelle very friendly and welcoming and accommodating. Pros: Full hookups at all sites. Sites spacious enough to extend slides."

"On the edge of town, with family who had never been camping before, this was a great spot to settle in for our first few nights. All spots have a shade tree and a picnic table."
"I learned that this campground has been here for almost 50 years and through many generations of owners. The new owners have done a great job and reviving a historical campground."
from $25 - $75 / night
"After our water getting turned on in our trailer by mistake while driving, this site came as a relief. It was just plain EASY. Clean site, full hook ups. "
"Water electric and sewer. They do charge, of course. I'm not in an rv , but I do spend the night in my camper van, and it's all good."
from $37 / night
GuideGood place. Wide site #42. Did not look at restrooms. Cute little town, very old but has all the items you may need- Ace Hardware, grocery store, Mexican food, gas stations. You save 3 cents a gallon at the Philips 66 station.
TravelerThis may not be fair since it's been wet and rainy for several days. The pull throughs and interior roads a lot of dirt mixed in with the gravel so it's what and muddy. Curious between the sides are large gravel and free for mud. Rest of the facilities are adequate.
TravelerJust passed the park sign from the north there is a Spur Road with five primitive fairly dispersed sites. It's about half a mile down from the South Temple wash Campground. No facilities no picnic tables firings and the sites are well spread out. The road is fine for 35 ft Class A with tow. Excellent Verizon service.
LegendPark is right on the Green River (which was milk chocolate brown). Lots of pull thrus as well as back-ins and tent sites and cabins. There was also a boat launch and you could rent kayaks and canoes. Next to the golf course. The holes kind of surrounded the park. Bathroom and showers were clean and great water pressure. Lots of trees and grass.
RangerThis hike is amazing. We brought our dog along. The end is absolutely gorgeous. There were a few sites around but it’s mainly just the trailhead parking lot, with little to no cover. No amenities. The panel is worth it
GuideI had an emergency book because of hurricane Rachel remnants. I stayed in T4 in my sienna campervan. It was great. Affordable. Some longer term residents I met were wonderful.
For me the trains stopped around 830. And were not frequent. But northbound trains do have to nail the horn for level crossing nearby. See video of zephyr
TravelerEasy drive to get to camp area, about 15 miles up a paved road into beautiful national park. There are about 15 spots in the Aspens, we went all the way to end and camped against Cold Spring lake.
Area was pretty full in October with lots of people deer hunting.
TravelerI have an AWD camper van. Great place to camp and spectacular views, and it’s not far off paved road close to Goblin Valley State Park.
ScoutBit of a labyrinth to find a spot but worth the effort. People around but still nice amount of privacy
