    Cedar Canyon

    Huge Group Site!

    Campsite was HUGE! 12 kids, 8 adults, 5 cars, 2 nights. We set up 9 tents and there was still room for more. Vault toilets and 2 water spigots were a very short walk away. 2 big picnic tables. 1 other table near campfire. 1 campfire. I wish the site had its own water spigot. Near highway and near cute little creek. Zero cell service but no one seemed to notice. 15 minutes from Cedar City. 20 minutes from the lake for fishing and boating. No showers. Great time was had by all! Will definitely go back!

    Coal Creek Dispersed - Cedar City

    Great for Dirtbagging!!!

    Quiet tent/truck camping. Not far from Cedar City (15min). Medium cell signal on T-Mobile. Right off of highway but plenty of tree cover to dampen road noise. Waterfall and creek noise to lull you to sleep. Large dirt parking area. Dispersed tent sites or truck bed/van life in the dirt lot. Go slow going in, pot holes and rocks. Two entrances both from highway. 4-star only because local kids use this as their bonfire/drinking spot and as such tend to make late night noise.

    Indian Peaks RV Park

    Great little RV site for 1 to multiple nights!

    Awesome RV Park just off I15.  Park is great for Vets as paying cash will get you a night for $30.  I arrived to spend 1 night but ended up spending 4 as it gave me the time to restock/refresh as I am an avid boonedocker.  6 miles from Cedar City to all that you will need.  Lots of trails to hike or bike.  Showers, laundry and restrooms available and very clean!!  I will definitely be staying here again!

    Cedar Canyon Retreat RV Park and Campground

    Loved Cedar Canyon Retreat

    We stayed five nights at this campground.  It is a smaller, family ran campground.  There are large pull thru's and back-in sites.  They even have a few tent sites.  It is right off of Highway 14 and can be noisy, however we didn't have any issues sleeping.  The restroom/showers were extremely clean.  It seemed they were cleaned several times a day.  Each time we would use one, the toilet would be spotless.  They do offer WIFI however the connection is hit and miss.  This was a nice place to stay that was in between Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks.  It's about 1.5 hours to Bryce and about 1 hour to Zion with only being a few minutes from Cedar City.  We enjoyed the more campground feel vs a large gravel lot that most RV Parks offer.  We would definitely stay here again.

    Cedar Breaks RV Park

    Nice place

    We stayed for the 4th of July weekend in 2020 and it was a nice place. Easy after hours check in and the staff was very helpful. Clean bathrooms and close to everything cedar city has to offer. Nice dog park too.

    Cedar Breaks RV Park

    Near MTB Riding

    We stayed here to get in some MTB riding.  The park is conveniently located whether you want to ride the East or West side/s of Cedar City.  The park is clean, mostly level, and has a nice dog park.  Our site was near the entrance, which meant we were close to Main St and quite a bit of traffic noise.  Next time, I'd look for a place more towards the back of the park.

    Cedar City RV Resort by Rjourney

    Great for family RV trip

    We booked Cedar City KOA as our first trip to a KOA. The park is on the edge of town but close to anything you might want or need. Our site was directly across from the playground and 50 steps from the off-leash dog park. Both the kids and the dog greatly appreciated both. Unfortunately, some campers struggle with quiet hours and allowed their kids to scream and play in the playground until as late as 1am. The second night of our stay the kids were back after 1ppm, but the staff swooped in and gently moved them along. Speaking of the staff, they were friendly, attentive, and professional 100% of the time. The grounds were well maintained and clean and the campground full of friendly faces.

    St. George RV Park & Campground

    St. George RV Park & Campground, UT

    Located right off the highway, this a great place to stay for one night or for longer periods. There seemed to be several full-timers living in the campground. You can hear the highway when you sleep, so try to request a site furthest from the road. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was welcoming and accommodating. There was not a dog park or any grassy areas that allowed pets which was a challenge.

    Mammoth Creek RV Resort

    Spacious, Grassy, two sided dog park. Breed Inclusive!

    This is a Great place! I love that they are pet friendly and not breed restrictive. I have a pit mix (who's just a big ole teddy bear) and you know how that can often make travel and lodging difficult.  I love that he is welcome here. They have a big grassy dog park for him to run and play in, he loves running in the sprinklers! Its two sided and completely fenced in so large and small breeds can have their own safe space to play in. I really appreciate the picnic benches to sit on for the parents. For me this is a huge benefit and I recommend this park for any pet owner!
