Best RV Parks & Resorts near Central, UT

Several RV parks near Central, Utah provide full hookup services for motorhome travelers. Southern Utah RV Resort features 150 sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections on wide, paved roads. McArthur's Temple View RV Resort in St. George offers 272 RV sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service, concrete pads, and cable TV hookups. Zion West RV Park maintains pull-through RV pads that accommodate larger rigs, though sites are positioned relatively close together. St. George/Hurricane KOA Journey provides year-round access with pull-through sites, though without specified 30-amp or 50-amp service. "The sites are 33 feet wide and 80 feet long. Every site has 50-amp service. This park is truly big rig friendly," noted one visitor about Southern Utah RV Resort.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak seasons, particularly for parks near Zion National Park. Most RV parks in the region maintain dump stations and trash collection services, though availability varies by location. Cell service quality fluctuates throughout the area, with visitors reporting strong coverage at McArthur's Temple View RV Resort but spotty Verizon reception at locations closer to Zion. Pet-friendly policies are common across most parks, with designated dog run areas available at Southern Utah RV Resort and Gateway Luxury RV Resort. Propane fill services are limited, with none of the surveyed parks explicitly offering on-site propane. Winter travelers should note that while most parks remain open year-round, some amenities like swimming pools may close seasonally.

    Zion River Resort

    Great park & amenities, close to everything!

    We stayed at Zion RV resort in Virgin, Utah just outside Zion National Park and nearby towns in October 2021. This is a very nice full-service RV resort that offers a variety of pull-through and back-in sites, and cabins. The sites are 50amp FHU, fairly long, and have nice spacing between sites. The park is pristine and offers a large inviting pool and hot tub, laundry room, playground, dog runs, propane fill station, and a real lodge with lots of apparel, home goods, ice, beer and other beverage choices. There is access to the Virgin River from the campground. We really enjoyed our stay here just minutes from Zion and other local attractions. The only downside was wifi coverage if you have Verizon. This was spotty and one bar at most. We highly recommend this RV resort. To see videos on this campground and others, visit our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.

    WillowWind RV Park

    Best wifi experience in an RV park

    We needed stable, steady Internet for a month. While we regularly travel with two hotspots for Internet coverage, we barely needed to use them. 

    We stayed in one of the satellite friendly spots. Unfortunately, the space we were in was not so "friendly" due to the mature trees on either side. The satellite friendly spots are in the back of the RV park, and the aisle behind us had newer/younger trees that would not block satellite (but also would provide no shade).

    Your experience at this park may vary. There were clearly a lot of monthly/semi-permanent residents at this park, especially on the back in spots at the edges. We would go back here, but we'd get a pull-through site next time.

    Pros:

    - Internet.

    - Location in reference to Zion, Bryce, and Cedar Breaks.

    - Post office (for general delivery) is 2-3 blocks away.

    - Major restaurants and retail stores within 10-15 miles (St. George).

    - At least 3 state parks within a 20 mile radius, two are water sport havens (Sand Hollow and Quail Creek) and the other is hiking trail nirvana (Snow Canyon).

    Cons:

    - No pool on site. 

    - Location of trees on RV space meant that we could not use our patio awning for the month. If we positioned our RV to allow us to use the awning, we wouldn't be able to park our tow vehicle at all. 

    - Our RV space was in the area with grass between the spaces. Sprinklers were programmed for daily delivery, and because of the width of the concrete pad, we were getting hard water stains on our RV (the sprinkler head pointed directly at our steps out of the RV). We noticed that on some of the "monthly" sites, there were plastic sprinkler head "deterrents" that would keep the spray from overshooting onto the concrete pad.

    Zion West RV Park

    Nice smaller park.

    We stayed at Zion West RV park in October 2021. This is a small RV park with a mix of full-time and traveling RVers. It has a variety of sites including pull-through, back-in and tent sites. We had a FHU site with 50 amp service. This park doesn’t offer a lot of amenities, but does have showers and laundry room. It’s in the small town of Leeds, Utah and is about 30 minutes west Zion National Park. It is also near many trails and fun things to do. We enjoyed our stay here and it was quiet and relaxing. We will stay here again next time we visit Zion NP.

    Zion River Resort

    Nice RV Park, wifi is slow though

    The park itself is nice. Full hook ups, heated pool and hot tub. Restrooms and laundry on site. Propane also on site. There are also a series of fenced in dog parks (3). So if you have dogs that don’t get along with other dogs that’s a plus because you can just go in a different one. The wifi is kind of hit or miss sometimes though. When the park is full at peak times good luck streaming anything. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t spring for the back in river spots unless you just want privacy behind you. The view for us isn’t that great as there is a rock wall behind you so your view is actually of that unless you have a very big rig. It is very close to Springdale and Zion National Park which is very convenient and why we chose it so four stars.

    McArthur's Temple View RV Resort

    Well organized Snowbird nest 😃

    The Temple View RV Resort in St. George was nice even though the lots are not paved. They have a covered bubble swimming pool, shuffleboard, billiards, and a lot of different scheduled events you can participate in. 50amp full hookups including cable TV and Strong wifi. It's located 10 minutes off the highway. Lot of single wide, well kept trailers that are lined with palm trees. Many high end RV coach's (250k UP) Only issue we had the 2 days we stayed was low water pressure entire stay. Called the office to see if the pressures could be raised and was told to wait a few minutes and try. Well I tryed around 100 times for taking a shower and ended up unable to in our new RV and it wasn't our RV's problem as both neighbors next to me also said their water pressures were weak... Still, its a nice place with nice people. Felt safe & comfortable.

    McArthur's Temple View RV Resort

    McArthur's Temple View RV Resort + Saint George

    We were on a road trip around Utah and decided to stop in the town of Saint George to get a bite to eat. We ended up taking our time to eat. By the time that we finished it was already dark and a little bit late. We didn't feel like driving far to a State or National Park, so we looked on TheDyrt app for nearby campgrounds. We found the McArthur's Temple View RV Resort right in the middle of town. 

    We first attempted to call the resort to see if they had any openings, but it was a Sunday evening and their office was closed. We were close by so we decided to just cruise over to the site. We found the office and luckily they had an after hours info kiosk with information about available campsites. We found one that was located right behind the office and adjacent to the restroom which worked out perfect for our needs. 

    The resort has many other amenities that we did not have time to take advantage of such as a pool, shuffleboard, cable tv, movie theatre, etc. It appears that this is both a long term and short term RV resort with many amenities. We paid the fee via the dropbox which was about $42. The restrooms and all the facilities were clean and accessible. At this resort, you're located in the middle of town, so don't expect easy access to natural areas. However, there are natural areas nearby the town of Saint George. 

    The next day we drove to the nearby Valley of Fire State Park and had a blast. 

    Caveat: The resort's name is McArthur's Temple View RV Resort which kinda indicates that while at the resort you may view the Saint George Mormon Temple. We could view the temple from an open area within the resort, but not every campsite has a temple view. It's best to simply drive to the nearby temple and check it out if you are so inclined.

    McArthur's Temple View RV Resort

    An okay spot in St George

    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: 3 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 3 Local Attraction Proximity: 4 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 4 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 4

    Price seems a bit high for what you get. We were in a back-in site which was $75/night after all taxes and fees (included a 10% Good Sam discount). There are limited options in the area and with Zion so close by and half the nation vacationing in RVs right now, our hands were a bit tied. We have some other favorite spots in this area but they were all booked up in late September.

    These sites are CLOSE together. The one thing I liked about the layout was that they have you park on the other side of your concrete pad, so your face isn’t right at your neighbors sewer hose or slide out when you step out your door. However, your neighbor behind you is right at your bumper. Luckily, all our neighbors were friendly and pleasant. There is a picnic table and concrete area for chairs. Our table was not cleaned and seemed to have something dripped all over it (looked like blood, unconfirmed).

    They have free wifi boosters they rent out during your stay so it makes the wifi not awful... good enough for browsing and checking emails with some patience.

    We didn’t use the pool but it looked nice and was quiet while we were there. We actually didn’t use any facilities but the office was clean! Also, while the staff wore masks, they were virtually the only people in town wearing them. Almost all of St. George was mask-free.

    Very very close to downtown St George (1.5 miles) and tons of good restaurants. Good proximity to nearby parks and Zion is less than an hour away. Staff was very friendly.

    It’s a find place to stay but with cost factored in, we would only return if we were in a bind... or really wanted full hookups.

    Navajo Lake Campground

    Great family friendly campground

    Loved this campground! Plenty of spots, good mix of back in, pull through, and tent. Spots have picnic table and fire rings. Flushing toilets and firewood for purchase. Limited parking for tent spots-one car per spot. Walking access to the lake and beautiful views! No cell service FYI, but 20 min drive to duck creek village where there is a general store, gas station, and cell service

Guide to Central

RV camping near Central, Utah offers a range of options between St. George and Zion National Park. Most campgrounds in this area sit at elevations between 2,800-4,000 feet, creating mild winters and hot summer temperatures that regularly exceed 100°F. Many RV parks provide concrete pads for stability during the region's frequent afternoon winds, which tend to pick up during spring and fall months.

What to do

Hiking at Red Cliffs: Located just minutes from St. George/Hurricane KOA, Red Cliffs National Conservation Area offers miles of hiking trails through towering red formations. "This National Conservation Area is surrounded by towering red cliffs that have miles of hiking trails through them. It's a great place to spend the day exploring," notes Berton M. from St. George / Hurricane KOA Journey.

Swimming in resort pools: Many RV sites near Central, Utah feature heated swimming pools for cooling off. "We decided to go lux after several days at Zion in Watchman. Amazing pool including wade-in area that will delight kids. Water was warm! Plus a hot tub and towels by the pool," writes Kim G. about Hidden Springs RV Resort.

Kanarra Falls exploration: This popular slot canyon hike is accessible from RV parks in the northern region. "This was the first stop on a three night road trip and what a great location if you're looking for comfort. Red Ledge RV park offers everything from grass sites for tents, Wi-Fi, amazingly hot showers, a propane grill free to campers, fire pits, and even a hot tub! I would highly suggest stopping by if you're interested in hiking Kanarra Falls," recommends Will M.

What campers like

Clean, modern facilities: Recent renovations have improved many RV parks in the area. "Very well-kept place can only be recommended, also very good for large rigs! Gas stations, restaurants, groceries, all within a 10-minute drive," writes peter T. about Southern Utah RV Resort.

Location convenience: Access to multiple national parks is a major draw. "This KOA is located about ten minutes outside of St George and right off the I-15 freeway. This is a good campground for any trip to Zion or the surrounding area," shares Berton M.

Family amenities: Recreational options keep everyone entertained. "With its huge resort style swimming pool and hot tub. Pickel ball courts and corn hole boards. This place is a vacation destination in itself. Located less than 20 miles from Zion national park, it's a perfect place to start your adventures," notes marty G. about Gateway Luxury RV Resort.

What you should know

Wind conditions: Strong winds can impact camping comfort throughout the area. "It is extremely windy, with nothing to break that wind. We came back to the site one evening to find both tents down and our things scattered across the tent site area," warns Kelly S.

Varied cell service: Coverage quality depends on specific location and carrier. "Cell Service: Good," reports Berton M. about St. George/Hurricane KOA, while other reviewers mention spotty reception closer to Zion.

Traffic noise: Many RV parks sit near major roadways. "It's right by the highway and you could hear the semi's going by all night. There's not much in the way of privacy between the tent sites," explains Danielle S.

Temperature extremes: Summer heat impacts comfort levels. "The weather here is extremely hot over 100! The bathrooms were hot no ac. Most spots have only one small tree or none unless outside or some inside but far from the bathrooms," cautions stephanie V.

Tips for camping with families

Look for kid-friendly pools: Some resorts feature special swimming areas. "Great spot for a night or more, wished we could spend longer here, and it was one of the better camps of our trip. Beautiful property, landscaped sites, kid friendly pool, incredible views," recommends Davis D. about Hidden Springs RV Resort.

Consider recreation options: Onsite activities keep children engaged. "Sprawling views and clean accommodations," says Rachel A. about McArthur's Temple View RV Resort. Another visitor adds, "This campground has a very nice rec center and plenty of activities during the winter months. We still enjoyed the spring warmth and their large outdoor pool."

Choose tent sites wisely: Grassy tent areas provide better comfort. "Grass for the tent campers ONLY and they made sure to let people know they wanted NO dogs on that area so neat bonus!" notes Brittney C. about Leeds RV Park.

Tips from RVers

Follow provided directions: GPS systems sometimes misroute vehicles. "Follow the directions on their website. They put a special note on purpose. Glad we followed it instead of google maps or we would have gotten lost," advises Danielle S.

Account for site levelness: Some parks require significant adjustments. "Sites are large, staff is friendly and helpful by you are remote so minimal amenities. Personally I loved it gorgeous scenery and easy access to Zion," shares Melissa F. about Zion RV and Campground.

Choose scenic routes: Secondary roads offer better views. "If coming from the 15, I highly recommend taking the old highway 91. Such a pretty drive, worth the extra few minutes," suggests Davis D.

Book partial hookup sites for discounts: Travelers can save money with fewer amenities. "We chose this place because of its proximity to the Kanarraville Falls trailhead (it is less than a half-mile away) but although it is advertised as an RV park and campground and there is a small grassy area for tents, it really is just an RV park, with a good percentage of full-time residents," explains Lee D. about Red Ledge RV Park.
