Best Cabin Camping near Dixie National Forest, UT

How ever you are traveling, Ruby's has an option for your accomodations. Just a mile outside of Bryce Canyon National Park, Ruby's is essentially a town of its own with multiple stores, restaurants, rentals and entertainment. Beautiful RV and tent camping sites with clean ammenities like laundry and bathrooms. Indoor and outdoor pools + hot tubs as well as great Wifi.

If you're in an RV, it's worth the extra few bucks for the upgraded sites, which give you more space and lots of trees.

Very nice hot tub 104 degrees open till 10 pm. Super helpful staff. Pool is heated as well. Shuttle to Bryces from parking lot or drive in - very close 3 miles.

This site was great for our large group! Close to all hiking trails for Bryce Canyon. Short driving distance to restaurants. There was a pool a hot tub! The night sky was clear and BEAUTIFUL.

Went to Bryce in June for the annual star festival, which was so unique. Tent sites are find-your-own-spot within certain regions. I wish we’d had time to check out Ruby’s pool and hot tub. Made a lot of use of their laundromat, and the 24 hour one next door. Clean bathrooms.

We lucked into this private campground on a quest to see the Kanarraville Falls. It's a small lot right on the main drag and only three blocks from the Falls trail head. Gail, the host and owner, put us on a nice grassy patch under a couple of pines and invited us to make use of the free showers (the bathrooms are coded for guests only), the hot tub, and the communal grill and patio. She was super friendly and a great source of information about the falls. For being on the main road through town and on a very small lot, it was very quiet. Tents are mixed in kind of wherever they can fit between RV's, campers, and a couple of cute cabins. A great option when its the only option in town and you only plan to stay a night or two.

We stayed here in our class B van because we could not get a reservation in Bryce. The Bryce shuttle stops right on the property! Ruby’s has everything you can want. Friendly office staff, clean bathrooms, hot showers, propane, free Wi-Fi that works pretty well, a pool/hot-tub and more. Sites where we stayed (closer to the road) are well spaced in Ponderosa pines. We’d stay again!

The tent sites are well spaced and surrounded by trees. The showers were clean and plenty of hot water. There was potable water and a dish sink at the shower house. The pool and hot tubs were an awesome bonus. I enjoyed eating at the restaurant onsite even though it has limited hours. The coffee shop is open all day though! Great place to stay you really can’t beat it at 14 bucks a night!

Zion was a whole new experience!! The sunsets are amazing the hike were just as spectacular. Cabin rental or camper sites available outside the park trail head and is a great alternative if the NP is full.

Zion was a whole-nother experience!! Fire red sunsets, completely different setting from where I was use too and one of the tallest trail hikes and rock climb I have been on, seems that throughout the day the settings always change! Cabin rental or camper sites available outside the park trail head. Be prepared for masterpiece painted memories!!

We were just looking for a place to sleep, checked out the first camping outside of Zion east entrance and decided to check out the next closest one according to info from the Zion ranger. Info said 2 miles, but more like 7-8. Upon arrival my kids eyes lit up and we booked 3 mid week nights. Free, private hot showers. Dish was station. Free pool and hot tub, ball sports, playground and fitness trail. Pay for stuff like bungie trampoline and rock wall and put put. 2 camp stores recently equipped, even individual beers(4%). Our site was a little small, tent was to close to the fire ring to feel comfortable with a fire. We peaked at the glamping tents and were jealous, maybe next time. Great spot at $30 a night plus taxes etc.

We finished out our Spring Break Outdoor recreation trip by clamping in one of the canvas tents at Ponderosa. I'd never been so excited to sleep in a bed. We slept with 5 people in each tent. The tents were accommodated with 4 beds (2 twin, 1 Queen, and 1 pull-out couch). We were provided with a power strip for phone charging as well as electricity, extra blankets, and towels.

While we were too tired to take advantage of all the activities offered at the resort, we spent a good amount of time in the hot tub and pool which we had all to ourselves. We then finished out the evening by cooking burgers over the fire and taking showers.

We woke up the next morning to a light dusting of snow, but were not cold during the night. We then enjoyed the all you can eat breakfast which was very nice, especially after having to wake early and make our own food over a temperamental stove each morning.

All in all, Ponderosa was a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend it (Plus it's located literally just outside of the Zion Park border).

So, take Ruby's with a grain of salt. It's historic, big, and tourist-y. We camped in the tipi (most tipis are ON the highway, so request tipi 10) that was by the lake. The tipi is probably the only secluded camping available. It was fun and pretty comfortable. It was cool at night in June, unlike all the other places we have camped in Utah. Sadly, there are so many lights at Ruby's, you can't see the stars. But, the atmosphere at Ruby's is more like being at an attraction than being outside in nature. Bathrooms are too small and there aren't enough of them to support the campground. There are shuttles to Bryce Canyon park available from Ruby's. There are shops, groceries, and anything you need at Ruby's. If you're used to nice mountain bikes, do t get your hopes up with the rentals. They are in bad shape. Also, there really are not mountain bike trails in the area. Even mountain trails that allow bikes are really horse trails and terrible to ride.

We rented a cabin, the first cabin curtains were too small and I thought they would just send someone with different curtains. They upgraded us to a bigger cabin and were very apologetic about it. the area was very close to Zion National Park and Cedar Point National Monument! Beautiful!

We stayed in a cabin with four twin beds (two bunk beds) and one queen bed. It was a small two room cabin but it was quite cozy and cute. The bathroom were a bit of a walk from the cabins which was not ideal but they also had a basketball court that we played around on and had a good time.
It’s a bit dry a barren at the campsite but otherwise a nice place to stop.
