North Campground is located in the beautiful and unique Bryce Canyon National Park. Known for its colorful rock spires and grand vistas that sweep out over the High Plateaus region of the Colorado Plateau, Bryce Canyon is the ultimate camping destination.Located at an approximate elevation of 8,000 feet (2438 m), the campground is centrally located within walking distance of the park's Visitor Center. Famed Sunrise and Sunset Points are located nearby, at the heart of the magnificent geologic wonder of Bryce Amphitheater, where hiking and photography opportunities are plentiful.
Bryce Canyon offers several Hiking trails for day-hiking, many of which are inter-connected. Single trails range from easy to strenuous, and from less than a mile in length up to 11 miles (18 km).

Astronomers love visiting Bryce Canyon, where 7500 stars are visible on a moonless night. An Annual Astronomy Festival is held in June, and the park offers Astronomy & Night Sky Programs on more than 100 nights throughout the year.

Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. Dispersed camping is free, therefore no services or facilities are provided; such as trash removal, tables, and fire pits. In some popular dispersed camping areas, camping is limited to designated sites only. Some visitors stay in a primitive style by setting up camp outside of any designated campsite area, sometimes referred to as “boondocking”. It is a great way to connect with nature and enjoy parts of Bryce Canyon Country that not many people see. Plus, it’s free camping. Dispersed camping is not permitted in all areas. If you’re going to set up a primitive camp in this way, please be sure to adhere to the following guidelines: Only camp on public land Keep your campsite minimal so as not to disturb the natural environment Remove any waste you produce, and Leave No Trace Be respectful of other visitors and wildlife in the area Keep track of your location so as not to get lost, and stay away from potentially dangerous areas.

Found this place on the DYRT as we were looking for a place to check out when going from Bryce Canyon to Zion. And decided on Cedar city. Almost all RV sites in town were >$60/night, so we opted to dry camp. Pyramid Ridge was exactly what we wanted. And for only $12/night (plus a $8 reservation fee) it was well worth it. Highly recommend.
Guide
So close to Zion this is a great free camping spot. The access road is a bit bumpy as the pavement is potholed but no trouble in our Class C. Lots of spots to choose from and some great views to be had. Highly recommend
Traveler
Excellent boondock spot. Excellent AT&T coverage
Traveler
A beautiful camp to set up RVs, vans, and tents. Plenty of space. There were several others here and did not feel close to anyone. Fire pits are available, but they are just slightly dug holes with small rocks. Recommend reinforcing the rocks before use.
Traveler
The area was very easy to find and very quiet. I arrived as sunset and only saw one camper. I know it is the end of the season, but other places right now are packed.
Make sure you camp in a designated spot, marked with posts and numbers.

This area is great for dispersed camping near Red Canyon and before you get to Bryce Canyon NP. Plenty of dispersed camping spots. There are no restrooms, water or electricity. Ponderosa Pine trees. Have stayed here several times.
Scout
Awesome location! Beautiful views! Multiple sites
Scout
Very clean restrooms, relatively quiet, well maintained.
TravelerWe rented a van from Escape camper vans and this spot of easy to find and get to! We saw a lot of people with campers and vans. We kept driving until site 10 which was the first one that was empty at about an hour before sunset. Very private and lots of fire wood! Right outside of Bryce NP. As we left early in the morning people were pulled off the side of the rode. Looked like they were just looking for a place to park overnight.
TravelerBumpy dirt road going in. Large area with plenty of private dispersed camping spots.
Legend
New camp. Everything is imaculate, very clean.
Guide
Pulled in around 9pm and found an empty site about .5 miles from Route 12. Awesome spot. Fire ring and very spacious. Managed to get 1-3 bars of T-Mobile 5G/LTE all night and morning.
Will most certainly revisit next time I’m in the area.
Guide
~$13.50/night to park in the gravel lot. I’ve got a RTT so it worked out perfectly. Full access to shop/restaurant, laundry, dish sink and shower (very hot, which was awesome).
Covered picnic tables and a communal fire pit nearby. Great alternative to the numerous BLM sites in and around town.
Traveler
We liked this spot however we could not go in very far due to the fact that our trailer has low clearance. There are a lot of long ruts from water run off.
There are two dumpsters near the entrance. Area was clean and good cell service.
Location is ideal for area slot canyons etc.

Stayed in spot#51 in Arch Campground with water/electric hookup. Showers only available in Basin and Oasis group sites, which are down the dirt road to the main road and then further into the park from where we stayed (not walkable). Showers were good though, free and unlimited time. Took a trip over to check out Bryce View and sites 53, 57 and 59 were best. Site mostly level, has interesting views of surrounding natural features. Only one toilet bldg and it's at the entrance so not particularly convenient.
Food aside: Had dehydrated egg with chorizo, bacon, hash brown and cheese on hatch tortillas, mmm.
Ranger
Stayed in spot 7 which purported to have shade most of the day, but maybe that's just the picnic tables because the parking spot itself was completely exposed. Nice sites around a central bathroom/shower building that was clean, free 8 min showers available. Reservoir appeared closed to boaters so quiet and really not very many sites so decent place to stay without being overrun. Water taps are not easy to spot and basically require a lengthy hose or to park in a neighbor's spot to avail, but we did this stealth and no one was inconvenienced. Overall a pretty quiet and pleasant experience. Petrified forest trail was nice and we did it early in the am, so no one on the trail until we ended and the sun was just on the rise.
Scout
You do not need 4-wheel drive to get to this parking area however I will say I was there in Aug 24’ and there was a lot of plant growth in the driving area to drive over. Nothing that would scratch my suv up but just noting in case someone decides to take a sedan back this way. I was the only one there and it was quiet and peaceful. I did get some service on AT&T but it wasn’t good for using the internet. Texting was fine.
Guide
Loved this spot!! It’s quiet and has a creek and trees Lots of sand so don’t get stuck, you can go to Belly of the Dragon before anyone due to camping next to it!!
GuideBeautiful new campground with great site spacing and excellent views. All new facilities nice and clean
Guide
Very pretty spot. Clean and level campsites. Had a very hard time finding a site, very crowded. But once we did we loved it. BEWARE! Someone stole our trailer break emergency breakaway cord, it was a pain in the butt. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.
Guide
Ruby’s tent area was separate enough for the hordes of RVs to make it an okay place to stay. Lots of car campers in this area (like us) and enough elbow room that you are not on top of each other. They advertise free WiFi, but it is a weak throttled network that is frustrating to even open email on. The good news- great cell service in Bryce!
It was a decent choice to be able to book in advance. The people were nice at check in and the Bryce shuttle runs from this location.
Scout
Not a bad camp spot but it was hard to find a level spot. We were staying in our rooftop tent and had to find rocks to level out
Guide
I enjoyed my stay here. I pitched a tent and drove a Honda Accord there. There was great cell service a bathroom/rest stop within 5 minutes and this is only a 15 minute drive to Bryce canyon NP.
GuideThis has been an amazing spot to stay at. Prefect for day trips into Bryce and Red Canyon!! All the others staying were so nice.
GuideWe drove the ~7 miles on dirt roads to get to the listed coordinates and the vibes were horrible the whole way. We eventually got .2 miles from the listed location and there was a gate that was closed and locked. even if it wasn’t blocked off, i wouldn’t recommend it😅
Traveler
Great spot not far from Bryce Park entrance. Quiet and lots of spots to choose from. We were pulling a 20 ft trailer.
GuideEasy to get to, plenty of room and quiet. One of the best spots we've stayed in. Vault toilets across the highway if needed.
