The campground features bear boxes for food storage, barbecue grills, and fire rings at each campsite. Sites are generously sized with gravel surfaces suitable for trailer parking. Water spigots are strategically placed throughout the campground for convenient horse watering. The campground has clean, modern toilet facilities but no shower amenities. While no dedicated horse corrals are listed, the spacious sites accommodate portable corrals or highlines. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for trail riding amid pines and aspens.

Located 35 minutes from the nearest town, Posy Lake Campground connects riders to mountain trails with spectacular views. A moderate hiking trail adjacent to site #14 leads to a fire lookout with panoramic vistas.

    Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

    Friendly and Clean!

    We only got to stay one night in one of the cabins, and definitely wish it was more! The cabin was really cozy and clean. The staff was very friendly at check-in, ensuring we had everything we needed. We watched mule deer out the window for a while and had fantastic views around us. Will definitely be coming back on another trip through Utah!

    Posy Lake Campground

    Hurry! The secret is getting out!

    One of the most scenic campgrounds in the Western United States. And excellent trout fishing, too! The eight acre Posey Lake is perfect for quiet kayak fishing among the pines and aspens. The campground has state-of-the-art toilets that are kept immaculate and oder-free. Potable water spickets are strategically placed throughout the campsites. Docile deer are common in the early mornings and the Milky Way makes its appearance after sunset. In the summer, look for the Big Dipper to descend over the north end of the lake. Campsites No’s. 11, 12, 13, and 14 have trail access to the lake (No. 12 is best). If you want seclusion, reserve campsite No. 16, although it is furthest from the lake. All sites come with a fire pit, barbecue grill “on a stick,” picnic table, and bear-proof food locker. The trail to the fire look-out is adjacent to Campground No. 14. It’s an moderately easy hike with some inclines and switchbacks.

    Nice Burr Road side stop overnight

    Good location to have a few group camp next to small Butte.  I think the location on the map is off slightly.  Our cords were 37.84858,-111.37018.

    Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

    Sandy but large

    Stayed for two nights. We picked a corner spot which coincidentally was the farthest from the office - the only restrooms in the park. Tons of rv spaces and the park was only about 1/3 full so there was decent privacy. Views of canyons in the distance, but behind a neighboring trailer park. Facilities were great, laundry, showers, restrooms, 110 plug-in and water were great. Site was really Sandy so make sure to bring entry mats for this campground!

    Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

    Good basecamp

    We were here for 7 nights mid-November. It was very cold so we had to disconnect water at night but hook-ups were easy to use and worked well. Sites are gravel, fairly level and very large. Plenty of room for trailer and truck in site. Wi-Fi was weak even right by the office but, if you're patient (or have a booster) it's fine. Bathrooms/showers in the laundromat were clean and in good repair. Laundry was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Not a lot to do super close by but not too far from good stuff!

    Posy Lake Campground

    Awesome quiet campground

    Honestly this is easily one of my favorite campgrounds, the lake is awesome for fishing. The campground is well taken care of and the water taps are strategically spaced out between campsites. We went and had the majority of the campground to ourselves, it was awesome to have the campsites be so close to trails.

    Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

    Nice facilities

    First time staying in an RV park. He were very happy with the facilities. The only reason I am giving a 4 star is because it could have been stocked better. There was never toilet paper or hand soap and 2 of the showers were permanently locked. Great location and close to town.

    Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

    Incredible Value

    We were happily surprised by the lovely, clean bathrooms, the friendliness of the staff, etc.

    The only thing is the campsites were pretty close to each other, so if you want lots of space, this may not be the best for you.
