Historical exploration: Visit Fremont Indian State Park near Sevier to see petroglyphs and rock art. According to campers at Sevier River RV Park, "Fremont Indian State Park is nearby.

Clean facilities: Most campgrounds maintain well-kept restrooms and showers. A camper at Cedar Mountain RV Resort mentions it's a "new campground. Still working on it but going to be great when it's done." Cedar Mountain represents the newer options in the region.
Mountain views: The surrounding mountain landscapes provide scenic backdrops at most area campgrounds. A visitor to South Forty RV Park described it as "tucked in a beautiful canyon, and surrounded by mountains," noting there's "a gorgeous paved bike path that runs along the river, nearby."
Stargazing conditions: Minimal light pollution creates good stargazing opportunities. One camper at Cove Fort RV Park appreciated that "what I liked most was the lack of ambient light. Went out at night and it was pitch black with sky full of stars."
What you should know
Seasonal operations: While some rv campgrounds near Elsinore remain open year-round, others have limited seasons. South Forty RV Park operates from April 1 to October 15. Doctor Creek Campground's season runs "May 18 to September 6," according to their listing.
Reservation systems: Some parks don't allow specific site selection in advance. A camper at South Forty RV Park noted, "The only thing I didn't love is that you don't get to reserve a specific site. They assign one to you when you arrive."

Laundry facilities: For extended family stays, check which campgrounds offer laundry services. A visitor to Love's RV Stop-Salina appreciated that it was "clean, new, nice amenities, not very crowded and right at the gas stations."
Dog restrictions: Review pet policies before arrival. According to a South Forty RV Park visitor, "There are some pretty strict rules with dogs, sewer lines, and washing UTVs/ATVs in your site. However, the camp is very clean so it appears the rules are working."
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Most rv campgrounds around Elsinore accommodate larger rigs with pull-through sites. At Monroe Canyon RV Park, "The sites are all very large pull throughs, so we would not have to unhook if we did not need the F250 to roam the area. The site is wide enough to park your tow vehicle next to your rig."
Surface conditions: Expect gravel pads at most locations. At Wagons West RV Campground, a visitor observed "No concrete pads, just gravel with grass and picnic tables between."
Internet connectivity: Connectivity varies by location. At Monroe Canyon RV Park, one camper reported "There is wifi that was more than serviceable, it was good when i tested it. My Visible and my Verizon worked great for data also. Cricket was great for phone calls."
