Best Cabin Camping near Escalante, 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 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!

What a nice Park to spend some time in the fascinating area of Capitol Reef NP and Great Escalante NP! Beautiful spots with a perfect view, clean and comfortable restrooms/showers and cute cabins to rent, if you didn’t plan on sleeping in your Van/RV. We were lucky to get Spot 12, a pull through hook-up slot. Thanks for having us, we are happy to come back to the super friendly hosts and this cozy park!

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 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.

When I called, I was told there was tent camping only or rustic cabins. When I explained we had a camper van, I was told it would be ok. Upon arrival, we were told to park anywhere we could find a spot (and there was a truck camper doing the same). Lucky for us, we ended up at the end of the row, right next to the laundry room with a family restroom and shower. The downside to this was a lack of privacy as people entered the laundry room. 

There are nine tent pads; 1-5 are very close together and there is no privacy between them but 6-9 are spaced a bit further apart. There is a covered picnic pavilion that can be used by the tent campers as well as what appeared to be picnic tables by each pad. I don’t know the cost of the cabins but for “tent” (for us, van) camping, it was $8 per person, reasonable considering the use of restrooms and showers were included. There is a store (with gear, clothing, and other souvenirs) and café on the premises; when we were there, the hours were limited(due to Covid) but their website indicates they are open for lunch and dinner till 8 or 9 pm (depending on the season). So, we quickly ate at the café (the sandwiches were delicious) and then settled in. The showers had plenty of HOT water, which after four days without a shower, was like heaven to us. 

The laundry room was well-lit and had a table for folding laundry (or sitting at while waiting). 

Although there is much to do in the area, there were no specific activities offered by Escalante Outfitters. For us in our van, we paid $16 to park in a gravel lot but the showers made it well worth the price.

This is a nice little Gem. It has tent spots for $20 a night, RV hook ups and nice little cabins for $45 or a deluxe cabin for $65 a night. There is a store on site and it is still close to town. Picnic tables, and fire pits at each spot and lots of shade. This is a really nice camping spot. Close to Capitol Reef or the Boulder mountain and also lots of great jeep trails up Sand creek road. This is God's country.

Kodachrome basin state park is the place to be if u wanna camp in utah. Where oh where do I begin?! First off, we stayed in BRYCE VIEW campground, #55. This campground is one of a few campgrounds in KBSP. No hookups, but each site has a table and firepit. Pit toilets are available. The thing I like about Bryce view is that its more primitive than the oasis campground, but still close by. The only issue we had at our site was fire ants. Wear closed toed shoes; i got bit and the pain lasted approximately 2 hours. If u have kids, bikes or both- DONT MISS OUT ON THE TRAILS! The grand parade trail leads into 2 box canyons that allow for hours of hide and seek play, kids and adults alike. We spent a couple hours on this trail just exploring the canyons. There is a disk golf course that backs up to BV campground. Also theres a LAUNDRY MAT near the main entrance which was a huge life saver. I loved our site and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
