ScoutGreat place to stay. Some sites close to others, some distant. Very large area - about 1/2 mile long. Could be windy, no shade. Good cell service. Dumpsters available. 10 minutes away from Escalante, but very dark at night. Could be hot in summer.
TravelerComing from Escalante, this site was one of the first high up the mountain that offered a long line of site. We pulled our van right in. There’s plenty of space and nice trees. Even though Escalante was hot, it was nice up here.
ScoutWe stayed here for one night on our way from Escalante through BCNP and back to SLC. We had a spot next to the water. It was calm and quiet. The bathrooms were immaculate and we loved the little mile hike in the campground. Despite the crazy amount of red ants, we loved the spot and would definitely come back!
ScoutThis is one of our favorite spots to camp in Utah. It's fabulously close to Bryce Canyon NP and a reasonable distance from Zion NP and Grand Staircase Escalante. Kodachrome is also a good destination in itself. Campsites are surrounded on three sides by beautiful cliffs and mountains and there are plenty of trails to hike and explore. We'll be back here again!
ScoutFairly private for a camp ground, at least where we parked, next to the dog park. Great spot within walking distance of restaurants, clean, dog friendly
LegendThis is a super family-friendly campground and with so many "camping" options! There are full hook-up RV sites, cabins, and pre-assembled tent structures in various sizes. Amenities include: Swimming pool, playground, dog park, laundry, restrooms with showers, and Wi-Fi. It's a little close to the main street of the town, but that makes it easy to find!
TravelerWe been dispersed camping with a camper van for a week and this RV park was everything we needed: laundry, showers, recharge devices with power along with the dump, all within a few steps. Each site has a dividing fence with plenty of room in between. The owners know how bad RV parks could be. Never seen cleaner facilities with a spacious laundry room, showers, etc. They even have a dog park. Their communication with you is above par, everything is explained before you arrived via text. And if you are overdue on your stated arrival time, they send you a text with after hours check-in info.
LegendNice small county run campground just east of Escalante, UT. Great for a home base to explore Bryce Canyon NP, Grand Staircase-Escalante NM, and Utah’s Petrified Forest SP. potable water provided, but dry camping otherwise. Tent campers have easy access to restroom facilities open 24 hrs.
Escalante River Trailhead is within easy walking distance.
TravelerHenrie's Hitch n Post is a nice campground. They are currently updating the park with concrete pads, more spaces, and new amenities. The laundry room is clean. The bathrooms and showers are new! They hold a weekly bon fire, and offer morning coffee (sometimes with baked treats!) There is a dog park, horseshoe and cornhole courts. The beginning of June is the town's quilt walk. The end of June is the Balloon Festival. We will be back!!!
