"Overall great rv sites with full hook ups, level sites, some shade trees depending on site. Both sites we stayed in did not offer much shade but at least good to have greenery around."
"We couldn’t get in the park and this is literally directly outside the park with full hookups and shuttle stops at the campground. We stayed in site 62 which was a pull through."
$37 - $90 / night

RangerMy wife and I are digital nomads, we run our company where ever we go so it's CRUCIAL that we have comfort items, but most importantly that we have **solid internet. **
We travel with 3 kids (ages 5, 3 & 3), 3 dogs, a cat, and a grandma in our 31' Travel Lite, Evoke Model B with the hopes of a road school education for them. EmpoweringHumansAdventures.com
We booked a deluxe premium site (site 16) and were very pleased with the room, the patio, the fire pit, grill, and nice table. The parking was gravel and not flat, we had to level up. Had access to 50 and 30 amp, sewer, and water. Make sure you use a pressure monitor as the pressure was strong. They offered firewood for sale and our fire pit was very nice.
We were close to the clubhouse which had coffee daily for a charge. ($1.30) The store had the basics and all but one of the staff was extremely kind to us. If you need more you could walk to Sinclair and get more items.
They were very specific about dogs being leashed all the time, which we fully agree with. As a former Marine K9 handler, it's normally not the dog that is the problem, it's the handler. The dog area is very close to site 16.
The basic internet was blah, we upgraded to the faster speeds for $5.23 a day and it was well worth it. We were able to stream tv for the kids, work on the laptops and do live video conferencing. Support was very quick to respond when I asked for speed but they weren't able to give me more, but again it was good enough to get work done, stream and do video conferencing.
Cell coverage was ZERO for Sprint, and have to drive a ½ mile before getting coverage.
Overall the campground was pretty quiet, we are pretty close to the highway so you did have some large/loud trucks that drove by.
There are showers (very small) but the water pressure was great and the water was hot. Bathrooms are always clean and the laundry was just fine.
We shot a few videos to share our experience and will stay here again.
Mossy Cave was very close and we highly suggest the short hike back to the waterfall. A little further is the petrefried forest which was also nice.
You can zip over to Bryce Canyon National park ($38 entry fee) for the day. It's well worth it and there's a ice cream shop just before you go into the park that I recommend.
Things we loved:
The deluxe Premium site is great if you have small kids.
Internet was solid and gave us what we needed
This campground was extremely clean
No so much:
No cell service
Feels very old
Road noise
Hope this review helps, we hope to see you on the road!

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!
TravelerThis is an older, smaller RV Park that has several cabins and a few tent sites. The RV sites are typically pull through and both 30 AMP and 50 AMP are available. Nothing hyper here, but a well maintained park with nice restrooms and showers and a laundry. Located next door to a recommended restaurant and within a half mile of Escalante Outfitters - Espresso, Pizza, Salads and books and gear for your Utah Canyons adventures. Also a half mile to the Official Visitor Center: BLM, NPS and USFS - to answer all your wandering questions.
LegendWe drove through all 3 loops of this campground on a Saturday, and every single site was marked as “reserved.” Luckily we checked with the host, just in case, and they had several spots available! Not sure why they mark the free sites as reserved.
There are flush toilets (as well as vault toilets), no showers, potable water and a dump station. There are trash bins and recycling (aluminum and plastic only, no glass). Generator hours are limited to 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening, which is nice, but boy do all the generators get fired up right on cue when it’s time.
This campground is within walking distance to several trails, the pie and gift shop, the schoolhouse and petroglyphs along hwy 24, and the visitor center is about a mile away.
Deer trot right on through the campground, and the surrounding orchards are open for picking at harvest time. There’s no cell service anywhere in this area but the visitor center has free wifi.
ScoutWe stayed 4 nights at this place. There are no showers and the restrooms are non flushable. There is water located in designated areas. No hookups or dump stations. You have to head towards Bryce Canyon to dump. Garbage is also disposed of off the main road before heading on the road where the campsites located. The hosts were very nice and answered any questions we had. Bugs weren’t bad, but it is a campground mainly used for fishing and people that have side by sides so it can get noisy. If I had a side by side id definitely bring it here to tear up some trails and do disperse camping. Do not I repeat do not take your big rig up Powell Point it will take you awhile to find a spot to turn around and come back down. My grandparents did this with their travel trailer which is 27 in length and they tore up their stairs underneath. All in all I’d stay again.
TravelerFirst of all staff is amazing, so friendly and consistent maintenance routines (not annoying though).
Sites are all gravel with a little grass patch, pull through sites could fit two side by side. All sites seemed to have a table and fire ring. The views on the north and east were stunning, North was all back in and East had some pull through spots, aim for these if you can. They also have tent and cabin sites available.
Facilities were very clean. Office/general store was nice, all the basics; food, ice, wood and souvenirs. Pool is small but well kept. There is a large park area in the center with a playground and volleyball court. Super kid friendly. Bathroom/shower were very clean, a little reminiscent of my scouting days though having plywood doors and gate hinges, does the job though.
Only bad things I can say is that it’s not walking distance to town and no adult beverages sold. Plan ahead and that should not be a problem.
I will definitely stay here again given the chance.
GuideExcellent camping spots. Good road. Plenty of spaces for big rigs. Shade if you want it, open fields for solar if needed. Verizon cell service was excellent. We found a spot a mile up the road that we liked. Quiet. Only saw a handful of other campers for the 2 days we were here. 15 minutes from Bryce NP.
GuideJust off of the main Hwy (24), road is in good shape. No clearance or 4WD needed. Plenty of open spaces for big rigs, we pull a 39ft fifth wheel and had lots of places to choose from. Spectacular views of the backside of Capital Reef Ntl Park. Stayed for a weekend and only saw 2-3 other campers. Perfect place to view the stars and the Milky Way! Great Dark Sky area for photography. Also had great cell service!
ScoutBest grounds for my big rig around. Rode my Goldwing to Bryce Canyon and explored every park around and this is #1 for big rigs. Grounds are well kept. Bathrooms and Laundry are clean. Management is superior and I paid $45 a night. Would stay here anytime. Lots of 40+ foot nice rigs here.
