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.

This was probably the best RV resort that I have stayed in by a huge margin. Everything is brand new and sparkly, they have an amazing lounge and a drive in theater

We arrived here in a winter storm and were very happy to find an open RV park as most campgrounds and other RV parks were closed for the season. We did not need full-hook ups but we were asked to use the RV sites anyways (just not use the power, sewage connections) as the regular sites were not plowed. Lots of snow fell during the afternoon/evening but maintenance person plowed in the morning. Nice hot showers with nice hot pressure in laundry room. Wifi and excellent cell coverage on Verizon, spotty on AT&T. The little town of Escalante has several restaurants, a brew pub, a natural market and a general store. All restaurants were closed though except for Nemo drive-through which had good burgers food to go. A great place to anchor down in a winter storm.

Nothing quaint about Ruby’s RV park but they have everything one might need and offer full hookups for any size RV rig. The best best piece is it’s proximity to the Nat’l park - we would have stayed in the park but all the RV camping was closed in the park. Anyway, it fit the bill and btw for good food go to IDK bbq in Tropic. Just a lost the only good food around Bryce. Bryce Canyon coffee and pastry was good too but everything else we tried in this region was absolutely par or below.
ScoutOverall 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. Preferred 241 as on backside of park and quieter, newer and bigger spot. Shower and laundry facilities in good shape. WiFi not so great but cell service okay for T-Mobile. Conveniently located close to Bryce Canyon, Red Canyon, scenic byways etc.
ScoutThis resort is one of a kind! The staff is so friendly and helpful, the grounds are well maintained, and the food is great! They have a pool, drive in theater with classic cars to sit in, laundry and SPA LEVEL outdoor showers!! They have RV hookups, cabins and Airstreams you can rent. Don’t wait, book your stay today!

Great place to camp that last night in the desert before returning to civilization. Plenty of reservable sites for whatever style camping you prefer. Full hook ups for RVs, toilets, showers, fire rings, place to do dishes, and firewood for sale at a reasonable price, which can be hard to come by in dry places. Sites are reservable.
Its a bummer that many of the campsites are backed up on each other, and it does fill up, so you will probably have neighbors. Tent sites might be a little quieter.
There was an interstingly shaped hoodoo visible from our site. The stars were indescribable, so many and so clear!

This is one of the best RV parks in Southern Utah. It is about 10 minutes from Panguitch, They have a gas station with a snack store plus miscellaneous items, a game room, LOTS of washers and dryers and much more. If you are a person who hates crappy bathrooms, I have stayed here every summer for the past 3 years and I have not found not 1 bug or critter and they don’t smell either. The lot sizes are HUGE! You can stream videos on low quality with the WiFi. There is a playground, and the Staff is the nicest I’ve ever met. Please stay here, they deserve it!

I checked out this RV park as an option for my TT if I needed full hookups for AC. Very close to Dixie NF Red Canyon Recreation area. They have RV sites, cabins and even tent spots. Showers garbage water, RV dump. Good cell signal and a wifi network also.
Guide
Campsites are right near one another, but they are rarely packed full so we had space between sites. Otter creek is beautiful and great for long term fishermen’s Trips. There are huge bathrooms and showers, and a store! Loved our stay. Slightly noisy by the road but nighttime was not loud at all.
Guide
Stayed here for 2 night to see Bryce canyon. Full hook ups, clean spots, Nice staff and the laundry and showers are great.
Ranger
Enjoyed our stay here. Clean, full hook ups, nicely landscaped, with a nice dog run for the pets. Close to the National Park.
Traveler
Very good park in the small town of Hatch, Utah. Clean quiet park with full hookups and all the necessities. Bathrooms and showers were good and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Recreational stuff at the park was good although we were gone during the day visiting local national parks. Can be very windy at times so awnings stayed in the whole stay(4 nights). Pretty level sites on gravel. Perfect location to do Bryce Canyon(45 min) and Zion(90 min to East entrance) We camped at The Riverside Ranch in a Motorhome.
GuideWhen looking to book a campground near Bryce this was ranked pretty high and about 30 minutes away from the park and about 1.5 hours from Zion. Wanting to stay closer to Bryce and now knowing the lay of the land I would have stayed at the Ruby Inn RV Park right outside of Bryce. However, this place was great. You can opt for a riverside site (worth the extra $) and still have hookups to fresh water and 30 amp. Fishing in this little creek was great. Even though the creek was small there were some BIG trout! Super clean and quiet in this vast valley with beautiful sunsets. Free showers and flush toilets were clean. No communal dump station. Sites off the river with full hookups were the only ones with a dump. Great deli inside the market across from the checkin.

This 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!
ScoutThis is the place to go... Just 1 mile outside the park and you can take the Shuttle from there... Some spots are shady and some spots are not... $46 a night for full hook ups... Happy Camping!!
ScoutPerfect size park with full hookups for RVs as well as cabins for rent. Very clean, and has bathrooms with showers. Easy access to Capital Reef National Park. Would definitively come again.
Guide
This is a typical parking-lot style RV park sprinkled with poplar trees and located on the main route through Escalante, tho' we didn't hear any road noise. Bathrooms and showers excellent and spacious. Laundry expensive ($3.50-4.00 per load; perhaps due to water cost). Would have appreciated signage requiring masks in shared areas especially coming into another Corona spike. Owners were friendly. Surface was dusty. Hook-ups were fine for our 17-foot Casita trailer. The Escalante area has tons of great hikes (slot canyons, petrified forests, petroglyphs, views, etc.); park is a good, centrally located option for access.
LegendWe rented a pull behind trailer to tow behind our LR4. We were looking for a clean, established campground with full hook ups, as close to Bryce Canyon NP as a possible. Ruby’s Inn was perfect for that. The spots were nice and level. The showers and toilets were clean. The store had plenty of necessities and the staff was friendly. Lots of restaurants near by and the Bryce Canyon buses stop at the entrance of the campground.
If you are looking for a remote campsite, or at least the illusion of it, this is not the site for you. The sites were easy to get in and out of and there was enough space for 2 vehicles.
Guide
Unfortunately only stayed here one night, wish it could have been longer. This campground is located near a reservoir. We stayed in the RV full hook up site, which seems to be a fairly new added section to this campground. Sites are pretty level and great fire pit and covered picnic area. This campground had thermostat controlled bathrooms and had the cleanest showers I’ve encountered so far. I loved hearing the ducks. The staff at the gate were funny and nice. There are hiking trails here. The reservoir looked pretty low, which I hope was just because of the time of the year. Would definitely stay here again.

This is one of the nicest camp spots around. Close to town but close to the boulder mountains. Full hook ups for trailers. Cabins you can rent, and tent spots. Best views in Utah. If you like red dirt this is the place to be. Close to Capital Reef or the Boulder Mountains. The owners are on site and are very friendly. Lots of stuff to do in Torrey. They have a store on site plus it is close to gas station if you forgot anything.
Make sure you reserve a spot of Apple Days in July it is a fun time to be in Torrey. Lots of stuff going on. This place is busy all summer long so it is best to call ahead. Spring and Fall is amazing in Torrey and is not as hot as the summer months.
LegendHook up, good amenities, close to the national park. We had a nice grassy site between cabins. Overall a good RV park.
LegendThis RV park is located in the quaint town of Torrey. Be sure to visit the Chuck Wagon General Store. It's a gem.
Wonderland is a clean and well organized park run by a gentleman that stays on top of everything, even watering the little patches of grass daily. I have to give a shout out to the management team for their clean facilities. These were the cleanest I've ever seen! The showers were very secure as well. Each was housed in it's own individual unit which required a key code to enter. The laundry was clean and up to date. A quarter more expensive than most I've used lately. If you forget something, there's a little store in the office, but there are 2 gas stations within walking distance if the store doesn't have what you need.
A green pasture runs adjacent to the campground and this made for beautiful pastoral views of the roaming buffalo, cows and horses. There are also cabins, and for the more adventurous, you can stay in an authentic covered wagon!
Full hookups, sites not too close together and they are level. There are some car camp and tent sites with wind/privacy screens and a "sheep" camp too.
The location can't be beat for visiting Capitol Reef. I'll be back for the annual Cowboy Music and Poetry Festival. Great place!
LegendReally nice RV park in the cute town of Escalante. The layout is the same as a basic RV park, with all the RVs lined up in rows in the hard packed gravel lot, but they also have cabins and a tent area.
We stopped here to use their laundry, which is open for use by non-guests. Coin operated but there is a change machine in the laundry room, as well as vending machines for snacks and soaps.
Showers are nice and clean and seem to have been open for use by non-guests as well in the past, but at this time it’s limited to guests only, I’m guessing due to covid.
There is no recycling here, there is firewood for sale, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
We didn’t stay the night here but the cost for an RV site is about $37, which is reasonable.
Good cell service since it’s right in town.

This is one of those RV parks where most spaces are permanently occupied by trailers that will never move from that spot. We checked it out and kept on driving.
Traveler
I have a 42’ motorhome towing a Jeep and found plenty of spots able to accommodate my needs. Plenty of shade, but there are also wide open spots available. Occasional ATV’s but I never found them to be a nuisance. I stayed the full 2 weeks.
You can dump your trash at a rest area just 3 miles towards Bryce Canyon.
You can also dump and fill your tanks for $10 at the Red Canyon RV park 6 miles the other direction.
LegendRuby's Inn RV Park and Campground serves one big purpose. It provides immediate access to Bryce National Park and Canyon. It is as close to the entrance as you can get camping. But it isn't really camping so much as sharing space on the ground with others who want to get up and go explore the park.
Pros: • LOCATION! Next to the park entrance. • FREE Showers: Not only are they free with your campsite but they are hot, clean and unlimited water which after several weeks on the road was pretty awesome. • Wifi - yes...in a campground. But it doesn't really work unless you're close to the main entry. • Since you're not really camping there is a swimming pool. • Never fills up for tent campers except 4th of July week. • Picnic tables in the tent area for dining or resting. • Firepits (kind of. Poorly dug and small but firepits none-the-less.
CONS: • It is more RV Park than Tent camping. Tent campers don't have designated spots just "areas" to congregate. • Ground is mostly sand/gravel (better for RVs) but if you're on the sand watch where you set up camp. Fire ants. • Lots of people.
TIPS: • If tent camping try to find a spot on the left side (as you enter). There is more trees and shade there. Feels more like camping. • There is a full grocery at the Ruby's Inn Best Western next door, and a mini post office. Good stop for filling up the car cooler. • Mossy Creek Trail is part of Bryce Canyon. You can access it without going into the main entrance. It is off HWY 12 and is an awesome short hike to a cave & waterfall. 98% of people just walk to the waterfall. You can follow the river several miles further (we didn't get all the way to the end) and run into more mini-falls and some beautiful scenery all by yourself. You don't even need to pay at the gate. Not sure why more people don't do this.
Ruby's has been around for 100+ years and is still family owned. Despite it not really being camping it is a good place for access to the park and if you have problems you can talk directly to a person and it will get taken care of.
Escalante, Utah, offers a fantastic backdrop for RV camping, with stunning landscapes and well-equipped parks that cater to all your needs.
