9 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Multiple RV parks near Fishlake National Forest provide full-service accommodations for travelers. South Forty RV Park in Marysvale offers 75 full hookup sites with 50-amp electric service, operating from April through mid-October. The park features level gravel pads with adequate spacing for slideouts. "The sites are wide and long enough to accommodate your tow rig, trailer, and SxS," noted one visitor who appreciated the park's trail access. Sevier River RV Park provides pull-through sites with sewer, water, and electric hookups, while Monroe Canyon RV Park features spacious sites designed for larger motorhomes with extra-wide pull-through pads. Junction RV Park presents a smaller alternative with 50-amp service and sewer connections but lacks shower facilities.
During peak summer months, advance reservations are recommended as parks fill quickly, particularly on weekends. Most RV parks in the region maintain on-site dump stations, though availability varies seasonally with many facilities closing between October and April. Cell service can be inconsistent throughout the area, with better coverage near towns and reduced connectivity in canyon locations. Pets are permitted at most parks with standard leash requirements. Several parks provide direct access to ATV trails, particularly those in Marysvale and Monroe. For travelers with larger rigs, route planning should account for mountain roads with occasional steep grades when approaching from the west. Propane refill services are limited, so arriving with full tanks is advisable.
"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."
"Sites are gravel, level and well maintained. Most are pull through. Hookups are in excellent condition. Neighbors could be a little close if the place is full."
"Lovely rustic rv park in a peaceful setting along the Sevier River."

"We didn’t have an electric hook up at our site, and didn’t see many sites that had them. Our site over looked the lake and was a very peaceful campground. Short walk to the trails a long the river."
"We were able to fill our water (both potable and non potable stations!) Great place to do dishes or even wash up... which we did after a week climbing and no lakes/creeks/rivers."
"I spent a week here doing the Paiute ATV trail in 2019. The people I had contact with were friendly. Great rates and gas and convenience store. Full hook-ups and pull throughs. The sites were level."
"FHU, but WiFi is only in the store."
ScoutWe chose this place to park for our first night/ maiden voyage of our bus conversion. The camp host was great. Very easy to book online, was fine with us having a bus. We asked for a different spot upon arrival so we could be close to the southeast playground for our kids, no problem. Full hookups. Clean, home-like bathrooms with showers. Full amenities in the clubhouse.
GuideWe were so happy to get a spot at Fruita Campground in Capital Reef National Park. Unfortunately, in March the bathrooms in our loop were closed/winterized still, so we had to walk to the bathrooms one loop over. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind! The campground is located in the gorgeous orchard, near the Fremont river, and in walking distance to some fun hikes and the historic Gifford Homestead. Keep in mind there is no electric hookup at any sites here. We really enjoyed our stay here.
GuideWe stayed here 3 nights. The park is clean, quiet, and is dog friendly as there are several grass areas to stroll thru, as well as a dog run. The field behind it is very picturesque with the horse and a couple cows, however the 360 mountain views are what catches the eye. Staff and owners are super friendly and accommodating is providing guidance regarding things to do, places to eat etc. There is a gas station with mini store across the highway and the Capital Reef park is just up the road. Premium site was $62 a night and worth the $6 upgrade, has Good Sam discount. Highly recommend
GuidePretty, safe, quiet, clean campground. Clean bathrooms and showers. Pretty view, surrounded by mountains. A few places to walk to see the mountains/views. Showers cost 5 quarters for 4 minutes. One washer and one dryer. Washer is 8 quarters for 29 mins amd dryer is 8 quarters for arouns 45 mins. Stray cats and kittens that live at the campsite. Friendly and cute. I was told the host feeds the cats when they are there and when the host isn't there, the maintenance feed them. Hopefully the cats have somewhere warm and safe to shelter for the cold/snowy months.
ScoutLarge clean park with new improvements. Only drawback might be the payment kiosk was a bit confusing and the layout of the big RV area was a bit ambiguous.
ScoutSpots are flat, easy access, good size and only about 10 miles from Bryce
RangerAmazing amenities at this RV park - gym, laundry, fantastic heated individual bathrooms with a shower and toilet, covered outside area with a gas fire pit and sofas, indoor area with a microwave, couches, tables, games, ice cream, frozen meals and a few other things for sale, extensive playground, wi-fi, and drop dead views. Sites are flat and close together, but that is how these types of RV parks are set up. About 6 minutes to Torrey (gas, restaurants, basic supplies) and 15 to Capital Reef NP entrance.
TravelerRight outside of Torrey for access to food and fuel. Road is hard packed and easy to navigate. Campsites are spaced far enough apart to have some privacy.
TravelerCost effective. Working toilets, water hookups and hot showers for $185 per week on 30 amp. John runs the place with a small staff. Though no instructions are posted, drop your payment through the front door slot. Several cute little budget cabins here and a few long termers up on the hill.
