Hike along park nature trails through a petrified forest, but remember to take only photographs. Some say the petrified wood is haunted and removing a piece brings the taker nothing but bad luck.

Guide
Launch your boat at the Bullfrog Marina, then pick any spot on the ENTIRE LAKE! We drove a houseboat and moored/anchored in Good Hope Bay, which is a 2-3 hour houseboat ride (averaging 8.4 mph). There were quite a few beautiful canyons that had rock slides and small beaches that you could anchor a houseboat to, but those were all taken up by the time we got there. We kept wandering NE until we found Good Hope Bay, which is a bay that is as large as most Utah lakes (thinking Pineview and East Canyon). This made for ideal skiing and boarding because the bay was large enough to dissipate the waves from the passing boats. The beaches were very rocky and riddled with thorny bushes, but it was bearable in bare feet as long as you watched where you were going. The best part? We were one of only two houseboats in the entire bay, which made us feel like we had the place to ourselves!
GuideNice campground, a good place to stay while you play on the lake!
ScoutHot but fun.
GuideThere is camping all over the place here. I think is is best to get on the water early to beat all the house boats.
LegendJust beyond the Bullfrog marina, there are tons of little coves and canyons just waiting to be explored. Camping is allowed in most of these secluded spots off of the main channel of Lake Powell and offer quiet refuges from the main shores that can tend to get quite busy. We found a wonderful cove that was about a 40-minute boat ride from the marina and were totally secluded in our campsite, minus just a few fishermen that stopped in during the day. This area offers water sports and hiking galore and is ideal for camping with a large group or solo if looking for seclusion. Some drive up campsites exist, but those looking for more privacy and freedom, having a boat is crucial. We had a houseboat and a speed boat which allowed us to have a main home base and the ability to explore. Our group was quite large (20+) so some camped on the houseboat while others slept in tents on the shore. Camping just in sleeping bags and on pads directly on the rocks was a treat under the cloudless starry skies. With that being said, the weather can change quite rapidly at Powell so proper precautions and gear should be taken in preparation for large storms or cold winds. Also, I would recommend wearing some sort of water shoe or sandal, as the Zebra Mussels along the shore can really do some damage on bare feet!
LegendNice shade trees at each site. Well planned. Not too tight. Very clean washroom but no showers. Self-serve accepts Visa card for payment
TravelerNot many trees. Showers work great. Clean campground. There’s a grill at each campground .
LegendThis is a great place to camp close to the lake. Lots of sandy beaches close and lots of fun in Powell. It can get hot so having a place to get out of the sun is key.
Big campsites with a table and nice restrooms. The only problem is in the summer it can be over 100 degrees. This is a great way to see Lake Powell.
GuideThis was a favorite spot on our 2 week trip around the southwest. We were here a week before opening season (the first week of March).
Some people may not like it during this time because it’s a ghost town. For us, it was perfect. No crowds... we had the place to ourselves.
Laundry facilities were clean and views were incredible.
Close drive to the dam, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend.
Pros: tranquil, beautiful, close to nearby attractions Cons: limited hours and dining options during off season, no boat rentals available during off season
TravelerThis RV park is different than the campground that you drive by on the main road on the way in. This is down past the residential area and the lodge by the marina.
Many of the sites were out of order or had problems with their water/and or electric. The men’s wash area only had one working toilet and one working shower. The shower that was working only had a hand held shower head with no mount.
No shade whatsoever, but good views of the marina. Save your money for the big campground on the road and you will have a much better experience
Scout
The property is exclusive and off the grid. Don't forget to look up at the night sky, beautiful star lite.
Guide
This spot is incredible. Airstreams, pull in spots, cabins. AMAZING year round outdoor heater showers, “drive in” movies every night. My kids loved it, I loved it. Great homemade, great for zero days. Highly recommend.
Guide
I reserved site 16, which is described on the Park's website like this:
"Dirt area will accommodate 1 12x12, 1 12x15 and 1 10x12 tent.
Morning shade over table, evening shade over the driveway.
Popular site."
The site was nothing as described. They have clearly been upgrading the service road that borders the site and the construction has had a major impact on this site, which people should be aware of. With room for 3 large tents, I thought this site would have plenty of room for my one tent. I was incredibly upset when I arrived and found the entire site (with the exception of the concrete picnic table pad) is a slope down to the service road. One of the flat areas pictured on the Park's reservation site was covered in some sort of construction debris or a large pile of dirt/mulch. There was nowhere flat to pitch a tent except MAYBE at the bottom section which borders the service road. I stood there in disbelief as I watched a front-end loader and other service trucks rumbled up and down the service road and couldn't imagine pitching my tent a few feet from all that noise. I paid $58 for two nights and was beyond upset to find a campsite with no place to camp.
GuideThe reservoir was looking low but still beautiful. You can rent kayaks there. Trails through petrified forest were interesting especially trails of sleeping rainbows although there were a couple short strenuous spots. I originally booked spot 12, which was listed as not suitable for larger rvs. I have a 18' travel trailer and assumed we could fit but I misunderstood the description. It's really only suitable for very small travel trailers (like 8' long) or vans. We would not have fit our camper and truck in that spot. Luckily lake d was walk up for 2 nights and we stayed there instead. The lake spots are so nice and D in particular had great views of the reservoir and didn't feel as close to neighbors as the other spots. Showers were large, had a bench for putting your stuff.
ScoutVery clean bathrooms and showers. Campground is peaceful with a nice view of the reservoir. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend staying here.
TravelerThe sites were very close together, but to make up for it, trails, petrified forest and, showers for free.
TravelerIt's easy to over look the gem of an area as it sits between the mega attractions of Bryce Canyon and Arches National Parks, but if you do you are depriving yourself of a real treat. This campsite nestles on the side of an inviting reservoir forming an oasis in the dry Escalante Staircase. The lake side pitches are cool and airy, the facilities are clean and modern (free wifi) and the camping fee entitles you to climb the hill behind the camp site and stumble into a jewel like land scape of a petrified forest where it is impossible to take a step without treading on what looks like rubies and sapphires. There's even a full sizes petrified tree laid out in the car park! Nearby there are waterfalls and petrographs and beavers' dams and fossil beds. It's just magic!
GuideWe stayed here for one night during a road trip. We selected it because of the shower facilities. I had stayed here once in the back-up sites (for those who come unprepared without a reservation) and this time we had reserved a campsite. It was very busy with families on spring break but the sites are far enough apart that you don’t feel too crowded.
The showers were clean and large. It was a very nice amenity for our toddler. The shower room is big with an area to hang clothes and another area to shower. This was very helpful with a three year old.
The Visitor Center was not open while we were there, it’s a new building and I don’t believe it was completed yet, but it looks really nice. The trails around the park were a great way to start our morning and they were well taken care of.
Overall, we love this park and would happily stay here again.
GuideVery nice campground, I like the older part much better, the newer one that was added on in 2024, it is not nearly as nice, it’s new but very open and no trees. I had water and electric and shade and privacy. A very relaxing experience! The hiking trail was fun, the rainbow loop is a little tough but well worth it
GuideBeautiful new campground with great site spacing and excellent views. All new facilities nice and clean
RangerStayed in spot 7 which purported to have shade most of the day, but maybe that's just the picnic tables because the parking spot itself was completely exposed. Nice sites around a central bathroom/shower building that was clean, free 8 min showers available. Reservoir appeared closed to boaters so quiet and really not very many sites so decent place to stay without being overrun. Water taps are not easy to spot and basically require a lengthy hose or to park in a neighbor's spot to avail, but we did this stealth and no one was inconvenienced. Overall a pretty quiet and pleasant experience. Petrified forest trail was nice and we did it early in the am, so no one on the trail until we ended and the sun was just on the rise.

This is a New KOA during our stay the had some working being done still, they have just finished the bathrooms and showers, the road was still also being worked on, but was fine to drive in my car. It's very close to the actual park entrance only a few miles away, the wifi is spotty at best, and our electrical on our tent site was not yet up and running, they only had fire would for sale, as they were putting a small store together, and the road noise is not bad but it's right by the main roadway, with that all being said, all can easily be put aside as the VIEW.....AMAZING!!!
The bathrooms and showers had very nice materials in them, they were also putting together the kids playground, I plan to come back next year when hopefully it's complete. For the 3 night stay Under $120 it was perfect, which included our grass site for two tent's a fire ring with grill insert and a picnic table. There's another cool rock structure called Mexican hat which is about 30 minutes east and if you drive a little over an hour you can visit the four corners.
GuidePretty much the only choice in Monument Valley currently due to COVID. Amenities are very nice. This KOA is still pretty new, so the trees are small offering little to no shade. The owner really cares & will do what he can to see that you're satisfied. He lent me am extension cord so I could make coffee since all fires were restricted, (my camp stove is a wood burning SoloStove).
Be warned, lights in the showers are motion sensors, it doesn't quite go black, but it will get darker, just open the shower door to activate.
TravelerWow. We set up our tent and explored the area. But this campground was incredible. The bathrooms are so clean, they’re practically brand new. We watched the most beautiful sunset over the landscape. Be warned - there’s a very friendly wild dog that likes to say hello. At least while we were there. She friendly and just wants some company. She did bark at night though with a few other dogs. Nothing to be concerned about. This area is so desolate it’s breathtaking.
LegendWe were able to stay on the short pull through row& got a view to die for! Those with small class c, truck camper& tent sites got the front row, which is completely unobstructed. Road noise at night was not an issue. There are big rig sites too. The bath house looked brand new. Very clean. New laundry room too. Very nice, courteous staff.
This campground has an outstanding view of Monument Valley! Due to covid Monument Valley scenic drive was closed. We didn't feel we missed much. Every night a spectacular sunset. Every morning a fabulous sunrise. This is a low light campground, so a star filled night sky not tainted with mercury vapor lights. We used this as a base camp for the area& were not disappointed. I enthusiastically recommend! We camped at Monument Valley KOA Journey in a Travel Trailer
RangerThis KOA is located right across the road from soem of the manor buttes in Monumewnt Valley, right in the heart of Navaho Country. We discovered this campground on our first trip to the American Southwest post COVID. This facility is newly owned and very well updated by way of lavatories, showers and laundry facilities (immaculate). The owners are extremely friendly and connected to the guests. All the sites have full hookups and there are additional services provided on the site such as jeep rentals, Navaho tours and horse rides. We are satisfied with the accommodations and would come again if wevever re-visit this area. Very nice maangement!
GuideThis is a very new, very small KOA. Trees are newly planted and sites are SMALL. If you like your front yard to contain your neighbors "poop-shoot", water line and electric box, then this is for you. With all the open land, it's too bad this campground couldn't double (or triple) the site sizes. Staff seem great but camping is about being outdoors and enjoying nature. I don't want to feel like I'm living in an apartment when camping. This campground just wasn't for us.
