    Escalante, Utah

    This 62 mile (100 km) drive (one way) runs from Escalante, Utah to the Hole-in-the-Rock on the western shore of Lake Powell following the general route of of the original Hole-in-the-Rock Expedition and is great for Grand Staircase Escalante Camping. Most of the road is in Grand Staircase-Ecalante National Monument, however the last approximately 5 miles are within the boundaries of Glen Canyon NRA. Most of the road on BLM land is passable to high-clearance, two-wheel drive vehicles in dry weather. The last few miles within Glen Canyon are best travelled by foot, bicycle, or four-wheel drive vehicle. There are numerous side-roads that leave this main road. Nearly all of these are only recommended for four-wheel drive. Persons travelling this road should carry plenty of water (at least one gallon--4 liters--per person per day) and be equipped to get themselves out of any difficulty they might encounter. This road is not routinely patrolled by any agency. Temperatures can range over 100° F (38°C) in summer to near 0° F (-17°C) in winter. Sudden heavy rains, especially in summer months may make this road impassable. If you are caught near the end of the road during a heavy storm, you may not be able to make it back to the paved highway, even with a four-wheel drive.

    Camp along the shores of Wide Hollow Reservoir, or rent a canoe, kayak or paddleboard on its clear waters. 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.

    Stunning Views

    Fit my 22' TT without issue. Road is a bit rocky to get into the better sites, but there is a spot right off the turnoff that would accommodate bigger rigs. Woke up to a herd of Elk grazing outside the camper and a gorgeous sunrise. Will definitely stop here again when I'm coming through

    Plenty of space

    A beautiful camp to set up RVs, vans, and tents. Plenty of space. There were several others here and did not feel close to anyone. Fire pits are available, but they are just slightly dug holes with small rocks. Recommend reinforcing the rocks before use.

    Quiet spot, great views

    Calf Creek campground was full and the host told us about this spot. Up a dirt road you end up just below the radio tower. Very private and quiet

    A Night at Escalante Outfitters

    ~$13.50/night to park in the gravel lot. I’ve got a RTT so it worked out perfectly. Full access to shop/restaurant, laundry, dish sink and shower (very hot, which was awesome).

    Covered picnic tables and a communal fire pit nearby. Great alternative to the numerous BLM sites in and around town.

    Private, quiet and great view

    We liked this spot however we could not go in very far due to the fact that our trailer has low clearance. There are a lot of long ruts from water run off.

    There are two dumpsters near the entrance. Area was clean and good cell service.

    Location is ideal for area slot canyons etc.

    Wide Hollow Campground — Escalante State Park

    Close to Escalante UT, lots of stuff in area

    Stayed 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.

    In Transition

    The campground map on their website indicated cable tv on some site, but they do no offer cable tv anymore.  The wifi was the worst I have ever experienced, got there at 3 PM and could not even open an email.  The park was just bought by an LLC and the on-site manager seems to have no authority as once I figured out the cable and wifi situation I requested a refund for my second night so we could move, but he could not make a decision until he talked to his manager the next morning.  I would definitely stay somewhere else until they can improve this location.  They have an indoor pool, but in early October is was closed for the season.  Why have an indoor if you close it that early?  We stayed here 2 years ago and it was better, but will not return again!

    Nice spot but crowded

    Some good some bad. Good: Nice location with good spot to view the valley. Easy to due laundry, Nestled in the red rocks. Bad: very tight spots, overpriced given the lack of amenities.

    Quiet, Secluded, SANDY

    Although the sand wasn’t a surprise, i was shocked at how much it stuck to everything LOL! But the site had lots of dedicated spots for camping and went on the quite a few miles. The view was beautiful, but we were nervous about mountain lions as we noticed a lot of tracks when we arrived, and saw even more next to our car in the morning as we were leaving. The road in isn’t very rough, just lots of sand and small bumps. Would stay here again!

    Accommodating management

    This family run business knows what travelers need and will do whatever possible to accommodate them. I asked for a larger space as I have a rescue dog that’s reactive, and they accommodated me. And as I was getting ready to leave I checked my tires and noticed they were low. The young woman at the front desk called around and found a place where I could get air in them! Super clean bathrooms and showers, with ample washers and dryers, too. All of this and a great location. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

    Loved it

    Very 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

    Nice and open, fairly level

    Open spot with plenty of room and nice bridge view. Shared with truckers who leave their engine running all night, so not for light sleepers. Road noise was minimal overnight. No bathroom. No water. Felt safe.

    This area is close to the summit elevation of Boulder Mt at 9550 elv. A rough rocky road leaves a scenic pull off all g hwy #12 and heads to some Aspen stands and a corral. The best sites are in the vicinity of the corral. Good cell signal, but no water, no dumpsters, however the views are great. In the fall season, the yellow aspens are spectacular.
