Best Campgrounds near Henrieville, UT

Camping in Henrieville, Utah centers around access to Bryce Canyon National Park, Kodachrome Basin State Park, and nearby dispersed sites in Dixie National Forest. The area features a mix of established campgrounds with modern amenities like North Campground in Bryce Canyon National Park and Ruby's Inn RV Park, alongside free dispersed camping options on Forest Road 117 and Forest Road 090. Accommodation types range from basic tent sites to full-hookup RV pads, with several locations like Bryce Canyon RV Resort offering cabin options for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.

Road conditions vary significantly between paved park roads and rougher forest service routes leading to dispersed sites. Many established campgrounds require reservations, particularly during the peak season from May through October. "The campground is close to several trails in the park and is also close to horseback riding trails if you're interested in that," noted one visitor about Basin Campground at Kodachrome Basin State Park. Elevation differences between campgrounds affect temperature ranges, with evening temperatures often dropping significantly even during summer months. Cell service is limited or non-existent at many camping locations, with visitors noting that WiFi is only available at visitor centers or in nearby towns.

Basin Campground at Kodachrome Basin State Park receives consistently high ratings for its modern facilities and scenic setting. As one camper described, "The bathrooms are gorgeous! The showers, the toilet stalls, it's just a fancy five-star hotel experience." Several visitors mentioned the spacious, well-maintained campsites that provide privacy and outstanding views of the surrounding rock formations. Dispersed camping areas on forest service roads attract those seeking more solitude, though these primitive sites lack amenities. The region's camping options provide varying levels of access to popular hiking trails, with several campgrounds serving as convenient bases for exploring Bryce Canyon's iconic hoodoos and the less-crowded but equally striking formations of Kodachrome Basin State Park.

    East Zion RV Park

    I see rough reviews but I loved this place

    Is it close to Hwy 89, yes, is the Thunderbird Lodge closed on Wednesday and Thursday and maybe not there to help immediately, yes. This is a small town but the facility is awesome, when staff is not there they answer the texting options they communicate with you very quickly and I really didn't notice the traffic noise as RV's are hardly sound proof.

    While there we visited Zion, Bryce, Navajo Lake, Corral Pink Dunes, how central do you need to be to get a great review here. Very clean and well kept up, executive golf course (it took me a bit to recognize what 89 & 9 meant, call me slow), pool and spa, store, and you can't leave without trying a "Ho"made pie.

    Arch Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park

    Amazing Views at a Baby Bryce Park

    Utah State Parks near National Parks are hidden gems. They’re dog friendly unlike National Parks and like Kodachrome, share a lot of the beauty but without the crowds.

    There are plenty of hikes for all levels here.

    We spontaneously decided to see if there were any openings at the visitor center and got the last dry camping spot in an overflow area. It was fine for a night.

    Vault toilets are spotless. Water is available at campsites and there are many fhu sites. Super quiet and peaceful.

    Your camp fee includes admission fee not the park. There’s no cell in the park but the wifi at the visitor center is some of the best we’ve experienced in a very comfortable setting— babbling water feature, swinging lounge chairs and a gas pit fire.

    Slick Rock Overlook Outside of Boulder

    Access beyond the parking lot is now blocked

    We attempted to camp here, but the road leading out to the edge of the canyon is now blocked. All That Remains is a very large gravel parking lot about 30 feet off Highway 12.

    Hell’s Backbone Road - Canyon View Dispersed

    Stunning view. Stunning sunset.

    This site has multiple sites with fire rings. Some are tucked back in the pine trees. Others are on the edge of the canyon. We were fortunate enough to camp here for two nights with spectacular sunsets both nights. The first night we were alone, the second night there was one other large party. Very quiet, very beautiful

    Horse Camp Near Belly of the Dragon Trail

    Cool spot

    We camped right next to the creek which is beautiful. Dead bird in the creek though and a spine of another animal. Lots of areas to camp for tents, car camping and rv/travel trailers. Just don’t get stuck in the sand!! Overall a really cool spot.

    Daves hollow dispersed camping

    Large secluded sites. We got a decent cell phone signal and were able to hotspot our electronics to the phone. We scouted the road with our jeep before driving our class c into the unpaved roads. I suggest that if you're able to.

    State Line Spot Dispersed Camping — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

    Top Spot near Page

    Top spot. We were completely alone with our motorhome, surrounded by mountains. The area is spacious and offers several spots; we really enjoyed the night. We didn't have an internet connection with T-Online. Access is via a gravel road and is easily manageable even with a 2WD vehicle up to the first spots. For spots further away, you should have a 4WD.

    Uinta Flat Dispersed

    Top Spot

    A prime spot. We weren't alone with our motorhome, but the area is so huge that everyone found their own little private space. We really enjoyed the night. We had internet access via T-Online. Access is via a dirt road and is easily manageable even with a 2WD. In the morning, we saw numerous deer.
