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.

    FR 090 - dispersed camping

    Lovely!

    Lots if dispersed options and not too close to anyone and only 6 minutes from the Bryce Canyon entrance. We snagged a really flat site too, perfect for tent camping. And the stars! My oh my, I swear the Milky Way was glowing!

    Seaman Wash Dispersed

    Not good for trailers

    So this is a very, very long, box bladed, very smooth dirt road. On either side it looks as if a snow plow has come through and just piled up the dirt. In some places over 2’ high. Near the entrance, there are various places where folks have pulled off into the sand and parked/camped. However, the areas are small and still very bumpy & sandy. There are a few places where it looks like off roaders come for fun, but with all the very prickly underbrush, it’s not very “camping” friendly. The road is VERY long, and I was driving a 2WD van, towing a utility trailer. I turned down the road to scout out a place for us to park our 5th wheel for the night. Eventually the small camping spots disappeared and all there was were walls of dirt on either side with no where to turn around in site. Judging from the map the dirt road went on for a few more miles. I decided not to go any farther as there was zero cell service and my phone went into satellite SOS mode. I’m so thankful I did not get stuck trying to turn around, that would have been a very long walk in the dark back to the main road. I will say that it is very remote, and the road is wide and flat and smooth enough to just park on for the night if you don’t require a camping spot, but DO NOT attempt to pull a trailer in here unless you feel like during all the way to the end to turn around, or want to back allllll the way out. I finally stopped to turn around about 2 miles in, at the cattle guard. I very nearly got stuck in the very soft dirt. I have no idea

    Starlight Camping

    Close to perfect

    We really enjoyed staying at site 22. All the sites are incredibly well maintained and the camp host is so friendly. There’s flush toilets, showers with hot water, a clean place to wash dishes and they provide 5 gallon buckets of water if you want to have a fire (as required by the fire Marshall). It’s a little close to 89 so there’s a bit of road noise, but that’s really not a big deal.

    Duck Creek

    Great campground. Will come back for sure!

    We had a great stay! The campground is well-kept with clean restrooms, and the camp host was super friendly and welcoming. We loved the convenience of having a little town just 5 minutes away for anything we needed. We stayed in Loop A since Loops B and C are under renovation. The only downside was the traffic noise at night/day which can get a bit loud, but overall it was a very nice campground.

    Bryce Zion Campground

    Bryce Zion RV park and campground

    Its a pleasant enough little place. THe 1st couple nights we were here, there were several families with several children. Very loud and made the dogs nervous, but hey- let kids be kids. We weren't sad to see them go. Its the perfect spot situated 1/2 way between Bryce and Zion, we stayed 6 much needed nights. Staff small but extremely friendly and helpful. Nice laundry. Nice bathrooms and showers. Good prices, the store was a bit sparse, but coming on the end of the season, so it's understandable. There is a pool which we did not use. The RV sites are a little crammed together with your neighbors hookups quite close to your RV.
