Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. In some popular dispersed camping areas, camping is limited to designated sites only. Dispersed camping is free, therefore no services; such as trash removal, and little or no facilities; such as tables and fire pits, are provided.
There are extra responsibilities and skills that are necessary for dispersed camping. It is your responsibility to know these before you go camping. Camping rules and regulations apply to make your experience safe, and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers.
Rules for Dispersed Camping Motorized vehicle use for the purpose of dispersed camping is only allowed 150 feet from any designated route to limit resource damage. Use existing campsites. Groups of over 75 people, who wish to use the forest, need to obtain a special use permit. There is no fee and permits can be obtained at the nearest Forest Service Office. You need to be self-contained. No amenities are provided; such as water, restrooms or trash cans. You may camp in a dispersed area for up to 16 days. After 16 days, you must move at least 10 miles for camping in another dispersed area. Please place your campsite at least 200 feet from any stream or other water source. Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite and rest areas for trash or spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food, and litter. Follow Leave No Trace principals. Contact a local Forest Service office to see if any fire restrictions are in place.
$15 - $40 / night
This site is on the Riggs Spring Loop 1.6 miles (2.6 km) from Rainbow Point. There is reliable water in the stream below the pumphouse that is just below the campsite. There are Aspens, Ponderosa Pines and Blue Spruce at the site as well as good views of the pink cliffs and out into the Grand Staircase.
*Bear Canister required and storage site for it.
Beautiful campsite on your way to pine lake
$35 / night
Nice KOA with great camp sites. Beautiful panoramic Mountain views. Nice place to bring the family. Campfires highlight the interesting landscape. The sunrise on the mountainside was absolutely beautiful! The colors were amazing! We camped in a tent site, but there are RV and cabin sites available as well. There’s a little convenience store where wood is available. Very clean and lovely place!
What a great little campground! We tent camped here after arriving in Escalante late one evening. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Our site was roomy and flat: everything you want a tent site to be. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were amazing! We didn’t use the laundry facilities but they are available. We were able to park our VW Beetle right next to our tent pad. We were in the site farthest away from the bathroom/shower but only had about a 30 yard walk to get to them. The showers were so great, we returned to the campground a day after we left the area and paid a small fee to use them again after a night of backpack camping. The multi-agency Grand Staircase Escalante visitors center was next door on on side and a CV store and restaurant was on the other. The Harris Wash/Zebra Slot Canyon trailhead was about 8 miles east and made for a very enjoyable half day hike. Everything was very clean and well kept. Very pleasurable stay and will definitely stay there again when we return to the area!
We stayed here for about 68$ for two nights, if I remember correctly. For that price, can’t complain about much. There are showers, although they are far away from the tent sites. The tent site bathrooms are porta Jon’s, with no hand sanitizer. And the tent sites are not easily maneuvered, it’s kinda hard to tell where each site ends. But hey, there are showers. Another con is the highway noise is very loud.
Tent site are not marked. The map is incorrect that is given to you. Clean bathrooms and showers. Walking distance to general store and gift shop. The two things keeping it from 5 stars is the unmarked tent sites and (in my opinion) the people are weird in the area
Tent camping is first come first serve, we arrived about 5:30 and was able to get a spot pretty easily however as we watch people arrive later there were less spots with fire pits and picknic tables. If you will be arriving late this may not be the spot for you. However the site did have showers and a cool conievence store. Overall a nice site just have to get there earlier if you are tent camping
Got a tent site at Ruby’s for a night. It’s all that you’d expect from an RV Park; toilets, showers, laundromat, pool, etc. The tent sites are condensed to two open areas where all tent campers must squeeze into. You’re not guaranteed a fire pit or picnic table, so there’s that. It is located right outside Bryce Canyon NP entrance, making it very convenient to come and go. Overall a good experience.
Particularly challenging for those who camp in tents due to the uneven grading and poor site maintenance. Loops C & D are for tents except in the off season where allRV's and tents are lumped together in Loop A--- or A & B --- which is a loop best suited to RV's. Many tent sites are very small.
Flush toilets are good in this campground.
If you are in a tent, problems abound in this campground. Decent tent sites in Loop D are 93, 95, 97,98,99, 101. D is better than Loop C.
I stayed in a tent site. Can hike right from campground.
I tented here so can’t speak for RVs. Nice tent sites, trees around. Bathroom and shower is clean.
Tent camped with an amazing meadow view. Trails from camp to the visitor center and trail heads. Shower and restroom facilities available. Definitely recommend!
I drove through just to check out the tent camping. They really pack them in there. I would not enjoy being so close to other campers. Feels unnatural.
Spacious spots with trees all around. We tent camped. All spots pretty flat. Tables and fire rings at each site. Very short drive to the lake.
Poor grading for tent sites. Tent sites are in Loop B and Loop C.
Many sites have no privacy. Many sites are poorly graded and badly sloped which is not critical for RV's but is a problem for tents. Loop C is slightly more desirable than Loop B.
B 269 & 268 seem fairly level, but across the road sites 270, 267, 266, 264 are very sloped.
Loops B & C have very small parking pads...bring your VW to park in Loops B & C
In Loop A many sites get wet in bad weather but for RV's that may not matter.
toilet facilities are decent.
Easy in and out basic campground. Check in at the Chevron station General store where you can buy wood take showers use flush toilet. Tent camping area is fairly open and there is some highway noise.
Went early November and the weather was a little cold. This campground is smaller which I prefer and quiet. Very dark at night time. Good camp site for tent camping. Gravel road to get to the site.
Heavily treed to give a sense of privacy. Tent sites are well thought out. Convenient to the Rim Trail, which gives access to many others.
I tent camped at Duck Creek in Aug. 2020. It was cool and fresh. I could’ve camped around Kanab but an elk bowhunter in a bar in Alpine AZ recommend Duck Creek instead because Kanab would be hot.
The tent site were a little tight for our camper van so they pro rated us the tent price for the first night. Very clean showers and bathrooms. Washing machines and dryers available for a fee in an air conditioned room. Very friendly staff!
Everything we needed: tent site, toilets, water, great views
Additions: close by beach & great morning views!
Note: we got caught in major winds which turned our tent into a tumbleweed, followed by terrific lightning storm. (We slept in the car that night)
This was our first time tent camping and this couldn’t have been a better place to do it. The amenities were great and they had clean bathrooms. All the sites have fire rings, and the general store has everything you need that you may not have thought of as a first-timer.
This is a large campground in a wooded area offering shade and some privacy. There are 50 RV sites, 50 tent sites and 1 group site. No water, sewer or electric. Great proximity to the trails of the main park.
Booked this site for the same day around 5PM! Had a huge tent site and warm showers were a huge plus. We stayed in September and by the middle of the night it was about 20 degrees so bundle up!!
The campground is indeed right at the gateway road to Bryce Canyon. There is a shuttle stop right at the entrance (need a park pass to board). Tent sites are first come, first served and some lack shade, so plan arrival time accordingly.
We tent camped in this campground and it was wonderful. Beautiful, quiet, and the bathrooms were cleaned every day at noon. There’s a laundry mat on site and a small playground and dog park. The best RV spots with full hook ups was 39-43. Partial hook ups 12-14. We’ll definitely be back!
Your basic campground, tent sites, RV sites with full hook ups, walk in sites and some group sites. Nice views of Lake Powell and the sandstone. Close to Page if you need to stock up on anything go there. Flush toilets and running water in bathrooms, which are cleaned daily. Outdoor sink for dishes and water in tent sites. There is one swim beach accessible from the campsite but it is 3/4 of a mile walk just from the beach parking lot and downhill on sand, not super fun to get to with a stroller, 2 toddlers, and all the beach gear. Definitely would be a more fun location if you plan on renting a motor boat or jet ski otherwise it is hard to get much of a lake experience. Make reservations online in advance!
This was a great camp spot for us but we were tent camping and the temperature got in the low 20s so bundle up. The road getting there is in pretty good shape and the night skies are beautiful. Fire rings all around for different spots. Highly recommend this if your looking for a spot to stay.
Like this whole area, the geology and views are beautiful. Take the scenic drive any time of year. Pretty small campground area. We couldn’t get a tent site away from an RV though :( Nice basic accommodations, very clean. So many scout groups but still quiet.
