Best Campgrounds near Joseph, UT

464 Reviews

Joseph, Utah and the surrounding Sevier Valley provide several camping options, with both established campgrounds and dispersed sites available throughout the area. Flying U Country Store & RV Campground lies right in Joseph, offering tent and RV sites with full hookups, while Sevier River RV Park features cabins and waterfront tent areas in nearby Sevier. Both established and primitive camping opportunities exist within reasonable driving distance, with Mountain Mecca offering free dispersed camping for those seeking a more rustic experience. The region's campgrounds generally accommodate a mix of tents, RVs, and in some locations, cabin rentals.

Road access varies across the camping areas, with most established sites accessible via maintained roads suitable for standard vehicles. Weather conditions change significantly with elevation and season in this part of central Utah. "Danny was an amazing host. Assisted in finding the place after hours. And offered eggs from his chickens on site. Place has a nice river and the views were amazing. The snow covered mountains offered an amazing view and a nice hike," noted one camper about Sevier River RV Park. Winter camping is limited in some areas due to snow and cold temperatures, while summer brings warmer conditions ideal for outdoor recreation. Many campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though services may be reduced during winter months. Cell phone coverage can be spotty in more remote areas, particularly in mountainous terrain away from main highways.

Campers frequently mention the mountain views as a highlight of staying in the Joseph area. The nearby rivers provide fishing opportunities, with several reviews noting success catching trout. Sevier River RV Park receives consistently positive feedback for its riverside location and friendly management. One visitor described it as having "RV spots, cabins and beautiful tent areas right next to the river." The area's camping options range from more developed sites with full hookups and amenities to simpler settings with minimal facilities. For those interested in regional attractions, Fremont Indian State Park lies within driving distance and offers additional camping options. Most established campgrounds in the region require reservations, particularly during peak summer months when availability becomes limited.

    United Beaver Camperland

    Good

    Showers were good, expensive for $33 a night for a tent. Nothing nice just a place to sleep next to a bunch of RVs and trailer park style houses. Laundry available

    Richfield KOA

    Nice, conveniently located KOA

    We needed an overnight stop after heading south from the Heber Valley. We arrived at the KOA just as the office was closing but the staff member showed me the after hours sites I could pick. We picked a site in a sunny area in what seems to be a newer area of the park. The pool is closed for the season and the staff member mentioned the park closes for the season soon. The real draw of this park seems to be people with ATVs (not us) as there is a gate at the back for trail access. More important to me were clean bathrooms and a quiet area. It is far enough off the highway that there is no road noise.

    Great spot just off the HWY

    Pulled about 3/4 mile back from the coordinates, into the trees. Quiet and beautiful

    Lizzie & Charlies RV-ATV Park

    Great Stay and Perfect Access to Trails

    We stayed a week and loved it. Most sites are pull-through with full hookups, which made setup easy. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The park is in a great location for SxS trail access. Laundry room and showers onsite were clean and convenient. Highly recommend this place and definitely looking forward to coming back.

    Wagons West RV Campground

    Friendly couple manager

    We liked our site close to every thing. Lots of full timers and ATVs. Laundromat is open to locals so lots of traffic but clean, well kept. Food truck next door. Good for overnight on way to Zion

    Meadow Hot Springs

    Fantastic Find in a Farmer’s Field

    Warm, clear water in a field. this a great spot. We had to park in the main “lot” because the road was too rough. No trash. Donate and please keep it clean!

    Big John Flat

    Very large open camping area with open meadows and large trees. Great place to camp if you are planning to drive the Tushar road to Fremont. Saw a few larger trailers there. Road in is fairly smooth an occasional bump to slow down for. Deer and cows around the area. A lot of room between campsites.
