Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Kanab, UT

Kanab RV Corral's dedicated dog park offers a clean, grassy space for pets to exercise off-leash while camping in Kanab. This pet-friendly facility provides full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, though sites are relatively close together. The park maintains clean bathrooms and showers with recent updates to facilities. While primarily serving RVs, the campground originally accommodated tent camping on paved pads but no longer allows tent camping as of 2024. Dogs are welcome throughout the property with standard leash requirements outside the designated dog area. The swimming pool provides seasonal recreation for human guests while the central location puts campers within walking distance of Kanab's restaurants and shopping.

Grand Plateau RV Resort and Crazy Horse RV Resort both welcome pets with similar amenities, including dedicated pet exercise areas. The Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park Campground allows pets year-round while offering electric hookups, showers, and picnic tables. Bathrooms at these facilities remain exceptionally clean, with some guests noting they feel like "rustic spas" after long hiking days. Some campgrounds enforce road-adjacent sites that may create noise concerns for dogs sensitive to traffic sounds. For budget-conscious travelers with pets, Mt. Carmel Old 89 Dispersed Camping offers free camping with pet access but no amenities, requiring self-sufficiency for water and waste management. Most campgrounds enforce standard pet policies including leash requirements outside designated areas, waste pickup requirements, and restrictions on leaving pets unattended at campsites.

    Ponderosa Grove Campground

    Great location

    20 minutes from Kanab, 40 minutes from Zion, and 90 minutes to Bryce Canyon this location gives you options. Only $5 a night, there are 28 campsites and additional groups sites available. Not sure many people know about this place, but I stayed here 3 nights and there were still spots available each night. There is a dumpster, but no trash cans, please leave no trace.

    Crazy Horse RV Resort

    The Perfect 10-Day Stay at Crazy Horse RV Resort!

    I recently stayed at Crazy Horse RV Resort in Kanab, UT for 10 days and had an absolute blast! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home—they were welcoming, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces. The resort itself is loaded with amenities that made our stay so enjoyable. The pool was the perfect temperature—so refreshing after a long day of exploring the trails nearby. Our pets stayed free(a huge bonus!), and the dog park was fantastic. Having the dog wash station right there was such a lifesaver after dusty hikes—it made traveling with our pups stress-free. There’s never a dull moment around Crazy Horse. The resort is close to so many incredible attractions—like the Sand Caves, Belly of the Dragon, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and of course Zion National Park. It was the perfect hub for adventure, but also a relaxing place to come back to at the end of the day. Between the friendly staff, the clean and well-maintained facilities, and the unbeatable location, this was easily one of the best RV resorts we’ve ever stayed at. We’re already planning our next trip back!

    Mammoth Creek RV Resort

    Spacious, Grassy, two sided dog park. Breed Inclusive!

    This is a Great place! I love that they are pet friendly and not breed restrictive. I have a pit mix (who's just a big ole teddy bear) and you know how that can often make travel and lodging difficult.  I love that he is welcome here. They have a big grassy dog park for him to run and play in, he loves running in the sprinklers! Its two sided and completely fenced in so large and small breeds can have their own safe space to play in. I really appreciate the picnic benches to sit on for the parents. For me this is a huge benefit and I recommend this park for any pet owner!

    BLM Road #71 Gravel Pit Dispersed - BLM

    Awesome place to camp but…MAJOR issue…

    One of the most beautiful disbursed campgrounds we've seen, plenty of space, quiet, privacy and with stunning 360 views. Highly recommend this place. We felt super safe here too.

    HOWEVER, the main access road (second dirt road on the left off the broken paved road) to most of the places for camping is currently, May 8, 2023, under a few feet of water and impassable except for serious 4-wheelers.

    There are a limited number of spaces right off the broken paved road though. We lucked out and snagged a place right off the broken paved road at the second dirt road on the left, further down not passable.

    The broken paved road (BLM Road 71) is on the left about 5 miles from Kanab right off highway 9 going towards Zion NP. It’s easy to miss so keep an eye out as it’s unmarked.

    The broken paved road is easily accessible by pretty much all vehicles. We had no problem with our 27 foot Class A and our friend’s 24 foot Class C. Just go slow and you won’t have a problem.

    Beautiful, beautiful place!

    Grand Plateau RV Resort

    Fabulous campground

    We've stayed here probably four times previously and have always had a wonderful experience. Sites are long and wide, gravel. There's a pool which looks very nice, but we've never used it. Bathrooms are immaculate, some of the nicest we've ever used at a campground. There's also a playground and a dog park. Lots of good shopping and restaurants in Kanab. We will definitely be back!

    Basin Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park

    Beautifully Quiet Camping Spot

    This is one of our favorite spots to camp in Utah. It's fabulously close to Bryce Canyon NP and a reasonable distance from Zion NP and Grand Staircase Escalante. Kodachrome is also a good destination in itself. Campsites are surrounded on three sides by beautiful cliffs and mountains and there are plenty of trails to hike and explore. We'll be back here again!

    Dark Sky RV Park & Campground

    Wonderful camping experience

    Dark Sky Campground provides a unique camping experience from the start of your stay to the end. The owners have thought each detail through. You are welcomed by a host that is friendly and helpful. Your camping spot is private and clean with wonderful views of Utah. The campground amenities, like the laundry and the market, work on the honor system. The dog park worked well for us and gave our large dogs an opportunity to stretch their legs. Every Thursday evening the owners host a dinner for the campers. We enjoyed pizza and ice cream with a choice of beverages during our stay. The owners were readily available during the dinner and were eager to hear about your favorite experiences and gave great recommendations for more positive experiences to come. We are already thinking about another camping trip to Utah so that we can stay at Dark Sky again!

    St. George / Hurricane KOA Journey

    Red Cliffs Hiking

    This KOA is located about ten minutes outside of St George and right off the I-15 freeway. It was all the amenities that your typical KOA has; dog park, hookups, cabins, and store. The best part of this KOA is its proximity to Red Cliffs National Conservation Area which is about a mile away. This National Conservation Area is surrounded by towering red cliffs that have miles of hiking trails through them. It's a great place to spend the day exploring. 

    The only downside is the traffic noise on the I-15 at night. But if you are in your RV or van you will hardly notice it. This is a good campground for any trip to Zion or the surrounding area. 

    Cell Service: Good
