"Pick your camping location among the cottonwood trees or out in the open for full solar. No services other than pit toilets (which are still locked in early May). Quiet. Good birding."
"Beautiful view of the lake and mountains."
"It was pretty busy when we arrived so our spot was next to the road.
One bonus: short off-road drive to our spot"
"Plenty of available sites, many drive through. Many could accommodate our 35' motorhome. Among the tall pines yet enough sunlight for solar panels. Four bars of AT&T 4G."
$26 - $140 / night
"Lake has fish. Plenty of off road opportunities.views of Powell Point are within a short drive."
"With 32 sites and multiple additional Group Sites this is a hidden gem near Bryce Canyon National Park.
Some of the best sites are walk in only, but many are reserve-able online in advance."
"It's perfect to visit Bryce Canyon, Red Rock Canyon or enjoy just your stay in a Pine Forest surrounded by Mountains."
"Nice paved bike path right at the entrance of the dispersed camping area. We drove in about a mile on a nice gravel main road. Found a nice secluded spot about 100 yards off the main road."
$16 - $65 / night
"The eight acre Posey Lake is perfect for quiet kayak fishing among the pines and aspens. The campground has state-of-the-art toilets that are kept immaculate and oder-free."
"Honestly this is easily one of my favorite campgrounds, the lake is awesome for fishing. The campground is well taken care of and the water taps are strategically spaced out between campsites."
"This is a very easy place to throw a tent up or park an RV close to lake and good fishing. In some beautiful country.
There are some primitive bathrooms, and nice tables. The campsites are big."
"We camped in our 4Runner and parked just feet from the waters edge, it was gorgeous!! We’d certainly visit again!"
"I went to 2 other locations before finding this one. The road is right off the highway, and has lots of campsites."
"We had one other camper nearby but other than that it was very secluded.
The stars were gorgeous and plentiful and we witnessed a meteor shower in late May."
"Lots of sites, great views trails for hiking and horseback near by"
"Outhouse at trail head just down the road."
TravelerKodachrome basin state park is the place to be if u wanna camp in utah. Where oh where do I begin?! First off, we stayed in BRYCE VIEW campground, #55. This campground is one of a few campgrounds in KBSP. No hookups, but each site has a table and firepit. Pit toilets are available. The thing I like about Bryce view is that its more primitive than the oasis campground, but still close by. The only issue we had at our site was fire ants. Wear closed toed shoes; i got bit and the pain lasted approximately 2 hours. If u have kids, bikes or both- DONT MISS OUT ON THE TRAILS! The grand parade trail leads into 2 box canyons that allow for hours of hide and seek play, kids and adults alike. We spent a couple hours on this trail just exploring the canyons. There is a disk golf course that backs up to BV campground. Also theres a LAUNDRY MAT near the main entrance which was a huge life saver. I loved our site and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
LegendThis small equestrian cg has only 4 large back in spots. Vault toilet but no garbage or potable water. Livestock water in season, but not potable to drink for humans.. Although this is noted as an equestrian site, the Dixie NF website notes that anyone can camp here, no horse required. In season this site is managed by a consessioner. Sites are $14 or $7.00 senior pass. Location is midway between FS Red Canyon recreation area and entrance to Bryce NP. Cell service is very good (2-3 bars lte) on ATT, Verizon and TMobile.
LegendSomething for everyone with this resort campground! We were interested in it for its full hook-up RV area, but you can rent or buy cabins, ride horses, rent boats, off-road vehicles, go fishing, hiking, exporing, or just relax and enjoy the views of Panguitch Lake. There is even an area for special events, such as weddings, family reunions, or parties. Great place to visit if you don't mind spending the money.
TravelerThe road is overgrown and eroded and you’d need a high clearance vehicle to negotiate it. I wouldn’t go there during rainy weather-the road will turn to mud and the site is at the same level as the river.
On the positive, the site is only a short distance away from the highway and you’ll be camping by a beautiful white cliff, among fragrant plantation. It’s also good stopover between Bryce Canyon and Escalante.
GuideWe stayed two nights. There are tons of spots in the area spacious or small depending on your needs. It's perfect to visit Bryce Canyon, Red Rock Canyon or enjoy just your stay in a Pine Forest surrounded by Mountains. There are many ATV trails and bycicle trails, you can do horse back riding or hiking in the vicinity. The temperature is even in the summer cool because of a elevation of 7700 ft. There is a vault Toilet across the Hyw for a "big business". The spots are accessible even with a car. Big rigs would have no problem.
RangerOne of our favorite Utah State Parks. Great walking/hiking trails! We stayed at a site in front of the large group site and it was great until a large group came. Most of the other sites were awesome.
We stayed in the Basin campground with full hookups.
Traveler4 stars because of the road noise.
Second boondock experience for us. Real minimalistic spot; only a fire pit. It was pretty busy when we arrived so our spot was next to the road.
One bonus: short off-road drive to our spot
TravelerPlenty of available sites, many drive through. Many could accommodate our 35' motorhome. Among the tall pines yet enough sunlight for solar panels. Four bars of AT&T 4G. Ten miles to Bryce Canyon visitor center and 9 miles west to the Red Canyon visitor center.
Off-road vehicles are allowed in the area but few passed nearby and none were bothersome.
Great location. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
ScoutWe only got to stay one night in one of the cabins, and definitely wish it was more! The cabin was really cozy and clean. The staff was very friendly at check-in, ensuring we had everything we needed. We watched mule deer out the window for a while and had fantastic views around us. Will definitely be coming back on another trip through Utah!
