  Bryce Canyon RV Resort by Rjourney

  Super cool campground

  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!

  Castle Rock Campground — Fremont Indian State Park

  Cozy and quiet.

  Tent camping at site 23. $20 for a tent site ($40 for a double site). Cool area to explore. Fire pit and a faucet with a bucket. Bathrooms close by. $5 for a bundle of wood. Nice little spot!

  Canyons of Escalante RV Park

  Great Tent and RV Campground

  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!

  Bryce Canyon Pines Campground

  Meh

  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.

  Lizzie & Charlies RV-ATV Park

  friendly campground

  I spent a night at a tent site here. There were all 5 Sites available. Toilets and showers are just next to the tent sites.

  I arrived without reservation and ten minutes before office closing time, still was made feeling welcome.

  Ruby's Inn RV Park and Campground

  Huge RV park with some tent camping

  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

  Ruby's Inn RV Park and Campground

  Tent camping

  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

  Ruby's Inn RV Park and Campground

  What you’d expect

  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.

  North Campground — Bryce Canyon National Park

  Not so good for tent campers

  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.

  Thousand Lakes RV Park

  Outside Torrey

  We got a tent site. The tent sites are all gravel with a table and water. The good: Location close to Capitol Reef National Park. We used it as a base camp for hiking in the national park. Has water, table, fire pit, and wind break. The small swimming pool was loved by the kids The grassy park area was nice. The views. Red cliffs and Thousand Lakes Mountain to the north and Boulder Mountain to the south. The bad: Not enough trees. There are several small very pruned Cottonwood trees, but it is not a shady place. Small spaces. Like most RV parks, you are very close to your neighbors. Everyone near us was quite and kind though. There is no grass for the tent sites. You put your tent in gravel. About the only grass is very small pieces for the RVs and the grassy park area.

  Sand Creek RV, Cabins, Tents

  Close to Capitol Reef and Cooler!

  Sand Creek is 15 miles from Capitol Reef and 1,500’ higher - much cooler. Good wi-fi, showers, bathrooms and laundry. Firewood and ice are available for purchase. The grounds have not been maintained like they were two years ago in 2019, but that may be due to the drought. Sand Creek has simple reasonable cabins along with 6 tent sites and maybe 8 or 9 RV sites.

  Capitol Reef has a great campground but it often fills up. This is a great alternative for $22 a night for a tent site.

  Sunset Campground — Bryce Canyon National Park

  Scout it out if you can

  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.

  Sunset Campground — Bryce Canyon National Park

  Particularly poor grading

  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.

  Great campground

  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.

  Bryce View Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park

  Kodachrome

  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.

  Cove Fort Chevron Subway

  RVs only. No tent camping.

  RV pull through sites right off the highway with full hookups. No tent sites. Nothing sexy here, just good spot to spend the night in your RV if you're traveling through.

  Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

  Great campground, awesome amenities

  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!

  Beaver KOA/ Bryce Canyon

  Nice gravel campground

  Be sure to read the map, the spots are adequately marked, but there is very little grass except what is in the tent sites. There are plenty of dog bag and garbage cans. Very quiet place out of the city.

  Ruby's Inn RV Park and Campground

  Amazing site and amenities!

  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.

  Huge sites, all the amenities and super close to the entrance of Bryce Canyon!

  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!!

  Right at the entrance

  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.

  Most Inexpensive Tipi I've Seen

  Got to stay in a rad tipi site for only $30! They had firewood available by the bundle for $5/armload. Tent sites are $15 and extra cars are $10. It's about a mile from the Fremont Indian State Park and the surrounding area is pure magic.

  Kents Lake Campground

  Lake front

  Beautiful location with endless summer mountain activities. Water taps and vault toilets, no hook ups. Mixed pull through, back in, and tent sites. Perfect for under 30' campers. The area has several lakes, ATV trails, hiking trails, and scenic drives. Lakes have trout, some allow small motorized boats.

  Canyons of Escalante RV Park

  Quiet location in Escalante

  This is an older, smaller RV Park that has several cabins and a few tent sites. The RV sites are typically pull through and both 30 AMP and 50 AMP are available. Nothing hyper here, but a well maintained park with nice restrooms and showers and a laundry. Located next door to a recommended restaurant and within a half mile of Escalante Outfitters - Espresso, Pizza, Salads and books and gear for your Utah Canyons adventures. Also a half mile to the Official Visitor Center: BLM, NPS and USFS - to answer all your wandering questions.
