Best Tent Camping near Kingston, UT

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.
