Best Campgrounds near Lake Powell, UT

Great views. Acres of space. We stopped in the first area in the right on Hole in the Rock Road. Only a few other campers. So much space you’re quite private. Fire pits and levelish plots. Nicely placed between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef. Lower altitude than Dixie State Forest brought us here otherwise we were facing temperatures well below freezing. Great Verizon signal.

Great sized camping area so you have plenty of space between you and your neighbor. There is an upper shelf of campsites about 100 yards from the water at the edge of a gentle slope. There is a whole other camping area below if you want to literally be on the water. I didn't want to risk the drive down because the sand seems a little bit looser. 

The drive down from the road to the beach is very hard packed in most areas, and can easily be done in a 2WD as long as you are aware of where you are going and don't get into the wrong spots. No bumps at all. 

There is a bunch station with water and sewer on the way in which is a great bonus for this dispersed style of camping. Cost is $14 a night so it's not free BLM, but that keeps the masses away.

Very quiet and not busy this time of year. Had 5 G and 2 bars with Verizon.

This is a nice spot just outside Page The turning isn't marked if you're driving in the dark and it's a bumpy drive to the camping spots There was only room for two vans max, thankfully we were the only ones Nice views in the morning We were passed by a few vehicles going off roading

Great place to spend a night, with few trucks and little road noise.

A bit bumpy on the dirt road to the site, but we managed our 30ft RV ok and enjoyed a quiet night tucked just off the dirt road

Very quite, Camped in a Tesla doing a road trip and this was very close to the city of Page, and Glen Canyon NRA! $14 for a camping permit you can use the kiosk machine if after hours. You pick and choose your spot anywhere you want on the beach! Just be cautious of areas of sand but most of the beach is easy to drive on! There are Park police the roam the area and where very helpful if you had questions!

Quiet spot with a few firepits and great views. Weak to absent cell connection.

Very nice campground. Clean. Is as described---no electric or RV hookups. Most picnic tables have shade structures and there are privacy barriers between many of the campsites. There are flush toilets(!!) and bathroom has lighting. There are no showers. There is no soap but there was an air hand dryer. I see some complaints about the bathrooms but man, I am always delighted when there are clean(and these were) flush toilets after many, many campsites with pit toilets. The camp host said the bathrooms are cleaned every day.

The river is right below the campsite. You can hear it at night (once the generators for the RVers go off). Be sure to check out the trails down by the Lees Ferry boat landing. We saw big horn sheep on the river trail. Close by in the other direction is Cathedral Wash trail. wow, wow, wow. It is challenging in that there are 3 points where one needs to climb down (then back up) a 30 ft drop in the wash. Lots of hikers on the trail. The walk down the wash is magical because as you descend you are going through the layers of sediment that you can see in the Vermillion Cliffs. Also, take time to check out Navajo Bridge Monument. The condors hang out on the bridge structures. You will be able to capture amazing pictures.

Big open land with a choice of roads to find your spot. Some minimal highway noise but it didn’t bother us. The road in is a bit bumpy but our Class C had no problem. Definitely recommend a stay here.

We decided to take a trip and see Jacob Hamblin Arch. The best way for us to do that was to camp at Sooner Rock and repel down the canyon from Water Tanks. This place is amazing!!! The trip to get there was not easy! The road is VERY rough There are two washes that will make you question your life decisions, but you can make it with a little skill and some determination. I pulled a 21' travel trailer down Hole in the Rock Road with a half ton Chevy, the trip took 5hrs at 5-15mph depending on the road conditions. If you are faint of heart this one may not be for you. We saw a heard of cows and cowboys on the road that we literally had to wait for (there were hundreds of cows). The camping at Sooner is remote, silent, and very dark at night. We went in May and the cactus were in bloom. This is the most amazing place I have ever seen in my life (coming from someone who lives in Wisconsin). The sunrise and sunset are unlike anything I have ever seen. Its like being on different planet. The space at Sooner leaves plenty of room to camp and the access road while single track isn't too bad to navigate as its only a few hundred yards from Hole in the Rock Road. If you like an adventure this one is for you! 

The name Sooner Rock comes from cowboys. The phrase is "I’d sooner be home than out in this forsaken region", which is exactly the opposite of how I felt!

A beautiful camp to set up RVs, vans, and tents. Plenty of space. There were several others here and did not feel close to anyone. Fire pits are available, but they are just slightly dug holes with small rocks. Recommend reinforcing the rocks before use.

Bumpy dirt road going in. Large area with plenty of private dispersed camping spots.

Worst imaginable experience.

Staking in the tent was almost impossible. Apart from sharp gravel for a base, it nearly seemed like concrete to get a stake in. After bending four thick, steel stakes to barely get them in the ground, a gust of wind blew the tent and pulled all of the stakes out. 

Not only is there zero option to request a refund, there is likely no recourse for paying me for wasting 1 1/2 hours at their site trying to set things up.

Someone has to be the worst in the industry. Clearly, that's their goal and they achieved it.

Stayed in spot#51 in Arch Campground with water/electric hookup. Showers only available in Basin and Oasis group sites, which are down the dirt road to the main road and then further into the park from where we stayed (not walkable). Showers were good though, free and unlimited time. Took a trip over to check out Bryce View and sites 53, 57 and 59 were best. Site mostly level, has interesting views of surrounding natural features. Only one toilet bldg and it's at the entrance so not particularly convenient. 

Food aside: Had dehydrated egg with chorizo, bacon, hash brown and cheese on hatch tortillas, mmm.
