Guide
We were traveling through and needed a place for the night. We pulled up to a spot where we could use the bunkhouse porch. The views from this ranch are amazing. The bathhouse was really cool—very creative. In fact, everything about this place is creative.
The work the owner is doing here by rescuing horses, donkeys, and goats is so important. Anything we can do to help her cause, we should absolutely.

We usually do dispersed to avoid other humans and their generators, lights, and noise, but Kodachrome only allows generator use from noon to 4, quiet hours are observed and enforced, and the sites in Bryce View are really well spaced out from each other. Most also have shade. It's like dispersed camping, but with toilets and water!
Guide
We've camped here several times during the spring, summer and fall in our 26 foot toyhauler. Gets pretty hot in the heat of the summer but great in the shoulder seasons. Dirt access road that can get impassable when it rains (and believe them when they say impassable!). Not a lot of dispersed camp sites, maybe 6 or 7 in this immediate area.. if you drive down the road toward Lake Powell (Highway 389).. there are more places to camp, but the road can get washed out or blocked by falling rocks along the way, so be prepared to turn around and head back towards Cannonville.
Traveler
The 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.
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.

Optd to camp out here for the night. Was about 3 miles back off HW 89. Super peaceful area. Was able to pull my 22ft TT with my Ram 1500 just fine on the way to the spot. You could probably get up to a 30ft TT or RV back there. There were a lot of spots available, just need to continue driving back
TravelerThe road in needs a high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicle. We could not drive in. The camping spot looked nice, quiet and tucked away. But also right by a stream, and prone to muddiness after rain, as when we arrived.
LegendFor the first time, I would give 6 stars to a campground. The location is scenic, the sites are private and gorgeous, hike from the campground to beautiful places, you can buy firewood next to the bathroom…
And the showers are the same than in a boutique hotel at $1000 per night..
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.
Scout
The property is exclusive and off the grid. Don't forget to look up at the night sky, beautiful star lite.
GuideThis campground is located in a basin of very colorful cliffs. Unfortunately it rained on and off when I was there. I suspect the sunrises would be stunning. Camp site and toilets were clean and well kept.
TravelerWe stayed here for one night on our way from the Grand Canyon to Bryce Canyon. What a surprise! The drive through the valley was amazingly beautiful. It is a state park, so our dog could go anywhere with us, there was hiking and bike riding (which we did not do, since we were only there for one night) but lots of great activities. The views from the campground are superb, and the campsites are very spacious. The pit toilets were the cleanest we've encountered on our adventures. We would absolutely stay here again to take advantage of more of the activities that are offered. It's a drive to get back to the state park, but worth it.
GuideWhat a special place. Not to cheapen it, but the comparably small scale and almost cinematic, stylized quality of it lends a sort of "Disneyland" quality to it, but designed by nature and a million times more awesome. It's just such a special place. The campsites and bathrooms are extra nice too. Great, easy hikes right from the camp with beautiful views. The moon rising over the basin at night is an unexpected treat that will make you feel like you are ON the moon. Highly recommended!
RangerFirst off, no service (food, gas) within 25 miles, BUT I rented here for three days and the spot was perfect for nearby hiking trails (wire pass, toadstool hoodoos, buckskins gulch). Bathrooms were very nice, rest of the property under renovation.
GuideWe got a nice spot with trees shade and privacy. Nice table and fire pit. Trails nearby, beauty all around. Nice restrooms. It was buggy and unusually hot when we were there.
ScoutSmall pull off from the road with only a few spots. Didn’t see any other campers
LegendWe stopped here on our way out of the Bryce area moving on to Escalante. This was one of the few open State Park campgrounds at this time of the year (December 2020). We did not stay here but paid the day use fee to see the park and use the facilities. It was snowing pretty heavily and visibility was low and colors pretty muted but still very pretty. The campground at the end of the road was open and so were very nice and clean bathrooms with flushing water and power. We used the restrooms to do some washing up and filling water dumpster to get rid of our trash. The water hose spigot was closed so had to fill from the bathroom sink. We also took a nice little hike on the Angel’s Palace trail. It would be really much more scenic with sunshine on the red rocks. No cell reception on either Verizon or AT&T
GuideGreat place for camping and hiking. We stayed at Bryce View Campground. No shower here. There is a pit toilet and water. Great for 1 or 2 days to do all the hikes. We went there in November and there were plenty of walk in sites when we got there around 10am.
GuideBeautiful sunrise and sunsets! Lots of wildlife surprisingly. Somewhat quiet, there was about 5 other tents and a few were drinking so they had gotten rowdy. Decent sites for tents.
GuideWent 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.
GuideWe stayed in the Bryce View campground which has no hookups. We prefer boondocking spots because they typically have more space between campsites, and this is true in Kodachrome. Bryce View Campground is down a short dirt road and most sites are pull-throughs. If you need to use a generator, they are only allowed between the hours of 12pm to 4pm. Bryce View had vaulted toilets, water faucets, and a large trash bin. All sites had beautiful views but 52 and 56 appear to have the best. Our site was level and from what we could see most the other sites were equally level. Table and fire pits are available at all the sites. The max trailer length allowed is 20ft. Our trailer is 20ft and we had no issues maneuvering. The campground is quite and well maintained. If you prefer hookups the Basin Campground has what you are looking for. However, the sites are much closer together. Be aware when we used the Dump site it was awfully close to some of the Basin Campsites. The RV dump site has two stations and has potable and non-potable water. Showers and laundry facility are also available.
GuideWe used this park as our base camp for exploring Utah’s National Parks. Bryce, Zion and Capital Reef are all very doable day trips. Plus, the hikes and bike trails are pretty rad in Kodachrome itself. Grovesnor’s Arch is nearby and you can get up close. We were at site 29 with full hookup. It had shade and beautiful views. The full moon lights up the park and star gazing is fabulous. There really isn’t a bad site in the park, it just depends if you need utilities or not. The bathrooms and showers are clean and the best we have seen for a State Park. Red Dirt Laundry is very convenient too. We are a family of four. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the park too. There is no cell or wifi service.
Legend**IMPORTANT** Stays at this private ranch are BY RESERVATION only and for people with horses or who've booked a guided trail ride with the ranch**
We booked a private guided horseback ride with the ranch and stayed here in our trailer for five days. Our stay was incredible: quiet, peaceful, and amidst the backdrop of beautiful Utah BLM land. Our guided 2-hour ride in the nearby slot canyon was fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend riding with the amazing team at the ranch.
We had 30 amp electric and water hookups, though some sites are just electric. The dump site may or may not be in service, ask before booking.
The restrooms and showers onsite are immaculate. Very clean, new, and well designed.
*Again, this is a private ranch first, not an RV campground. Stays here require a reservation. The owner dislikes people just driving onto the property. Call ahead.
GuideWe had a tentsite at Bryce View Campground in Kodachrome Basin State Park and it was wonderful! The sites are set spaciously apart. We had a tent but all of those sites had a drive through option. Picnic tables and toilet facilities close by. Many sites had lovely views and there were trees at every site to provide shade and privacy. Outside of Bryce National Park but within 20 minutes of the park. Great campground!
LegendKodachrome State Park has two main campgrounds which include Basin and Bryce View. Bryce View is located closer to the main entrance just after the visitors center. While Basin campground caters to tent camper and smaller trailers and vans with paved roads and pull ins, Bryce View has electrical and water hookups with gravel roads and can accommodate larger campers and RVs. We did not rate this as high due to the dusty roads and lack of facilities compared to the Basin Campground. Bryce View is however closer the better hikes and provides a quieter more private setting. The also have Arches Group site for those looking to host a larger numbers.
GuideKodachrome? They should have called it, “Don’t even bother traveling to Zion, cause you’re already there- park.” Bryce was nice, but Kodachrome is twice-as-nice. Seriously though, tough and rapidly changing bike trails, amazing scenery, fresh new, clean, well designed, beautiful campsites, laundry and bath facilities; this place is a miniature version of all of the Mighty Five in one. After two weeks of exploring Southern Utah this and Capitol Reef are the gems. The staff was amazing and had great interpersonal skills with our kids. Stay home, don’t come here, cause we want it all to ourselves.
LegendKodachrome Basin SP has two separate campgrounds: Bryce View and Basin, a couple miles apart. This review only addresses Bryce View (sites 46-56). The park also has Oasis and Arch Group Sites and bunkhouses.
Why should you camp here? Panorama Point alone is worth the trip with its 360 degrees view, and Shakespeare Arch/Sentinel Spire are something different. You may see a black-tailed jackrabbit in the campground or on the hike to Shakespeare Arch.
Be aware of the following if you book a site at Bryce View:
There are vault toilets which I did not expect at this state campground. I guess you get flush toilets at Basin, and Oasis definitely has them.
Showers are a couple miles away at Oasis.
Bryce View looks a like a free BLM camping area tucked away in the red dirt until you see the numbered sites with picnic tables and fire rings, vault toilets, potable water and a trash dumpster.
Your cell phone will not work in this area. If you're desperate for service, Verizon's network is available at Panorama Point, a stop on the Panorama Trail.
It's still a good place to camp:
VERY quiet! Generators may only be run between noon and 4 pm. That's a great rule because most people are exploring the park at that time.
Sites are large and the views are beautiful.
All sites except 53 have long pull through parking areas which easily accommodate a vehicle and RV. When we were there, 9 sites were occupied the first night and all were occupied by tents except ours.
Behind sites 51, 52, 55 and 56 are views of Chimney Rock and the Shakespeare Arch/Sentinel Spire area.
Showers are in good shape; each one has a door and a dressing area with a bench.
A laundromat appropriately named Red Dirt is near the bunkhouses on the way to the Oasis Group Site and Basin Campground.
All I know about the other campground is that 14 sites have power and there are two non-reservation sites called A and B.
Utah offers stunning landscapes and a variety of options for horse camping, making it a perfect destination for equestrian enthusiasts looking to explore the great outdoors with their horses.
