Top 10+ RV Parks near Manti-La Sal National Forest

We have a 36’ Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site MI08 for 3 days in mid June. We left our boondocking site in the Grand Staircase-Escalante NM to get electric and water hookups because the temperatures were climbing into the 100’s in the area. The sites are nice, but closer together than most SP CGs, although the pull-through sites are angled, so you’re not looking in your neighbor’s windows and there are some trees between them as well. AT&T coverage was fair, with 2-3 Bars of LTE service and speeds up to about 2 MB/s. There were a few tall trees at each of the sites, but there were gaps between them, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were zero OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.

We made last minute reservations on-line late in the day on a long trip. Although we arrived late a gentleman assisted us to find a spot and then later in the evening another person called to check up on us. Greatly appreciated this extra care. The park is new and well maintained. A river flows through the back of the park, with a walking trail and a small place to swim. There is a nice children’s play area with a water pad. Lots of places to walk a dog. Large pull through sites. Water and electric were perfect even in 100 degree weather. Individual bathrooms with a shower in each. The bathrooms were private and immaculately maintained. Wonderful laundry area. Big rig friendly with ample space and turning radius. Easy in and out with no issues.
Only issue was the length of the site. We choose a 70 foot site and our 60 ft rig barely fit. So FYI, when choosing a site, go big.

Traveling east along US-50 "The Loneliest Road in America," we were seeking somewhere to camp after leaving Great Basin National Park. We stumbled upon Oak Creek Recreation Area quite by accident, but such a rewarding accident it turned out to be. It must be the best kept secret in western Utah for camping.

Oak Creek campground is located four miles east of Oak City, Utah. It is nestled in a canyon in the Fishlake National Forest. We arrived at the campground late afternoon June 5, 2023 and had our choice of ANY campsite - we were the only occupants. We selected site 19, a back-in site at the end of the loop that runs through the campground. The site is less than 100 feet or so from Oak Creek which runs parallel to the campground. The site is level and easily accommodated our 18-foot travel trailer. Using our Senior America the Beautiful pass, the cost per night was $8.00 and worth every penny. In addition to this campsite, there is additional camping further up Oak Creek Canyon Road for tents, RVs, and trailers - access is via a well-maintained dirt road beyond the campground we stayed in.

Highly recommend this campground for peace and quiet!

Love this place! During summer it’s hard to get a spot but there is some dispersed camping down the road. Fall is beautiful with all the colors! We were here in late October after a little snow so the place was empty. Even with no host (assume gone for winter) the area was very clean, pit toilets were open and stocked with TP. The camp sites are great for van/tent or maybe small RV but if it’s busy there are no turn around spots as day parking areas could be full. The sites have picnic tables and fire pits. No water and no cell service. Closest cell reception is top of canyon (via hike) or where concrete road ends at mouth of canyon. The rock climbing here is amazing! Tons of sport routes of all levels. Crazy conglomerate rock. Scenic but steep 4 mile loop hike to viewpoint. Bear and cougar country so keep your food and trash properly stored :)
