RV parks near Monroe, Utah provide convenient access to the Paiute Trail system, a major draw for ATV enthusiasts in central Utah. Most campgrounds in this area sit at elevations between 5,000-6,000 feet, creating moderate summer temperatures compared to southern Utah destinations. Winter camping options are limited as several facilities close from late October through early April due to snowfall and freezing temperatures.
What to do
ATV trail riding: Access the Paiute Trail directly from South Forty RV Park where guests can ride directly from their campsites. "There are access to the trails right from the campground and the owners are very knowledgeable about the trails that you should ride given the amount of time you are staying," notes one reviewer.
Mountain biking: Several paved paths run along rivers near area campgrounds. As one visitor to Bowery Haven Resort & RV Park mentions, "There is a gorgeous paved bike path that runs along the river, nearby."
Fishing: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing opportunities. At Sevier River RV Park, "We walked down to the river and fished for small fish. The owners are very friendly and stopped by multiple times to see if we needed anything," reports one camper.
What campers like
Spacious sites: RV parks in the Monroe area typically feature larger-than-average sites. A visitor to Monroe Canyon RV Park observed, "The sites are wide and long enough to accommodate your tow rig, trailer, and SxS and they don't charge an extra vehicle fee for the SxS."
Wildlife viewing: Several campgrounds maintain ponds and natural areas that attract birds and wildlife. "Ducks, turkeys and geese roam the grounds," noted one Sevier River RV Park guest. Another mentioned the park has "an enclosure containing chickens and turkeys. The office provided food so our 3 year year old granddaughter could feed those birds."
Dark skies: The region offers excellent stargazing due to minimal light pollution. One overnight visitor to Cove Fort RV Park appreciated that "what I liked most was the lack of ambient light. Went out at night and it was pitch black with sky full of stars."
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Many facilities operate only during warmer months. South Forty RV Park is open "April 1 - October 15" according to their listing information.
Reservation policies: Site assignment varies by campground. At South Forty RV Park, "The only thing I didn't love is that you don't get to reserve a specific site. They assign one to you when you arrive."
Varying facilities: Campground amenities differ significantly throughout the region. One visitor to Wagons West RV Campground noted, "Office and laundry facilities are closed on Sundays. Bathrooms are small but clean with one toilet stall and two shower stalls each."
Newer developments: Several RV parks in the area are relatively new or undergoing improvements. "This is a brand-new RV Park, big spacious sites with new utilities," explained one Monroe Canyon RV Park guest.
Tips for camping with families
Bird feeding opportunities: Some campgrounds offer unique wildlife interactions for children. A Sevier River RV Park visitor mentioned, "The office provided food so our 3 year year old granddaughter could feed those birds."
Pond activities: Parks with water features provide entertainment options. "There is a fishing pond that was also home to geese, ducks and other birds," shared one Sevier River RV Park guest.
Educational opportunities: Historical sites near camping areas can add educational value to family trips. "Fremont Indian State Park is nearby. We found this to be a very interesting park to see petroglyphs and rock art, along with some examination of cultures and explorers," one visitor noted.
Tips from RVers
Hookup considerations: Some sites require longer-than-standard equipment. One visitor to Bowery Haven Resort cautioned, "RV area was taken care of and provided full hook up. Some of which were further away than standard sized hoses and cord so be prepared."
Connectivity options: Cell service and internet access vary by location. At Monroe Canyon RV Park, one guest reported, "My Visible and my Verizon worked great for data also. Cricket was great for phone calls. T-Mobile had good download but miserable upload speeds- hardly conducive to Teams calls."
Overnight stays: For those just passing through, several RV parks near Monroe offer convenient highway access. Love's RV Stop in nearby Salina provides "super easy on and off, clean, new, nice amenities, not very crowded and right at the gas stations."
