Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mount Carmel Junction, UT

Located on the East end of Zion National Park. You'll find less traffic and quieter area opposed to the campgrounds located near Springdale, Utah on the south end of the park. Full RV hook-ups, tent sites available as well. Laundry facility to refresh you sweaty & dusty gear. Showers to enjoy after a day of hiking and sight seeing. Short drive to Bryce Canyon National Park.

I wanted to have a easy camping trip to Zion not long but easy to put up tent, camp, and have a few luxuries without the price tag and this was it. The camp is right on the entrance to Zion and mountains are all around it. The camp has bathrooms all over for both men, woman, and family restroom. There is also RV hook ups on some of the spots but i just wanted to pitch a tent. We had an easy setup and beautiful view and we just were a few minutes from the visitor center and the bus stops. Sadly for us we didn't get bus passes but instead hiked it up the mountain trails. It was a long hike up from there but well worth it. Also not so far from the campsite is a market to buy things you need about 10 minute walk for us. But there is another outside the park about maybe 15 to 20 depending on pace. No showers at the campground but there is one just outside the park and gear to rent for the narrows and a private bus to take you all the way up.

Beautiful scenery and clean facilities. Ridiculous prices and camp hosts everywhere. Something very strange going on here. Almost everyone was a camp host. Huge rv’s with 4 to 5 cars…all camp hosts. They charged us $40 for our campervan AND an extra $20 for our tow vehicle. More like RV resort pricing. Now, if you have a monster truck with a 5th wheel, you get to pay $40. Will never stay again. Too many other campgrounds and RV parks in the area with the same scenery and amenities that are much more affordable.

Overall great rv spot, full hook ups, laundry facility, pool, tables and trash cans at each site and lighted drive ways

We only stayed in this campground 1 night and it was the only one with RV hookups in the area from which you could commute to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon easily.  The sites are adequate, Ours was wedged between two other sites at an angle which made it a little tricky to back in but the hosts helped guide us in between other trailers and trees.  We did not have a full hookup (no black/grey tank hookup) but only really needed water and electricity.

I would recommend this campground for those wanting to visit this area.  The facilities appeared to be good although we did not use anything other than the dump station on the way out.

Nothing quaint about Ruby’s RV park but they have everything one might need and offer full hookups for any size RV rig. The best best piece is it’s proximity to the Nat’l park - we would have stayed in the park but all the RV camping was closed in the park. Anyway, it fit the bill and btw for good food go to IDK bbq in Tropic. Just a lost the only good food around Bryce. Bryce Canyon coffee and pastry was good too but everything else we tried in this region was absolutely par or below.

Overall great rv sites with full hook ups, level sites, some shade trees depending on site. Both sites we stayed in did not offer much shade but at least good to have greenery around. Preferred 241 as on backside of park and quieter, newer and bigger spot. Shower and laundry facilities in good shape. WiFi not so great but cell service okay for T-Mobile. Conveniently located close to Bryce Canyon, Red Canyon, scenic byways etc.

I recently stayed at Settlers RV Resort, touted as a"luxury" RV resort. While the resort is new and nice, some drawbacks keep me from giving it a higher rating. The gravel pads are a big issue, as they require a 4x4 truck to park and pull out, and the gravel is deep. This can be inconvenient and potentially damaging to vehicles.

On a positive note, the park is clean, and the pool and hot tub are well-maintained. The dog area is also great, and the clubhouse is excellent. However, the staff left a lot to be desired. They were rude and not kind towards children and even corrected them directly instead of asking the adults to correct them. I spoke to other guests who had similar experiences with the staff being rude and degrading when the rules weren't clear. This is a big issue, as staff should be trained to interact kindly with guests and their children. 

Overall, I would give Settlers RV Resort a 3 out of 5 stars. While it has some excellent amenities and is clean, the staff and gravel pads are significant issues that keep it from being a truly"luxury" RV resort. Additionally, the issue with Apple Maps taking guests to the wrong RV resort should be addressed by the park's webmaster as soon as possible.

We stayed at Zion RV resort in Virgin, Utah just outside Zion National Park and nearby towns in October 2021. This is a very nice full-service RV resort that offers a variety of pull-through and back-in sites, and cabins. The sites are 50amp FHU, fairly long, and have nice spacing between sites. The park is pristine and offers a large inviting pool and hot tub, laundry room, playground, dog runs, propane fill station, and a real lodge with lots of apparel, home goods, ice, beer and other beverage choices. There is access to the Virgin River from the campground. We really enjoyed our stay here just minutes from Zion and other local attractions. The only downside was wifi coverage if you have Verizon. This was spotty and one bar at most. We highly recommend this RV resort. To see videos on this campground and others, visit our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.

In summary, if you’re seeking a tranquil RV retreat with top-notch amenities and unbeatable views, look no further than Grand Plateau RV Resort. It’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. 🌄🚐✨

Great place to camp that last night in the desert before returning to civilization. Plenty of reservable sites for whatever style camping you prefer. Full hook ups for RVs, toilets, showers, fire rings, place to do dishes, and firewood for sale at a reasonable price, which can be hard to come by in dry places. Sites are reservable.

Its a bummer that many of the campsites are backed up on each other, and it does fill up, so you will probably have neighbors. Tent sites might be a little quieter.

There was an interstingly shaped hoodoo visible from our site. The stars were indescribable, so many and so clear!

Just come here. You won't regret it. Dispersed, great Verizon for video calls, beautiful views, high winds at times, close to stores and full hookup RV parks. Best resturants are Oscar's in Springdale and River Rock roasting company.

This RV resort is very clean and well maintained. We stayed here for two nights in October 2020 and we were very happy with our stay. It is close to Zion National Park and not too far from "civilization" if you need to pick up supplies that aren't offered onsite. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to others. One important thing to note: if your GPS tells you to take Sheep Bridge Road to get to Zion River Resort, DO NOT TAKE SHEEP BRIDGE ROAD. Sheep Bridge Road is a poorly maintained dirt road with washboard sections, tight turns, inclines, and other obstacles that make it very difficult to navigate if you're pulling a travel trailer. It was a learning experience, to say the least.
