Best Tent Camping near Panguitch, UT

Nice KOA with great camp sites. Beautiful panoramic Mountain views. Nice place to bring the family. Campfires highlight the interesting landscape. The sunrise on the mountainside was absolutely beautiful! The colors were amazing! We camped in a tent site, but there are RV and cabin sites available as well. There’s a little convenience store where wood is available. Very clean and lovely place!

This campround is mostly for RV's but there are 6 tent sites, 3 of which sit close to the main road. The bathrooms have flush toilets, sinks and showers. They are well maintained and very clean. Tent campsites have fire rings.

We were tent camping at this campground which is the only reason it will not get 5 stars from us. The campground itself is great, especially the bathrooms are surprisingly amazing. And here comes the but: the tent sites are right on the street without much of a barrier (a small wooden fence on one site, but nothing else). Everybody can just walk on the site. The noise is also awful if you're staying there during the main season. If you're staying with a camper you're probably ok.

Right past beautiful Red Canyon coming from Panguitch on 12. Turn left on  road also call 117. Lots of spots.  Some single and some more like a campground area.  You are as close to your neighbor as you choose to be.  The "official" spots all have at least the metal post where a sign was  Rangers do come around and check as there are a lot of "not official" spots It is dusty if you are close to any roads. The pines "sing" in the wind. There are areas in the meadow or the pines  No amenities but Panguitch is about 10 miles away and Bryce City is a bit closer. Bryce City Sinclair station has dump, water, propane, diesel and reg.  Super nice people.  Can stay for 16 days.

Tent site are not marked. The map is incorrect that is given to you. Clean bathrooms and showers. Walking distance to general store and gift shop. The two things keeping it from 5 stars is the unmarked tent sites and (in my opinion) the people are weird in the area

Tent camping is first come first serve, we arrived about 5:30 and was able to get a spot pretty easily however as we watch people arrive later there were less spots with fire pits and picknic tables. If you will be arriving late this may not be the spot for you. However the site did have showers and a cool conievence store. Overall a nice site just have to get there earlier if you are tent camping

Got a tent site at Ruby’s for a night. It’s all that you’d expect from an RV Park; toilets, showers, laundromat, pool, etc. The tent sites are condensed to two open areas where all tent campers must squeeze into. You’re not guaranteed a fire pit or picnic table, so there’s that. It is located right outside Bryce Canyon NP entrance, making it very convenient to come and go. Overall a good experience.

Particularly challenging for those who camp in tents due to the uneven grading and poor site maintenance. Loops C & D are for tents except in the off season where allRV's and tents are lumped together in Loop A--- or A & B --- which is a loop best suited to RV's. Many tent sites are very small.

Flush toilets are good in this campground.

If you are in a tent, problems abound in this campground. Decent tent sites in Loop D are 93, 95, 97,98,99, 101. D is better than Loop C.

I stayed in a tent site. Can hike right from campground.

Tent camped with an amazing meadow view. Trails from camp to the visitor center and trail heads. Shower and restroom facilities available. Definitely recommend!

Spacious spots with trees all around. We tent camped. All spots pretty flat. Tables and fire rings at each site. Very short drive to the lake.

I drove through just to check out the tent camping. They really pack them in there. I would not enjoy being so close to other campers. Feels unnatural.

Feet from an extremely busy and noisy intersection under a street light. Only consider this campground for tent camping if absolutely desperate. And, in that case, consider a hotel.

Poor grading for tent sites. Tent sites are in Loop B and Loop C.

Many sites have no privacy. Many sites are poorly graded and badly sloped which is not critical for RV's but is a problem for tents. Loop C  is slightly more desirable than Loop B.

B 269 & 268 seem fairly level, but across the road sites 270, 267, 266, 264 are very sloped.

Loops B & C have very small parking pads...bring your VW to park in Loops B & C

In Loop A many sites get wet in bad weather but for RV's that may not matter.

toilet facilities are decent.

We stayed in the tent sites, some of the sites were small. But we had a ton of room

Easy in and out basic campground. Check in at the Chevron station General store where you can buy wood take showers use flush toilet. Tent camping area is fairly open and there is some highway noise.

Heavily treed to give a sense of privacy. Tent sites are well thought out. Convenient to the Rim Trail, which gives access to many others.

Went 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.

This campsite was really nice! They have a gas station by the lodge, and it was perfect for a last minute campsite. We had a gorgeous view of the stars and a site to pitch our tent away from other guests. The lodge employees were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the park. The only downside was that the tent sites are right along SR-9 so you hear all of the traffic and see the lights of passing cars. We paid $34 per night for a tent site, and it was much cheaper and quieter than staying in Springdale by Zion’s main entrance. The drive down through the park to Springdale was breathtaking!
