Best RV Parks & Resorts near Parowan, UT

Painted Hills RV Resort offers full hookups on gravel sites and maintains a Starlink internet system for guests requiring connectivity. Cedar Breaks RV Park provides pull-through RV pads with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections on mostly level sites. "Our Allegro Bus fit perfect with towing a Jeep. There is gravel but all the sites are level," noted one traveler about the Hitch-N-Post RV Campground. The Riverside Ranch accommodates large motorhomes with big rig friendly spaces and includes amenities like fire rings and picnic tables at each site. Ruby's Inn RV Park features both back-in and pull-through sites with multiple hookup options including 30/50-amp service.

Several RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though mountain locations may have seasonal closures due to snow conditions. Dump stations are available at Cedar Breaks RV Park and Bear Valley RV Campground but not at all facilities. Pet policies vary between properties, with most allowing dogs but maintaining designated pet areas. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, navigating to higher elevation campgrounds requires caution as "the climb is 13% grade for about 8 miles" on some mountain routes. Cell service can be inconsistent outside town centers, with one reviewer noting "no cell reception until you are in the town of Parowan." Parowan's central location provides access to multiple national parks and recreation areas, with many RV parks serving as convenient base camps for exploring Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Cedar Breaks National Monument.

    Zion River Resort

    Great park & amenities, close to everything!

    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.

    Zion River Resort

    Nice RV Park, wifi is slow though

    The park itself is nice. Full hook ups, heated pool and hot tub. Restrooms and laundry on site. Propane also on site. There are also a series of fenced in dog parks (3). So if you have dogs that don’t get along with other dogs that’s a plus because you can just go in a different one. The wifi is kind of hit or miss sometimes though. When the park is full at peak times good luck streaming anything. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t spring for the back in river spots unless you just want privacy behind you. The view for us isn’t that great as there is a rock wall behind you so your view is actually of that unless you have a very big rig. It is very close to Springdale and Zion National Park which is very convenient and why we chose it so four stars.

    Bryce Canyon RV Resort by Rjourney

    Come Here Digital Nomads

    My wife and I are digital nomads, we run our company where ever we go so it's CRUCIAL that we have comfort items, but most importantly that we have **solid internet. **

    We travel with 3 kids (ages 5, 3 & 3), 3 dogs, a cat, and a grandma in our 31' Travel Lite, Evoke Model B with the hopes of a road school education for them. EmpoweringHumansAdventures.com

    We booked a deluxe premium site (site 16) and were very pleased with the room, the patio, the fire pit, grill, and nice table.  The parking was gravel and not flat, we had to level up.  Had access to 50 and 30 amp, sewer, and water.  Make sure you use a pressure monitor as the pressure was strong.  They offered firewood for sale and our fire pit was very nice.

    We were close to the clubhouse which had coffee daily for a charge. ($1.30)  The store had the basics and all but one of the staff was extremely kind to us. If you need more you could walk to Sinclair and get more items.

    They were very specific about dogs being leashed all the time, which we fully agree with.  As a former Marine K9 handler, it's normally not the dog that is the problem, it's the handler.  The dog area is very close to site 16.

    The basic internet was blah, we upgraded to the faster speeds for $5.23 a day and it was well worth it.  We were able to stream tv for the kids, work on the laptops and do live video conferencing.  Support was very quick to respond when I asked for speed but they weren't able to give me more, but again it was good enough to get work done, stream and do video conferencing.  

    Cell coverage was ZERO for Sprint, and have to drive a ½ mile before getting coverage.

    Overall the campground was pretty quiet, we are pretty close to the highway so you did have some large/loud trucks that drove by.

    There are showers (very small) but the water pressure was great and the water was hot.  Bathrooms are always clean and the laundry was just fine.

    We shot a few videos to share our experience and will stay here again.  

    Mossy Cave was very close and we highly suggest the short hike back to the waterfall.  A little further is the petrefried forest which was also nice.

    You can zip over to Bryce Canyon National park ($38 entry fee) for the day.  It's well worth it and there's a ice cream shop just before you go into the park that I recommend.

    Things we loved:

    • The deluxe Premium site is great if you have small kids.

    • Internet was solid and gave us what we needed

    • This campground was extremely clean

    No so much:

    • No cell service

    • Feels very old

    • Road noise

    Hope this review helps, we hope to see you on the road!

    Navajo Lake Campground

    Great family friendly campground

    Loved this campground! Plenty of spots, good mix of back in, pull through, and tent. Spots have picnic table and fire rings. Flushing toilets and firewood for purchase. Limited parking for tent spots-one car per spot. Walking access to the lake and beautiful views! No cell service FYI, but 20 min drive to duck creek village where there is a general store, gas station, and cell service

    Watchman Campground — Zion National Park

    Amazing Views

    We camped at Watchman for three nights June 19-22,2020. Shuttles are not running and the scenic drive going to the lodge was closed due to COVID-19. We camped in the B loop, site # 51. This was a back-in space complete with a picnic table, fire ring (which we could not use due to fire season) and electrical hook-up. Portable water to fill tanks was available at the dump station just as you enter the campground. Our site was well shaded and very close to the Virgin River. Although available, we didn’t use the bath house.

    The campground was full to capacity the whole time we were there. It is important to reserve your site at least 6 Months in advance at this campground!!

    The Visitor’s Center and Park Store are within walking distance from the campground. Lots of swimming and tubing going on at the River. Tubes can be rented in Springdale. If you wanted to hike the Narrows or other trails along the scenic drive you had to either hire a shuttle ($30 round trip), bike or walk in. The paid shuttle pick up and return was in Springdale just outside the Park.

    Dogs were allowed in the campground on leash and also on ONE trail. All other trails were off limits to pets.

    Zion River Resort

    Best RV Park in Utah

    This place is so nice! Spacious shower stalls with toilet, sink, bench and shower. Laundry facilities. Year round heated pool and hot tub. Store on site with decent prices.

    Panguitch KOA

    Panguitch, UT KOA

    This is a super family-friendly campground and with so many "camping" options! There are full hook-up RV sites, cabins, and pre-assembled tent structures in various sizes. Amenities include: Swimming pool, playground, dog park, laundry, restrooms with showers, and Wi-Fi. It's a little close to the main street of the town, but that makes it easy to find!

    Pine Lake Campground

    Pine Lake Campground

    We stayed 4 nights at this place. There are no showers and the restrooms are non flushable. There is water located in designated areas. No hookups or dump stations. You have to head towards Bryce Canyon to dump. Garbage is also disposed of off the main road before heading on the road where the campsites located. The hosts were very nice and answered any questions we had. Bugs weren’t bad, but it is a campground mainly used for fishing and people that have side by sides so it can get noisy. If I had a side by side id definitely bring it here to tear up some trails and do disperse camping. Do not I repeat do not take your big rig up Powell Point it will take you awhile to find a spot to turn around and come back down. My grandparents did this with their travel trailer which is 27 in length and they tore up their stairs underneath. All in all I’d stay again.
