Marysvale sits in the Sevier River valley at roughly 5,800 feet, which gives it a longer camping season than the high-elevation spots to the north while still keeping summer nights cool enough to sleep without air conditioning. Campgrounds near Marysvale range from free dispersed sites on forest roads off Highway 89 to developed campgrounds in town with vault toilets, fire rings, and water. The town is a gateway into the Fishlake National Forest and the Piute ATV trail system, which draws a significant share of the camping traffic in late summer and fall. Marysvale's cabin campgrounds cover the developed cabin options in this corridor when walls and a bed are the priority.
Disposed camping on forest land outside town runs no fees and no reservations, with forest roads branching off Highway 89 in both directions. High-clearance vehicles open more options on the rougher two-tracks. Developed campgrounds in town and along the river have vault toilets, fire rings, and water at most sites during the summer season. Reservations at the more popular developed spots fill a few weeks out during the ATV season peak from August through October.

TravelerWe parked in the gravel area for the night. Easy on and off and flat. Lots of room. There a couple of spots further in that would have been fine but we didn’t want to level since it was just the night.
RangerThis place is awesome. So much to see. Incredible history. Was pretty empty place during a rainy October. The hikes were short to each panel. Highly recommend this state park even if you don’t camp.
TravelerEasy drive to get to camp area, about 15 miles up a paved road into beautiful national park. There are about 15 spots in the Aspens, we went all the way to end and camped against Cold Spring lake.
Area was pretty full in October with lots of people deer hunting.
GuideWe spent a night in the pit house at the Sam Stowe campground, one of yhe most unusual accommodations in the Utah State Park system. It is based on the type of houses that the Fremont natives who originally lived here lived in. Fortunately it has actual mattresses, not grass mats, so it is pretty comfortable.
The pit house has a double bed plus up to four singles, and has a space heater and fan. There is electricity for lights and outlets, but no fridge or microwave. There is a picnic table and fire pit.
Flush toilets and showers are a short walk away, as is the small camp laundromat.
GuideNice sites with plenty of distance between sites. They have goats and chickens. Washer and dryer's
TravelerHookups in the parking lot of a Love’s travel center. Cars and trucks come and go at all hours. Highway noise. Clean restrooms. $56 a night, electric only.
GuidePulled in at sunset had a fire ring along the water, facilities were clean and traffic died down by 10ish
GuideNice quiet area located not far from the main road, no 4x4 needed. Your Corolla willake in no worries. Easy access into NP. Highly recommend.
GuideGreat, quiet spot where you can camp right next to the water. Perfect for tent camping or RV. There is no service here though, we had to use our Starlink to get service.
Marysvale sits at an elevation of 5,850 feet in central Utah's Piute County, where the Sevier River flows through a valley bordered by the Tushar Mountains. The camping season typically runs from late April through mid-October, with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during the day and dropping to 45-55°F at night. Several camping spots near Marysvale, Utah provide direct access to the extensive Paiute Trail system, a network of over 900 miles of OHV trails.
Explore petroglyphs at Fremont Indian State Park: Located about 15 miles northwest of Marysvale, Castle Rock Campground offers easy access to numerous petroglyph sites. "Lots to see! There are red rock pillars, yellow aspen and native american art," notes Connie C. The state park features 697 Native American rock art panels with hiking trails leading to many viewing areas.
Relax in natural hot springs: Monroe's Mystic Hot Springs provides a unique soaking experience in mineral-rich waters about 18 miles from Marysvale. "I've been here in the summer and winter. Stayed in one of their buses and camped. Both times have been fun experiences," shares Sarah S. The hot springs are open 24/7, with rustic bathtubs built into the hillside.
Fish in mountain streams: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing opportunities in the area's waterways. At Little Cottonwood Campground, campers can fish directly from the grounds. "The Beaver river runs right in the campground, with an accessible area, completed with a park bench to sit on," explains Larry N. The creek access points provide convenient fishing spots for all skill levels.
Trail access from campsites: Many campsites near Marysvale connect directly to trail systems. At South Forty RV Park, "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," according to Shad G. This saves time loading and unloading equipment.
Spacious, private sites: Campers consistently mention the generous spacing between sites at area campgrounds. At Monroe Canyon RV Park, "The sites are all very large pull throughs, so we would not have to unhook if we did not need the F250 to roam the area. The site is wide enough to park your tow vehicle next to your rig if you were so inclined," reports Kevin H.
Mountain views: The scenery surrounding Marysvale camping areas earns high praise. "We had a 360° view of the mountains. This campground is an ATVers heaven as you can drive your ATV directly from the campground to the trails," notes Terri N. about Monroe Canyon RV Park. Many sites offer views of snow-capped peaks well into summer.
Seasonal limitations: Most camping facilities operate within a specific window. South Forty RV Park runs from April 1 to October 15, with similar schedules at other sites. Shoulder seasons may bring unpredictable weather—Ian S. mentions arriving at a campground to find "snow on the ground and the nearby mountaintops."
Varying amenity levels: Facilities range from primitive to full-service. Fremont Indian State Park offers showers at $1.25 for 4 minutes. "Coin operated," clarifies Marilynn F., while other sites may have no shower facilities at all. Research each location's specific amenities before booking.
Limited connectivity: Cell service varies significantly by location and provider. At Castle Rock Campground, "Verizon and T-Mobile service enough for hot spot and road is drivable for any rig," reports Perle T. Other sites may have no service at all, requiring drives toward town to connect.
Consider unique accommodations: Beyond standard tent and RV sites, some campgrounds offer distinctive lodging options. Castle Rock Campground has tipis available. "Got to stay in a rad tipi site for only $30! They had firewood available by the bundle for $5/armload," shares Mariah G. These alternatives can create memorable experiences for children.
Look for educational opportunities: The area's rich cultural history provides learning experiences. Fremont Indian State Park features interpretive trails and a visitor center. "Fremont Indian State Park has a visitor center and 697 Native American rock art panels," notes Judy T., making it an excellent option for families seeking educational components.
Check water features: Streams and water access points enhance family camping experiences. At Little Cottonwood, "There was a nice bench where path met creek, great for sitting and enjoying morning coffee/fishing/relaxing," Ian S. reports. These natural features provide entertainment for children while adults relax nearby.
Site dimensions matter: Many RV sites in the area can accommodate larger rigs but always confirm specifics. At Lizzie & Charlies RV-ATV Park, "Most sites are pull-through with full hookups, which made setup easy," reports Iris V., who adds, "The park is in a great location for SxS trail access."
Research hookup availability: Full hookups aren't universal in the area. South Forty RV Park provides complete connections, while others may offer only partial hookups. "The sites were wide and long enough to accommodate your tow rig, trailer, and SxS and they don't charge an extra vehicle fee for the SxS," notes Shad G., highlighting the practical benefit for OHV enthusiasts.
Prepare for varying road conditions: Access roads to campgrounds can range from paved to rough dirt tracks. Barry S. notes that Castle Rock Campground has "a variety of pull through vs in/out options" with roads that accommodate various vehicle types. Some sites may require additional clearance or careful navigation.
