Best Campgrounds near Tropic, UT

Nice and quiet, decent sites. Nothing bad but nothing special

We booked an RV pull through site specifically because it was labeled “more primitive” - mind you this is about $30 more than the others and the site was quite literally the least primitive spot. So do t spend the extra thinking you’ll get a private spot because it’s most definitely not the case. Also the bathrooms were horrendous and smelly and the place was not maintained. We left before staying the night, ate the $80 and found a dispersed camp site.

A real hidden gem. We took a hook up site. The showers are at the Basin Camp but can be used and there is a coin operated Laundromat too, which is a real saviour. Great dark skies and wildlife abounds.

This a very small RV park. 10-12 spots. Pretty rundown. Spot next to me had broken electrical post with exposed wires. Dog poo everywhere. A few small trash cans scattered around, but too small for a small kitchen trash bag. I think this park was built as a second thought. It does sit on nice little stream.

When I called to make reservations, the young man casually mentioned that the office is closed on Wednesdays & Thursdays. If we wanted to use the hot tub, we needed to go across the street to the Chevron gas station for a key. We arrived around 4pm and my confirmation email did not specify a spot. So I went to Chevron and was given a choice of 2 spots. The signs are terrible. Email comes from Thunderbird Lodge Best Western. Nothing matches up. Not much Verizon signal and no WiFi available. There is a Subway sandwich shop across the street.

If just passing through for quick stop, I guess it’s minimally acceptable. We would not stay there again.

Great location. Nice mountain views. Horses across the road. Mule deer out back occasionally. Small RV park with a lot of small cabins. RV spots are small, gravel, and pretty tight. Some sites are not very level. Fire pits and picnic tables. A few sites had a nice brick patio with table & chairs. 2 bars Verizon. Terrible WiFi that is provided by 3d party. Need to register. Keeps quitting.

Private showers and shared bathrooms. All very clean. Laundry: washers are $6.50!

A nice little playground, used pretty regularly by little ones. Lots of space to walk dogs out back. It’s right on main road but not too noisy.

We would stay there again if back in that area.

Road was closed before getting to the numbered sites. Recent weather has the dirt road slick and muddy. Area is beautiful and I saw deer on the way in. Will try again next time. 3-21-25

Great views. Acres of space. We stopped in the first area in the right on Hole in the Rock Road. Only a few other campers. So much space you’re quite private. Fire pits and levelish plots. Nicely placed between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef. Lower altitude than Dixie State Forest brought us here otherwise we were facing temperatures well below freezing. Great Verizon signal.

It’s good enough for one night-just somewhere to sleep. A bit off the highway and still had cell service

This is a beautiful place! Open with vistas in all directions. So well run! Gorgeous sites, bathrooms, showers, laundry, terrace for social gathering, little store with fresh eggs, little library book exchange and more. The attention to detail is what makes this place luxurious. We loved our one night stay here and will return in the summer when it is warm enough to sit outside!

Magnificent view! As a couple people have said, pull a sharp right at the top of the hill. Easy to get to with 2 wheel drive when dry. Pretty tight turns between trees further back in the site where the big view is. Flat ground could be tough to find with a long vehicle or trailer. Bit windy today, it’s relatively exposed.

This was a great campsite just outside the National Park. Just make sure you stay in a designated spot as there is some no camping areas.

Quiet spot just off highway 12. Easy access, decent views. Windy. Surrounded by ponderosa pines. Cold in February!

This is a great area with lots to do! hiking, fishing Geocaching, etc! 

Our pull through site was a bit tight for our 30' TT but manageable.

Camp host's were friendly. 

We had Deer wandering throughout the camp ground and LOTS of Hummingbirds!!!

It was discovered quickly that we didn't bring enough food for them.

During out visit there was an issue with fly's but that's a nature issue not a camp-camp host - Forest service problem. 

Towards the end of our stay the forest service - camp host were needing to implement water restriction at their dump - fill station.

We spent two nights at North Campground while exploring Bryce Canyon NP. We were basically the only ones out camping here in late January but there was a couple in a tent the first night. You have to book through the reservations.gov website which proved to be problematic as they only open up a week or two due to weather changes this time of year. Bathroom was open and clean but all outside water was turned off to prevent freezing.

Car camped in one of their small tent sites, which are off a busy road with little/no data and far from town. I liked how this was the closest spot to the park, and the company offers activities at their ranch (I took a last-minute trail ride). Check-in at the pizza/rock shop across the road!

Lots of flat area in the trees and views of the canyon. SO QUIET!

Can’t beat the location literally right outside the entrance to Bruce Canyon NP. There is a pull off/parking lot when you turn off the road leading to the NP with more info.
