"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."
"Amazing location for Bryce Canyon National Park on the road to the park entrance and shuttle into the park available."
"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."
"We like the terraced pull through full hookup RV sites in the upper back part of the park. Privacy hedges planted between each site in the upper section."
"We prefer boondocking spots because they typically have more space between campsites, and this is true in Kodachrome. Bryce View Campground is down a short dirt road and most sites are pull-throughs."
"Kodachrome basin state park is the place to be if u wanna camp in utah. Where oh where do I begin?! First off, we stayed in BRYCE VIEW campground, #55."

Campground full this weekend
ScoutWhat a great place to stay for the cheap price of $29 per night for full hookups. The roads getting in are great and had no issue at all. RV site all gravel and subject to a few puddles, but all in all for the price and amenities, it’s a great place.
GuideStayed for 2 nights at the Bryce View CG (no hookups). Was very quiet with beautiful views from our site. Sites are well spaced and most feel private. Flush toilets but no hot water in this CG bathroom, potable water and dumpster, and firewood available (small bundles) at the CG for $10/each (cash only) so I would recommend stopping to get some outside the park. Basin CG loop has bathrooms with hot water and great hot showers (free...included in your camping fee). There is a nice store/gift shop and you can also rent mountain bikes. Several hiking trails. Beautiful hiking among the sandstone formations. Beautiful park.
ScoutI came in a camper van thinking there are camping spots next to the tents. Not the case. She let me stay in the van but said they don’t normally. It’s off season. Great place to eat lunch and dinner. It has a very hot shower and a place to do dishes and laundry. Great $13 stay.
TravelerCost effective. Working toilets, water hookups and hot showers for $185 per week on 30 amp. John runs the place with a small staff. Though no instructions are posted, drop your payment through the front door slot. Several cute little budget cabins here and a few long termers up on the hill.
GuideThe scenery here is not Zion but it is really nice for people who just want to get somewhere pretty, do small hikes, and camp. The camp spots are close but the trees make it seem more spacious. The “no generators after 4pm” is also a major plus for those seeking peaceful outdoor camping.
The amenities here deserve special mention here: in short, they are amazing. The showers here are the undisputed nicest public showers we have ever used. The bathrooms are also impeccable. All of the spots have shade (you will need in the summer. There is even a frisbee golf course somewhere here!
GuideThis is place is extremely scenic and quiet but just know you must drive to get to ANY hiking. Walk the dog? I guess 10 laps around the loop? Or risk your life on the gravel road.
GuideThe previous review still apply; facilities are clean and well maintained, staff is friendly. While the spaces are close to each other, they are angled so you aren't necessarily looking out your window and into your neighbor's window. Also, the park wisely put wooden fences between sites so you aren't stepping out your door and into your neighbor's sewage pipe. Washers and dryers all in good working order, bathrooms and showers exceptionally clean.
ScoutThe RV/trailer are is just a gravel lot. You can hear your neighbors conversations and they just sit and watch you. Theres no privacy which is frustrating considering the cost of the site. That said, the WiFi is great and there is a “limited” restaurant onsite plus some other amenities I didn’t take advantage of.
GuideWe stayed here for a few nights in late August and it was pretty slow but perfect. Some things are a little older on the property however for the price you can’t beat it. We will be staying again
