Best Tent Camping near Tropic, 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.

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.

This was our second stay. 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. Beautiful hills, scenery. 15-20 minutes from Bryce, without the circus of "Ruby's tourist traps" right outside of the park. Really nice management. Quiet. Convenient kitchen wash area, showers, laundry in a satellite convenience station for the upper campsites. Cabins and tent sites available as well. Gas, restaurants and groceries available in the adjacent township of Tropic.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kodachrome Basin was a very nice surprise for our grand camping tour of Utah this Fall. This place is truly a Kodak moment. The rock structures throughout the park are incredible. The campground is about 10 minutes drive to Cannonville the nearest town and about 30 minutes from Tropic Utah. Tropic has a nice coffee shop with free WiFi, a grocery store, cafe, and a new large gas station. The State Park has just about everything you need they have a 24 hour laundry, dump station, water, and wash stations. The bathrooms and showers are the best we have ever seen at a campsite and look like something out of a modern show home. The staff are very friendly and helpful and each site is meticulously cleaned. Each campsite had a fire ring and a picnic table. We stayed in site 12 which had privacy and plenty of space. They have some great hiking paths as well as horse trails. This park sets the standard for State Parks and was the hidden gem from our trip.

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!

Located on the East end of Zion National Park. You'll find less traffic and quieter area opposed to the campgrounds located near Springdale, Utah on the south end of the park. Full RV hook-ups, tent sites available as well. Laundry facility to refresh you sweaty & dusty gear. Showers to enjoy after a day of hiking and sight seeing. Short drive to Bryce Canyon National Park.

The tent site were a little tight for our camper van so they pro rated us the tent price for the first night. Very clean showers and bathrooms. Washing machines and dryers available for a fee in an air conditioned room. Very friendly staff!

Stayed here one night in our camper van. Not a lot of rv spaces (completely full when we showed up late on a Saturday night) so we opted for a tent site which was cheaper anyways and they had plenty of open slots for a Saturday. It probably helped that it was rainy for the tent sites.

Good location, about 5 minutes down the road from Zion's east entrance. And zion is just amazing! Highly recommend taking a few days here!

The grounds have nice showers and restrooms along with coin-op laundry and foosball tables. Decent wifi (writing this review here) and nice couches in lounge area.

And the view is amazing to wake up too here! See photos.

This was our first time tent camping and this couldn’t have been a better place to do it. The amenities were great and they had clean bathrooms. All the sites have fire rings, and the general store has everything you need that you may not have thought of as a first-timer.
