Utah State Campground

If we were traveling with our ATV I would give this 4 stars. Excellent campground with amazing access to unlimited off-road trails. We opted to ride a UTV with ROAM outfitters which I highly recommend. They have an office right on the campground site. The sand dunes are amazing and picturesque. The sledding is so much fun and if done with a tour you can sled more not having to hike back up the sand hill. Not having sewer hookup we used the bathhouse which is what to be expected except it would be appreciated if they cleaned more.

Really nice

Super clean area with friendly staff. Er had a full hook up pull through site. Some noise from the side by sides but that’s to be expected. From 20pm-7am it’s silent. There’s WiFi outside the office 24/7. No cell service. The Dunes are right beside the campground. Amazing soft pink sand.

Great state park camping

We stayed in a double spot (2/3) and enjoyed the easy camping experience. The campground is divided into two sections (one with electric and one without). Both sides have paved spots with grills, fire rings, and picnic tables. Each side has a bathroom with private showers. There are a few group spots as well. We reserved out site through Utah state parks.

Beautiful and lots of ATVs

This place is gorgeous, unique, and well worth the trip. Campsites are well spaced and spacious and clean, with hookups. It snowed on us the first night so be prepared if you’re in a shoulder season. It’s high elevation and there’s plenty of COLD to experience here! The snow day also meant no ATVs that day so it was beautifully quiet. We aren’t big fans of being around ATVs but they are well regulated and tend to stay in their lanes. They visitors really came out of the woodwork when the sun came out.

Visitor center is small but improving. It has a soda and ice machine. There is wifi at the center and we could text with it using Verizon. Otherwise there’s no cell service.

The sledding is great, bring your own or they rent them also.

So much fun

Great place to stay, was close enough to for a bit of a drive to both Bryce and Zion but wasn’t crowded mid August. Right on the coral pink sand dunes and everyone had a lot of fun renting Off road vehicles to take for a spin.

Great Camping

We stayed two nights in spot 14. It was the perfect spot, across the street from the showers and bathroom, very shaded, and had lots of space for the kids to explore. We couldn’t smell anything from the bathrooms or hear anything, so being so close wasn’t an issue. If anything it was a bonus because we had little kids and it was easy access. Our car and picnic table was shaded some of the day. The bathrooms had just been cleaned when we got there. Very clean place to camp. Our campsite was probably one of the best from the loop. The only downside to our location was you could hear the cars, trucks, Razers flying down the highway. It was very loud at night and hard to ignore when going to sleep. There is absolutely no cell service. Pets are allowed on leash.

Great to be back

I stayed at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park for a few nights last year and loved it so much that I came back with a friend for a few nights. The campground itself is awesome. Each site has a picnic table, grill, fire pit, good parking, trees, and a water pump nearby. The bathrooms are nice (real plumbing) and the showers are heavenly after days on the road without a way to bathe. Love the sand dunes as well. All of the campsites are with in a reasonable distance to the bathrooms and the stars are amazing here. 

This is an awesome place to stay if you want to be close to both Bryce and Zion National Parks. Only downside is that there is absolutely NO cell signal. Great place to get away from everything, but if you're trying to be in contact with the outside world this is not the place to do it.

Site 2/3

We were some of the few people that didn’t have an ATV at this campground. The sounds of the ATVs were not apparent while sleeping at the campground like I thought it would be. We rented sand sleds and enjoyed them on the dunes. The ATVs were rarely where we were on the dunes. Firewood and ice is available at the visitors center. There are ample showers available without having to wait in line. We chose this campground because of it’s close proximity to Zion NP and the amenities it offered out group of travelers.

Clean and convenient

This campground is popular with off-road enthusiasts but quiet and remote. The campsites are a bit small but the place is well-maintained and there's plenty of hot water in the showers. This is a good base for the East entrace to Zion National Park

A welcoming and beautiful environment

I went on a week long trip through several of Utah's national parks with my university Outdoor Recreation club for Spring Break. We spent 2 nights at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, driving into Zion each day. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly ranger who provided us with a warm welcome and all the information we needed during out stay.

The campsites were all spacious and each had their own waterspouts and picnic tables. This was super exciting since we had previously stayed at a campground without any water access. The bathrooms are fully functioning as well and were a nice change from the pit toilets we had been using. It was a relief to come to CPSDSP and find that we could all shower as well. Basically we were very happy with all of the amenities.

The sand dunes themselves are gorgeous and we had a great time sand-surfing and rolling down them. We returned in the middle of the night to do some astrophotography and star gaze. These were probably the best dark zones I've ever seen.

Our second night at CPSDSP we switched campgrounds because we had originally only planned to stay one night. However, it was decided that we didn't want to take the chance with not getting a campsite in Zion so we talked to the ranger and he was extremely helpful in making sure we had a campsite for our second night. He moved us to the group site (there were 10 of us in our group) which was fully equipped and even had picnic tables under a covered area as well as a grill that can be used if you bring your own fuel.

Overall we had a great stay in the park and I am hoping to come back someday.

Quiet and Beautiful

This campground is quiet and out of the way from nearby Zion National Park. This is a great place to stay if the campgrounds near Zion are booked or you want to avoid the crowd, as long as you don't mind the 45 minute drive if you are going to Zion before or after staying here. The ground is mostly sand, except for the paved parking and driving areas. There are plenty of trees for shade, and a picnic table and fire ring are provided. Modern restrooms and showers are provided, but they are not the cleanest, though they are acceptable for a smaller campground in a secluded state park.

The real beauty of this campground is the nearby sand dunes. A short walk from the campground is the pedestrian entrance to the the Coral Pink sand dunes, which seem to go on for miles. There is a small shelter with informational plaques, and a path to where you can walk down to the dunes. Be careful though, because the dunes are very popular with dune buggy and off-road enthusiasts.

amazing campground, middle of nowhere

I really loved the facilities here! the bathroom and showers were so clean and the campsites were very nice and semi private from the other campers! and a fire ring to roast those s’mores!! However, we came in the back way from Zion, which was through unmarked roads, no service, and in the middle of nowhere. Once we were in the park, we felt better, but still no service so just prepare yourself for that. Maybe text your loved ones that you made it before reaching the actual park (but the rangers were nice and let us use their landline).

Seriously Sandy

Coral pink sand dunes is a really cool place. Coming from the east coast, I’ve never seen anything like it. The sand dunes are incredible and my pictures don’t do them justice. There are lots of opportunities for ATVing and sand surfing. We didn’t try either of those but did joke about 6 miles through the dunes. It was a great leg workout and a neat experience. There are some very nice campsites here. We stayed at a more primitive site but were still able to access the free showers (very much needed after a day in the sand!), water, and bathrooms. The rangers were friendly and helpful.

I love the Dunes!

Upon arriving, check-in was easy with the Ranger at the welcome station. From there, it was a VERY short drive to the campsite. There was already wood stacked in front of our campsite for us to use, and the campground host drove by and introduced himself within 5 minutes of our arrival. The campground was clean, the bathrooms and showers were clean, and everyone was very friendly! As in all campsites, the sites were close together. However, we were lucky to not have any neighbors. As far as I know, the quiet hours are enforced as much as possible, and I wasn't woken up by any ATVs. Also, as a plus, the walk to the dunes to watch the sunset is less than a mile. I HIGHLY recommend watching the sunset from this lookout!

Great campground for car camping or RV. The campground is a bit off the main highway, providing for peace and quiet at night. The showers are amazing. There is ATV use in the park, but everyone was respectful of quiet-hours.
