Great Camping outside of the National Parks
This is a nice alternative to camping in Bryce Canyon National Park. About 38ish mixed use sites (tents and campers mixed in, although most RVs and campers were on the one side and tents on the other loop) right on Highway 12, so there is road noise all day (but it quiets down around 10 or 11 at night). Flush toilets and showers were fairly clean, and there is a nice paved biking/walking trail that cuts right next to the campground. Word has it that if this is full, you can just take one of the forest service roads out a ways and camp there for free, no services. There is a nice visitors center across the road and down about 1/2 mile. Its a good home base if you want to play in Dixie National Forest (several great hiking trails- I recommend the Golden Wall Trail- and mountain biking trails if thats your thing), or if you want to visit Bryce but don't or can't camp there.
