Sunset Campground — Bryce Canyon National Park

This is one of only 2 campground in Bryce Canyon NP. It is to be a first come first serve but now during the busy season reservations are required. Sunset camprground is quieter and less busy than North campground and the sites feel a bit more secluded. Direct access to biking and hiking trails. There is also a shuttle stop right at the entrance of the campground which allows you to leave your car behind while you visit the park. Except for loop A, the driveway surface for most sites is uneven, something to consider if you have a van. Vans can reserve in both the RV and tent section. Another perk of using a camper van.

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.

This campsite was amazing and so convenient to be in the park. We were here during the eclipse weekend and were surprised at how quiet the campground was despite it being full. The trees help with shade & dulling the noise. There is two loops that are strictly tents only which is super nice. Facilities were clean and easily accessible. $20 a night or 50% if you have an interagency pass. Nice fire ring & picnic table at each spot. Well maintained and was so much fun. Just to note some spots are on a bit of a slope.

This campground was first come first serve, so I was worried it would already be packed since I was visiting over Labor Day weekend. Thankfully there were plenty of open spots. Close to lots of trails and view points in the park.

On a 6 month road trip with no reservations. Pulled in on Sunday, June 4th and had several site options. Bathrooms are clean as is the camp sink. Loop A is RV only. 3 dumpsters for trash. Dump station and water fill is included in reservation. $5 for those without. Fairly level asphalt pads with fire pit and picnic table. Nice setting among the trees. Shuttle stop and access to multi use path at top of hill. Ram truck towing a 22” TT Stayed 3 nights as there is plenty to explore.

Very welcome and friendly staff, all clean and well organised! Amazing park with great layout.

This site was $20 a night which is such a steal for the location. Definitely plan on getting there early and reserving a site ASAP, they fill up super quick. The sites were a little close together, but you can hike out of them straight into the park. Easy to reserve your site, the bathrooms were super clean and there was even a separate room just for washing dishes which was so so so nice. No views of the park, just in the woods. But it was a great place to stay for visiting Bryce Canyon! Highly recommend, just get there early!!! Tents, RVS, the whole works. PS. The animals in the area are super friendly and clearly get fed ALL the time (they’ll walk right up to you) so just remember to keep your distance and don’t feed them!!!!!

Plenty of shade and pine trees. The campground was pretty quiet, and the bathrooms are exceptionally clean.

this is fine for a night, but during a busy summer day with lots of families and kids it would be loud. no views from the campground, though ponderosa pine would provide shade on hot summer day. convenient for an early morning hike. most rv spots are pretty level.

We went in late December of 2020 and there was about a foot of snow down. It was one of the best campgrounds on our trip!

Here at the end of September. Clean bathrooms with flushing toilets central and accessible. Water readily available. Fairly quiet as far as public campsites go. Routinely monitored by park staff.

This spot is very gorgeous and is an easy walk to the canyon view points! One thing to look out for are the fees! We chose this spot thinking it was a free camp site, turns out there’s a pay to stay right at the front of the campground. Rangers enforce the rules pretty heavily! V

Nice campground, and clean bathrooms

3⭐️ b/c I didn’t really get to explore the campground much so I don’t think it makes sense to give it more. However I’d give it 5⭐️ just based on my limited stay.

This was a 1 night stop between Zion and Page, AZ.

It was quiet and private. Our site extended pretty far back. There were sites on the sides but not visible from our site. Stars were gorgeous.

Visitor center had a helpful ranger to help with planning. Catching the sunrise was a short (maybe 5 min drive).

Highly recommended as staying in the national park is a plus.

Stayed there Oct 2021

Nice campground. Good maintenence. Learned that the difference between tent and rv is defined by: rv has fixed sink and toilet. Our van without fixed sink and without build in kitchen was charged as tent.

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.

Clean, well-maintained campsites with flush toilets and showers. No electricity or water. Wonderful dark skies at night. Beautiful sunrise views.

Sunset Campground was amazing.  Easy access to the shuttle system and multiple trails.  Amenities were great and site was nice and private.  You can buy everything you need at Ruby's Inn General Store back in town.  Great spot.

We booked the campground a few days ago and we were nervous about the location. We loved the site. We were close to the modern bathroom with dish area for doing dishes. The sites are pretty close together so you can hear talking and van doors.

Sites were nice and quiet. Bathrooms were good. Bryce Canyon is right across from the campground.

Not within eyesight of the main attraction of Bryce, but is hiking distance. Overall spacious for a major national park and well maintained. Close enough to the viewpoints that a quick drive for sunset/sunrise is a breeze.

The campground was in a beautiful spot with very convenient distance to a lot of the scenic viewpoints and hikes. The bathroom was very nice and clean as well. They have flush toilets with sinks, soap, and an air dryer to dry your hands. I would have given it 5 stars if the campsites weren’t so close to each other. Other than that, it was very nice!

There isn’t a ton of privacy but I really like this campground and Bryce is just amazing! Most sites have the table/fire pit area behind your RV/trailer and not on the side. If you’re going in the summer and want shade I suggest bringing a pop up tent because you may not get to use your awning much since you’re not setting up on the side.

This is a large campground in a wooded area offering shade and some privacy.  There are 50 RV sites, 50 tent sites and 1 group site.   No water, sewer or electric.  Great proximity to the trails of the main park.

Nicely organized campground. Walkable to Sunset Point. All sites in Loop B have easy access to bathroom. Clean facilities include bathroom, dish sink, water (no shower). Picnic table and a fire ring with grill provided. Open, some shade, no privacy. Room for one vehicle each site. Our 18' van fit just right. Loop B, #267.

Awesome campground! Nicely located just a short walk to Bryce ampetheter

Did not camp here, campground was full. Drove through and looked though. Just as nice as the North Campground although no trails start out of here.

Decided to head to Bryce Canyon and camp at Sunset campground. I was in site 249 the last site for RV’s in loop A. Spacious spot however very little privacy. There are plenty of pine trees for shade. Close walk out of the campground and you can catch the shuttle to look-out points or trails. Campground was clean and the host very friendly. Has no hookups but they do have large trash bins at the entrance of the campground. I would definitely stay there again.

Talked to the ranger at North Campground (which was full by 4 pm) and she said they closed Sunset a week or so ago due to cold temps and no campers. Now the weather is perfect but they are not re-opening Sunset, despite loads of campers here today.

Sunset is one of two campgrounds in Bryce Canyon National Park in Southwest Utah. Bryce is a beautiful canyon and a must see if you are touring southern Utah. The canyon top drive extends over twenty miles with numerous lookouts points. The campgrounds are close to the main entrance and provide a great option for all levels of campers. The sites are occupied by primarily tent campers as well as smaller trailers and vans. The campground is in a nice wooded ponderosa pine area within walking and biking distance of the canyon. The campground roads were recently repaved and the sites were well maintained. Each site had a fire ring and picnic table as well as close access to fresh drinking water. The campground is a great launching point for riding bikes and going on hikes throughout the park. Bryce does not get the same number of visitors as Zion but you will need to make a reservation during the peak season to secure a campsite. We visited in October and the campground was full and had been for the previous two weeks. The temps got down to the low 20s at night in October. So you will need to pack a warm sleeping bag and winter ready gear. While we preferred Zion and Arches Park, Bryce is with the visit.
