Yonder Escalante

We have a 36’ Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 45 for 4 days in early May. The sites have typical spacing for a private CG, but most are decently sized and angled so you’re not looking in your neighbor’s windows. The CG has made more changes since our last visit 2 years ago, including new deluxe cabins that are nearly finished. The West bathhouse has open air showers(in season), which is a really nice touch. They’re covered in plexiglass in the colder months. The bathhouses are the nicest we’ve seen most anywhere, not just at a campground. The office/lodge building has a nice covered outdoor area with two large gas fire pits, free coffee, fruit and muffins in the morning if you’re so inclined. They also have a“drive-in” theater with vintage cars you can sit in to watch the movies that are shown Thursday-Sunday and free popcorn too. The staff is awesome, very friendly, helpful and very communicative. They even sell a few Dinner Kits and several Cocktail Kits(except on Sundays& holidays- Utah Laws). 

AT&T coverage was good, with 3 Bars of LTE service and speeds up to about 10 MB/s. There were few tall trees, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. We didn’t use the CG WiFi as we had an unobstructed view to the North and so had great Starlink coverage, with speeds up to 17 MB/s. We didn’t try the OTA antenna this time, but had 37 OTA channels last visit with our fixed omni antenna. 

No issues with sewer, though it was a little challenging to get the sewer elbow in tight, as the receptacle was somewhat recessed and a fair distance from our black tank.

This resort is one of a kind! The staff is so friendly and helpful, the grounds are well maintained, and the food is great! They have a pool, drive in theater with classic cars to sit in, laundry and SPA LEVEL outdoor showers!! They have RV hookups, cabins and Airstreams you can rent. Don’t wait, book your stay today!

The campground is spacious, has elements that are decorated in the latest chic, and has a spacious pool but with prices double or even triple those of other campgrounds ($150/night!!), the views and amenities were not SO amazing as to justify the splurge - especially when you’re still just off the road. Add in a “hot tub” that was generously speaking a tepid tub and it all leaves something to be desired - again, as compared to the cost.

Staff were amazing and, as others mentioned, the breakfast food truck is a great feature - just wish it were open beyond breakfast.

there is no signage at this campground and i wandered too far. No one was around to help and now im just wandering.

This is a fun campground. Very few people were there. The campsites are a bit close.
The bathrooms are spa quality. The outdoor showers are very nice. They show a movie every night on an outdoor screen. Everyone who works there were very accommodating. Each site is a full hookup. Trash cans are throughout the campground. Each site has a fire ring.

Awesome amenities with great showers, bathrooms, pool, movie theatre. Staff is super friendly.

We have a 36’ Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 45 for 4 days in early June. The CG is under new ownership and they have done a lot of facility upgrades- new cabins, office/lodge, and bathhouses, one with open air showers that were really nice. The bathhouses are the nicest we’ve seen most anywhere, not just a campground. The office/lodge building has a nice covered outdoor area with two large gas fire pits, free coffee, fruit and muffins in the morning if you’re so inclined. They also have a “drive-in” theater with vintage cars you can sit in to watch the movies that are shown Thursday-Sunday and free popcorn too. The staff is awesome, very friendly, helpful and very communicative. They even sell a few Dinner Kits and several Cocktail Kits(except on Sundays& holidays- Utah Laws). The cucumber jalapeño was particularly tasty. Everything is dirt and gravel like most of this part of the country, so on windy days, as most are, the wind and vehicles do kick up bit of dust. The WiFi was fine on the weekend(up to 2MB/s), when the CG was not very busy, but during the week or when crowded, it was barely usable (generally <100KB/s, but usually <50KB/s). AT&T coverage was good, with 2-3 Bars of LTE service and speeds up to about 8 MB/s. There were few tall trees, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were also 37 OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.

This was probably the best RV resort that I have stayed in by a huge margin. Everything is brand new and sparkly, they have an amazing lounge and a drive in theater

This spot is now owned by Yonder Escalante. They are opening this fall, 2020. We were able to check out the grounds as we drove through Scenic Byway 12. It’s a very convenient location along the highway, close to the towns of Escalante and Boulder. Great proximity to Grand Staircase Canyons unit, Bryce Canyon NP and Capitol Reef NP. The grounds have cabins and renovated Airstreams for rent as well as RV sites to “bring your own.” They’re building lots of amenities like a hot tub, pool, clubhouse, movie nights, breakfast offerings and (hopefully) powerful wifi. They were in the midst of building the clubhouse as we poked around. It looks like an awesome new addition to the area. “Hipster camping” might be a good term for it, but I’m into the vibe, 100%... looking forward to staying here once they open!
