Decent State Park Canpground

Camp store is right across from tent area entrance. Easy access to most parts of the park. Best trails are on the other side of the river. It rages after a good rain.

A bit crowded

A couple of the tent sites are waterfront and ideal for a tenter like me. The rest seem a little packed together, though some offer a little bit of seclusion. Decent facilities and easy access to Devil’s Backbone section of Cumberland trail.

A wonderful spot

Perched on the rim and a nexus of trails that will take you to everything you want to see in this part of the park. Short hike in (3 miles from Stone Door lot). Views of canyon in winter.

Excellent for a short in/out

Great site right above the falls. A short walk down to a perfect little perch over the top of the falls and the stairs to the bottom. Fee to reserve is nominal and there is a 10% discount for TN residents.

Bathrooms closed in July

No showers and portable toilets for camper use. Not a big deal for me, but I know some might prefer another campground as a result. Active barred owls in the campground. Quite a treat watching them.

New experience

Beautiful site, cool and informed tour, open placement for tent sites. No water available at time of my stay. Showers available at nearby state park after park entrance fee. Enjoyed the chill time at the campfire on the silo. Worth the stop.

Another planet

Good shelters, cool spots, amazing scenery. A little out of the way, but quite worth it. Be sure to include Little Wild Horse Bell Canyon if you want to see some slot canyons.

Great spot, ok facilities

Was in a tent. Some spots shaded, some not. Might want to call to make sure if you need shade. The petrified forest trail was a lot better than I expected. Do the full loop. Extremely close to town and services.

Right at the entrance

The campground is indeed right at the gateway road to Bryce Canyon. There is a shuttle stop right at the entrance (need a park pass to board). Tent sites are first come, first served and some lack shade, so plan arrival time accordingly.

Habituated Ravens!

The Ravens are ubiquitous. Not a problem in the site, but be mindful. Showers were closed during my visit, but are supposed to open again soon.

Met my needs

I stayed in as deluxe tent site for one night after visiting the nearby national parks. Restaurants within walking distance, pleasant staff. Facilities are ok.

Awesome location between Page and Kanab

First off, no service (food, gas) within 25 miles, BUT I rented here for three days and the spot was perfect for nearby hiking trails (wire pass, toadstool hoodoos, buckskins gulch). Bathrooms were very nice, rest of the property under renovation.

Great location

Excellent for a my stop into Albuquerque to see the Sandia Mountains (the view from the top of the tram is better than the view from the top of the road up, by the way - if you are hiking, you’ll see both; If not, maybe that will affect your decision on how to go up) and Petroglyph National Monument (well worth your time). Campground tent sites were spaced fairly well and level. Facilities were sufficient. Overall, a pleasant experience and provided what I needed.

Fantastic experience

Spacious site with a very nice shelter. Creek and canyon were my backyard! Very cool trails, friendly staff. The nearby town of the same name has limited service offerings, but this park was a wonderfully pleasant experience on a meandering road trip from TN to UT.

Good spot

My favorite thing about this campground was it’s proximity to Narrows of the Harper, which I wanted to hike. Tent site, a little close in the campground, but not so bad it affected the experience negatively. Facilities well-maintained.

Tent site on rim

Check with park before booking. Park was closed due to a marathon inside the gate (my fault for not checking), but I could walk the zip line road at the campground for great views and the horse rides just down the road provided a cool experience. Sites are just open lawn type. Get there early if the view matters to you.

Perfect little oasis

Stayed here on a meandering trip from Tennessee to Utah. Tent Camped on lawn. Site was $10, shower and laundry (with dry) $3 each. Tiny, quiet, well-maintained, with great owners and a short drive to town for meals. Great Route 66 stop.

Eagle’s Nest Campground

I had Eagle’s Nest to myself… in June. No perks out there, but if you are looking for quiet and distanced sites, this is the site for you in the park. Robber’s Cave itself if a cool little walk on the rocks, though the cave itself has been ravaged by tourists or locals with a need to make their mark. Sheesh. Still, worth a stop if traveling through the area.

Pleasanty surprised

Quite beautiful park and a nice campground. Spaces can be close together, but comfortable. The park just kept yielding pleasant surprises. Be sure to hit the point overlook to the east of the park entrance. Great sunset spot.

Short walk to visitor center

Decent facilities, well maintained. Sites are spacious with distance between. Short walk to visitor center/trailheads. Comes in handy if you need to queue up early for same-day cave tickets.
