The best camping near Bicknell with fishing

5. Manti-La Sal National Forest

Trivia time! Which part of Utah contains the densest black bear and largest elk population? The Manti-La Sal National Forest, of course! How about this one: where does most of the coal mined in Utah come from? Well, 85% of it is mined right here in the Manti-La Sal. This special forest is full of natural surprises, like lofty mountaintops, lush meadows, cavernous sandstone canyons, plus plenty of water. If it sounds like there’s a ton of diversity here, that’s because there truly is! All of this diversity means that there’s a lot to do out here. Near Moab, the forest is home to the La Sal Mountains with their tall peaks and narrow canyons. To the north, on the Wasatch Plateau, you’ll be yearning for your next road trip along the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byways (also called the Energy Loop). And when it comes time to hit the hay at night? You guessed it—there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

We had an amazing stay at Canyons of Escalante RV Park. We originally booked an RV site—which was level, spacious, and had full hookups—but ended up grabbing a cabin last minute too because they looked so inviting… and we’re so glad we did! The cabin was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with A/C, a mini-fridge, microwave, and a private porch surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The amenities are excellent: pristine private showers, fast and reliable Wi-Fi, clean laundry facilities, shaded picnic areas, fire rings. Everything is well-maintained and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to relax and enjoy your time. Between the stunning surroundings, top-tier amenities, and outstanding hospitality, this park is an absolute gem. We’ll definitely be back—and booking both an RV site and a cabin again!
