The best camping near Bicknell with swimming

·

Bicknell draws swimmers with over 500 campsites built for easy water access. Expect average rates around $49 a night, with some spots dipping as low as $25. You’ll find campsites near rivers and creeks, perfect for cooling off after a hike or a long day on horseback. Canyons of Escalante RV Park (146 reviews) stands out for its clean sites and quick drives to sandstone canyons. Darrell's Oasis (7 reviews) offers quiet, pet-friendly grounds and a real sense of space. For a more off-the-beaten-track vibe, Manning Creek Campground Paiute ATV (2 reviews) puts you right by the water, with trails threading through the pines. Most sites allow campfires and welcome pets. Showers are common, but double-check each listing if you want to rinse off after a swim. Wildlife-watching is excellent here—bring binoculars for deer and raptors. Hikers and horseback riders have plenty of ground to cover, with trailheads tucked all around town.
