Weekend Trip to Canyons of Escalante RV Park

This was the most put together camp that we stayed in during our visit to Utah. They were attentive to our questions and the site was exactly what they said it was going to look like. We felt very safe there and extremely comfortable in the public spaces. We will definitely be staying again!

What a wonderful find. Small clean RV park with a few cabins to rent. My cabin was clean and the landscaping around was beautiful. I will be back with my RV next trip.

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!

Fantastic Stay – Spotless, Well-Equipped, and Exceptional Service We had a wonderful stay at Canyons of Escalante RV Park. The entire property is spotless—easily the cleanest facilities we’ve seen on the road. The showers, restrooms, and laundry were immaculate, and the amenities are top-notch: fast Wi-Fi, private showers, a well-kept dog park, shady picnic areas, and beautiful landscaping. What really made our visit exceptional was Ben. When we had a mechanical failure, he went out of his way to help us—far beyond what we expected. His kindness and support turned a stressful moment into a manageable one, and we’re incredibly grateful. This park is a gem—quiet, clean, and close to incredible hiking and scenic drives. Highly recommend it, and we’ll definitely be back!

6 nights at Canyons of Escalante RV Park

We loved our stay here! Ben and Lacy love their little campground. And so did we. The laundry room is big. The gardens and art work are a beautiful touch.

The cabin is the perfect size for having a home base at the end of a day of adventuring. The king size bed was comfy, but the pillows were thin and we only got one each which was a little uncomfortable. The grounds are well maintained and well lit at night with motion lights so it feels safe and secure. We had a nice, relaxing time!
