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.

1 night at Burger Barn Camp Out

We had such a great stay at Burger Barn! The site was really nice—clean, peaceful, and had full hookups, which made everything convenient. The location is perfect—a short drive to Bryce Canyon National Park and really close to the lake, so there’s plenty to do nearby. Ashlee and her husband Ahmad were incredibly kind and welcoming. They run the restaurant, but she was there to help us check-in and made sure we could find her if we needed anything. The food at Burger Barn was amazing and we ate there quite a few times during our stay. They sometimes have live music on the weekends, which we really enjoyed. In front is a really cute gift shop/boutique that has a variety if products -- freshly baked bread, apparel, candles, stickers, etc. We loved finding a few things to take home here. (There's also a general store that's right next door.) Would definitely come back again—thanks so much for the hospitality!

2 nights at Kolob Campground

The site was great for our group of 8 and two trailer campers. The path to the lake was so easy to go back and forth. John was responsive to my questions prior to our stay and Norm, from the rental shop, was super helpful and knowledgeable about the whole area and had all we needed. The bathrooms were well maintained and the lake is cold but such a nice break from the heat. We will definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Bryce Valley Ranch RV and Horse Park

The site was beautiful and well maintained! Our favorite place we stayed on our roadtrip. Will definitely come back :)

2 nights at Kolob Campground

We had to relocated from Pine Valley due to the fire and found this little gem at Kolob. It was a wonderful location with the lake close by. The weather was perfect but the only drawback was how dry and dusty it was, the dust got into everything! Besides the dust, it was wonderful!

5 nights at Paria River Ranch

Great little spot, they even have ice available to purchase making the stay very easy. Nice showers and restrooms as well as ample camping area. Would definitely recommend!

2 nights at Kolob Campground

My seven year old grandson and I loved our visit to Kolob!! The site and site host couldn’t have been better. Be prepared for an amazing off the grid experience. Awesome in every way!!

2 nights at Kolob Campground

We camped here while on a birding trip to Utah. This campground was one of the birdiest places we've ever camped. So many great birds to see and hear!

3 nights at Zion Family Ranch Campground and RV

We had a great stay here! The property was well maintained and the pavilion by the pond was a great place to get some shade and cool off. We were very impressed by the bathrooms. We’ve been staying at state parks for the last two weeks so the bathrooms here were like a luxury resort to us! We appreciated the host’s attention to detail at this hipcamp.

3 nights at Zion Family Ranch Campground and RV

This was a beautiful and serene location! We had a great time relaxing by the pond. The bathrooms were also very nice and well maintained. Our only criticism is that there are only two bathrooms, each with one toilet and one shower for all the campers. We often had to wait a while to use the bathroom as both would be taken for awhile as folks/families were showering. Adding an outhouse as a third toilet without a shower would really help with that. Other then that we had a great stay!

2 nights at Ranchito Feliz

Roy is super kind and the property was wonderfully managed and super pretty!

2 nights at Ranchito Feliz

This place is magical and so is Roy. He and his property made our trip really memorable. For anyone traveling alone with kids you will find this place feels very safe and welcoming. Roy is extremely kind to kids and has a lot of really cool things to share with them about geology, dinosaurs and suggestions for kid friendly activities. Don’t miss it.

3 nights at Bryce Canyon Shadows Campground

Bathrooms/shower in same room and close by. Clean place. Less than a quarter mile from main road. Coffee available on self-serve brewed. No ice. Electric and water hookup at campsite. Shaded sites were available.

1 night at Bryce Valley Ranch RV and Horse Park

We loved staying here! All of the employees were so kind and hospitable. Additionally, the amenities were great. The bathrooms were very clean and nice! My boys had a great time at the park. I highly recommend this place!

1 night at Strawberry Point Retreat

A great, quiet and perfect star gazing location! If you come in 1 hour before sunset, be ready for thousands of deer on the roads getting there (not an exaggeration).

Weekend Trip to Kolob Campground

This was a great campground! Really appreciate the location, next to a lake and on the north end of Zion NP - plenty of hikes to do nearby and the higher elevation was great during the evenings to get out of the summer heat! Everything was as described - potable water and restrooms nearby. It was also super easy to find the camp site. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Kolob Campground

We chose one of the larger spots for an rv. I like more seclusion and this worked well. There are also smaller spots for closer campers. Close to water access. Sites were clean and the people were nice.

Weekend Trip to Zion Family Ranch Campground and RV

Beautiful, quiet campground! Great amenities. Responsive hosts. We would come back!

3 nights at Kolob Campground

This is a really beautiful location and the campsites are well-maintained and specious. We enjoyed our time and John is a very thoughtful camp host. 10/10 would camp again.

Weekend Trip to Bryce Zion Campground

Really clean bathroom. This was a very peaceful place to stay with gorgeous views!

Ranchito Feliz

6 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Cannonville, UT

When booking please add in your note the type of camping you are doing, ie. tent, car, van, or larger RV and please, only texts...NO calls. In the middle of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument; adjacent to Bryce Canyon National Park; within walking distance of Kodachrome Basin State Park; and an easy drive to Zion and Capital Reef National Parks, as well as Lake Powell National Recreational Area, this unique site is an opportunity not to miss. The pet/horse friendly property (approximately 9 acres/3 ha/64 sq. m) boasts private designated single tent sites, and a mix car camping and larger RV sites, as well as paleontological, geological, biological, astronomical, and historical interests of the ranch. The equestrians will find three paddocks, a round pen, as well as beautiful places to ride from the ranch. This secluded location has a small town of about (Cannonville) three miles/5 k a Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Visitor Center. And, bonus, the in town campground has: high speed internet, and cell phone service and laundry. This ranch and campground is an off the grid, passive/active solar voltaic, so no electricity, no internet and only Verizon works here. In Tropic 12 miles distant all carriers get service. Potable water, shower, dish washing station and composting toilet (This means that all campers count when booking, even the kids...their poops add up too). The views are spectacular from any site where the xeroscaped landscape uses indigenous material and plants to complement the quintessential Pinon/Juniper ecosystem the campground sits in. On three sides you are surrounded by red cliffs in the Carmel Formation which can give shelter from wind and sun, but campers can also look out over the Paria River (you can hear the river from camp as well as its amphibians) which runs south in front of the property and eventually meets the Colorado River at Lee’s Ferry where most put-in to raft the Grand Canyon. Looking north, one sees the meaning of the term “Grand Staircase” by viewing The Entrada, Tropic Shale, Straight Cliffs, Wahweap, Kaiparowits, and Pink Limestone Formations capped by late Tertiary Volcanism; or, the “steps” of Promise Rock, Sand Point, Powell Point, and the Aquarius Plateau (highest forested mesa in North America at over eleven thousand feet.). The biological diversity here is also astounding: Birds: 140 species and counting including the tiny Costa’s Humming Bird all the way up to the enormous California Condor. Plants: 2 species of Sagebrush, 4 species of trees, numerous grass species, and a plethora of beautiful wildflowers and cacti. Reptiles: Many species of snakes and lizards. Unfortunately, this includes the occasional rattlesnake. It is advised that you have your pets vaccinated. Amphibian: Toads and Salamanders Insects: There are very few mosquitos. There are a few biting Deer Flies, and worse yet, those damn gnats. These “no-see-ums” are temperature dependent so are not a bother in the shade, early mornings, late evenings and at night. It is recommended that you bring some kick ass insect repellant and a “bee hat” if you are out and about in the sun during the day between May and July. Fossils: Bivalves, snails, petrified wood (many types) and various other corals, insects and plant fossils abound and are often incorporated into the ranch infrastructure. The nearby area is considered the hottest paleontological spot on the planet. Astronomy: The area is widely considered to be under the darkest skies in the lower 49. The Milky Way and Presides are common sights without the unsightly annoyance of any neighbor’s lights. The climate is varied and interesting. All four seasons are here and occasionally all in one day. Winter snows melt quickly though temperatures can dip into the sub-zeros. The 5,900 ft./1800 m. elevation keeps the summer temps reasonable and always gives a chilly summer evening to cool things off. If you want climatic extremes, you can, within an hour or so, be at Lake Powell and its 100+ F/38+ C heat or on the Aquarius Plateau at 65 degrees F/18 C in midday June. Recreation on many levels is all within proximity. From canyoneering, “free” climbing on an established nearby crag composed of a welded tuff capping the Aquarius Plateau (see Mountain Project and “The Aquarius Plateau”) and many aid lines on Entrada Formation towers within walking distance (see Mountain Project and “The Grand Staircase”), water sports of Lake Powell and the Colorado River as well as fishing in the cool temps of Pine Lake 35 minutes distant. Then of course, there is the Monument, National Park and the State Park only a short drive away. Seclusion, security, water, and views all within a short walk or drive of exiting destinations, make this worth the stop.

It was part of a larger, 2,500 acre parcel that has been used for grazing sheep the last 100 or so years. As was common in those days, the male heir inherited the larger portion to continue the family business of sheep, and the three females inherited 1 acre each. My paternal grandmother fondly recalls spending her summers exploring the flora and fauna and staying overnight in a small cabin that they called “Camp Joy.” My father, also used to visit this area during his youth and has many fond memories of when the family would “Hie to Kolob.” My grandmother, being too old to enjoy the place herself, wanted to sell her portion to someone who would be able to enjoy it in this life. She didn’t believe in restricting access to the wonderful and uniquely awe inducing land surrounding Zion National park. She knew humans are just mere stewards , temporarily living off the land that Mother Nature has so generously provided for. My father and mother also shared this vision so (with his sisters/cousins permission) he purchased her share and the two adjoining lots that were owned by his aunts and combined them so we could have a place to park our trailers in the summertime. The advent of the internet and the resurgence of people wanting to go somewhere with their families to experience the peace and tranquility one can only find in the wilds, led us to feel that sharing this slice of heaven was not only economical but the right thing to do. So much of Kolob and the surrounding areas are marked off by private property, owners who aren’t even there to enjoy it 99% of the time. So we felt divinely called to offer our humble slice of heaven to likeminded individuals, seeking tranquility and peace but for some cosmic reason didn’t stand to inherit private property in the middle of one of the most beautiful places on earth. So welcome friend. We only ask, as you leave this place, to please bring with you this spirit of abundance and joy to wherever you call home.

Camping in Bryce Canyon National Park guide

Overview

About

Set in the southwestern corner of Utah, Bryce Canyon National Park is famous for its shale and sandstone rock formations, known as hoodoos or fairy chimneys, which dominate the landscape. Hiking and photography, unsurprisingly, are particularly popular activities, and the park offers a variety of trails that range from easy walks along the rim to more challenging backcountry hikes. The visitor center also offers a variety of educational programs, from ranger-led horseback rides to an interpretive film about the park’s geological history. You can even camp among the hoodoos, either at one of two campgrounds or at one of 10 backcountry campsites.

Notable campgrounds

Great for families: North Campground offers reservable sites (in the high season) and its own general store.
Great for hikers: Sunset Campground has both tent and RV sites just a five-minute walk from the Rim Trail.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Sunset Campground is open seasonally, from mid-April through the end of October. All sites are allocated on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis, except for the reservable group site.
North Campground sites are reservable for the period between Memorial Day weekend and October 1. During the rest of the year, sites are allocated on an FCFS basis.
Reservable campsites can be booked up to six months in advance on the National Park Service (NPS) website. Reservations open at 7am Pacific Time, and it’s wise to reserve right when they go live.
If you're looking for a large RV park with amenities near the park, Ruby's Inn RV Park and Campground is as close as it gets.

When to go

Bryce is at its busiest between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, when campsites are often at capacity and popular hiking circuits are at their most crowded. The weather this time of year is characterized by hot days and moderately cool evenings, excellent for camping. Visit in early to mid-May or mid to late September to catch the beginning (or tail end) of the warm season and avoid crowds.

Know before you go

You can pick up groceries and supplies in Panguitch, just under a 30-minute drive away.
Bryce trails can be sandy and rocky, so it's wise to wear hiking boots with ankle support.
Drink plenty of water. The park is dry and at a high elevation, and it's easy to get dehydrated quickly, without even realizing it.
The Bryce Canyon Visitor Center is wheelchair accessible, and accessible restrooms and parking are available. A half-mile section of the Rim Trail is wheelchair accessible, as are sites 223 and 224 at Sunset Campground.
RV travelers will love the space and proximity to the park provided by Ruby's Inn.

Bryce Canyon Review

We enjoyed our time in Bryce, though it was a little smokey due to a nearby fire, so something to keep in mind during fire season. It's very accessible and there is a free shuttle included with your entrance fee that takes you to all the cool spots in the park. We parked at the shuttle station, took it to one stop, hiked to another, and then caught the shuttle back to the main shuttle stop. So convenient! There are also some eating options in the park -- a general restaurant and a pizza spot that is also a cafe (Valhalla Pizza). It was a fun and easy National Park visit. And the views were amazing!

Do the hikes! Worth the view.

Absolutely amazing. We started at Sunrise Point, hiked down through Queens Garden and came up through Wall Street to Sunset Point. It was several hours, but was beautiful. The hike down Queens Point is in the sun with little shade, so I recommend starting there in the morning. the hike up, while tired, through Wall Street was much better with places to stop in the shade. I would also recommend Inspiration Point. There are 3 levels of viewing. While it's a hike uphill, the views get better at each higher level.
