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 Cannonville 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.

Learn more about this land:
Welcome to Road to the Sun Ranch, our quiet RV retreat in Grover, Utah, near Capitol Reef National Park. We created this site for travelers who want a peaceful place to land at the end of the day — somewhere with wide-open views, quiet evenings, and the feeling of being away from it all, without giving up the ease of full hookups.
The ranch sits along Scenic Highway 12 near the base of Boulder Mountain, about 6 miles from Torrey and approximately 15 miles from Capitol Reef National Park.
The property is a mix of open pasture, desert sage, pinyon pine, mountain views, and big Southern Utah sky. It is a beautiful place to slow down, watch the light move across the landscape, and enjoy the quiet side of Capitol Reef Country.
We offer just one private RV/trailer/van site, so you will not be tucked into a crowded campground or sharing the space with a row of other campers. The site includes water, power, sewer, WiFi, and a picnic table, making it a comfortable basecamp for exploring Capitol Reef, Boulder Mountain, Torrey, Scenic Highway 12, Fishlake National Forest, the Burr Trail, and the surrounding red-rock country.
This site is best for self-contained RVs, trailers, and camper vans. Guests need to have their own bathroom available, so we are not able to accommodate tent-only camping or car camping.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and the private setting is one of the things dog owners tend to love most. We just ask that you clean up after pets, pack out your trash, and help us keep the ranch peaceful and clean for the next guests.
For safety, open wood-burning fires are not permitted. Maximum trailer length is 28 feet, and maximum RV length is 35 feet. Class A motorhomes are not recommended. Livestock may be present in adjacent pastures during the summer and fall months, typically June through September.
The site is open seasonally from April through October. We hope Road to the Sun Ranch gives you a quiet, comfortable place to rest, explore, and enjoy this beautiful part of Southern Utah.

We couldn’t have asked for more during our stay at Boulder Meadow. It was self check-in, so we picked our RV spot and had no problems hooking up to power and water. There’s a new structure that has some of the nicest, cleanest bathroom/shower rooms I’ve seen along with laundry and a vending machine. You’re a short 8min drive to Boulder and a couple of must stop restaurants. We only stayed one night but would easily stay for longer on our next visit.

OMG! What an amazing, unique place. Roy was THE most wonderful host, and even helped us with some car trouble. He has 2 wonderful doggies, and 2 very friendly burrows to pet, which made it special. He has unique setups for each camp spot and he has done all the work himself, placing every rock, creating every comfort for off grid camping. A composting out house, a triple sink with soak and potable water, a brisk shower... please visit Roy. Tell him Terri & Ted from Colorado sent ya!

Quiet and secluded. Easy to get too and close to Capitol Reef NP and Torry. The pad Zach let us use was flat and solid with easy hookups. We love this place and will stay there again when were in the area. The Mountain View’s were wonderful.

Ruby's Inn is not just a full hookup site but a kind of RV Resort -- like the DisneyLand of National Park full hookup sites.
Tons of spaces, friendly helpful staff, extremely clean showers, and dozens of random extras like pool, laundry, groceries, old-timey photos, etc.
We loved it, but if you're out just for quiet and nature, it might not be for you.

Overview
About
It’s all about the adventure at Escalante. Go boating on the reservoir, or fish for rainbow trout and bluegill. Be sure to bring your hiking shoes — the best way to explore is on foot.
Step back in time on the Petrified Forest Trail. It winds past ancient lava flows and petrified wood that’s over a million years old. Looking for a challenge? The Sleeping Rainbows Trail offers scrambling and climbing opportunities.
In the visitor center, examine fossilized dinosaur bones and plant and marine fossils. You can even see an entire petrified tree — roots and all. Interpretive exhibits explain local Fremont Indian history.
Two campgrounds provide plenty of places to sleep during your visit. Lake View offers spots for RVs, with hookups. At Wide Hollow, you'll find tent spots. Both areas offer showers and water to keep you comfortable.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Escalante Petrified Forest State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer months can be hot, so if you're visiting then, be sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection. Winters are cold, and some facilities may be closed, so check ahead for seasonal hours.
Know before you go
- Check weather conditions before your visit, as the park can experience extreme temperatures.
- Wear appropriate footwear for hiking on trails where petrified wood and fossils are abundant.
- Wide Hollow Reservoir offers boating and fishing opportunities; ensure you have the necessary permits.
- Be mindful of park rules to preserve the natural and historical features of the park.
- Accessibility may vary throughout the park, so inquire ahead if you have specific needs.

If they are full you can go onto hole in the rock road and camp for free because it’s BLM land. If you set to camp at that park tho you can wait till right when the park closes and they will give you a place to set up your tent by the picnic tables.

This site has a nice reservoir adjacent to the camping site. Sites are paved and not too much shade, as it is not located at a very high elevation. They are also close together. Tradeoff is that there are hot showers (8 min. max., then they shut off and won't go back on for 9 minutes), potable water, a dish washing station (with one of those huge commercial sprayers) and flushing toilets and running water sinks. It is not primitive by any means, but makes a nice place to get in a shower in between stays at more remote or primitive camp sites.
