Bryce Canyon

We are headed out for a few weeks of travel after Labor Day. First destination was/is Bryce Canyon. Any recommendations for a 2 or 3 day stay? I just looked at RV Park reviews and it was not very helpful.. The first two sounded pretty bad, and the last one was pretty expensive at 46 dollars a day imo.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Barb

  • We stayed at Rubys Inn end of July. Its expensive but the sites are very large. They said they had Wi-Fi through the park but it was so slow it was useless. It is about a mile from the enterance to Bruce Cyn.
  • I stayed at a KOA between Bryce and Zion and took the toad sightseeing.

  • We stayed at the Red Canyon Campround. No hookups but a excellant dump station and water to fill with. Here is some info.
    Red Canyon is located along Scenic Byway 12, just 9 miles from Bryce Canyon. Passing through it is required to get to Bryce Canyon National Park from the west. From the east, stay on Highway 12, past the junction of highways 12 and 63 for 9 miles, to find Red Canyon. As part of Dixie National Forest, rather than a national park or monument, there are no entry fees to drive through or hike in Red Canyon. Dont know if no hookups will work but the weather should be cool at night and very close to Bryce. Nice and quiet and clean. We had no problem getting a site and we here when school was still out. Google it, it is very pretty. I see you have a big rig there. There is a couple of sites that would probably work but it would be tight.

    Thanks, I will check it out.

  • At Bryce we always stay at Ruby's Inn RV camp located just outside the park entrance. VERY nice cg with water & electric. Sites large nough for big rigs & most are Pull Thru sites. Nice 'Campy' atmosphere in the park even tho it's within walking distance to all amenities ... Motel, resturant, shops & even full service gas station with RV repair bays!
    In the Nat'l Pk. there are 2 camps. Water only. Sites are kinda small & usually full. If you don't need electric there is a really beautiful Forest CG about 10 miles west of Bryce on Rt.12 called Red Canyon. It almost rite across the road from the famous natural tunnel. Great, large sites in wooded area. Its like U'r camped at the bottom of Bryce among the hoodoos. 1st come 1st serve.
    While visiting Bryce make sure to do the Navaho trail hike down into/thru/among the spires. Amazing hike and not too terribly difficult.
    About 10 miles east of Bryce on Rt.12 is Kodachrome State park. Again, water only, but very nice large sites. A great hiking area.
