Can on pull a 5er through the tunnel on UT-12 to get from US-89 to Bryce Cyn and is there camping once I get there

We were in Zion and Bryce (but not camping) during this week in December 4 years ago. Unless your fiver is specifically rigged for cold weather camping I wouldn't chance frozen pipes in Utah this time of year. If it is so rigged then more power to you. No crowds: you have the place to yourself. Quiet, serene, and cold. Ruby's would be my recommendation also.

Yes, the tunnel is very large. The park sites are hard to get & usually small, no hookkups. We always stay at Ruby's Inn just outside the entrance to Bryce. Full hookups and very large sites with a 'Campy' atmosphere. Ruby's complex has everything you'll need, even RV repair & gas across the street. Nice shops, resturants, motel if the DW get fedup. lol. Make sure to do the Navajo trail hike to the bottom of the hoodoos. AMAZING! Another GREAT camp is just west of Bryce on the hyway called Red Canyon Forest campground. Entrance is just pass the tunnel. Its my favorite in the west. Very large, well spaced, paved sites, modern pit toilets, but water only.

Yes, Highway 12 is the best bet to get there from the 89.

As for camping, there are two campsites in the National Park itself. North Campground has 13 RV sites, and Sunset Campground has 80 RV sites available. You can review the information on the link I'm providing below.

Please note the following:

1. The campgrounds are closed in winter.
2. Sunset campground will be undergoing a major renovation from April 2014 through July of 2014, which result in intermittent closures of campsites and restrooms. There will also be a lot of construction noise, dust and traffic between 8am and 6pm.

There are quite a few private RV parks outside of the National Park which you can use if you can't get a reservation at one of the inside parks. An internet search will provide names of these parks.
