10/10 Recommend! My hubby & I stayed here for a week and we loved it! We were able to work with no issues- good cell signal & free WiFi. Great hosts, clean spacious laundry room with multiple machines & clean showers! They have a dog run for fur babies that was always clean with added motion lights & doggie bags. Very peaceful, laid back town that is walkable to restaurants, shops & grocery, etc.

We had an awesome time here. We used Canyons of Escalante as home base as we explored the amazing Escalante wilderness! Very clean and nearby bathrooms, showers and laundry. We brought an RV and hookups were up to snuff. We did not get an opportunity to stay at their on site cabins but they looked quaint and comfortable.

We did not get an opportunity to stay at their on site cabins but they looked quaint and comfortable. The onsite managers were very kind and willing to help with any issues (there were none) and additional needs. We will always use this location for all of our Escalante adventures! 5-Stars! Also one of the few RV resorts with WiFi that was worth a darn.

Not many RV parks have such a high rating, and we feel its well deserved. So trust the high reviews. I want to emphasize that the wifi worked extremely well while we were there. My husband took a hiking break one day while I went out, and he was able to do some work on his laptop. And we were able to stream football at night. Great cell phone coverage with both AT&T and Verizon at full bars 5G. Yo... Not many RV parks have such a high rating, and we feel its well deserved. So trust the high reviews.

Nice family grocery also within walking distance if you're cooking and need supplies. We really enjoyed out stay and would stay again in the future! Thanks!!

I can't say enough positive about Canyons of Escalante! These folks have become like family to.me over the years. Ben and Lacy are the most attentive and fastidious caretakers of any RV park I've stayed in during the past 3+ years of nomadic in the Southwest, and Escalante has become like a new home for me.

They are superb hosts, and their pride is evident in the immaculate appearance of their facility. Escalante is a perfect tiny town in many ways, as evidenced by the folksy friendliness of so many of the townfolk. And with so much exciting terrain to explore so nearby, it's a wonder more people aren't staying here. Come and experience this magical place before it is truly discovered!!

We were met as we drove in and everyone was very pleasant and helpful. The site was nice and level. The bathrooms, laundry, and showers were especially nice. The park is right next to the highway which was a bit loud during the day but no problem at night. If you text the concierge they will bring ice or a picnic table to the space. Overall a very nice experience.
