What a great campground right outside of Bryce Canyon in Red Canyon. The view from our picnic table was awesome. They have quite a few pull through sites which made it easy to set up. Some road noise though since the campground is next to the road. The water was turned off because test had come back with high chlorine levels but we had full water on board so that was no biggie. Will definitely co... What a great campground right outside of Bryce Canyon in Red Canyon. The view from our picnic table was awesome. They have quite a few pull through sites which made it easy to set up. Some road noise though since the campground is next to the road. The water was turned off because test had come back with high chlorine levels but we had full water on board so that was no biggie. Will definitely consider staying again when we are not able to get reservations at Bryce Canyon National Park.

Great campsite! Right near Highway 12, so a little bit noisy at times - but also gave a little bit of comfort that we weren't "too" isolated. $30 per night - which I guess is a sign of the times, but the amenities reflected a fair price. Flush toilets, newer picnic tables, and despite the fire ban at the time - there was still lots to do and see in the area. Would definitely visit again.

Nice spot for camping! We stopped here to have a BBQ, and it was a perfect choice. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. The place is peaceful and surrounded by lots of trees, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy quality time with family. They have tables and charcoal grill available. Highly recommended!

Nice campground, but noisy from the road traffic. It would be nice to have showers at both ends of the campground. It is a long walk from the far side of the campground to the showers.

We spent 2 nights, did tent camping. Met few wonderful people. Washroom and showers worked fine. Beautiful location, 10-12 mins away from Bryce Canyon City. Night sky is beautiful, I captured 200 minutes of stars, and stacked them to create the star trails photo.
