We absolutely loved our stay here. The area is gorgeous. The hikes right from the park are awesome, especially angels palace. The showers are beautiful, clean, and excellent water pressure. No service is no problem, and the wifi at the office area is good. Would love to stay here again, highly recommend to anyone

We camped in the Basin Campground in early May at pull-thru site 4, a quiet and spacious campsite near the very clean and modern restrooms with free hot showers. Water was located near the campsite, the trash container was located at the restrooms. Firewood was available at a building next to the restrooms, ice was available at the visitors center. There are two great hiking trails located a short walk from the campground. Overall this was a perfect camping experience, we would definitely return again.

You’ve read other reviews, so here is another one recommending that you visit this lovely campground. Kodachrome Basin is a somewhat remote park, but still only about ½ hour from Bryce Canyon City and Bryce Canyon National Park.
There are two other campground loops within the park (Arch and Bryce View), but Basin is definitely the nicest. Basin Campground is located at the farthest end of the park, bounded by the vibrantly colored rock formations for which it is named. There are plenty of trees for shade and privacy between sites. Some sites have water/electric and others are dry camping. A very nice bathroom and shower facility is located in the middle of the loop and is kept clean via a daily cleaning by park staff. Dumpsters are located across the street from this shower house. There is a second shower house on the main road, just as you approach Basin, which may be closer for those in the powered sites. Two water spigots are located along the loop, with a third at the second shower house. There is firewood for sale at $10/bundle and the Red Dirt Laundromat (inside the park) is affordable and clean. At night, the campground is very quiet. In the early morning, jackrabbits visit to nibble on greenery. During the day, there are numerous trails to hike. In the evening, the park staff light a propane campfire at the Visitor’s Center and guests are welcome to hang out and socialize. The park staff were fabulous! They were friendly, helpful and make this park a real gem. The only drawback is no Verizon cell signal in the park; you can either use the WiFi at the Visitor’s Center (kinda slow) or drive a few miles toward town and the signal picks up to 5G. Starlink may be an option? I’d definitely return to the Basin Campground and I recommend booking in advance.

Luckily they could move us to 9 but we had to go to the visitor center to do that. Spot was quite large and mostly private. Bathroom was very nice with hot showers. Views were nice. Noise levels rose from 5-9 but it was quiet at 10. Odd generator hours of 12-4 pm only. Absolutely no cell service. Minimal WiFi at visitor center. Lovely rangers.

Kodachrome is a beautiful park. Very close to Bryce Canyon National Park, which quite honestly, is much more beautiful. Lots of hiking and even horseback riding available.
Restrooms are really, really nice. I'm used to pit toilets when I go camping. These had full bathrooms with really nice showers. It rained a lot while we were there and the bathrooms got very wet and muddy and were not cleaned regularly.
It is a very quiet park. Generators are only allowed from 12-4pm, which is great for tent campers, because we don't want to hear that crap.

We stayed for 2 nights at Kodachrome Basin while we visited Bryce Canyon. This park was beautiful. It’s very quiet and quite a relaxing place to camp. The only issue we had was there is no cell signal for miles. The visitor center thankfully has pretty good WiFi but it’s a mile up the road from the campgrounds.

This little park exceeded our expectations. It was a little warm during our visit (third week of July) but that was on us. We could have easily stayed here and just explored the state park and been perfectly happy and we plan to in the near future. Our spot (KO2) was right at the entrance but it was huge and felt very private. It had water and power hookups but no shade. The bathroom facility was really clean and the showers were exceptionally nice. But the real star of the park was the ranger working the welcome center and gift shop. She was so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and we made a point of stopping each day to chat with her. The gift shop has just about anything you would need and there is firewood available at the campground. NOTE: Google Maps tried to direct us to turn off half a mile early before the actual park road.

The Good: Excellent showers and beautiful scenery.
The Bad: The campground did not have an “official” camp host, so no one is making rounds and looking out for campers.
The Ugly: In spite of the signs to keep bikes / vehicles on pavement, our neighbors let their children run wild on battery-operated mini BMX bikes and were tearing through the natural, protected areas of our campsite until we had finally had enough. A verbal altercation ensued and insults were hurled in our direction.
Oh, and then there the dune buggies buzzing around driven by 14 year-olds.
Again, no camp host.
Apparently rangers were called after we had gone to bed to quiet down the adults after midnight.
We left a day early and would love to return under different circumstances.

This is a beautiful campground. Most sites have a little tucked away spot that is semi-private, if you can park so that your camper lines up with the road and covers the entrance to your campsite. Site 15 was perfect for our tent trailer. Right against the edge of the campground, with some scrubby trees and a little dry water run before the canyon walls.
It was raining off and on during our visit and we didn’t want to explore the area too much and get stranded by impassable roads so we hiked a few of the trails right in the park and they were absolutely incredible. The Panorama Trail with the Cool Cave loop was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Angels Palace Trail was up high with paths onto little ridges that terrified me but delighted my family (I just stayed back a way).
Showers were amazing. Roomy with a spot to put dry clothes. The shower head was high up, a big square with lots of hot water, really nice for tall people.
Potable and non-potable water to fill tanks. Dishwashing station near the restrooms. Dry and easy to chop firewood for $10 a bundle.
Laundromat was nice and clean. Visitors centre had a few essentials -ice, water, wifi. Had a little gift shop too.
Loved our stay here.

This is a beautiful State Park! It has a couple of great hikes, and you can drive to some other sites outside the park. However, our experiences have been that while there are posted rules, including generator hours, there is no enforcement. So, if your neighbors wants to run their generator to all hours of the night, you will have to deal with it yourself. Also, there is no camp hosts.
