We loved our stay here! I just can’t put into words how special this place is...and the owners are. They could have put far more spaces here but chose to put the experience they provide ahead of potential profit. Rare indeed. They have thought of everything here. Well spaced (really!!) sires, brand new hook ups, indoor/outdoor showers heated individual bath/shower rooms with heated floors, gorgeous views of cliffs and night skies.
Rick and Meryl were awesome hosts. They had a Holiday Farmer’s Market on site one day with some great local vendors. We also got great instructions on applying for the Wave Lottery and some great local hikes.
We could spend months in the Kanab area and not do everything there is to do and when we do, Dark Sky would be the only place near Kanab that we’d stay. We looked at every other CG in the area, and it is just not even a remotely close contest. Dark Sky is by far the nicest we saw.

If you want quiet desert, unbelievable sunsets and heated (yes, heated) floor showers then stay HERE. Its a five min drive to town but so quiet you can’t believe you are in the middle of nowhere.
They rent propane fire pits, fill up propane tanks, dig pit for kids, terrace for grown ups and on and on.
Concierge services without the snob effect ;) Super easy to do everything Venmo or card on file, we received a welcome text the morning of our reservation, lots of checks in during our stay (without feeling intrusive).
Oh and if you work on the road, excellent WiFi. We had two on zoom and one on GoTo meeting at the same time with zero glitches.
Book now.

Wonderful campground with great restrooms, laundry, WiFI and spacious sites. Easy to pay for everything online or Venmo. The hosts/owners go above and beyond. Enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving meal with other campers, neighbors, hosts and their fun family and friends.
Probably be back to celebrate Thanksgiving 2021.

We stayed here at the end of October 2020, when the campground was only about 11 weeks old. The campground has most of the usual amenities, but implemented in a unique way.
Most of the RV sites are crescent-shaped pull-throughs on either side of the main road through the campground, so everyone has plenty of space. There is a separate smaller loop off the main one with small back-in sites for tents and Class B campers. The sites and the road are gravel and fairly level.
Instead of a picnic table, each RV site has a small round patio table and two short upright logs with flat cut tops to serve as seats. There are also no typical fire rings, but you can rent a propane-powered fire cauldron (with its own propane tank) from the office. If you need a refill of your own propane tank, each site comes with a tag that you attach to your tank and then leave it next to the propane refill station, and they will deliver the tank back to your site.
The office doesn’t have a store, but it does have a coffee bar and a covered patio area for outdoor gatherings. During our stay they hosted events on the patio like a hot chocolate bar and a small local farmer’s market. There’s no playground, but a short trail from the office take you to the Dig Pit, where campers can dig for hidden stars that can be traded in for prizes. We had plenty of places to walk the dogs, either along the loop or in the bush-filled fenced-in dog run.
There’s one bathhouse with two nicely decorated bathrooms with showers. There’s a large outdoor sink for washing dishes or dogs, and the back of the building has an open-air laundry area. While the decor of the campground is “recycled rustic”, they make good use of technology: paying for laundry could be done via Venmo or PayPal, and we received alerts about cold weather and campground events via both email and text message. There are WiFi booster towers along the loop to ensure a strong signal throughout the campground: I didn’t use the campground WiFi but I did measure it with a speedtest and got 39Mbps down and 3Mpbs up, with a ping of 13. Cell service was great: I saw download speeds around 50Mbps down and 25Mbps up with my Verizon Jetpack hotspot and MIMO antenna, enough to stream TV with rare stutters. Meanwhile, my AT&T cellphone was getting 55Mbps down and 18Mbps up.
Finally, they take their “Dark Sky” name seriously. There are no light poles in the campground, so it is very dark at night, allowing you to see thousands of stars when the moon isn’t out. The only potential negative to this campground is that there is no shade, which means no respite from the sun during the summer, but that’s not so different from a lot of campgrounds in Utah.

Found this to be a very appealing campground on numerous fronts. This family owned start-up has been very well laid out. Resisting the temptation to cram as many sites as the can, on their property, the owners instead chose to sacrifice number of sites ($$) for much more space giving the campground a state park feel and camping guests open space luxury. Each site has splendid views of red cliff and desert expanse with terrific sunrise/sunset views. The campground adheres to a “dark sky” policy – discouraging those gaudy outdoor awning lights – which provides amazing stargazing. Most site are pull-through gravel reasonably level. Hookups are centrally located on the “street side” so campers are not facing the road. While there are only two bathrooms available (a shortcoming, probably could use two more) the bathrooms are the most beautifully thought out “suites”. Clearly, the Bathrooms are truly the best we have come across in our almost 3 years of full-time RVing. Luxury quality and cleanliness – each bath even has a glass door leading to a private bath patio for that outdoor shower experience. Since this is a new campground, GPS may not show the location correctly, in addition there is presently no signage on HWY 89 to know where exactly to turn. Text or phone the owners for more accurate navigation. Propane sold on site at a very competitive price – probably best for this area. Owners will come out and great you on arrival and offer any assistance you might need as well as good advice for sightseeing the area. Very solid fast WiFi (free) and we got about 14 stations OTA, good Verizon cell. We like to stay a new RV parks to show some support for the start-up business. These folks have done a great job so far, provide outstanding friendly service and I expect they will continue to improve over time.

This place is truly a gem! The owners are very welcoming and easy to communicate with. It is a little outside of town, so very peaceful and quiet, but close enough to easily access everything. The sites are spread out and have beautiful desert views The sites have cocktail tables and you can rent propane fire rings (no regular fire rings). From the check in process (online) to paying for laundry (Venmo or cash option) everything utilized current technology, which was a nice change. We had 4 bars of LTE and the WiFi was the best we have ever had at an RV park. It was easy for us to do work and school from our site. The common area is beautifully decorated and we wish we would have been here when it was a little warmer So we could enjoy it. The bathrooms were really a highlight. Heated floors and so nicely done. We decided we wanted to shower there instead of the RV. Love this place! We definitely hope to return.

The idea of renting gas fire rings is fantastic for those of us who don't have them, and don't care for smokey wood fires. Wonderful stay!
