Red Canyon Campground

Drove in right on sunset on a Monday and was told there was plenty of spots still open. $21 for the night. Got a spot right next to the manager facing the street which you can hear just a bit. Lucky there is a ton of trees at the campground.

Clean showers were $2.50 for 8min which I found is more than enough. There was an added fee to dump but didn’t choose to dump here.

Only negative is the layout is very confusing and wish there was a map posted somewhere.

Lots of reviews but the manager told us site 18 was the best for a large RV with solar. It is the furthest away from the road, no noise.
The bike path toward Bryce goes all the way there. If you need one they rent e-bikes near Bryce’s entrance. Trail rides, off road 4 wheelers, hiking, this place has it all plus scenery.
The Loose TH was a spectacular hike.
You can walk on the bike path or ride to the visitors center.
On line it said this CG was closed.
We got texts occasionally but even with our amplifier there was no service. If you go 2 miles west service was excellent.

Place is clean and quiet. It's also first-come first-served and very popular. People begin drive thru's around 10am to find a site...get there early. Road noise after 10pm is almost nonexistent. Very picturesque. I think every site has a good view of something. While I don't especially care for paying to dry camp you get a lot here. Supervised. The campground staff is driving thru several times per hour. Close to the dump station and potable water which were very clean. Water faucet in or very close to your site for filling pans, bottles, dish pans, etc...just not your RV. Our site was like a premium site at many RV Parks...fire pit, bbq, clean table, concrete pad, and the view. The hikes in and around are very nice if not a little more strenuous than described...few fall into the easy range. No cell service for ATT but drive west on 12 to the Highway 12 Scenic Byway sign and you can download the world. Hit the Main Street Market in Panguich for groceries. Cedar City Walmart for what you can't find in Panguich.

Spent three nights the week before they closed for the season. Showers were closed due to COVID. Each site has its own fire pit and picnic table. Overall a great stay. Road noise was very minimal after park traffic slowed in the evenings. Paved trail that runs along UT-12 looks very nice and I’ll bring a bicycle next time. AT&T popped in with one bar intermittently; not reliable service.

I walked through this closed campground on the way to a trailhead. I normally would not review without staying but was really impressed with what looks like totally new/renovated sites. The view is amazing, you’re looking right up at the famous Hoodoos. Hiking from campground on both sides of route 12 includes some of the best hikes of my life and virtually alone on trails while Bryce NP (easily accessible 15 min away) is wall to wall like Disney. I was disappointed they closed right during such a popular time for visitors to this area, though temps are falling into 20’s before dawn (and 80 during day). There is also quite a bit of road noise as it is just yards off Rte 12 in a canyon with no noise barrier (though probably not bad at night). If you are stuck though when this CG is either full or closed, and are OK boondocking, check out Tom’s Best Spring dispersed area just a few miles East. There is plenty of room there and easily accessible for all kinds of rigs/tents.

Large sites, well spaced and level with plenty of privacy! Lots of trees and shade. We paid $10 night with our America the beautiful pass (they accept the disabled, the senior and the lifetime pass for the discount, just not the “annual” pass). Site 35 used to be a double site, but was reclassified as a single. It has a huge concrete patio area with a picnic table that can seat 20 and a big concrete fire pit. Hiking trails in every direction and a bike path that runs right next to the campground. Some road noise, but not overwhelming. Beautiful views of red canyon! Firewood $6/bundle. Clean Flush toilets available and showers (closed for now due to virus). No ATT cell service, but we could drive 5 minutes in either direction to get a signal if we needed it. All around great park!

This time of year there are fire restrictions in the NF. We decided to see if there was a site available (first come first serve. It was a great back in site up the hill away from the HWY noise. You hear the cars and trucks heading up the hill during the day. Traffic is reduced immensely at night. There are pull-throughs and back-in sites.

Also a brand new water fill station and dump site for campers. You can also dump for $6.00 if not staying at the campground. It takes roughly 15 minutes to the Bryce Canyon entrance.

This was a nice campground, but they no longer accept the annual national park pass for a discount rate. The showers were not open due to Covid and fires pits couldn’t be burned due to high risk of fires in August. No hookups and no T-mobile service. The scenery is nice and there is a nice concrete pad beside the RV pull-in that has a picnic table, grill, and pit. We ended up not staying at the campground since we could get a full hook up, showers, restrooms, and laundry at Camp Lutherwood RV Park.

Camp hosts very friendly and helpful, site was amazing for views of the canyon's red rocks. Bike trail (paved) runs right past campground and goes all the way to Bryce Canyon. Their are also numerous hiking trails nearby with one originating (or ending) in the campground. Vault toilets and flushing toilets as well as showers and a dump station. Showers closed due to COVID. You do get some road noise as you are right off of Route 12 but it is not bad.
