Guests have access to modern bathhouses, laundry facilities, and a dump station on-site. The campground is also pet-friendly, allowing travelers to enjoy the outdoors with their animals.

Who This Park Is Best For

Great campground! Probably our favorite due to upkeep, cleanliness, great views, quiet, and huge double-wide concrete pads. Stayed in loop D. Gave Good Sam discount. We would stay here again if we are back in the area.

Sad the water is so low and may never be back! Climate change is real folks. Awesome campsite, level back to back pull throughs inside loop D. Clean bathrooms close by but showers were at checkin building. This is a beautiful place with a lot of history. There are no bad views, check it out!

Assuming a bit expensive if you dont have a pass to enter the area. - Well kept campground - pretty un used in late March. Amazing views across the bay. I had 4 negatives unfortunately - My site had a tree with caterpillars and they were everywhere seriously like 1000 under my picnic table and crawling everywhere at night- speaking of my picnic table the support tube was hollow and right where your legs would be was a spider web. Well at night the black widow owner came out!! ( For the last time Lol welcome to AZ!** Poor design in my opinion it could have been a snake in there. The park road to a boat put in ramp is in front of the campground. About 6 am trucks pulling their boats made a wake me up procession. Bring your earplugs! Showers were pretty usable but a " drive" to the check in facility. They give you shower tokens. The first stall it took my tokens and did not work. ( 9 pm) That pretty well sucks -your undressed all your " stuff" placed and you have to redress, repack and try another. That one took an extra token to work. All but one of these were not the campgrounds fault but were the reality of my visit. Couldn't rate the quietness etc of the campground only a handful of tent sites were occupied. If someone was rowdy or noisy late I did not see a " who to call" posting nor any rangers driving around. So my final take: scenic but with baggage.

We loved staying here with our RV! It is not on Lake Powell but you have the most incredible views of Lake Powell and Glen Canyon especially sunset and sunrises. And it’s in a remote area so it doesn’t feel like you’re in a tourist spot. The sites are very clean with picnic tables, a grill and fire ring. We didn’t use the showers but did use the laundry room. The Laundry room was clean and while the machines are dated, they did the job and appreciated that they are open 24 hours. Be sure to bring quarters. It’s $3.50 for a wash and $2 per dry. We checked in late and you need to go to the office first. They will have a list of open sites and you write your name next to the one you take. They do include 3 “shower” coins but you have to get them from the office when they open. We would stay here again. I am puzzled by the “resort” fee because there is nothing extra i.e pools, tennis court or other amenities you expect with a resort fee.

Nice views of Lake Powell. Campsites are open and lack shade. Showers require special currency.
