Small rustic RV Park on a slope with views of the lake. The people are great. Small lodge with a restaurant. Fishing is the main draw to this RV park, which has a small marina where you can rent a boat if you don't have one. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We got the free night they promised on website, but this place is a dump. There are two large dogs tied up on site who bark any time they see another dog. The guy in next site complained about the dogs barking early morning and was told "that's your problem". He left early. There is no grass, just gravel. Good TV reception, narrow sites, 50 amp service available. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is old with on-site management less than acceptable in terms of friendliness. We registered & paid for 2 days only to have a power-surge occur (as did our neighbor the same night & the previous night)at 2:00 A.M. causing us to shut down the electric until the following morning at which time we demanded a refund for the second day, left town and went on to St. George. Campground is not equipped to handle large number of high end motorhomes (which it had in) at any one time. As far as we were concerned this was a "campground from hell." We camped here in a Motorhome.

This appears to be an old park with new owners and manager that are just starting out. The facilities could use some TLC. The pull thrus were on the small side, but have enough room for our one slide and awning. Over the air TV reception was surprisingly good with digital signal for the major network stations. The free Wi-Fi signal was strong, but sporadic. Convenient to town and Bryce Canyon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites are somewhat tight but doable. Good 50 amp power. Good water pressure. Be sure to ask about the owner's Halloween costume, it will get you a free night's stay when staying more than one night. We stayed 4 nights paid for 3 while visiting Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
As previously stated, a decent little park with good 50A power, level gravel sites, and a friendly and helpful manager. Easy access off Main street. Sites were wide enough (barely) for 4-slides. Quiet and dark at night. The free Wi-Fi was strong and fast. A good base for exploring the southern Utah parks. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Decent little CG in a very nice town. Good power. Good Verizon cell coverage here and air card worked very well. Wide spaces with trees in between, which didn't interfere with satellite reception. Great for visiting Bryce and Capital Reef and other scenic drives around Panguitch. An older technology car wash on site to hose down the dirt, but does not work that well. No other services, but we were here to see the parks. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at this park for 2 days. The managment and the other people staying there were all very friendly and helpful. The park is located in the middle of a small town that has convince stores and restaurants with in walking distance. Very busy this time of year felt lucky to get a site. Very quite most nights and lots of things to see and do this time of year here. Only draw backs are no pool and WiFi is questionable at times. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Small park on the North end in town, owners remodeling office and apartment above, some yearly residents, big laundromat (open to the public). All gravel sites, except grass tent sites. 30 amp at all sites, some have 50amp also. Friendly owners. 20 miles from Bryce Nat. Park. We used Good Sam. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Used this KOA as a base to visit Bryce Canyon. The managers were efficient, and friendly. Check-in was easy with clear instructions and directions. Sites are level. Well-kept park. Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice park overall but offers little shade and the winds were too high for the awning. Friendly staff and the sites were pretty level and good sized. We were told the water pressure was high and to use a regulator. We use one so no problem there. A clean, well kept park plus a friendly staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This a typical overpriced KOA park in a very small town. The rrees are few and far between. The sites are mostly gravel. The good thing is that the owners and staff a very friendly and very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camp sites are on the small side. We had a great spot. Plenty of room to entertain our whole group. Which consisted of three families. One 5th wheel and 2 cabins. They made sure we were all together. I like how they escort you to your spot. Not just giving you a map and sending you on your way. They make sure you are in a good place for all your hoses. If not, they help guide you in a better position. I did see some large RV's that stuggled with their tow vehicles. They had to park away from their camp site. We had a great time. They were very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We arrived after hours and tried to register ourselves. It was cold outside and we wanted to rent a cabin, but that was not possible because they closed at 7:00pm. It was 8:00pm and we were trying to call the after hours number, but no one would answer. Then, the owners came around the corner and started getting mad at us for showing up so late and said we were messing up the forms for the campsites. They told us they had been working for too long and quit answering the phones. I asked how much a cabin was and the woman said she didn't know, even though there were only a few cabins. Eventually they decided to let us check into a cabin. The campground overall wasn't all that nice. The web site was deceiving about the beautiful views and friendly owners. I was extremely disappointed with their customer service. I did not feel welcome there, I felt more like we would be in trouble by them if we made a wrong move. I would never recommend this place to anyone. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

This is an old KOA in need of some major updates. The sites are very small, no privacy at all. Our slide was only inches from our neighbor, and we shared a common utility post, so when he disconnected, he continually rubbed against our camper and sprayed water all over the side of our unit since he didn't have much room. The restrooms were clean, but very dated. The laundry equipment was in need of repair, wi-fi was very weak. Most sites were stone and only a couple sites had any grass, so we tracked a lot of gravel in our camper. The pluses were the pool was nice, the store was stocked well, the owners/workers tried to help. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park has side by side hook-ups that I just don't like. Also, the sites are rather short and you have to unhook and put your toad or tow vehicle in the parking area. There is no cable and what you can get with your antenna is nothing to write home about. Owners were helpful and it served as a nice place to visit Bryce. But for the price, I'd like something better. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Owners very nice. We got a pull thru with no sewer? Not a necessity at this time but still a little surprised. Site wide enough and long enough for 36' quad slide with tow vehicle. Gravel site level and grass and picnic table alongside. Quiet as well. No cable TV contrary to listing. Easy access, interior roads a little narrow. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We arrived one week before the official opening date, but were thrilled that they had opened early due to the pleasant weather. The owners were extremely helpful in getting us set up and giving us pointers about keeping our water lines open so we wouldn't freeze our pipes. There were only 2 other trailers in the park, but it seemed very spacious to us. We loved the proximity to Bryce Canyon. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice campground. The sites are narrow, but worked for us with 2 slides. The owners rate a 10 for friendliness! The swimming pool was closed because of the season. There is free wi-fi. There is also a nice campground store. This is a convenient location for accessing Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are too short and crammed together. We could not park the dinghy at the site. Side-by-side sites share very small grassy area bewteen RVs. No privacy! Lots of ATV's. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Typical KOA campground -- very friendly, helpful owners but rustic facilities. Everything functions well but a bit worn at the edges (a general KOA issue). Several ATV groups (ATVs are big in Utah) but they were unusually quiet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Average KOA, with dirt and gravel roads and sites. Very friendly onsite managers. Wifi charged at $5.95 for 12 hours thru Hotspotzz which is too much for 12 hours. Electrical voltage was low. Price too high for area and there were lots of empty spots available. Town of Panguitch is very old and small. 20 miles to Bryce Canyon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park and friendly owners, grassy pull thru sites but no privacy, a good park for a couple of nights, we will use this park again We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very nice park. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Great location for visiting Bryce National Park. We would return when in the area again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice campground, centrally located for Bryce, Zion and Brian Head Recreation Area. Owner lives on-site, very clean! Alot of trees and grassy sites. Close to shopping & restaurants. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Will not stay again. Extra charge for 50amp @ $1.00/day. Park rules are no electric water heaters, extra charge for air conditioners. Extra charge for dogs @ $1.00/day. Why charge extra for 50amps and an additional charge for air conditioners??? Park is very basic with no frills. We are RPI members and get a reduced rate. I would really be upset at additional charges if I paid full rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Calling this campground paradise is a joke. it is a dump with several old campers that belong in the junk yard and broken wood laying around. There is absolutely no grass and to charge $1 a day for our dog (who we clean up after) is an insult. The man in the office was rude. That was the last straw. We pulled right back out. I would rather stay in WalMart's parking lot. We were told $12 a night when we made our reservations. $1 additional a day for the dog and $1 for 50amp. The man at the office wanted $13 and when I commented on the difference, he said we could go to KOA and pay $40 a night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park looks like someone is trying to upgrade and improve the looks, but its still pretty barren. Old trailers in place and the office really needs a good cleaning and removal of all the clutter from years back. The odd part is the elderly gent who checked us in did so without too much stress. But as we turned to exit, he walked around the check-in counter and blocked our way so we couldn't get out the door. He started a rant and rage about the presidential candidates, couldn't figure out if he was a Democrat or Republican, he hated them all and wanted to rant and rage. He kept it up for well over 5 minutes and no way was I going to be sucked into a discussion with him. We finally seized an opportunity to force our way past him and exit. We won't be staying here in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were here on RPI and it is not a fancy park, but had full hook-ups. They are working on fixing it up. The camp hosts were nice and the sites were good enough for the price. It is close to Bryce. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I made a reservation through RPI to stay at Paradise RV Park in Panguitch, Utah so my wife and I could be close to Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks. We arrived in the morning about 9:30 a.m. which was earlier than we anticipated and decided to drive to Paradise RV Park to see if we could check in early so we could visit Bryce during the remainder of the day. When we arrived we were very disappointed in the RV park's appearance. It had a couple of older, not well maintained trailers sitting at the back of the park and one new RV also. The place was devoid of any shade and needed mowing as well. When I went to enter the office/store the door was locked and no one was around. There was a sign saying they would be back at 10:00 a.m. At 10:00 a.m. no one showed up. After some discussion we decided this was not the place for us and left. I called RPI to make a new reservation at another RPI member RV park. When they indicated that we already had a reservation for the night I told them we didn't like the place and that it was one of the ugliest, unkempt RV parks we have ever seen. They made us a new reservation and I thought that was the end of it. We didn't mind paying for the night we cancelled at Paradise RV Park. About 9 days later after we returned home we had received a post card from the owner of Paradise RV Park calling us dumb fools and saying we were not welcome at their RV park and generally belittled RPI members in general. I couldn't believe an RV park owner would stoop to such a level to berate a potential customer. In no way will we or any of our traveling friends stay at this park. The owner and his attitude will surely be a death knell for this RV park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Do you know how you call a fat man tiny. Well this describes this park. They have still not cashed my check for my stay and that was in June. Said that the new owner did not want to mow the lawns so they were dry and dead. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All of the grass was dead. Campground was a little run down. A little water would work wonders. I do not think that I would stay there again. We stayed there with RPI. I have to wonder how they rate their parks... We camped here in a Motorhome.
They honor most discounts, passport escapees etc. Stayed to see Brice canyon and the sites nearby, great price for just a stop over.. 1-3 days passport. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful morning and evening views! Country feeling. 3 miles north of downtown Panguitch. Primitive gravel sites. Weeds are mowed. Owner continues to upgrade. We spent the summer here. Some discounts are recognized. Nice laundry. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice campground but not big rig friendly due to the narrow road and vegetation at roadside, overhanging trees and close trees at sites. Careful planning is needed for the slideouts. We mentioned tree-trimming to the forest service and the host so hopefully some will be done. The area is beautiful. We will TRY to stay again in our 40' motor home and car. There are flush toilets, no showers, no hookups. There is a dump station. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The May 2009 review is indeed not this campground. This is a nice, no hookup US Forest Service campground. The access roads and sites are paved or hard packed gravel. It’s in a forested area with ample space between the majority of sites. There are pit and flush toilets and one shower facility. There are a couple of community water faucets to fill holding tanks. There is a posted diagram of the campground near the entrance: it’s worthless. The left side of Loop B is the place for big rigs with several back-in and three crescent shaped pull through sites. Sites in Loop A vary in size. The campground is right at Red Canyon FS Park and about 20 minutes from Bryce NP. The fee is based on a Golden Age/Access rate discount and the rating is based on like, no hookup campgrounds. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The "Red Canyon Campground" is a NFS "Dry Camping" type campground located approximately 4 miles East from the intersection of Hwy 89 and Hwy 12 on the right hand side going East towards Bryce Canyon. The first review here is not for this campground but for the "Red Canyon RV Park" (a private park)located approximately 1 mile from the same intersection on the left going East on Hwy 12. I have also given the correct website for this campground (hopefully it will be changed as it was wrong also). The $6 rate is for Golden Age Passport otherwise the rate is $12. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A great forest service campground. It's divided into 2 sections, I prefer the Western side. Paved sites with enough vegetation in between to give privacy. Has a very nice double dump station. Beautiful area just a few miles from Bryce Canyon. Be sure and visit National Forest Visitor Center just west of Campground. They have maps of the area along with much more. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a rustic campground directly next to highway 12 on the way into Bryce Canyon National Park approx 15 miles before the visitor center and seven miles from Panguitch. The management was friendly and helpful. Road noise from highway 12 dies down after dark. Full hookups. Very pet friendly. The campground appears to have new campground cabins, but the campground itself could use a lot of cosmetic fixing up to make it more attractive. Roads into the park are gravel and the sites are level with no shade. We were level when I parked. We camped there two nights while seeing Bryce Canyon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a National Forest (NFS) campground next to highway 12 on the way into Bryce Canyon National Park approx 15 miles before the visitor center. The closest town is Panguitch which is approx 11 miles from the campground. This is a very rustic campground and the road noise from rt 12 dies down about dark every night. There is a wash at the entrance to the campground which can leave you stranded either inside or outside the campground when it rains hard which it did to us one afternoon while we were inside the campground. Sites are spaced far apart and roomy with picnic tables and fire pits set in a concrete patio. There is an on-site campground host during the season. We stayed there thru the last day the campground was open until it closed for winter on Oct 14th. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a no frills RV park. We enjoyed the views, the close access to Red Canyon and Panguitch. Very nice staff. At first I wasn't thrilled with the park, however, retrospect is is very nice and I have great memories of the sunsets and great friends we met here. We moved to Ruby's near Bryce to visit the area and wish we had stayed at Red Canyon, lots of character., We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly staff. Nice park easy to get to, easy to get to Bryce Canyon, Red Canyon, Zion, Cedar Breaks and a whole host of other attractions in that area. The site was level, long and wide, great service, cable TV, 50 amp, all for $25 per night. Highly recommend this park if you're in the Bryce Canyon area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed here one week. This park has gravel roads and sites. Also has a picnic table at each site and a cover. There's some road noise from 6 AM to 11 PM. It has very, very low water pressure. Cable TV is available: some channels come in clear while others don't. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is not the National Forest campground but an RV park just west of the entrance to Red Canyon. It's flat and has grass but no trees. Cable is free. The bathrooms are clean with two showers and two stalls in each (men's and women's). It's about 15 miles into Bryce Canyon from here. The road noise started before dawn, but I doubt the National Forest's Red Canyon campground is any quieter, since it also sits on Highway 12. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Golden Age pass. Guide says 32 foot maximum RV length, but we had no problem with a 37 foot fifth wheel. Close to lake recreation area, so reservations needed or check with camp host. Dump station well in front of camp, very easy in and out. Mature trees, bushes, lots of shade alongside creek. Lots of fish in the creek. Some road noise, most blocked by vegetation. Long gravel sites, picnic tables, fire rings. Bathrooms were only of medium cleanliness, no toilet paper. Not checked while we were there. No showers. The host site at the entrance was quite slovenly, with junk spread all around. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
