Rv Camping In Utah’s National Parks

Covering three counties, Zion National Park offers RV campers the chance to see spectacular sandstone cliffs rising up ten thousand feet above the desert floor. Plan to spend time hiking trails that climb from canyon floors up through snug passages between massive cliffs. If you’re into even more strenuous sport, rock climbers love these cliffs for the challenge they offer. RV camping is allowed in three RV campgrounds at Zion, so set up your base camp within the Park and get ready for some seriously photographable scenery!

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Plan plenty of time to visit Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, because with more than one million acres, it’s not a place to rush through. Rent a boat and cruise the magnificent sandstone coves and canyons of Lake Powell, or keep your feet on dry land and hike to lush hanging gardens high above the desert floor. Another “must see” at Glen Canyon is Horseshoe Bend and the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. RV camping within the NRA is limited, but Lake Powell Resorts and Marinas operates several comfortable lakeside campgrounds right in the middle of the action.
