Meadview RV Park & Cozy Cabins

25 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 4 Tent Sites

Meadview RV Park & Cozy Cabins in Meadview, AZ, offers 25 full-hookup RV sites, 1 cabin, and 4 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 42 feet. Sites are split between an upper level and a lower level, all back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric with a picnic table and barbecue, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a dump station cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. This is a small, straightforward park — full hookups, level sites, and a quiet night in country where the nearest services are a long way off. There's no recreation program on the grounds, which is fitting given what's outside them. Meadview sits at about 3,400 feet in the remote northwest Arizona strip country, where the western Grand Canyon meets Lake Mead — Grand Canyon West and the Colorado River are the reason to make the drive. Rates for sites, the cabin, and tent spots are on the booking page. Stock up on supplies before you arrive; this is a genuinely remote corner of the state.

Blake Ranch RV Park

25 RV Sites, 1 Cabin

Blake Ranch RV Park sits 12 miles east of Kingman, Arizona, along US-66 and I-40, offering 25 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and a cabin with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Every site is pull-through, horse pens are available on site, and the park operates year-round on paved roads. Twenty-five pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. Pulling through means no backing after a long highway day, and the paved roads make arrival straightforward in any weather. A cabin serves guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, RV storage, restrooms, showers, a library, and a recreation center handle the practical side. The horse pens are the distinguishing feature — genuine equestrian infrastructure at a highway-corridor park, which suits riders moving between events or trailheads. Horseback riding runs from the property, and a dog park serves pets. The recreation center and library give guests somewhere to sit out the afternoon heat, and the on-site laundry, showers, and propane fills mean a longer stay works as well as an overnight. Cable TV and site WiFi reach every site. Pets are welcome. The park sits on the original alignment of Historic Route 66 in Mohave County's high desert, in the plateau country above the Colorado River canyon. It serves both long-haul interstate travelers moving between Las Vegas and the Arizona mountains and Route 66 enthusiasts who prefer the two-lane heritage road's slower pace through volcanic mesas, juniper woodland, and the dramatic western edge of the Colorado Plateau. A river, lake, and mountains are all nearby. Open all year, with spring and fall the most comfortable seasons in the high desert and summer bringing the heaviest interstate traffic. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Silver View RV Resort

315 RV Sites

Silver View RV Resort in Bullhead City, Arizona, offers 315 full-hookup RV sites on the Colorado River with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. River view back-in, premium back-in, and pull-through categories join a pool, spa, hot tub, fitness center, and on-site dining directly across from Laughlin. Three hundred fifteen sites span premium back-in, river view back-in, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. The river view category is the reason most guests book here rather than inland. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and personal mailboxes handle the practical side — the mailboxes point to the long-stay winter residents who fill much of the resort. An outdoor pool, spa, and hot tub and sauna anchor daily recreation, with a fitness center, clubhouse, on-site dining, walking trails, and a dog park besides. Pickleball and corn hole fill the courts. Boating runs from the river and a golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Bullhead City sits directly across the Colorado from Laughlin's casino resort corridor, which gives guests a genuinely unusual combination: river-view camping on the quiet Arizona bank with a full entertainment strip visible across the water and reachable in minutes. Winter is decisively the season on the lower Colorado. Book well ahead for January through March, when snowbirds fill the river corridor, and expect considerably easier availability through the summer.

Hidden Springs RV Resort - Utah

137 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites, 3 Apartments

Hidden Springs RV Resort in Ivins, Utah, offers 137 RV sites, three apartments, and 10 tent sites alongside the red cliffs of Snow Canyon State Park, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 80 feet. A dedicated Sprinter van and small RV category joins back-in and pull-through sites, with a pool, hot tub, and spa in a dark-sky community. One hundred thirty-seven sites span back-in, pull-through, and Sprinter van/small RV categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables. The dedicated small-rig category is a genuinely useful distinction — van travelers do not pay for space they cannot use. Three apartments and 10 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, restrooms, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. An outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a pond, community fire pit, walking trails, corn hole, and a playground filling the grounds. Ivins is a designated dark-sky community, which makes the stargazing here reliable rather than weather-dependent luck. Pets are welcome. The position is exceptional. Snow Canyon State Park's red cliffs sit immediately alongside, with Zion National Park and the wider St. George public lands within easy reach on Old Highway 91. Spring and fall are peak for southern Utah's park circuit. Reserve well ahead for March through May and September through October.

Jellystone Park™ Zion Utah

212 RV Sites, 11 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites

Jellystone Park Zion Utah in Hurricane offers 212 full-hookup RV sites, 11 cabins, and two tent sites at the western edge of red rock country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet behind a gated entrance, open all year. Categories publish exact length — 45, 60, 70, and 75 feet — alongside a lazy river, water park, splash pad, and beach. Two hundred twelve sites run in 45-foot back-in, 45-foot waterfront back-in, 60-foot back-in, 60-foot pull-thru, 70-foot back-in, and 75-foot pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Publishing length by the foot removes every guess about fit, and the 45-foot waterfront tier is worth requesting. Eleven cabins and two tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The Water Zone runs weekends from mid-March to Memorial Day, daily through August 10, then weekends to late October, weather permitting. A lazy river, water park, and splash pad anchor the season, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, spa, lake, beach, and boat rentals besides. A jumping pillow, gem mining, gaga ball, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, ping pong, corn hole, golf cart rentals, a craft room, walking trails, playground, pavilion, dog park, and food trucks fill the rest. Sand Hollow State Park is close and Zion within day-trip range. Spring and fall are peak in southern Utah. Reserve well ahead.

Zion White Bison Glamping & RV Resort

On Utah Highway 9 in Virgin, Utah—15 minutes west of Zion National Park's South Entrance in Washington County where the Mojave Desert's red-sandstone canyon country creates the most visually dramatic gateway corridor to one of the most visited national parks in the United States—Zion White Bison Glamping and RV Resort, recognized as one of the top five glamping resorts in the country, offers covered wagons, tipis, cliff dwellings, cabins, and full hookup RV pads—each with a private BBQ grill and fire pit—alongside community pools, pickleball courts, a catch-and-release fishing pond, a white bison sanctuary on the property, and the resort's exclusive shuttle service into Springdale at the Zion South Entrance, creating the Zion-access experience whose resort-quality infrastructure and dramatic canyon setting produce the combination of luxury, wildlife, and national park proximity that no campground alternative within the Zion corridor can replicate. The bison are white. The canyon walls are red. The park is 15 minutes away. Covered wagons, tipis, and cliff dwellings—each with two comfortable queen beds or a single king, a private bath, central heating and cooling, a kitchenette with cookware, microwave, refrigerator, and a two-burner cooktop, and a private BBQ grill and fire pit—provide the distinctive glamping accommodations that have made Zion White Bison a top-five ranked glamping resort in the country. Full hookup RV pads with water, sewer, and electric hookups at every position serve the self-contained traveler with the infrastructure that a serious RV stay requires. Community pools, pickleball courts, and the catch-and-release fishing pond create the on-property recreation that occupies the afternoon hours between the morning Zion hike and the sunset dinner in Springdale. The white bison sanctuary—three white and one brown bison and bison calves that guests can observe up close and learn about in the cultural and spiritual context that the Lakota and other Plains Nations' relationship with the white buffalo provides—creates the signature wildlife encounter that no other Zion-area campground offers. Virgin sits in Washington County on the North Fork of the Virgin River's lower watershed, in the Mojave Desert transition zone where the Colorado Plateau's uplift and the canyon-cutting erosion that carved Zion Canyon create the red-and-white Navajo Sandstone formations that make the Virgin River corridor one of the most geologically spectacular road-accessible landscapes in the American West. The UT-9 corridor from Hurricane to Springdale follows the Virgin River through the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel's switchbacks and the canyon's narrowing walls to the national park's visitor center in a drive whose scenery rivals the park's interior. Zion National Park's Angels Landing trail, the Narrows slot canyon hike through the Virgin River, and the Emerald Pools trail system provide the defining Zion hiking experiences that the resort's shuttle to the Springdale park-and-ride delivers guests to without the parking challenge that the park's 4.5 million annual visitors create at the South Entrance. Bryce Canyon National Park, 90 miles northeast, and the Grand Canyon's North Rim, 100 miles southeast, provide the multi-park circuit accessible from a single Zion White Bison base camp. Zion White Bison operates year-round in Washington County's high-desert climate, where the spring and fall seasons from March through May and September through November provide the most comfortable Zion hiking temperatures and the thinner crowds that the summer peak's 4-million-visitor load creates. The winter months bring the snow dusting that the canyon's red sandstone makes photographic without the severe cold that higher-elevation Utah campgrounds experience. Reserve your covered wagon, tipi, or RV pad at Zion White Bison and let the white bison sanctuary, the resort shuttle, and the 15-minute drive to Zion National Park's South Entrance make the Virgin River canyon country the southwest adventure your Zion trip has been waiting for.

Highland Grand Canyon

5 Glamping Sites

Four miles from the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, Highland Grand Canyon offers a unique solar-powered glamping experience on a 137-acre property with direct access to thousands of acres of public land for hiking, mountain biking, and trail riding through the Ponderosa pine forest of the Kaibab Plateau. Five private safari-style tents with plush king beds, shared outdoor facilities, and a commitment to dark-sky compliance—eliminating light pollution in compliance with Grand Canyon's designation as a Dark Sky Park—create a stay that complements the canyon experience rather than competing with it. For travelers who want proximity to the park with accommodation that respects the landscape, Highland Grand Canyon delivers both. Each safari tent features a comfortable king bed with quality linens, and guests share access to clean bathrooms and showers. Firewood for the communal fire pit and stargazing under some of Arizona's darkest skies create the kind of evening experiences that balance a day spent on the South Rim. The fully solar-powered operation and dark-sky compliance reflect a genuine environmental commitment to the landscape surrounding one of the world's most visited natural wonders. Dogs are welcome—only dogs, with guests responsible for any cleaning or repair costs—making the property accessible to traveling pet owners who want South Rim proximity. The property sits in the Ponderosa pine forest that covers the Kaibab Plateau at 7,000 feet elevation, a landscape dramatically different from the desert canyon below. The transition from forest to canyon rim is one of the Southwest's most abrupt and dramatic ecological shifts—a single step takes you from cool, scented pine forest to the overwhelming scale of a mile-deep canyon cut into warm, layered red rock. Wildlife in the plateau forest includes Kaibab squirrels found nowhere else on Earth, mule deer, elk, and the California condors that soar on the thermal updrafts rising from the canyon walls. Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim, just a 15-minute drive from the property, presents 277 river miles of canyon viewable from overlooks, trails, and the rim-edge path that draws millions of visitors annually to what many consider the most spectacular natural feature in the United States. The Bright Angel Trail and South Kaibab Trail descend into the canyon for day hikers and multi-day backpackers; ranger programs, the Grand Canyon Village historic district, and the Kolb Studio round out the interpretive and cultural offerings. Desert View Watchtower, 25 miles east along Desert View Drive, provides the canyon's highest point viewable by vehicle. Summer brings peak crowds to the South Rim alongside monsoon afternoon thunderstorms that make the canyon atmosphere dramatic and the lighting extraordinary for photography. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable rim temperatures, while winter sends the crowds away and occasionally dusts the rim in snow—a transformation of the canyon's character that rewards those willing to brave cooler temperatures. Book your safari tent at Highland Grand Canyon and let the Ponderosa pines and the star-filled Kaibab sky frame your South Rim adventure in a setting that honors the place rather than overwhelming it.

Country Rose RV Park

48 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Country Rose RV Park in Fredonia, Arizona, offers 48 full-hookup RV sites and four tent sites at the Arizona-Utah border, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories join a general store, laundry, dump station, community fire pit, and dog park. Forty-eight sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Four tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. One practical note for planning: Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time year-round, though Navajo lands observe daylight saving — worth checking your clock against your itinerary. A community fire pit, dog park, and picnicking fill the grounds, with a river nearby. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates reasonable for a park whose guests are here for what surrounds it. Pets are welcome. Fredonia sits in Coconino County at the gateway to the Grand Canyon's North Rim — the quieter, higher, less-visited side of the canyon, roughly 80 miles south through the Kaibab Plateau's ancient ponderosa forest. Zion is close to the north, with Bryce, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and the Vermilion Cliffs all within range. The North Rim season runs mid-May to mid-October, and that is the window. Reserve well ahead for summer.

Wyldstay Grand Canyon

5 Glamping Sites

Wyldstay Grand Canyon in Williams, Arizona, is a luxury Dark Sky Resort on 40 private acres of high-desert wilderness in Coconino County — an off-grid glamping destination 25 minutes from the Grand Canyon's South Rim that provides a pinyon pine and juniper forest setting with exceptional dark sky quality for stargazing and an intimate, design-forward accommodation experience that the canyon's South Rim lodges and RV parks, operating at industrial scale during the summer season, cannot replicate. Williams's position on Route 66 at 6,762 feet gives the resort the crisp high-desert air, the ponderosa pine transition forest, and the cool summer nights that the South Rim's crowded lodging district shares without the crowd pressure. The resort's luxury off-grid accommodations on 40 private acres combine the glamping category's design-forward tent or cabin sleeping environments with the specific natural character of the Arizona high desert — pinyon pine and juniper woodland, clear high-elevation skies, and the silence of a rural Coconino County property surrounded by the Kaibab National Forest. The dark sky quality at this elevation and distance from major urban lighting sources makes the night sky experience — one of the most compelling and least logistically demanding natural features available to overnight guests — genuinely extraordinary on moonless nights, with Milky Way visibility and the Zodiacal light visible in spring and fall that urban guests rarely encounter. Pets are welcome. Grand Canyon National Park, 25 minutes north on US Highway 64, receives over 6 million annual visitors and consistently ranks among the most meaningful natural landscape encounters available to any traveler in the world — a canyon 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep that exposes two billion years of geological history in a visual display of layered rock color and canyon geometry that photographs consistently fail to represent at full scale. The South Rim's viewpoints at Mather Point, Yavapai Geology Museum, and the Desert View Watchtower provide the accessible canyon viewing that sustains the overwhelming majority of visitor experience, while the inner canyon trails to the Colorado River floor require overnight permits obtained months or years in advance. The Grand Canyon Railway in Williams provides a historic steam and diesel excursion train service from the Williams Depot to the Grand Canyon's South Rim on the original 1901 railway route — a 2-hour, 15-minute train journey through the ponderosa pine and grassland terrain of Coconino County that arrives at the South Rim's Grand Canyon Depot and returns in the afternoon, giving guests the canyon visit without the South Rim parking and shuttle logistics that drive the summer car-tourist experience. Bearizona Wildlife Park in Williams provides Arizona wildlife viewing — bears, wolves, bison, bighorn sheep — in a drive-through natural habitat setting that makes Williams itself a destination beyond its Grand Canyon gateway function. Wyldstay Grand Canyon operates year-round in Williams's high-elevation Arizona climate, where the summer season from May through September provides the warmest nights for glamping and the peak Grand Canyon visitor traffic that fills South Rim accommodations months in advance. Spring and fall — particularly May and September through October — deliver the most balanced combination of comfortable temperatures, reduced canyon crowd pressure, and exceptional dark sky conditions as the monsoon moisture dissipates and the atmosphere achieves its autumn clarity. Reserve accommodations well ahead for the peak summer and fall seasons, as the resort's intimate scale means its limited accommodations fill against the consistently strong Grand Canyon corridor visitor demand.

The Orchards at Kolob RV Resort

35 RV Sites

The Orchards at Kolob RV Resort in New Harmony, UT, offers 35 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 20/30/50-amp and pull-thru 20/30/50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a picnic table. Every site takes all three amp services. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and WiFi cover the essentials, and the resort is family-owned and small enough to feel that way. Pets are welcome, with a dog park, and there's a playground for kids. The resort sits about three miles from the Kolob Canyons entrance to Zion National Park — the park's most remote and least visited section, where the trails stay quiet and the shuttle system never enters the picture. Hiking is the main event. New Harmony sits in the high country of southwestern Utah, off I-15 north of St. George, at the northwest corner of Zion. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Spring and fall are the best hiking months in Kolob and the busiest for the resort, so reserve ahead.

Bryce Zion Campground

36 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites

Bryce Zion Campground in Glendale, UT, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabins, and 20 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 72 feet. Every RV site is a pull-thru, sorted by service: 30-amp water and electric, deluxe 30-amp water and electric, 30/50-amp water and electric, and full-hookup 30/50-amp. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. One booking note that matters: sites 39 through 49 require an RV at least 30 feet long, so smaller trailers should book elsewhere in the campground. Group sites hold up to 40 people. A bathhouse with showers and on-site dining are available, and pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and a playground handle the afternoons, and the dark Kane County sky is as good for stargazing as anywhere in the state. Glendale sits on US Highway 89 in the red rock canyon country between Bryce Canyon National Park to the north and Zion to the south — a genuine midpoint for anyone doing both. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Spring and fall, the best months for both parks, book earliest.

Cedar Canyon Retreat

20 RV Sites

Cedar Canyon Retreat sits five miles up Cedar Canyon from Cedar City, Utah, on the Highway 14 scenic byway, offering 20 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and an outdoor pool. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric with fire pits and picnic tables in a heavily wooded high-elevation canyon. Twenty sites carry full hookups on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, with accessible sites available and fire pits and picnic tables throughout. One practical caveat worth reading before you book: this is a small, heavily wooded park, and while the layout is big-rig friendly, guests with a trailer or motorhome over 36 feet should review the resort's big-rig guidance in advance. A general store, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a recreation center, community fire pit, and ping pong for other hours. Hiking and biking run from the property into the canyon terrain. The cedar and pine forest and the cool altitude make this a genuinely different environment from the desert floor below — which is much of the point. Pets are welcome. Highway 14 is one of Utah's designated scenic byways, connecting the Great Basin valley at Cedar City with the high plateau country around Cedar Breaks. The canyon's red rock formations sit within easy reach, and southern Utah's national park circuit is accessible from here. The retreat closes for winter, typically November 1 through March 15, to avoid snow and mud. The open season runs spring through fall, with summer heat in the valley below driving demand for the canyon's cooler elevation. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.
