Hot Spring

Monroe Canyon RV Park

46 RV Sites

Tucked into a small valley at the base of Monroe Mountain in Sevier County, Utah, Monroe Canyon RV Park serves as the gateway to one of the most geographically varied and surprisingly undervisited corners of the Colorado Plateau. Located just eight minutes south of Richfield and designed from the outset to accommodate large rigs comfortably, the park combines wide pull-through sites, thoughtful amenities, and direct ATV trail access with the kind of small-town Utah character that makes extended stays feel like a genuine discovery. For travelers working the Scenic Byway 89 corridor or positioning for southern Utah's national parks, Monroe Canyon punches well above its size. Big rig-friendly pull-through sites with full hookups accommodate rigs of virtually any length, and the park's central red pole barn houses renovated bathrooms and showers, a laundry room, an event space, and a camp store with an ice cream counter that has become something of a local institution. A recreation hall, horseshoes court, fire rings, and dog park round out the standard amenities, and a working petting farm featuring chickens, goats, and baby calves gives families with children an on-site attraction that delights every age. The direct connection to Utah's ATV trail system from the park allows riders to roll out without loading up—a practical advantage that serious off-highway enthusiasts immediately recognize. Monroe Mountain and the surrounding Fishlake National Forest define the natural context for the park. The Monroe Peak and Signal Peak formations visible from the campground are among the most active paragliding launch sites in the intermountain West—the landing pad is one block from the park, making paraglider watching an impromptu on-site entertainment option. Two different hot springs are within five minutes of the park, providing sunset and sunrise soaking options that complement a day in the backcountry with exceptional ease. Monroe City operates a fishing pond two blocks from the campground, giving anglers immediate access without requiring a drive. The broader Sevier County corridor positions Monroe Canyon as a base camp with remarkable range. Red Hill Hot Springs, the Fremont Indian State Park, and the dramatic canyon country of Fishlake National Forest provide immediate hiking and exploration options. Bryce Canyon National Park—with its iconic hoodoos, amphitheaters, and stargazing—is approximately ninety minutes south on Highway 89, and Capitol Reef National Park is ninety minutes to the east across the Plateau. Zion and the Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument extend the canyon country itinerary further west and south. Monroe Canyon RV Park is open year-round, and the high elevation of the Sevier Valley delivers four genuine seasons. Summer is peak season for ATV riding, hot springs soaking, and national park touring, while fall brings dramatic aspens and cooling temperatures ideal for exploring the national forest. The park books up for summer holiday weekends, and the park's value proposition—direct ATV access, excellent infrastructure, petting farm, and proximity to multiple national parks—continues to draw travelers who discover the Monroe corridor as a southern Utah alternative to the more crowded gateway communities. Book your site and use Monroe Canyon as the base camp the Plateau deserves.

River Dance RV Resort

39 RV Sites

On the banks of the Eagle River in Gypsum, Colorado—in the broad valley between the Flat Tops Wilderness and the southern edge of the White River National Forest, 20 minutes west of Vail and 15 minutes east of Glenwood Springs—River Dance RV Resort occupies a riverside position in one of Colorado's most recreationally rich mountain valleys, offering full hookup sites with private Eagle River frontage for fishing, tubing, and kayaking alongside a resort amenity package that includes a swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, dog park, and clubhouse in a setting where the Vail Valley's extraordinary outdoor recreation inventory is immediately and easily accessible. For Colorado Rockies travelers who want a Vail Valley experience without Vail prices, Gypsum's Eagle River corridor delivers the mountain landscape and the river access without the resort town premium. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer provide the practical infrastructure alongside flat, stable pads and WiFi connectivity throughout the property. A general store, laundry, clean bathrooms and showers, and walking trails complete the on-site amenity set. The private Eagle River frontage is the resort's most distinctive feature—guests can fish for the brown and rainbow trout that the Eagle River supports in the stretches above Gypsum from directly behind their sites, and kayaking, tubing, and wading are available without driving to a separate access point. A Park & Porch tiny home village on the property extends accommodation options beyond traditional RV sites for guests who want a more permanent-feeling structure. Gypsum sits in Eagle County in the Eagle River Valley, where the river's lower reach flows through a broader agricultural and residential valley before joining the Colorado River at the town of Eagle. The surrounding landscape transitions between the sagebrush and pinyon-juniper hillsides of the valley floor and the spruce-fir forests that begin at higher elevations in the adjacent national forest. The valley's characteristic warm, dry Colorado summer climate—sunny days, cool nights, and the dry air that makes Colorado's heat genuinely comfortable—makes the Eagle River corridor one of the most pleasant outdoor recreation environments in the Rocky Mountain region. Vail, 20 minutes east on Interstate 70, provides year-round destination recreation: world-class skiing and snowboarding on Vail Mountain in winter, and the summer transformation into hiking, mountain biking on the Epic Discovery network, the Vail Gondola providing summit access, and the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens—the highest public botanical garden in North America. Glenwood Springs, 15 minutes west, offers the world-famous Glenwood Hot Springs pool—the largest natural hot springs pool in the world—and Glenwood Canyon's extraordinary scenery on the Colorado River. River Dance operates year-round in a Colorado mountain valley that provides genuine recreational appeal in every season—skiing and snowshoeing in winter, the Eagle River's peak fishing and paddling in spring and summer, Vail's mountain biking and hiking in summer, and the remarkable fall foliage of the aspen forests turning gold throughout Eagle County from mid-September through early October. Reserve your Eagle River site at River Dance and let the Vail Valley's mountain recreation and the river running outside your door make this Gypsum campground the Colorado basecamp you'll return to every season.

Paradise RV Park (Desert Hot Springs)

89 RV Sites

Paradise RV Park in Desert Hot Springs, California, offers 89 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, behind a gated entrance in the Coachella Valley. A pool, fitness center, dog park, and pickleball courts serve a private desert community near Palm Springs. Eighty-nine back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables and BBQ pits at the sites. The 20-amp option suits smaller trailers that do not need a full pedestal. Restrooms and WiFi serve the sites, and a gated entrance controls access — which matters for the long-stay guests who make up much of the winter occupancy. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a fitness center for the rest of the day and a community fire pit for the evenings. Pickleball and bocce ball courts fill the competitive calendar, and a playground and dog park serve families and pets. The mountain and desert setting frames the property on every side. Desert Hot Springs is distinct from the valley's southern resort communities. Its famous natural mineral hot springs sustain a spa and wellness industry that operates independently of the Palm Springs tourist economy, which gives the town a quieter, more restorative character — and the hot spring access is genuinely the reason many guests choose this side of the valley. The San Jacinto Mountains rise to the south, with Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park both within easy reach. Winter is decisively the season in the Coachella Valley, when snowbirds fill the desert communities. Book well ahead for January through March, and expect April festival weeks to tighten availability across the entire valley.

Finish Line RV Park

1 RV Site, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

At 263 Golf Links Road in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Finish Line RV Park has transformed the RV experience in one of the South's most historically distinctive resort cities—delivering paved, level sites with concierge service, a spa-inspired bathhouse, a 12-foot waterslide and splash pad, and fiber-optic WiFi that rivals anything available in the region's full-service hotels. The park's name reflects its walking-distance position to Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, one of the country's most beloved thoroughbred racing venues, where the Sport of Kings has drawn visitors to Hot Springs every spring since 1904. For guests who want a polished, full-service RV experience woven into the social and cultural fabric of Hot Springs, this is the property. Paved, full hookup sites include 30 and 50-amp service alongside the fiber network and a level of thoughtful service—24-hour staff, curbside trash pickup, concierge assistance—that sets the property apart from parks that provide utilities and call it done. The spa-inspired bathhouse upgrades the shower experience significantly from the typical campground standard, and the splash pad and 12-foot waterslide add legitimate summer recreation value for families. E-bikes are available for rent to explore the park and surrounding neighborhood, and the horseshoes and cornhole pavilion provides a social gathering point for guests who want to sit outside after the racing ends. Security gating provides peace of mind for extended-stay guests. Hot Springs occupies a thermal valley in the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas, where 47 naturally heated springs emerge from the flanks of Hot Springs Mountain at a constant 143°F—a geological phenomenon that attracted Native Americans, Spanish and French explorers, and eventually the Gilded Age resort industry that built the extraordinary Bathhouse Row along the base of the mountain. The resulting landscape is a unique combination: a National Park (Hot Springs NP is the oldest federal reservation in the country, predating the National Park System) embedded in the heart of a working resort city, with Bathhouse Row's beautifully restored 1915–1923 spa buildings forming a streetscape unlike anything else in the South. Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, within walking distance of the park, operates one of the country's finest thoroughbred racing meets from January through May and hosts live races on weekends through the summer. The adjacent casino operates year-round. The surrounding Ouachita Mountains offer some of the region's finest outdoor recreation: Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine provide world-class bass fishing and water skiing, Garvan Woodland Gardens displays breathtaking botanical plantings across 210 acres on Lake Hamilton, and Magic Springs water and theme park provides family entertainment. Crater of Diamonds State Park—the world's only diamond mine open to the public—lies two hours southwest. Hot Springs operates year-round, though racing season from January through May fills Oaklawn's grandstands and the surrounding area with the energy of one of the sport's most loyal regional racing communities. Summer brings families to the lakes and water parks alongside the Hot Springs documentary and art film communities. The Quapaw Bathhouse and Buckstaff Bathhouse still operate thermal baths in the original Bathhouse Row buildings, offering a connection to the therapeutic water culture that made Hot Springs famous. Book your site at Finish Line RV Park and let Hot Springs deliver its remarkable combination of horse racing, thermal history, lake recreation, and mountain scenery.

Sun Outdoors Yellowstone North

1 Apartment

A quarter mile from the Roosevelt Arch—the stone gateway through which millions of Yellowstone visitors have passed since 1903—Sun Outdoors Yellowstone North in Gardiner, Montana occupies perhaps the most dramatically positioned RV park in the national park system. Just steps from the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, the resort anchors travelers in a small Montana mountain town where the Yellowstone River runs cold and clear, the surrounding mountains rise in every direction, and the wildlife that defines Yellowstone begins making appearances long before you pass through the arch itself. Gardiner is the only Yellowstone entrance open to wheeled vehicles year-round, making this an essential stop for any season. Premium full hookup RV sites offer 20, 30, and 50-amp electric service alongside WiFi, cable, and picnic tables at each site, creating a comfortable and well-connected base for Yellowstone exploration. Pet-friendly standard sites with full hookups provide additional options, and cabin rentals are available for travelers who prefer a roof. A camp-wide WiFi network, a general store stocked with supplies and local information, and a main deck area for gathering complete the essential amenities. The resort's proximity to Gardiner's restaurants, art galleries, and shops—all within a short walk—eliminates the need to drive for meals or supplies after a long day in the park. Gardiner sits at 5,314 feet in the Yellowstone River canyon just north of the park boundary, surrounded by the dry, sage-covered slopes of the Absaroka Range that frame one of America's most celebrated mountain landscapes. Elk are visible from camp throughout the year—the Northern Yellowstone herd migrates through Gardiner and the surrounding valleys in massive numbers each fall and spring, and individual animals are present on the slopes and river bottoms in virtually every season. Pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and mule deer are regular sights on the hillsides above town. Yellowstone National Park's Northern Range, accessible directly through Gardiner, contains the highest concentration of predictably visible large mammals in North America—wolves of the Lamar Valley, grizzly bears and black bears on the hillsides, bison herds on the valley floors, and the full complement of Yellowstone's thermal features along the road to Mammoth Hot Springs. The Lamar Valley, often called "America's Serengeti," is the premier wildlife viewing corridor in the continental United States. The Yellowstone River through the Black Canyon and through the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone provides extraordinary scenery and fishing for native Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Yellowstone's North Entrance operates 365 days a year, making Sun Outdoors Yellowstone North uniquely positioned as a winter gateway when all other park entrances close to wheeled vehicles. January and February offer the remarkable experience of wolf watching, bison in the snow-covered valleys, and thermal features surrounded by winter silence. Summer season is at full capacity from June through September—book as early as possible. Spring and fall offer excellent wildlife activity as animals migrate through the corridor. Reserve your site at Sun Outdoors Yellowstone North and wake up within walking distance of one of the world's great natural wonders.

Sixteen cabins and 40 tent sites round out the accommodations, making this unusually tent-friendly. A general store, boutique shop, restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side.

A bar, on-site dining, billiards, an arcade, and live music fill the evenings, with a disc golf course, walking trails, and picnicking outdoors. The property also serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Lolo sits in Missoula County at Lolo Pass, gateway to the Clearwater National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness on the historic Nez Perce trail route through the Bitterroots. The US-12 corridor between Missoula and Idaho's Clearwater Country runs past the door. Year-round operation makes the hot springs a genuine four-season draw, with winter soaking a real attraction. Summer highway traffic is the peak — reserve ahead.

Oregon Outback RV Park

11 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Oregon Outback RV Park in Lakeview, Oregon, offers 11 RV sites and a tent site on the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Pull-through and no-hookup back-in categories serve a spacious, family-owned property at 4,800 feet with views of Abert Rim.

A tent site covers simpler camping. Laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. A playground serves families, and the setting does the rest. Abert Rim rises directly from the alkali flat of Lake Abert's western shore — the longest exposed fault escarpment in North America at over 30 miles long and 2,500 feet tall, a geological display that recalibrates your sense of the Great Basin's vertical scale. Fishing, hiking, biking, birding, and hot springs are all accessible from the area, with skiing nearby in season. The elevation delivers crisp, clear air and genuinely dark night skies, which the Outback Byway's distance from any major urban center sustains. Lake County packs more geological and wildlife interest into its landscape than almost anywhere else in Oregon. The park serves the high desert season, with summer travel on the byway the peak and fall bringing clear conditions and quiet. With 11 sites, reserve ahead for summer weekends.
