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.

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.

Cabins at Joshua Tree Lake by Hostel Cubed

2 Cabins

Cabins at Joshua Tree Lake in Joshua Tree, CA, offers 6 air-conditioned cabin and hostel accommodations, operated in partnership with Hostel Cubed. This is a cabin and hostel property rather than a serviced RV park — the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact them directly if you're traveling in a rig. The grounds are gated, with a bathhouse, WiFi, and a community fire pit. Office hours run 8:30am to 8:00pm Sunday through Thursday and 8:30am to 9:00pm Friday and Saturday. Pets are welcome. A duck-inhabited lake sits at the center of the property — genuinely unexpected in the high desert — with a playground, birding, and fishing. Air conditioning in every unit is not a small thing here. The property sits at 2601 Sunfair Road in the high desert community of Joshua Tree, with immediate access to Joshua Tree National Park, the Integratron, Pioneertown, and the stargazing that draws people to this stretch of the Mojave in the first place. Rates for cabins and hostel beds are on the booking page. Spring and fall are the comfortable seasons and book first — call about RV accommodation before you tow.

Cedar City RV Resort

49 RV Sites, 15 Cabins, 5 Tent Sites

Cedar City RV Resort sits just off Interstate 15 on North Main Street in Cedar City, Utah, offering 49 RV sites, 15 cabins, and five tent sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted up to 100 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Five tiered categories cover standard, premium, and deluxe back-ins and pull-throughs, with an outdoor pool and snack bar. Forty-nine sites span standard 30/20-amp pull-throughs, premium 30/20-amp back-ins and pull-throughs, premium 50/30/20-amp pull-throughs, and deluxe 50/30/20-amp back-ins, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 100 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Fifteen cabins and five tent sites round out the range. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and site WiFi handle the practical side. No wristbands are required for amenities, and each space rental includes six guests. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a snack bar, pavilion, playground, walking trails, and dog park across the grounds. Hiking, corn hole, horseshoes, and live music fill out the season. Pets are welcome. Cedar City sits at the threshold of southern Utah's densest concentration of park landscapes — Zion, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and the Grand Staircase-Escalante corridor are all accessible from here, and I-15 makes the resort immediately reachable from Las Vegas to the south or Salt Lake City to the north. Spring and fall are peak for the park circuit. Reserve well 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.

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.

River Sands RV Resort

River Sands RV Resort in Ehrenberg, AZ, offers full-hookup RV sites with room for rigs up to 75 feet, in both pull-through and back-in layouts. Contact the resort for site count and amp service, since those specifics aren't published. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, a business center, firewood, and golf cart rentals for getting around 51 acres. Cabins are available for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The amenity list is genuinely resort-scale: an outdoor pool, a hot tub and sauna, a fitness center, a clubhouse, sport courts, pickleball, ping pong, billiards, corn hole, a playground, a pond, a beach, and private Colorado River access for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and swimming, with planned activities through the season. Ehrenberg sits on the Colorado River at the Arizona-California line. Cibola National Wildlife Refuge and its birding trails are close, and Quartzsite — where the winter RV gathering draws hundreds of thousands of rigs — is about twenty minutes out. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Winter is the season on this stretch of river, and the Quartzsite shows fill everything within an hour's drive, so reserve well ahead.

The Palms at River Edge

The Palms at River Edge in Ehrenberg, Arizona, delivers a family-friendly waterfront resort experience on the Colorado River in the Sonoran Desert where the Arizona-California border is defined entirely by the river's course, providing direct beach, boating, and water sports access on one of the American Southwest's most iconic waterways in a gated community environment suited to both seasonal stays and active water recreation enthusiasts. Positioned in La Paz County where the lower Colorado River corridor has developed as a winter snowbird and warm-weather water sports destination, the resort combines resort amenities with the Colorado River's recreational resources. The resort's facility is designed around the water-centric lifestyle that the Colorado River enables—a beach for swimming and launching non-motorized watercraft, a pool for independent aquatic recreation, paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking access, fishing directly from the property's river frontage, and boating opportunities on the Colorado's broad lower channel. A gated entrance, clubhouse, recreation center, dog park, playground, general store, propane fills, and laundry serve the comprehensive residential and recreational needs of extended-stay guests, and the shuffleboard and swimming pools provide social recreation alongside the river's more active opportunities. The lower Colorado River at Ehrenberg flows through a landscape that represents the Sonoran Desert at its most dramatic geographic expression—a narrow, intensely green riparian corridor cutting through a stark, tan-and-rust desert environment where temperatures regularly exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit in summer and the river's presence defines the zone of habitability in a landscape that would otherwise be entirely uninhabitable. The river's warm water—heated by the desert sun across hundreds of miles of Arizona and Nevada before reaching Ehrenberg—creates excellent conditions for water skiing, jet skiing, and tubing that have made the lower Colorado one of the country's most popular motorized water recreation destinations. Quartzsite, approximately 20 miles north on US-95, is one of the American Southwest's most fascinating community phenomena—a small desert town that swells from a few thousand permanent residents to several hundred thousand during the January and February gem show and winter RV rally season, creating one of the largest temporary human gatherings in the western United States in a remote desert location. The Dome Rock Mountains to the east and the Trigo Mountains to the west provide off-road recreation terrain for guests with OHV equipment, and the BLM land surrounding Ehrenberg contains extensive open desert camping and exploration opportunities. Joshua Tree National Park is accessible approximately 45 miles west through the Palo Verde Valley. The Palms at River Edge operates year-round with dramatically different seasonal characters—winter's mild desert temperatures from November through April make it ideal for snowbirds and casual water recreation, while summer's extreme desert heat concentrates activity in the early morning and evening hours with midday retreat to the pool and air-conditioned facilities. The resort's full-service infrastructure and Colorado River access give it competitive advantages over simpler Ehrenberg riverside campgrounds, and the combination of gated security, resort amenities, and direct river frontage makes it one of the more complete water recreation destinations in the lower Colorado corridor. Reservations during the Quartzsite show season fill early.

Arizona Oasis

42 RV Sites, 10 Cabins

Arizona Oasis RV Resort in Ehrenberg, Arizona, offers 42 full-hookup RV sites and 10 cabins on the Colorado River at the California border, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 68 feet behind a gated entrance. Covered pull-through and riverside back-in categories join premium and standard tiers, with a marina, boat ramp, pool, and hot tub. Forty-two sites span covered pull-thru, premium back-in, riverside back-in, and standard pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV, sized to 68 feet. Two categories stand out: the covered sites put a shade structure over the pad, which in the Arizona desert is worth more than almost any other upgrade, and the riverside tier puts you on the water. Ten cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. A marina and boat ramp open the Colorado for boating, water sports, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, with an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, beach, clubhouse, game room, playground, dog park, horseshoes, hiking, and biking filling the rest. Offroading is nearby. Ehrenberg sits directly across the river from Blythe on one of the most iconic waterways in the American Southwest, which makes this a genuine waterfront resort in a desert setting — year-round warm weather, river recreation, and I-10 right there. Quartzsite's winter gem shows are 20 miles east. Winter is the season in the low desert, with summer river traffic drawing a second wave. Reserve well ahead for January through March.

Boulder Creek RV Resort

68 RV Sites, 3 Cabins

Boulder Creek RV Resort in Lone Pine, California, offers 68 full-hookup RV sites and three cabins at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Back-in and pull-through 30/50-amp categories join a pool, hot tub, spa, recreation center, and library beneath Mount Whitney. Sixty-eight sites run in back-in 30/50-amp and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. Three cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a recreation center, clubhouse, library, playground, dog park, and walking trails filling the grounds. A lake and creek support fishing, hiking runs in every direction, and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. The setting is among the most visually spectacular of any campground in California. Mount Whitney rises to 14,505 feet — the highest peak in the contiguous United States — directly above the Alabama Hills, whose rounded granite formations have served as the backdrop for hundreds of films. Lone Pine sits in the Owens Valley between the Sierra's eastern escarpment and the White Mountains, with Death Valley to the east. Spring and fall are most comfortable in the Owens Valley, with summer bringing Whitney permit-holders and hikers. Reserve well ahead for the climbing season.
