Phillips RV Park
42 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites
Phillips RV Park in Evanston, Wyoming, has operated under family ownership since 1936, bringing nearly nine decades of accumulated hospitality experience to a campground that has served travelers on the US-189/US-30 corridor in Uinta County since the era when the Lincoln Highway carried the first transcontinental automobile tourists through the high-desert sagebrush country of southwestern Wyoming. The park's longevity reflects the consistent quality and personal attention that multi-generational family operation typically produces, and its position in Evanston—Wyoming's gateway city from Utah on I-80—makes it a natural stopping point for travelers moving between the Wasatch Front and the Wyoming high country. The park provides full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections on big-rig-friendly pads, with clean restrooms, showers, laundry, a playground, and Wi-Fi rounding out the amenity set that extended-stay and transit guests alike require. The Bear River's proximity, noted in the park's listing of nearby features, adds a natural waterway element to the setting—a creek-side character that the high desert communities of southwestern Wyoming provide rarely, given the predominantly arid and treeless landscape that defines the region between the Wasatch and the Medicine Bow ranges. Pet-friendly policies welcome the dogs that many western travelers bring on road trips through Wyoming's wide-open spaces. Evanston's position in the Bridger Valley at 6,748 feet elevation in the Bear River drainage puts guests in a landscape defined by the high sagebrush steppe characteristic of the Great Basin's eastern margins—vast, windswept, and dramatically open in a way that the tree-covered mountain ranges of the surrounding Uinta and Bear River ranges make more visually complex than the simple flat-desert stereotype. The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the Bear River Valley to the southwest near Brigham City, Utah, is one of the premier wetland bird sanctuaries in the Interior West, with shorebird and waterfowl diversity during migration season that attracts serious birders annually. The Uinta Mountains rise dramatically to the south of Evanston along the Utah border—the only major mountain range in the contiguous United States with an east-west orientation rather than north-south—and the Ashley National Forest's Wyoming portion provides hiking and fishing access in the Uinta's northern drainages. Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, approximately 60 miles south in Utah, protects the Red Canyon and Green River reservoir system with boating, fishing, and geological touring that showcases the spectacular canyon geology of the Colorado Plateau's northernmost extent. Salt Lake City lies approximately 90 miles southwest via I-80 for guests who want access to Utah's urban amenity set. Phillips RV Park operates year-round in Evanston's high-altitude Wyoming climate, where summers are pleasantly cool compared to lower-elevation camping alternatives and winter brings the cold and occasional snow that characterize every Wyoming mountain community. The park's 1936 founding gives it a historical depth unusual among operating campgrounds, and the family's decades of experience managing a gateway-community campground has produced the kind of operational reliability and local knowledge that independent travelers on long western road trips particularly value. The park's combination of solid infrastructure, family ownership character, and strategic I-80 gateway positioning makes it a consistent and trustworthy choice for Evanston overnight stays.

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.
