Las Vegas RV Resort

375 RV Sites

Las Vegas RV Resort offers 375 full-hookup RV sites roughly four miles from the Strip, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Five categories run from entry back-ins through standard and premium back-ins to large and deluxe pull-throughs, behind a gated entrance. This is an age-restricted park — all guests must be 18 or older. Three hundred seventy-five sites span entry back-in, standard back-in, premium back-in, large pull-through, and deluxe pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 100 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. A general store stocked with convenience items, Las Vegas merchandise, and RV supplies sits on site, along with laundry, propane fills, a dump station, RV storage, restrooms, and showers. Security is staffed around the clock. The amenity set reflects the premium positioning. A renovated outdoor pool and spa anchor the property, with a fully equipped fitness center, a recreation center, and a clubhouse alongside. Multiple off-leash dog areas serve pet owners, a business center and meeting room handle private events and resort activities, and planned activities run through the calendar. Pets are welcome. The resort sits near Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall on Boulder Highway, in an established local entertainment corridor that runs at a different register than the Strip — better value, less spectacle, and quieter at night, while keeping the full city within easy reach. Open year-round, with the mild winter months and major convention weeks driving the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead for both.

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.

Range RV Campground

53 RV Sites

Range RV Campground in Apple Valley, Utah, offers 53 RV sites with full and partial hookups, 30 and 50-amp service, and rigs accepted up to 98 feet — among the most generous length allowances in the Zion corridor. An outdoor pool and a spa anchor the on-site amenities in a quiet high-desert valley south of the park. Fifty-three sites run from water-and-electric back-ins to full-hookup back-in and pull-through configurations carrying 30 and 50-amp, with picnic tables at the sites and room for rigs to 98 feet. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle longer stays, and WiFi reaches the property. An outdoor pool and spa are the main on-site draws, with a community fire pit for evening gathering. The amenity set is deliberately modest — guests here are using the campground as a base for the surrounding red rock country rather than as a destination. Pets are welcome. Apple Valley sits on State Route 59 in Washington County, between Zion National Park and the Grand Staircase. The position gives access to Zion's quieter western approach via the Kolob Terrace Road, bypassing the Springdale entrance traffic and opening up the Kolob Reservoir and Kolob Canyons viewsheds that most main-corridor visitors miss. The surrounding juniper and sage landscape sits far enough from any significant light pollution to make this one of the darker night-sky locations in the contiguous United States. The campground serves the southern Utah season year-round in a high-desert climate. Spring and fall deliver the most comfortable conditions for Zion hiking, and those shoulder seasons are the busiest — reserve well ahead for March through May and September through October.

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.

Joshua Tree Lake RV & Campground

39 RV Sites, 79 Tent Sites

Joshua Tree Lake RV Campground in Joshua Tree, California, provides a lakeside and desert camping experience at the gateway to Joshua Tree National Park—the 800,000-acre California desert preserve where the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts converge and the iconic twisted Joshua trees create the alien landscape that has made this park one of the most photographed national parks in the American West. The campground's pond and lake, wedding venue, live music programming, and exceptional dark-sky stargazing access distinguish it from the park's own developed campgrounds, providing resort-amenity camping with the Joshua Tree character—moonlit boulder piles, star-filled desert skies, and the haunting silhouettes of Yucca brevifolia in the desert night—that defines the high-desert camping experience at the edge of one of California's most beloved national parks. The campground's facility reflects the desert environment and destination event character: a private lake and pond for fishing and desert water recreation, planned activities and live music and entertainment programming that takes advantage of the dramatic desert landscape setting, a wedding venue for celebrations in the Joshua Tree destination event market, bird and wildlife watching in the desert tortoise and roadrunner habitat, a general store, pavilion, showers, bathrooms, dump station, pet-friendly policies, Wi-Fi, and mountain and desert views that frame every camping site with the park scenery that brought guests to Joshua Tree in the first place. Stargazing events and the campground's exceptional night-sky access provide the evening programming that no facilities can improve upon in this dark-sky desert. Joshua Tree National Park's Wonderland of Rocks—a concentration of massive rounded granite monoliths that rose from magma intrusions 100 million years ago and were exposed by erosion to create the boulder-pile landscape that defines the park's distinctive visual character—contains over 8,000 documented rock climbing routes that have made Joshua Tree the most visited and most iconic rock climbing destination in North America. The Skull Rock Nature Trail, Keys View's panoramic Coachella Valley overlook, and the Cottonwood Spring oasis in the Sonoran Desert section provide the representative national park experiences accessible on day hikes from the campground's Joshua Tree gateway position. The town of Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms, and the High Desert arts and culture community that has grown around the national park's western gateway have developed a distinctive creative culture of galleries, music venues, and the annual Joshua Tree Music Festival that reflect the desert landscape's effect on artistic practice in the creative community that has colonized the Morongo Valley's high desert terrain. The Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum in Joshua Tree—a free outdoor sculpture garden of assemblage art created by Purifoy from the debris of the 1965 Watts Riots—is one of the most significant and unusual outdoor art installations in California. Joshua Tree Lake RV Campground operates year-round in the high Mojave Desert's four-season climate, with the fall and spring seasons from October through April delivering the most comfortable desert temperatures for hiking, rock climbing, and boulder exploration in Joshua Tree National Park—the summer months above 100 degrees Fahrenheit make the park's sun-exposed terrain genuinely dangerous for unprepared hikers in the heat of the day, while the mild winter nights create extraordinary stargazing conditions when the desert air's low humidity and the campground's minimal light pollution combine with the Milky Way's winter arc over the park's boulder silhouettes. The spring wildflower season in February and March after winter rains creates the desert bloom that brings maximum visitor volume to Joshua Tree.

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.

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.

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.

Lake Tamarisk Desert Resort

19 RV Sites

Lake Tamarisk Desert Resort in Desert Center, CA, offers 19 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric. At 70 feet the pull-thrus take a long coach. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a clubhouse, a library, RV storage, recycling, and WiFi cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. Plan your arrival around the office hours: Monday through Saturday, 10am to noon and 2pm to 4pm, closed Sundays and major holidays. An outdoor pool, a hot tub and sauna, billiards, and a lake fill the grounds, with fishing, kayaking, hiking, birding, and the kind of desert night sky that makes stargazing the main event. Golf is next door. Desert Center sits in the Chuckwalla Valley two miles north of Interstate 10, about 70 miles east of Palm Springs, in a stretch of the Colorado Desert most drivers pass without knowing what's there. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Note the office hours — they're narrower than most parks.

Grey Squirrel Resorts

19 Cottages

Grey Squirrel Resort in Fawnskin, CA, offers 19 private cabins across three wooded acres on the north shore of Big Bear Lake. This is a cabin resort 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. A general store, firewood, a spa, and WiFi serve guests, and the resort is open all year. Pets are welcome. The property also hosts weddings. A pond, walking trails, horseshoes, swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, mountain biking, and birding fill the grounds, with skiing and snowboarding close in winter and golf nearby. Fawnskin sits on Big Bear Lake's quieter north shore, away from the village bustle on the south side. The resort has welcomed families, couples, and group retreats since the 1950s — more than seven decades of mountain hospitality in the same place. Rates for the cabins are on the booking page. Ski season and summer both fill Big Bear — reserve ahead, and call about RV accommodation before you tow.
