“Great Camping- Great Public Transit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed here towards the end of August, and even though the campground was full, it was quiet and dark at night. The campground is within walking distance to great trails (including Canyon Rim) and best of all, the shuttle stop is close by. You can leave your camper behind and just hop on/hop off at your own convenience. Truly an enjoyable place to stay!

“Wonderful campground with very nice hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

We visited Bryce and stayed at this campground in the second week of June. We were expecting the campgrounds to be full, but there was actually decent turnover. Still, as we expected to arrive late in the day and did not really want to fumble around with establishing camp (if we get one) then (not with two young ones), we booked our first night stay at the Lodge. This is how we got to the campground by 7:30 am to select our campsite. It was fairly quiet at 7:30 am.

All that said, the campground has four loops. Loop A and B allow generators and is meant for vehicles more than 20 ft. (i.e trailers/RVs and no tents). Loop C and D do not allow generators and are for vehicles less than 20 ft. (i.e Tents only).

We ended up staying at Loop A site 5 even though we were camping only (and drives just a Prius). It happened that the occupants of that site camped only too and that they were leaving and told us that the hosts allowed it. We checked with the hosts who said it was ok. Apparently, the site is great for tents (big, big level pad for tent, and a separate area for picnic table) - and less good for RV (extra 20, 30 feet up the hill from parking).
It was a nice site - a short walk from the bathroom and water (but not too close). We also were just down from the Rim Trail. So we could scramble up and watch the sunset easily. I guess I might have liked the site less if we had noisy RV neighbors. But it was quiet. Site is not shaded till two p.m. or so, when the sun is over the rim.

Some smaller sites in Look D are shaded. We would probably go for those in the height of summer.

The facilities in this campground were kept immaculate. The bathroom looked and smelled clean. There is also a sink for washing dishes only.

All in all, we loved this campground and can't wait to return. Driving to Sunset Campground (just to see), we thought it is better to be closer to the Rim Trail, even if there seem to be more shaded sites at Sunset.

“Did the trick”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011

The campsite and campground were A typical National Park Campground. No complaints and was as expected. The campground store was very well stocked, they even had pizza. I do wish that National parks would have a separate area for people comming in after 1am and wanting to setting up camp then, nuff said.

“Nice campsite”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Nice campsite for family with young children. Stayed 2 nights. Close to flush tiolets, potable water, beautiful scenary, and lots of room to run and explore. Sites are on a first-come, first-serve basis so come between 9:30am-11:30am to get most desirable sites. We chose a site on the outer circle (Lot B; for tents only) with lots of tall trees and flat areas. Otherwise, lots in the inner circle were small and campsites were located too close together with little shade. Be careful of squirrels and chipmunks. They will forage through your open containers and trash bags. Rim Trail is located right off the North campground. Other easy trails are easily accessible from Rim Trail as well. General store and showers short walk from campsite. We chose North campground because bathrooms were under renovation at Sunset campground, but glad that we did!
