Inside the Park
The two campgrounds at Bryce are typical of campgrounds in the West's national
parks, offering plenty of trees for a genuine “forest camping” experience. On the
other hand, facilities are limited.
NorthCampground
★★★has 101 sites and
Sun-
setCampground
★★ has 102 sites. Both are open to tent and RV campers. Sunset
Campground is open late spring through early fall only, while a section of North
Campground is open year-round. Although we would happily camp at either
campground, we prefer North Campground because it's closer to the Rim Trail,
making it easier to rush over to catch those amazing sunrise and sunset colors. Get
to the park early to claim a site (usually by 2pm in the summer). Reservations are
available from early May through late September for North Campground (

)
and for 20 tent-only sites in Sunset Campground,
for an additional nonrefundable booking fee of $10. See the “Amenities for Each
Campground Near & In Bryce Canyon National Park” chart for more information
on both campgrounds.
Showers ($2) and a coin-operated laundry, open from 7am to 8pm, are located
at the
GeneralStore
(for information, contact the Lodge at Bryce Canyon;

), which is a healthy walk from either campground. The park service op-
erates an RV dump station ($2 fee) in the summer.
