Where to Stay, Camp & Eat in Bryce Canyon - Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks - page 98

Nestled among the trees along the south side of Utah 12, the tent and RV sites offer
terrific views of the red rock formations across the highway, although there is a bit
of road noise. There are a number of scenic trails close by. Showers cost $2 and use
of the dump station costs $5, whether you're staying in the campground or not.

chart for more information.
KodachromeBasinStatePark, about 22 miles southeast of the park, has an at-
tractive tent and RV campground with sites scattered among unusual rock chim-
neys and piñon and juniper trees. (See chapter 8, “Nearby Things to See & Do.”)

Where to Eat
In addition to the restaurants discussed below, Ebenezer's Barn & Grill, part of
the huge Best Western Plus Ruby's Inn complex, at 26 South Main St., in Bryce
Canyon City, offers a Western dinner and show, nightly at 8pm, during the sum-
mer. Similar to chuck wagon dinners elsewhere, diners go through a chow line and
pick up their grub and then head to large tables to eat and enjoy the show, a com-
bination of Western-style music and humor. Dinner choices include rib eye steak,
baked salmon, baked chicken, and barbecue, with prices from $26 to $32, and all
meals include beans, potatoes, corn bread, dessert, and a nonalcoholic beverage.
Tickets are available at Ruby's Inn; for information call & 435/834-5341 ext. 7099.

Picnickers can stock up at the small General Store inside the park or at one of the
several stores not far from the park entrance. See the Fast Facts entry for “Supplies”
in chapter 10, “Fast Facts.”
The Lodge at Bryce Canyon ★★★ AMERICAN We would come here just for the
mountain-lodge atmosphere, with two handsome stone fireplaces and large win-
dows looking out on the park. But the food's good, too, and reasonably priced con-
sidering that this is the only real restaurant in the park. The service is good, al-
though not always speedy, but this is not a fast-food restaurant. Breakfasts offer
typical American standards and a good buffet. At lunch, you'll find sandwiches,
