Great Dispersed Camping near Bryce Canyon National Park!!!
We visited this area in June 2026 in our 35th 5th Wheel and had an amazing time. This area has a 16 day stay limit and is about 15 minutes from the entrance of Bryce Canyon. Rigs of all sizes can find a spot here, and even in June there were so many spots to choose from. The 1st part of the road will lead you to shaded spots in trees, but if you go past the tree line you will find more wide open spots, perfect for those with solar and starlink.
Across the street from the dispersed camping there is a parking lot that gives you access to the paved bike trail. This trail can take you to Bryce Canyon, or through the Red Canyon.
If you need a break from the heat, I recommend visiting Tropic Reservoir. We went swimming here with the pup and loved it!
Spent 3 nites with our 23ft travel trailer down some side road off Tom's Best Spring road. Tom's road is a pretty easy drive in (side-roads can get rough, but we found a wonderful spot.) Beautiful area! Awesome to see ppl keeping it clean/ respecting the land. Spots are nicely spread out. It was mid-April and once we woke up in a winter wonderland- 5 inches of snow fell overnight. (It all melted that day)
Got in here with a 40’ Class A pulling a car trailer without a problem! Some spots are tricky to get in because of the drainage ditch along the road but it’s manageable in most places for a large rig. Beautiful, peaceful and convenient. People drive too fast on dirt roads but is what it is!
Really great campsite. Stayed here with our tent on a Friday night and it was busy, mostly RVs, but there were plenty of spots still when we got there mid evening. Early October so the weather was colder but not bad if you are prepared. First off the best part is that it’s free! Next, very convenient and safe location (right up the road from Bryce Canyon visitors center), beautiful scenery, and the spots are enough distance away from each other. We found a great spot at the end off of the main dirt path after the pond, big enough for our puppy to run around and with a large fire pit. Plenty of wood, may have to wander off to find it though. The stars look amazing at night. Some reviews say no service, but there was good service where we were, which was higher up. One thing to consider is that there are coyotes in the distance and you can hear them howling several times in the night but as someone from Tucson we are pretty used to that, normal for out west. Speaking of animals, there are very friendly cows that wander around the fields. Saw one at sunrise when we were leaving shown in pic below.
Really great area if you pay attention to the road and your clearance. Saw 20 RVs amongst the sparce pine trees with beautiful open areas. You need to stick to the many already camped at sites. Could spell trouble with muddy roads with rain I believe. Your only 15/20 minutes away from Bryce Canyon town and it's free shuttle system I highly recommend. In town RVS can only park at a few select places before you reach the National Park check in gate. If your capable you must either hike the rim or better yet a short trail dropping into the canyon. Warning ⚠️ the hike out is work.
My Rv is a
30 ft. Class C and Verizon coverage 2 to 3 bars. Ps, unless your staying put, no reason to travel all the way out to Tom's Best area. This spot was like 7 minutes from the main road on the right. Stayed again May 2025 and was just as nice. Since it was Memorial weekend, there were a few more campers, but still had a choice of 5 to 6 places in the first loop on the right. However, they? cut a deep ditch turning off the main dirt road. Looks like everyone managed it fine. Someone placed some logs in it 😄
