First time I ever stayed at a campground/RV park. The campsites are nicely spaced apart. The tent…read moresites have minimal shade - I personally would not tent camp here. The majority of guests here were in RVs and campers. The campground is right off the highway so it could get noisy if your spot is by the road. We stayed the furthest away from the road so it didn't bother us very much at all. We opted to stay in a rustic cabin ($50/night + tax) which included a small mini fridge, microwave, and 2 beds - a queen and twin bed. This spot was perfect. We didn't have anyone staying next to us on either side and it gave a nice sense of privacy. The Red Canyon RV Park has a small dog park in the back corner by the main road. The bathrooms are dated and can use updates but are decently clean. 2 shower stalls and 2 toilet stalls on the property, gender-separated. WiFi is available (although it's pretty weak) and Verizon and AT&T worked well here. There is a general store, gas station, and restaurant/ice cream shop right next door. Laundry services are also available (coin-operated). Overall, it was a pleasant stay with minimal interruptions. Seemed like everyone here kept to themselves and it was great~

The campground is surrounded by large pine trees, which makes the sites feel private and peaceful instead of crowded. Even though it was the off season, a maintenance staff member was on-site and incredibly kind and helpful. We had some RV issues, and he went out of his way to provide us with names and phone numbers for local resources. Off-season camping can be hit or miss, but this campground truly exceeded expectations--especially when many places aren't even open. Easily a 5-star stay.

Because...it's located just 10 miles from the entrance to Bryce Canyon. And...Bryce Canyon is one of the most awe-inspiring National Parks in the United States! That's a fact, lol. I mean...who doesn't love looking at hoodoos??? (which is what makes Bryce so distinct) Yes, well, here at Tom's Best Dispersed Campground (since it is dispersed camping land)...it's free of charge. All you have to do is show up, pick a spot or section that appeals to you, park your car/camper/RV and then set up your outdoor/tent accommodations for the evening. In a way, dispersed camping is like choosing your own adventure. There are no hassles. There's always enough room for everyone. You can really connect with the lay of the land and nature and feel far removed from everyday realities. Upon arriving, I didn't even need to drive far along Toms Best Spring Road (FR-117) to instantly discover a cozy little area underneath some trees that I connected with. Maybe I drove 1/2 a mile off Utah's primary Scenic 12 Byway. Let me give some details about spending the night... - First off was the sunset! What a terrific way to end a fulfilling day of hiking at Bryce to then watch the sun go down while it illuminated the sky in orange. Then once completely dark, the stars at night were visible making for a terrific setting. - Cell phone reception worked well so I had a chance to catch up with what was going on in the world. - The road leading into the dispersed campground was gravel but more than suitable for any sized RV to drive upon. - Hardly anyone was camping out during the prime summer visiting season. - There were two vault toilets located across the street from Utah Byway 12. - I used the app on my phone called Campendium to locate Tom's Best and appreciated reading how worthwhile of a campground this place was from all the reviews. Lastly, I know adding a business to Yelp such as this Tom's Best Spring Dispersed Camping won't get notice out there. So then, why would I take the time to write this review? Truth is...it was a part of my journey towards enjoying what I like to do. I guess, in the end, it's nice to talk about places that conjure up fond memories.

The area of Panguitch Lake is beautiful! You have a mix of small town Utah with some woods, farms,…read moreand a lake. We stayed at the North campground for three nights and then the overflow area for two. There are a few other camping areas as well, there is a south, and then at least two or three additional camping areas near by. I found them all when I got lost hiking around. The camp spots are not all created equal, some a far better then others, and without knowing the area first, you can't possibly know if your getting a quality spot. We reserved a space before we left. When we got there, we found that the place that we had reserved, did not have a flat space for a table next to the RV spot, we would have to hike up and down a little hill to get to a table every time we wanted anything. It just didn't work for our style of camping this time around. We spoke to the camps hosts and they let us switch spots to another open one with no problem. The next plot fit our requirements much better. Although its good to know that not all spots have a water spicket. Each lot does have a fire pit area with a flip style sort of grill, but no BBQ's. There are bathrooms, just toilets, the hand sinks don't work because they say they are trying to conserve water (although I just found that really odd, because I would just go to the spicket and wash my hands). The bathrooms are clean, and well maintained. Also, the lake was not very yielding. You had to throw back anything under 17", which was everything that was caught by my group. All in all, it was a fun, quiet place to go and I would recommend it to any outdoor lover. Next time I go, I will be tent camping and I will probably stay at the South campsite for that.

When camping you can't be picky. Well you can, but if you are that kind of person I'm not sure what…read moreto tell you. Perhaps, book at the lodge just around the corner? If you have a light weight trailer around say a 16 footer, van, or simply tent camping you have little to worry about. Anything bigger, you must prepare to maneuver backing up in very tight space. The sites itself aren't too bad. It's the loop road and trees that can be challenging. I did see one pull through spot and there's possibly more but not much. Another thing to keep in mind are the fleas. If you have dogs, bring repellent. Notice posted warned fleas may carry diseases and may harm other animals or even cause death. Our site (A219) was surrounded by trees. Our solar panel was able to charge, but not sufficiently. It includes a firepit and a bench table. I don't recommend anything larger than a 22 foot trailer. We barely had any room to park my truck because parking on gravel is forbidden. Restrooms are heated during the cold hours. When I say cold, it's freezing cold. We stayed here on the first week of October of 2020. The sun started to heat our trailer by 2 to 3 PM. Overall, I enjoyed our stay. We very close to the Peek-a-boo and Navajo Trail. That was a plus. Our camp host was mellow and most of our neighbors were polite and respectful. However, I've seen a few who were the opposite. It's camping so I didn't let it ruin my experience. Also a warning. Dump station is not in this campground but potable water available at the restrooms. You can't directly connect a hose to your trailer because it is just too far from the road. Dump station is located near Sunrise Point where potable water is available. Ask the host or ranger if you have troubles finding it.

GREEDY! Do not recommend if you are a women solo traveler!…read more I booked this spot because the cabin looked cute and quaint. Unfortunately I did not have a great experience at all. I have to take a medication that makes me very sick. I was feeling okay when booking, but it took a turn that afternoon. So I requested a refund 3 hours before arrival which was denied. TOTALLY FINE! So I stuck it out and decided to head over despite not feeling good at all. When I arrived it was great! The bed was super hard though. Then I went to the bathroom and noticed the code that everyone gets is the same for boys and girls showers/ bathrooms.. I've been harassed before as a solo traveler so I take safety seriously. 1. The bed so super hard and uncomfortable (I could deal with that!) 2. Men have 100% access to women showers and bathrooms. That's where I draw the line. I asked the front desk worker for a blanket for extra support, AND just to confirm that I have NO safety measurements as a woman when I shower. Once that was verified, I actually wanted to leave. So I asked for a refund or any $ back at all so I can stay somewhere else to shower safely and get good sleep with a better mattress. The following is why I'm leaving 1 star: The blonde woman was extremely condescending and rude to me. She said "ehm, no. I'm sorry. I mean you already tried due to some illness before so it just kind of sounds like you're just trying to get out of the reservation" with a horrible attitude. My illness is NOT visible, and this was also before I found out men have 100% full access to women's bathrooms and showers! *if you're a women, spend the extra money and stay at yonder! Women's bathroom has private locks for showers and safety/ privacy is actually considered! All good experiences over there, and they are MUCH nicer and not condescending !!!

It is 7 miles from Panguitch, UT and 13 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park. TIP: It's only open from late Spring to early October. There are educational displays here. You can purchase clothing, magnets, bottles, toys, books, and other souvenirs. As always, you can ask staff questions and get a map of the area. Outside are large panels with information pertinent to the area for recreation activities, wildlife and plants here in the Dixie National Forest. Lots of good advice and particulars! About 1.3 miles (maybe 3 minutes out) East from this Visitor Center, there are 2 Red Canyon Arches (or tunnels). They span Highway 12 and you drive through them. They are close in distance. Be prepared to take pictures or stop at the turnout. Along this road to & from Bryce Canyon you can see some magnificent hoodoos & cliffs. It's no wonder this is called a Scenic Byway! For those interested in rubber stamp images, they have one for Dixie National Forest, Red Canyon _ Dixie National Forest, and Smokey (paw print). Take time to stop in at this visitor center! Stretch your legs. There are short trails where you can explore the area. If we have time the next time we stop in, I would love to explore the Pink Ledges Trail and the Hoodoo Trail.
