I really enjoyed my stay at this motel!…read more I am not sure how I found this place but I am glad I did! It is a really easy drive from the east entrance of Zion and right off the highway in Hatch, Utah. Close to Bryce Canyon as well. We checked in late and had no issues. We stayed in the Lone Ranger room which is perfect for two. There is a bathroom, shower, table and chairs, full sized mattress, fridge, microwave and coffee pot. No tv which I didn't mind because the view from the little porch outside is lovely and there is a dark sky at night. I live in an area with light pollution and it was wonderful to see the stars at night. I prefer firmer beds and this was fit the bill and I slept wonderfully. There is a 7:30 am continental breakfast so that was a nice touch too. There is a fire pit and grill available for use. I am really happy staying here! I would definitely recommend it if visiting the nearby National Parks!

What an amazing campground!…read more We spent a week here in October 2025 and fell in love with the campground!! Wonderful friendly staff!! Can't say enough about Ashley who checked in on our fur babies while we out exploring the area! She is professional but yet treated our 2 standard poodles like they were hers. We were out longer than expected, sent her a text saying we would be later than expected. Ashley went and checked on our girls providing true peace of mind!! I wish more campgrounds offered pet setting services. This is a wonderful place for photographers and astronomers of all levels. So much to see and do!

The amenities alone stand out--clean, well-lit facilities, warm showers, and even heated floors (yes, heated floors!). Everything is thoughtfully provided on an honor system, which adds to the welcoming, trusting atmosphere. When we arrived, we realized we had accidentally booked our stay one day too early. Instead of turning us away, they graciously offered us a boondocking spot and invited us to a once-a-week complimentary dinner for all guests. It turned into a wonderful evening around the fire pit, connecting with fellow travelers. Meeting the owners was an added highlight--they were as warm and inviting as the meal they shared. We feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon this special place in the middle of such a beautiful desert.

I felt the need to post this review because I found it very difficult to find recent reviews on…read morethis campground prior to my stay, so hopefully some of you find this helpful! First off, if you're on the fence about going, DO IT! This is a beautiful summer campground, we went June 8-10, 2018 and the weather was perfect. It did get a little cold at night, but nothing that our sleeping bags couldn't handle. The campgrounds here aren't too close together which I really appreciated, but some campsites are more shaded than others. I stayed in B loop, site #48 and it was conveniently located close to the restrooms (which are kept very clean) and the campground host, who sell firewood. People here were very respectful of the quiet hours which start at 10. Keep in mind that there are no showers at this campsite. Also, the picnic table and fire ring are on concrete which I loved SO much and it even comes with a stand for your portable stove and a place to hang your lantern. The campsite also has tent pads that they have leveled out which made sleeping very comfortable. However, the one thing I do regret is not bringing a hammock!! There are lots of trees here. This place is also walking distance to a small lake where you can go fishing and a short 4 mike drive to Duck Creek Village, which has a convenience store, small restaurants, and souvenir shops.

Bryce Canyon national park has two campgrounds, North campground and Sunset campground…read more North campground is First come First served, whereas you can reserve your spot Sunset campground. After I saw both campgrounds, I recommend North campground. We reversed at Sunset but ended up getting a spot at North because it was close proximity to the rim, 1min! Also, close to the general store, which has firewoods, and camp gears and shower. Shower is $3 for 8mins. Last shower is at 4:30pm. Usually campgrounds shower is like warm but here shower gets hot! From Sunset, you have a little more walk and cross the road to go to the rim. And campgrounds were a little tighter than North. So we decided to dump $20 and get a site at North campground. Take the Loop D. It's the closest to the sunrise point. My kids and I went every morning to see the sunrise diuring our 3day-stay here. Just wake up and walk a min! In the Loop D, the best sites are 81 and 83, because their tent spots are very flat, and a little more secluded pluscloser to the rim. We stayed at 99. It's a little slant, but not a bad one. We liked it. Overall, Loop D has good camp sites. This is first come first served, so if you want a spot, it's better to come around or even before 11:30am whichj is checkout time. People even leave earlier like 9am so if you really want good spots, come early. We stayed on August 6, 7, 8, 9 (Thurs-Sun) and surprisingly, there was still empty spots during weekends. I'm glad that we came a little far To Bryce than Sequoia/Yosemite which is closer to our home in LA.

Staying in National Park campgrounds always seems like a hack to me - close to trails, affordable, and peaceful. Recommend Fairyland Loop for stunning views and fewer hikers, sunset point for sunrise (trust me) straight into the Queen's Garden to avoid crowds, and Bryce Point for sunset. Bathroom was clean, metal picnic tables. Quick drive to Sunrise/Sunset Points, I know the FCFS (first come first serve) tent only spots are closer, but I liked the certainty and peace of mind of a reserved spot.

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.

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~

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.
