We spent 4 nights at the Arch Campground Loop of Kodachrome Basin State Park. This is our third time here, and we love the location; close enough to explore Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Capitol Reef National Park, Red Canyon, Grovesnor Arch, among other destinations. The campground is typically quiet, it is clean, and well-maintained. The Arch loop has electric & water hook-ups, although it does only have vault toilets. We did, however, have access to the wonderful showers at the Basin campground loop in the park.
The night skies were absolutely amazing….great for star-gazing or just sitting around the campfire.
There is absolutely no cell service at this park, which is not necessarily a bad thing, in my opinion.

We didn’t camp in the actual campground, but found a place along the lake on the road into the campground. There are several ‘sights’ along Lower Duck Creek Road & Confederate Road for dispersed camping with lake access. Most of the areas have rock fire rings, and several have picnic tables. We arrived on Thursday, and had no problem finding a level spot to park our R-Pod & truck. We also had good access to Canyon Ferry Reservoir to put our kayaks in the water. The lake is pretty busy on the weekend. Every afternoon, the wind blew like crazy, but then calmed down in time to enjoy the beautiful sunsets & a campfire. There are very few trees, so it is warm during the day, and the only vault toilet is in the actual campground. Oh, and don’t forget the bug spray & sunscreen!
Unfortunately, today the lake filled with green algae, so no more kayaking or fishing for us!
We do have great cell service, it’s been pretty quiet for as busy as it is, and we would return to camp, kayak, and fish.

Convenient dump station off I10.
$10; pay at the store near the Sinclair dinosaur, and they will give you a key to unlock the dump.
Only gave it 3 stars as there is no hose, just spigot to rinse our hose after, and there is no drinking/fresh water.

We stayed at BCC for 4 nights. Campground was clean, vault toilets, water spigots throughout the park. Access to the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. We did day trips to Oregon Dunes, Eugene/Springfield, and Crater Lake. Location was good for that. We travel with a 20’ R-pod, and there were very few sites that would accommodate our trailer & truck. ( It would be a great place for tents) The only drawback was the close proximity to highway 58, so there was road noise, but not too bad in the evenings when we were in camp. Mid-week was not crowded, but weekends were at capacity. (We camped mid-July)

We arrived early afternoon on a Sunday. We were told upon entering the park that all of the even numbered campsites were available on a first come-first served basis. However, when we got to the campground, we discovered most of the even numbered sites had reserved cards on the posts. When we inquired with the campground host, he told us that the National Park had reserved those sites for the summer. That left very few first come-first served sites available. Of the sites available, very few would accommodate a camper or bigger rig. We camp with an r-Pod, and struggled to find a back-in site (all of the bigger pull through sites were reserved by the park) that we could get into. We were pleased to find site 74. It had a lovely meadow & mountain view and was not terribly close to our neighbors. (It did seem as the campground filled up later each day, people did use those reserved sites as first come-first served, even though we were told that was not an option).
The campground does have a nice bathroom with running water & flush toilets. There are no hookups, but there was a water spigot nearby to access water. Our site was level, and it seemed most were.
We toured both units of the park during our stay, and visited Medora and the Maah Daah Hey trail nearby, so the campground was a good location for that purpose.
Cell service was ‘spotty’.

The campground is ‘okay’. 10 sites, in a ‘horseshoe’ with a park area (with pavilion & vault toilet) in the central area. The fee is a little misleading, as it is $15.00 per night, with additional charges for being an out-of-state resident, a park tax, and a tourism tax. In addition, you must pay an $8 per day fee for the use of the park. Fortunately the sites have electric, and although not conveniently located on site, we were able to use the showers at nearby Shadehill Recreation Area, and their dump station. The campground itself is right off the road, and therefore there is some road noise, as well as traffic going to the Shadehill Recreation Area. During our stay, we experienced dogs running loose and very loud neighbors, which did not enhance our visit. The park ranger drove through, and actually stopped and visited with people in the campground, and did not seem too concerned about the dogs running loose, running into others sites, etc… The sites are level, and as mentioned in other reviews, sites 1-3 are more ‘full sun’. Site 10 is nicer, as you are on the end of the loop, and therefore don’t have neighbors close by on both sides. There are metal picnic tables and a fire box with grate at each site. Cell service was ‘spotty’.

Spent two nights at this lovely little campground. Fairly easy access from I-15 . It was a good location for a day trip to Craters of the Moon National Monument, and Pocatello is home to some good local breweries. It was quiet the two nights we were here, and the dark sky afforded for some beautiful stars while out by the campfire. No hook-ups here, and campground has vault toilets, but they were clean. There is water available throughout the campground.
Our site was a nice pull-thru, and was fairly private. The campground is in a beautiful forest setting. Definitely will stay here again when traveling through the area.

We were looking for a campground within driving distance to Canyonlands, so we can get to the Needles area early in the day. This place fit the bill! Easy access from 191, between Blanding & Monticello. Paved area with picnic table & fire ring. Site 14 is a pull-through site, making it even easier to get into. Also has a nice view. My wireless provider is AT&T & have service.

We spent the night here, as we were visiting nearby Petrified Forest National Park. This was a good location for a trip there, as well as a stop in Winslow AZ.
The park was quiet, bathrooms were very clean, and we had water & electric hook-ups. The only downfall, there is very little shade.
The ruins in the park were interesting, too.
We definitely will stay here again, as there is much to do in the surrounding area.

We had a wonderful stay at Homolovi State Park. Site 36 is the best, as there are actually trees that did provide shade on our camper for much of the day. The bathhouse was clean, and the showers, altho’ not fancy, had hot water and worked great. Wonderful after a day of exploring in Petrified Forest National Park. Campground is close to Winslow and Holbrook, also. We did see the wild donkeys in the field near our campsite, which was a bonus.
