RV PARK REVIEW: Bryce/Cannonville KOA. Cannonville, Utah

DISCLAIMER: We are not paid to endorse or slam any RV park we review, the owners/operators are unaware of any position or personal opinion we make and/or post until after the fact. 


MAY 2013

Bryce Valley / Cannonville KOA is centrally located in a beautiful valley with Bryce Canyon National Park to the north (12 miles/15 minute drive), Kodachrome Basin State Park to the south (10 miles away), and the Grande Staircase-Escalante National Monument (1.9 million acres of BLM public land to explore) to the east but the Escalante Visitor Center is just a few miles south in Cannonville, Utah.  There are so many things to do in the area.  This park gets an A+ for convenience of location.

From Bryce Canyon National Park drive south on
Utah Scenic Byway 12 to the KOA and in route you pass by
the Grande Staircase-Escalante National Monument

The KOA is situated in the Bryce Canyon area near 
Cannonville which is also so close to 
Kodachrome Basin State Park

In 1999, John and Marsha Holland purchased the raw land and proceeded to build their dream campground with emphasis on enhancing their guests' camping experience. Today as family owners and operators, they still have the same passion and continue to update and improve the campground.


The 50amp full hook-up sites will accommodate rigs up to 85' and include WiFi (my Verizon Jet Pack and phone did not have reception through out this whole canyon land area), picnic table and fire ring (firewood is available for purchase - do not bring your own).  The park's amenities includes a propane station (we needed to heat McTraveler), a very large kitchen pavillon for groups, a family pool, and a snack bar and a stocked kampstore which we found helpful.  Note: fullly stock up on provisions prior to coming into the national park and monument area; you're in the middle of no-where.

This park has a wonderful rustic western ambiance

The staff made us feel very welcomed and 
they genuinely wanted us to have 
the best possible experience

The family staff is very friendly and concerned about your experience in their campground; but doing so without being overly obtrusive. Marsha is a great source for local things to do and will help you plan your day trip excursions to ensure you don't miss out on the 'best stuff'.  She also gave me her personal favorite hiking tails and advised what time of day is best to tour various attractions.

We used the laundry facility and found it very clean and the lowest priced wash/dry load to date.

Overall, we immensely enjoyed the relaxed, friendly atmosphere, the beautiful setting and the welcome we received that made us feel like family - that's an A+ all around.

Hope you found this helpful and that you'll be back soon.

Wishing you safe travels,
Pam, Jim, Maxx and Mollie


PS - Yes, we recommend this park and will definitely go back!
