Bryce Canyon National Park has two campgrounds, North campground (open year-round) and Sunset campground (closed in winter). Both campgrounds are located in close proximity to the Visitor Center, Bryce Canyon Lodge, and the main Bryce Amphitheater.
First-come, first-served campsite availability is hard to predict, but we generally recommend arriving before noon (if possible), and making your campsite your first priority when you arrive. Help us reduce congestion and pollution in the park. During shuttle season (mid-April to mid-October), campers are encouraged to leave their vehicles at their campsite and utilize our free shuttle service to visit the park's most iconic areas. Please note that vehicles over 23 ft (7 m) are restricted from parking in the Bryce Amphitheater during shuttle hours.

Frequently Asked Questions If you're looking to book a first-come, first-served campsite, please go directly to the campground. You can get the necessary information at the entrance kiosk or by speaking to a campground host.
If you're looking to reserve a campsite, please visit Recreation.gov. It's very difficult to predict whether a first-come, first-served campsite will be available when you arrive at the park. Here are some tips:
Due to rising visitation, Bryce Canyon's front-country campgrounds can fill by noon on weekends in May through October. If you arrive too late to get a site in a designated campground, you have the following options:
Dispersed camping is not allowed within the park. Campers found along the roadside or at a roadside pull-off within the park may be subject to citation. Campsites vary in size and the only way to know for sure if your trailer or RV will fit is by verifying the length of your rig (including your tow-car) and comparing it to your intended site's measurements before booking. Dimensions for all campsites can be found on Recreation.gov.
If your tow-car causes your measurements to exceed the site's dimensions (wheels on pavement at all times), you will have to leave your tow-car in the overflow lot located near the Visitor Center. Please inquire with the campground host for parking information before parking in the overflow lot. It depends! A small van, or vehicle with a roof-top tent, can park in a tent site only if it fits in the space without overflowing into the road or damaging resources (no parking, camping, or walking on vegetation).
Do not remove barricades (Large rocks, large tree branches, logs or carsonite posts) for any reason. Cars are to stay on paved areas. To ensure your vehicle will fit, please check the site dimensions on Recreation.gov before booking. No. At this time tents are only permitted in areas designated for tent camping.
It depends on the pass! Only the following passholders (with valid ID) are entitled to a 50% discount on their camping fees:
Coin-operated shower and laundry facilities are available at the General Store during operating hours. The General Store is located near Sunrise Point and North Campground and also serves "grab-and-go" hot and cold food, beverages, camping supplies, and souvenirs.
The General Store is typically closed between January and March. In addition to restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities, the General Store also offers "grab-and-go" hot and cold foods such as hot dogs, ice cream, and sandwiches. Beverages such as soda, water, beer, and coffee are also available. Visitors can also find camping supplies including firewood and souvenirs.
The General Store is typically closed between January and March. Note: Gathering firewood, pine cones or pine needles found within park boundaries is prohibited. If you're camping in a designated tent loop, generators are not permitted to be used at any time.
If you're camping in an RV loop, generator hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. only. No. There are no sewer hookups at any campsite and portable showers and toilets are prohibited. This includes solar showers, and showers or toilets set up in pop-up tents.
