Accommodation in Bryce Canyon or Overnight Side Ur

Bryce Canyon Park is very popular among tourists, especially in the summer season. What does it mean? It means that they all have to live somewhere. Situation with housing in Bryce is the same as in other parks – there is something within the park itself and in its surroundings. With the only difference that the options are at least debugging! National Forest, Campgrounds, Hotels, Motels, RV Parks, Dominics – I’ll tell about everything.

What do you think better – find accommodation in advance, pay him and go to the park with a calm soul or find something in place, having a chance to consider and engage? If you are not limited to a rigorous temporary framework, you may well choose the second option, especially since it is possible to find information on the Internet not about everything. We just did this.

Where we lived, I’ll tell you a little later, but for now I will share how to search for campsites in place and booting in advance.

How to search for Campgrounds?

Mostly this question is relevant for those who left the search for campgrounds for later and did not boast nothing in advance. It happens not from a negligence relationship, but, as, for example, in our case, from ignorance, where and when you find yourself, and not in every camping you can pre-book a place. Then the knowledge of which tools and the search algorithm can be used.

Look for details about this in the article about the Campgrounds of the USA, carefully written by Andrews for those who are first faced with this phenomenon.

Booking Campgrounds

If your vacation is clearly planned and you know the exact dates of stay in a particular park, you can safely book places, at least six months before the trip, if such an option is provided. Although, in almost every National Park there are camps providing such an opportunity. Just keep in mind that very often the places in them are disassembled quickly and for two months to your alleged visit can not be anything.

Choose camping, decide on the site and book it can be on the official website. Just work in the appropriate field the name of the park of interest and you will be offered options and in it, and at the same time in the vicinity. About what campgrounds can be booked in a particular park, read in the relevant articles about housing.

Where in Bryce Canyon we spent the night?

So, as you already understood, with the housing issue, we decided to understand the place. By the time we got to Bryce Canyon, realized that if near the park there is a national forest, that is, to spend the night with a tent for free. Next to the Bryce Canyon just turned out to be – Dixie National Forest (Dixie National Forest), part of which borders directly with the park (in the West).

Dixie National Forest

Having drove the city of Bryce and Ruby’s Inn, we turned to the second turn right and found themselves in this very National Forest. For a long time to search, where to justify, I did not have to, practically we immediately noticed a clearly hug place – Power parking of an ancient man with stones stones and a log next to him.

The place was at the intersection of the road 090 and Great Western Trail, literally 2 km from Visitor Center. Here we broke the tent.

As we knew, in national forests you can spend the night anywhere (if there are no other restrictions) or at least within the camping icon. As we tried, there were no signs of such, but the place found clearly said that there was no one tourist. Just in case they decided to clarify the Ranger on the way to the park that, yes, how.

The young servant of the park was not too confident voice that within Dixie we can tall in the tent anywhere and completely free, also allowed to burn fires, just carefully (it turned out to be very useful, because in the morning it was only +5 degrees). Said if we want, we can get a detailed map of the forest in the visitor-central, but we were without it.

All would be nothing, but his certain insecurity marked in us a seed of doubt and the next day we decided to ask the same questions to another Ranger. This time I got a uncle at the age, which said it was better to go away, because near the park is here, then there are private lands. So think after that, who can believe. As a result, we never got to the truth, but decided just in case to change the place from sin.

To this end, they went to a detour from the Northern side of the park (12 highway), as we advised us the old ranger. Curled to 087 the road on which several campgrounds looked at the navigator. The encountered information stand spoke about the same – It was conquered a scheme with ten free camping along the East Fork River, only for some reason we could not find them.

In the end, all in the same Dixie Forest, just a little away from the park – 4 km from the city center (next to 1173 expensive). Found exactly the same place with the fire and a log, only here was not so crowded, because away from Trail. To the park about 15 minutes drive.

I note that neither on the first, nor in second place no one bothered us, did not drive and Kosos did not look. I think, after all, it is possible to stop calmly there, although some doubts personally tormented us.

On the map at the end of the article you can find both points of our overnight stay.

Shower, Laundry: In the park near the GRAND STORE store.

Food, water: Food can be bought in the same store or eat at the restaurant at the hotel (The Lodge at Bryce Canyon Dining Room) or Valhalla Pizzeria & Coffee Shop. The supply of drinking water can be replenished next to the city visitor.

Organized campgrounds in the park and the surrounding area

As usual, our option is not the only one. Within the park itself, there are integer two organized paid camping, and in addition, a lot of campgrounds in Beckkaland. The latter will be useful if you are going to go hiking with a backpack behind your back and a tent of the armpit. I suggest to consider closer all options.
