Snow Canyon Campground: Best Campground In Southern Utah

Snow Canyon State Park is one of the most popular state parks in Utah and for good reason. Tucked away in southern Utah, this 7,400-acre state park features lava flows, desert landscapes, and sandstone cliffs. It is a hiker’s paradise with nearly 40 miles of trails to explore. But one of our favorite places to visit is Snow Canyon Campground. In fact, this is one of the best campgrounds in Utah and one of our favorite places to spend the night.

Snow Canyon Campground is quite unique. Not only is this one of the few year-round campgrounds in Utah but it is surrounded by red sandstone and black lava rock.

This campground features 17 multi-use campgrounds and 14 RV sites with both water and electrical hookups. This means you can either snuggle up in a tent or enjoy more modern conveniences by bringing your RV.

Each campsite has all of the amenities you need for a fabulous stay including a fire pit, grill, and table. There is also drinking water and a dump station.

Due to the hot desert weather, spring, early summer, and fall are the best times to visit this state park and stay in the campground. If visiting in the summer, you’ll definitely want to bring plenty of shade to beat the heat.

And while the campsites are certainly beautiful and hard to leave, spend some time exploring Snow Canyon State Park. If you are in the mood to hike, check out the Lava Flow Trail or the Jenny’s Canyon Trail.

If you just want a more relaxing adventure in this southern Utah desert, take the short drive up to Snow Canyon Scenic Overlook. It’s gorgeous.

Snow Canyon Campground is one of our favorite campgrounds for setting up your base camp in southern Utah. The campground is beautiful, year-round, and close to many attractions. It’s one of the best camping spots in Utah.

Reservations are strongly encouraged for this campground. You can learn more on the Utah State Parks website.
