Sunset Campground (UT)

We liked the location of the campground a lot, since many of the top hikes in the park can be done without using a car or the shuttle. Getting in and out of many of the sites can be tough depending on the equipment. Especially people with trailers often have a hard time (not much room to maneuver). For vans some of the driveways should be less steep.

The campsite was under the trees and the place was very pleasant.
The only thing that bothered me was that it required 10 coins for the shower, which was a bit outdated.

Beautiful, quiet, clean. The area was extremely well maintained. We had two stays here, one of which was during the new moon - we kept the fly off our tent just to see the stars. I couldn't recommend this campground highly enough!

Great site. The host was lovely and showed us where to hike with out limited time. Neighbors were courteous.

The location is nice but we didn’t stay after arriving. Too late to cancel. There is only one restroom per loop and our loops restroom had a sign on it that it was permanently closed. Wish we knew this before.

Our campsite was A237 A loop. This is a bad campsite. You have to share the parking pad with A236. The picture on the recreation.gov site does not indicate that the parking pad is a double one. Fortunately, A237 site has the clear side to the RV entrance. A236 has the RV entrance facing the RV of site A237. The two nights we were there we did have good neighbors but the sites were much less than ideal for both of us. The depth of the parking was also an issue. We have a trailer that is 21' long hitch to rear end. We had to park our Highlander perpendicular to the trailer to keep it off the road and there was barely enough room to park it there. We did overhang the A236 site about a foot. A ranger came by and told us that we could not have any part of the wheels off the paving of the site so that is why we overhung the adjacent site slightly. That did not cause a problem with the neighbors. The second day a long trailer pulled with a large pickup parked several sites away from us and they parked the pickup completely off the paved pad. The same ranger drove past the pickup site at least twice and did not require them to park elsewhere. The park itself was great to visit and we had a good time.

Location is this campground’s strong point - Bryce is beautiful. However the campground is mostly a place to park, with no privacy or space, and exceptionally unlevel sites. Someone needs to give NPS a level and lessons on how to use one.

We loved staying at Sunset Campground and were lucky to get a spot. Since RVs are not allowed to park in any parking areas in Bryce Canyon NP make sure that you set out on an early hike in the morning and be back before check out at 11:30. This should give you enough time to complete one of the loops.

Sunset campground was amazing. We rented a site for a single-car, tent-only and it was perfect. The campsite does not feel or look crowded at all, even when it is fully booked. We were surrounded by nature, towering pine trees, fresh mountain air and even wildlife! The bathrooms (albeit lacking showers) have everything you need: privacy, clean toilets and even a separate kitchen area to wash your dishes! It was just what we were looking for and just what we needed to get away from San Diego for a long weekend. Seeing as the parks are right next to each other, we used our campsite as a "base of operations" to visit Capital Reef NP for the day! If we ever make it back to Bryce then Sunset Campground is where we're staying in.

The location was not bad and it was quite during my stay. However, there is a tree stump right there by where you park your car. I tripped and injured myself really badly when leaving the camp site around 5am in the morning. They need to remove that tree stump altogether before they kill somebody!
