Sunset Campground (UT)
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Sunset Campground is located in beautiful and unique Bryce Canyon National Park, known for its colorful rock spires and grand vistas that sweep out over the High Plateaus region of the Colorado Plateau. Situated at an elevation of about 8,000 feet (2438 m), the campground is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the park's Visitor Center. Famed Sunrise and Sunset Points are nearby at the heart of the magnificent geologic wonder of Bryce Amphitheater, where hiking and photography opportunities are plentiful. Bryce Canyon offers several day-hiking trails, many of which are interconnected. Single trails range from easy to strenuous, and from less than a mile in length up to 11 miles (18 km); the most popular hikes are combinations of two or three trails. The Bryce Canyon Shuttle, which runs from May to September, makes several stops throughout the park, giving visitors easy access to its most popular trailheads and viewpoints. Astronomers love visiting Bryce Canyon, where 7,500 stars are visible on a moonless night. An annual Astronomy Festival is held each June, the park offers Astronomy and Night Sky Programs on more than 100 nights throughout the year, and guided full moon hikes are another fun way to experience the park at night. Sunset Campground is a very popular site with gravel parking spurs, flush toilets and drinking water. Picnic tables and fire rings with grills are also provided. During the summer months, laundry and shower facilities are available at the general store nearby. The shuttle makes a stop at the campground's entrance, and this site is the closest in the park to many popular hiking trails, which begin and end at Sunset Point. A ponderosa pine forest towers over Sunset Campground, offering equal parts sun and shade. The site is situated in a gently rolling landscape dotted with shrubs and summer wildflowers. The Colorado Plateau contains a multitude of awe-inspiring landscapes and Bryce Canyon lies very close to many of them, including Red Canyon, Kodachrome Basin State Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Panguitch Lake, Boulder Mountain, Calf Creek Recreation Area, Capitol Reef National Park, Zion National Park and Grand Canyon National Park. Driving along Scenic Byway 12 is a must-do for its red rock canyons and jaw-dropping views.
