Frequently asked questions

Why is Bryce Canyon sold out?+

Bryce Canyon receives over 2.6 million visitors per year but has only two campgrounds totaling about 200 sites. North Campground (year-round) and Sunset Campground open reservations 6 months in advance and book out for summer weekends within hours.

Can I still get a Bryce Canyon campsite when everything is full?+

Set a CamperWatch alert for North or Sunset Campground to catch cancellations. North Campground is year-round and has higher cancellation rates than Sunset. Dixie National Forest surrounding the park has dispersed camping.

What campgrounds near Bryce Canyon are easier to book?+

Ruby's Inn RV Park & Campground (adjacent to the park entrance) has immediate availability with full hookups year-round. Kings Creek Campground in Dixie National Forest (10 miles east, 7,900 ft) has walk-up sites when the park is full.

Is Bryce Canyon good for stargazing from the campground?+

Yes — Bryce Canyon is a certified International Dark Sky Park, one of the darkest in the US. Sunset Campground has the best sky access from camp. The park hosts an annual Astronomy Festival in June.
