Get ready to experience the magic of Southern Utah, as Harold and Cindy from 1StrangeAdventure explore this hidden gem and take a trip to the Grand Canyon North Rim.
Dark Sky RV Campground stands out as an ideal hub for exploring Southern Utah’s treasures. Its central location makes it easy to experience several destinations, as adventure awaits in every direction.
This campground’s location is perfect for day trips to popular attractions:
• Zion National Park: Only an hour away.
• Horseshoe Bend: About an hour and 20 minutes away.
• Grand Canyon North Rim: An hour and 40 minutes away.
Dark Sky RV Campground doesn’t just offer convenience, it provides unique opportunities to explore like a local:
• Peekaboo Slot Canyon: This popular slot canyon requires four-wheel drive to access the trails.
• Jeep rentals: The campground offers convenient Jeep rentals for exploring the area.
• E-bike rentals: Explore the nearby town of Kanab with e-bike rentals.
The campground’s owners host a dinner night for all visitors. Harold and Cindy enjoyed a nacho bar and meeting other campers. There’s an on-site store that operates on the honor system. It offers drinks, honey, and maps. A sand pit, zip line, swing set, and lounge chairs offer fun for families. The campground also has decent laundry facilities on the back side of the building.
Showering under the stars
The bathrooms at Dark Sky RV Campground are unique. Located in a central building, each restroom has doors leading to a private, fenced-in area. The shower head can be extended outside, allowing visitors to shower under the stars.
The campsite layout offers more privacy than typical campgrounds. The sites are parallel to the road. This means the campsite is on the opposite side, not side-by-side with neighbors. Each site has a small gazebo with a table and a fire pit. Harold and Cindy’s site looked out onto open fields.
Booking a spot at Dark Sky RV Campground can be difficult. Harold and Cindy booked well in advance.
