Overview

Fuel up the ATV for camping adventures near Joseph, an off-the-grid recreational town between the hiking trails of Monroe Peak and Joseph Peak in central Utah. Find a local campground on the banks of Sevier River with amenities like full hookups, wifi, and restrooms. Or head an hour from town to Capitol Reef National Park, where Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile geological wrinkle, beckons explorers with hiking trails through red-striped canyons and over cliff sides. Stay a few nights here at a private campsite nestled in an historic orchard with picnic tables, grills, and dump stations. Dixie National Forest’s red rock canyons, scenic byways, and panoramic mountain views are worth a visit, as well. For overnight stays, reserve primitive tent sites inside the forest, or park the RV nearby in a spacious back-in campsite with fire rings, bear-proof storage boxes, and access to vault toilets.
