Ethel's Hideout

11 sites · RVs, Tents16 acres · Fredonia, AZ
Our story begins with a little old lady, our grandma, who believed with all her heart that we were worth it. She passed a few years ago, and what better way to honor her belief in us than to create Ethel's Hideout. We came from a small ranching family, which has brought us closer than we ever imagined. Hard work and dedication were imprinted on us from a young age. On this land we have built an RV pull-through, camp sites, and horse stalls. One day we hope to have some small cabins to share with you all. Ethel's is your home away from home. We border agriculture and sate and public lands which provides an authentic western experience. Though tucked away to give the illusion of seclusion, we are located only 7 miles from downtown Kanab Utah. Kanab features many fun and exciting events throughout the year. Located right in the heart of several national parks, Zions, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell and many more fun things to tour. Hook ups include power and water. Our most unique feature is horse stalls on site. Bring your horses with you and reserve stalls for them as well. Our convenient location offers direct access to ride on public lands. Traveling with horses? We have just the spot with (8) 12′ x 14′ covered stall. Contact us to book stalls for your horses to stay over night with you.

Ranchito Feliz

6 sites · RVs, Tents9 acres · Cannonville, UT
When booking please add in your note the type of camping you are doing, ie. tent, car, van, or larger RV and please, only texts...NO calls. In the middle of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument; adjacent to Bryce Canyon National Park; within walking distance of Kodachrome Basin State Park; and an easy drive to Zion and Capital Reef National Parks, as well as Lake Powell National Recreational Area, this unique site is an opportunity not to miss. The pet/horse friendly property (approximately 9 acres/3 ha/64 sq. m) boasts private designated single tent sites, and a mix car camping and larger RV sites, as well as paleontological, geological, biological, astronomical, and historical interests of the ranch. The equestrians will find a two-acre pasture, three paddocks, a round pen, as well as beautiful places to ride from the ranch. This secluded location has a small town of about 175 (Cannonville) three miles/5 k distant where there is a small store, gas, and a Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Visitor Center. And, bonus, the in town campground has: high speed internet, and cell phone service and laundry. This ranch and campground is an off the grid, passive/active solar voltaic, so no electricity, no internet and only Verizon works here. In Tropic 12 miles distant all carriers get service. Potable water, shower, dish washing station and composting toilet (This means that all campers count when booking, even the kids...their poops add up too). The views are spectacular from any site where the xeroscaped landscape uses indigenous material and plants to complement the quintessential Pinon/Juniper ecosystem the campground sits in. On three sides you are surrounded by red cliffs in the Carmel Formation which can give shelter from wind and sun, but campers can also look out over the Paria River (you can hear the river from camp as well as its amphibians) which runs south in front of the property and eventually meets the Colorado River at Lee’s Ferry where most put-in to raft the Grand Canyon. Looking north, one sees the meaning of the term “Grand Staircase” by viewing The Entrada, Tropic Shale, Straight Cliffs, Wahweap, Kaiparowits, and Pink Limestone Formations capped by late Tertiary Volcanism; or, the “steps” of Promise Rock, Sand Point, Powell Point, and the Aquarius Plateau (highest forested mesa in North America at over eleven thousand feet.). The biological diversity here is also astounding: Birds: 140 species and counting including the tiny Costa’s Humming Bird all the way up to the enormous California Condor. Plants: 2 species of Sagebrush, 4 species of trees, numerous grass species, and a plethora of beautiful wildflowers and cacti. Reptiles: Many species of snakes and lizards. Unfortunately, this includes the occasional rattlesnake. It is advised that you have your pets vaccinated. Amphibian: Toads and Salamanders Insects: There are very few mosquitos. There are a few biting Deer Flies, and worse yet, those damn gnats. These “no-see-ums” are temperature dependent so are not a bother in the shade, early mornings, late evenings and at night. It is recommended that you bring some kick ass insect repellant and a “bee hat” if you are out and about in the sun during the day between May and July. Fossils: Bivalves, snails, petrified wood (many types) and various other corals, insects and plant fossils abound and are often incorporated into the ranch infrastructure. The nearby area is considered the hottest paleontological spot on the planet. Astronomy: The area is widely considered to be under the darkest skies in the lower 49. The Milky Way and Presides are common sights without the unsightly annoyance of any neighbor’s lights. The climate is varied and interesting. All four seasons are here and occasionally all in one day. Winter snows melt quickly though temperatures can dip into the sub-zeros. The 5,900 ft./1800 m. elevation keeps the summer temps reasonable and always gives a chilly summer evening to cool things off. If you want climatic extremes, you can, within an hour or so, be at Lake Powell and its 100+ F/38+ C heat or on the Aquarius Plateau at 65 degrees F/18 C in midday June. Recreation on many levels is all within proximity. From canyoneering, “free” climbing on an established nearby crag composed of a welded tuff capping the Aquarius Plateau (see Mountain Project and “The Aquarius Plateau”) and many aid lines on Entrada Formation towers within walking distance (see Mountain Project and “The Grand Staircase”), water sports of Lake Powell and the Colorado River as well as fishing in the cool temps of Pine Lake 35 minutes distant. Then of course, there is the Monument, National Park and the State Park only a short drive away. Seclusion, security, water, and views all within a short walk or drive of exiting destinations, make this worth the stop.

Camping near Kanab guide

Overview

In the heart of Kane County, Kanab rests on the Utah-Arizona state line and offers camping excursions across two beautiful states. Explore Zion National Park to the northwest—Utah’s first national park that’s home to towering canyons, winding rivers, and learning opportunities in the Zion Human History Museum. Across the border lies Grand Canyon National Park, where campers can stroll the canyon rim or ride the river for towering views. For wilderness escapes closer to Kanab, try Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Wind can move the pink dunes up to 50 feet per year, so no two trips will ever be alike. Cruise the desert in an RV, or pitch a tent under the wide skies to admire everything that camping near Kanab has to offer.

Where to go

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park

Hike along pink sand dunes, race over the landscape in an ATV, or catch a glimpse of rare wildlife with a trip to Coral Pink Sand Dunes. Home to Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetles found only in this region, the dunes offer a unique look into the deserts of Utah and Arizona. Camping is welcome year-round in the park, where amenities include pull-through campsites, drinking water, and a dump station.

Zion National Park

From the rugged wilderness of sandstone cliffs to the rushing water of Virgin River, Zion National Park has something for every nature lover. Chase a thrill while canyoneering down Virgin River Narrows, or learn more about Zion’s history in the accessible Zion Human History Museum. Multiple on-site campgrounds offer tent and RV camping, though campers are advised to book ahead for the busy season from May to November. For a relaxed way to see the park, explore Zion’s park shuttles that visit prominent sites, including Zion Canyon and the Temple of Sinawava.

Grand Canyon National Park

An hour and a half south in Arizona, Grand Canyon National Park is home to one of the world’s most spectacular geological destinations. The Colorado River cuts through layers of red rock, where campers can hike in the uplands or drift along the river to admire the canyon from below. Free South Rim shuttle buses run from May to September, offering an accessible way to travel to hiking destinations like South Kaibab Trail. Backpacking and camping on the North and South Rims are available with a backcountry permit, and a range of other on-site campgrounds offer tent camping and limited hookup stations for RVs.

When to go

Camping near Kanab is most popular in September and October, when long days, mild temperatures, and minimal rainfall make for comfortable outdoor conditions. Summer temperatures often reach 110℉, so stock up on water and sunscreen. Wintertime lows in the high 40s keep this region comfortable for year-round camping with fewer crowds.
