Camping in Bryce Canyon

Winter Camping at Bryce Canyon

North Campground's A Loop is open all winter long for first-come, first-served camping. There are 30 sites in this loop, and it is rare for the campground to fill in winter other than around major holidays.

As happens every year when overnight temperatures fall below freezing, Loops C and D of North Campground have closed. Loop B typically closes in late fall unless demand for winter campsites is high enough to justify its remaining open.

Sunset Campground is closed for the winter, and will reopen for first-come, first-served camping on April 15th.

Can't Find a Campsite?

The park has become an extremely popular destination in recent years. Due to this popularity, front-country park campgrounds can fill by noon on weekends May through October.

If you arrive too late to get a site in a designated campground, you have the following options:

Go to a private campground or stay in lodging in gateway communities. Visit Garfield County Tourism Bureau for more information.

Check out options for dispersed camping (note: you are responsible for understanding and abiding by all USFS regulations).

Camping along the roadside or at a roadside pull off is not allowed within the park and violators may be subject to a citation.
