Customer Reviews
We stayed in T3, and it was awesome! Good firepit with a grate you can move, and every campsite has an awning and table. Very clean bathrooms with plumbing. The campsite is clean too. Staff is awesome and super friendly! Beautiful landscape too. I think the only downside was that we couldn't put stakes down for our tent because of a felt-like material under the gravel. But honestly it's so nice that its there to keep weeds from popping up. 10/10 would recommend
I don't recommend the tent only sites. They are packed together very tightly and don't have much room on them to pitch a tent. I measured nine feet between my tent and the person sleeping next door. Our site (5) had about half of the available tenting area covered in thick red canyon mud from flooding. The pad under the pavilion was also covered. It looks like site 4 also floods. This season also featured a camp host who had two loud barking dogs, vacuumed at 10pm (??), and had a heater that kicked on loudly for three seconds and then off for eleven seconds. All night long..... Many of the RV sites would have more privacy and space to pitch a tent.
Great camp spot. We were in a lake side full hook ups spot. Pros: each site has a covered picnic table and fire ring. Gravel along the site keeps the dust down. The bathrooms are heated and upgraded. It’s a well kept site. Nearby petrified wood hike is a nice moderate hike with a some decent elevation gain. There is a fun nearby rock shop. Cons: Be prepared for loud geese 😂 the lake side spots don’t really have great access to the lake, they have wood fencing around them and no real paths down to the water.
Superb camping with geese and bald eagles, oh, and bats. No mosquitos in September anyway. Emily was the best host, and very accommodating as we were on motorcycles and tents. We reserved and the spot sucked so she fixed us up big time. Wish I could have spent more time with her, she was very sweet 😋
We just spent four nights at the Wide Hollow Reservoir Campground and it was fantastic - except for one pesky, thieving squirrel. ;) We chose Wide Hollow Campground because of it proximity to all of the fantastic sites for hiking and site seeing throughout the Escalante area. The campsites include a tent pad and a cement slab with picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Some come with a very nice shade structure over the picnic table area. We also really liked the full bathrooms and showers. There are nice asphalt trails and parking spots between camp sites. Mosquitos and gnats were annoying, so BRING BUG SPRAY, CANDLES, AND ALL OTHER MANNER OF BUG PROTECTION. The Escalante Petrified Forest State Park hike next door to the campground is not to be missed. We loved our stay at this campground!
