Camping in the Dixie National Forest's Red Canyon campground

On our travel we have met hundreds of people who camp at the same campground, some even in the same camp site, year after year. They proudly declare, "We've been coming to this campground since I was a kid. Brought my kids here when they were little and now we bring our grandchildren." Makes one wonder how these folks know "their" campground is great if they never try another?

After being to nearly 2000 campgrounds in our travels, there are a few campgrounds that suit us very well. One such campground is Dixie National Forest's Red Canyon Campground near Panguitch, Utah. What brings us back is the area's quality hiking and 4-wheel trails, hot showers and a dump station right in the campground, breathtaking scenery all around, and it's convenient to both the community of Panguitch for a "cook's-nite-out" and supplies and Bryce Canyon National Park.

Red Canyon campground is one of those places I hope my children's children can say, "Grandma brought me here when I was a kid. Than I brought my kids and now we bring our grandchildren."
