Practical information for camping at Bryce Canyon National Park

First and foremost, check out this page about things to do and places to stay at Bryce Canyon National Park. Aside from that, here are a few more important things to know when staying overnight at Bryce:

  • Bryce Canyon National Park gained International Dark Sky status in 2019. This makes it one of the best places in the United States from which to watch the stars. We highly recommend you sign up for the park's astronomy programs when you arrive in the park.

  • Old Paiute legends make for spooky campfire stories. Here's one about the hoodoos, the most recognizable feature of Bryce Canyon National Park.

  • The weather always surprises. If you're coming from Zion, prepare for a much colder night at Bryce. Being 1000 feet higher in elevation, it often makes it more than 10°F cooler! When night falls, you'll feel that right away.

  • When anyone talks to you about watching a sunset and/or sunrise at Bryce Canyon National Park, they mean looking in the opposite direction from the sun. With a bit of patience and immaculate timing, watching the rays of the sun shining on the orange rocks of the park will blow your mind.

  • The closest international airport to Bryce Canyon National Park is Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. It takes about 4 hours to drive there directly, but most people add 30 minutes to their drive and pass through Zion National Park on the way.
