Great place next to Sand caves and close enough to town but dark enough for stars. Clean bathroom. Visit the sanctuary.

This has to be one of my favorite campgrounds I have stayed at. Highly Recommend!!!
If you are not familiar with Best Friends Animal Society, they are the largest animal sanctuary in the United States. The Sanctuary that is located in Kanab, UT is 6,000 acres of total property, the actual sanctuary and its facilities takes up 4,200 acres of that and houses approx. 1,400 animals. If you are familiar at all with the Michael Vick dog fighting situation, Best Friends is the sanctuary that took in all the dogs that were confiscated by authorities, called the "Victory Dogs".
We stayed in their RV campground for 10 nights. We were able to volunteer at the sanctuary (which I highly recommend) and went on all the tours they had to offer to really get a feel for the work the do there. Added bonus, they have a buffet lunch served every day at the Angels Cafe, located in the upper part of the sanctuary, for just $5.00 per person. The food was AMAZING!!! (The buffet offers 1 main dish, 2 sides, salad bar and dessert) It's very convenient especially on those busy volunteering days.
The Campground is very quiet with amazing views on both sides of the canyon. There are 18 sites and all of them have full hookups, garbage pickup and free fast Wi-Fi. The camping surface is concrete and each site has its own picnic table. There are two sections to the campground, the first section is site 1-8 and is the older of the two, it has larger bushes and gives you a little more privacy between the sites. The second section is 9-18 and is a little more open. This section does have 2 pull through sites, all others are back in. Currently as of the date that we stayed there, they do not have restroom or shower facilities at the campground, but I was told by the Hospitality Director that they were building shower and restroom facilities that are located in-between the two sections and the ETA for completion is end of November 2023. They do have laundry facilities in town at the Roadhouse Motel, located in Kanab about 7 miles away, which is also owned by Best Friends, The Roadhouse also has a pet spa for washing your dogs after a day of hiking and exploring. On Saturday nights, they usually have a concert in the outside courtyard at the Roadhouse.
Rates for this campground are $71.00 per night for non-members and $51.00 per night for members. To become a member, all you need to do is give at least a $25.00 donation each year.
I would recommend this campground if you are just stopping for the night or if you are going to stay and visit the sanctuary or do some sightseeing in the area. It is close to the Pink Coral Sand Dunes, Zion National Park, North Rim of the Grand Canyon and numerous other hiking destinations. I have included pictures of all the campsites to help you decide which one is right for you.

Volunteer at the sanctuary. Take 1 or all of the tours the sanctuary has to offer and get a feel for just what they are doing to reach no-kill by 2025. Make sure you sign up for your volunteer slots and tours with as much advance notice as possible, they fill up fast. Hike the many trails that are on the property (the property is 6,000 acres and the sanctuary is comprised of 4,200 acres). Go and explore the local parks and outdoor activities the area has to offer.
S70D would stay here again
