Henrieville perches on the edge of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, where red rock canyons and ancient arches draw adventurers from across the West. Six RV parks dot the area, offering spots from dispersed BLM sites to creekside retreats. Camp here to launch day hikes to Grosvenor Arch or stargaze under desert skies without the crowds of bigger parks.
Henrieville anchors the scenic drive along Highway 12, gateway to Escalante Petrified Forest State Park and the otherworldly spires of Grosvenor Arch. Hikers tackle the moderate trail to Calf Creek Falls, a 126-foot waterfall hidden in a slot canyon six miles east. Paleontologists still uncover dinosaur bones in the monument's badlands, while wild burros roam the hills near town.
RV parks here suit every style of camper. Families with pets head to Grosvenor Arch dispersed or Cottonwood / Grand Staircase BLM, both pet-friendly with space for leashes and campfires. Big rig drivers pick Rock Springs Bench for its pull-through sites. Schurtz Bush Creek and Pump Canyon Springs draw tent-RV hybrids seeking quiet creekside nooks amid cottonwoods.
