If you are looking for a KOA campground with a scenic and convenient location to Bryce Canyon National Park, I can’t say enough good things about our experience at Cannonville/ Bryce Valley KOA Holiday.

This KOA can accommodate an assortment of camping comfort levels from tent camping and RV camping, to cabin options ranging from “camping” to deluxe.

As an added bonus for overnight guests, there are scenic views of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Bureau of Land Management.

We spent 3 nights at the Cannonville/Bryce Valley KOA Holiday. It was a great base camp to explore both Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park.

We were on a pretty tight schedule due to the nature of our 7-day road trip from Las Vegas to multiple National Parks. If we had more time we could have easily stayed a week at this location and not run out of local places to explore each day.

After a long day of hiking and exploring it was so nice to come back to a place that continued the feel of outdoor adventure but with amenities.

What is a Park Model RV?

According to Go RVing Park Model RVs (sometimes referred to deluxe Cabins or Cottages) are unique units that provide temporary accommodations for recreation, camping or seasonal use.

We love to stay in Park Model RVs because it’s the best of both worlds with the amenities of a cabin and a camping vibe when we are traveling to multiple destinations.

Park Model RVs are designed to look like a home, but they need to be hooked up to site electricity, sewer, and water like any RV.  They may have a front porch, a sleeping loft and are a great way to experience the campground lifestyle if you don’t have an RV or all the gear that goes with tent camping. 

KOA calls this style of Park Model RV a “deluxe cabin” but they are known in the RV Industry as Park Model RVs.

stars at Cannonville Bryce Valley KOA Holiday

Star Gaze at Night in a Dark Sky Setting

The first night of our stay we arrived at the KOA campground after 10pm when it was already really dark.

(We were at the Grand Canyon and Horseshoe Bend earlier that day.)

The best surprise that evening was discovering the giant mountain behind our cabin after a long exposure on my camera.

I also discovered that my camera caught a shooting star.

Overhead the sky was FILLED with stars at every turn. The “backyard” dark sky views are such a treat for professional stargazers and amateurs alike.

Great Places to Eat Near the Cannonville/Bryce Valley KOA Holiday

We are not big on cooking during vacation and find it more convenient to eat out when we are traveling a lot each day. We found a few local restaurants 5 minutes up the road in the city of Tropic.

Rustlers Restaurant Tropic Utah

During our visit, we ate at Rustler’s Restaurant two different mornings for breakfast. The food was great and so were the prices.

If you find someone willing to share, I recommend going sweet and savory.

You can’t go wrong with the breadsticks or their chicken bacon ranch pizza. If we had more time we would’ve also tried I.D.K Barbecue in Tropic.

They have great burgers and pasta dishes. I tried the jalepeno burger with sweet potato fries.
