Campgrounds and RV parks near Castle Dale, UT

Castle Dale sits in Castle Valley in Emery County along Utah State Route 10, between the Wasatch Plateau to the west and the San Rafael Swell desert to the east. Utah State Route 10 passes through the center of town, leading northeast 31 miles to Price and southwest 37 miles to Interstate 70. The town serves as a practical base for several reservoir campgrounds and a handful of private RV parks. Huntington State Park sits between the mountains of the Wasatch Plateau and the desert of the San Rafael Swell, roughly a half-hour north on Highway 10, while a secluded 435-acre lake at the mouth of scenic Ferron Canyon anchors Millsite State Park to the south. Both parks are operated by Utah State Parks and share the same reservation system. For RV renters who want full-service private options, Buckhorn RV Park and Resort near Huntington, Legacy Inn and RV Park, and Nine Mile Ranch northeast of Wellington round out the choices. Nine Mile Ranch is notably remote and sits along the Nine Mile Canyon road.

Utah State Parks handles reservations for Huntington and Millsite through the Utah State Parks reservation system on ReserveAmerica. You can make reservations 4 months in advance, but not within 48 hours of your arrival, and reservations cannot be made through the State Park office phone line. Walk-in fees can be paid by fee envelope at the entrance station or by using Park Pass online. Private parks use their own systems. Nine Mile Ranch, Legacy Inn and RV Park, and Buckhorn RV Park and Resort each take direct bookings by phone or through their own websites. Summer weekends, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day sell out first at the state parks. Booking as soon as the four-month window opens is the safest approach for a specific site.
