The best RV rentals in Utah

Whether you're looking to drive quickly across the state or take a relaxing trip down country roads, Utah has you covered. I-15 is the fastest way to travel in Utah, running the length of the state from St George all the way up to Logan. Secondary roads like Highway 6 and 89 take a less direct route from city to city but will provide you and your crew with better scenery during your drive.

Anyone who wants to learn about Utah's culture and history will want to make a trip to Temple Square in Salt Lake City. As the headquarters of The Church of the Jesus Christ and the Latter-day Saints, Temple Square is home to the Salt Lake Temple, the most important religious building in Utah. Visitors who aren't part of the Mormon Church aren't allowed to enter the Salt Lake Temple; however, you're welcome to have lunch in the Joseph Smith Memorial Center and take a tour of the Museum of Church History and Art. Temple Square is located in the heart of Salt Lake City, so you'll find some of the best RV parks in Utah nearby.

One of the most popular outdoor activities in Utah is skiing, and one of the best places for winter sports is Park City Mountain Resort. Situated 30 miles from the state capital, Park City Mountain Resort is among the largest ski resorts in the US, comprising over 7,300 acres of snow-covered mountains. The resort is also superb for year-round fun, with over 400 miles of hiking and biking trails, as well as scenic chairlifts offering sweeping views of the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains. As mentioned, you'll be just 30 miles from Salt Lake City if you're planning a day trip, and there's also the Park City RV Resort if you want to spend the night.

Campers traveling across Utah with their family in tow may want to swing by Lagoon Amusement Park. Adrenaline junkies are sure to love Utah's premier theme park, with ten roller coasters, including Wicked, one of the oldest roller coasters in the world. Another highlight is the Cannibal coaster which features a 116° drop that ranks among the world’s steepest. Looking for a break between rides? Grab a refreshment at the beer garden, sit down for lunch at one of several restaurants, or catch a live show. Lagoon Amusement Park is just 20 minutes north of Salt Lake City, and the park operates Lagoon's RV Park and Campground in case you want to camp close to the action.

During your Utah motorhome rental, you'll definitely want to check out a few of the state's "Mighty 5" national parks. Perhaps the best national park in Utah is Zion National Park. Encompassing nearly 150,000 acres of breathtaking mountains, canyons, and deserts, Zion National Park's centerpiece is Zion Canyon, a narrow gorge complete with red rock walls and the winding Virgin River. While visiting the park, take a hike through the Kolob Canyons, or go kayaking down The Narrows. Zion National Park is known for its clear night skies; you may even catch a glimpse of the Milky Way from your camper. You'll find two primitive campgrounds at the national park, in case you want to spend a night under the stars. St George is also less than an hour away and is near some of Utah’s best campgrounds, like WillowWind RV Park and McArthur's Temple View RV Resort.

Another one of the "Mighty 5" well worth a road trip is Arches National Park. Perched on the eastern edge of Utah, Arches National Park is renowned for its amazing red rock formations, including around 2,000 natural stone arches. During your visit, hike up to the park's most famous rock formation, the Delicate Arch, and enjoy panoramas of the La Sal Mountains in the backdrop. While hiking through the park, keep an eye out for some of the park's unusual wildlife, including kangaroo rats, porcupines, and antelope squirrels. There's a lone primitive campground at Arches National Park if you want to camp nearby. You'll also find several modern campgrounds in the city of Moab, just 5 miles from the park entrance.

Prefer to explore the countryside of Northern Utah? Plan a trip to the Uinta–Wasatch–Cache National Forest. This vast forest stretches across north-central Utah, spilling over into Idaho and Wyoming. Highlights at the park include the beautiful Uinta Mountains and over a million acres of lush woodlands. Trek up a mountainside on over 1,700 miles of trails, catch dinner near one of the many rivers and lakes, or grab some binoculars and watch out for elk, bighorn sheep, and bald eagles. There are several RV-friendly campgrounds across this 2.5 million-acre park, and you'll also be just 20 minutes from Salt Lake City.
