RV Rentals Echo State Park
Echo State Park, UT, United States
How to get to Echo State Park
The park is easily reached via Interstate 80, exiting near Coalville (Exit 162) about 45 miles (roughly 45 to 55 minutes) east of Salt Lake City and about 20 miles (around 25 minutes) north of Park City. RV drivers should note that I-80 climbs steadily from Salt Lake City over Parleys Summit at about 7,000 feet, which can mean slow going for larger rigs and winter chain or traction-tire restrictions in snow. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), with a typical drive of under an hour in good conditions. There are no tight tunnels or low clearances on the main approach, but side roads around the reservoir can be narrow, so stick to the signed park entrances.
Best time to visit Echo State Park
Late May through early September is the prime window, when reservoir water levels are high, daytime temperatures are warm enough for swimming and boating, and nights are comfortably cool at roughly 5,500 feet of elevation. July and August bring the busiest weekends, so RV renters should book sites well in advance. Shoulder months like May, September, and early October offer quieter camping, good fishing, and crisp mornings, though weather can turn quickly. Winter visits are limited by snow and cold, with facilities scaled back and the reservoir often partially frozen.

Things to do at Echo State Park
- Boating on Echo Reservoir EasyRV parking available
Echo Reservoir offers open water for motorboating, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and jet skiing from late spring through early fall. Concrete ramps near the main day-use areas provide direct access for trailered boats, with paved lots suitable for tow vehicles and RVs.
- Fishing Echo Reservoir EasyRV parking available
Echo Reservoir is a popular year-round fishery stocked with rainbow trout, brown trout, yellow perch, and smallmouth bass. Anglers fish from boats in summer and from the ice in midwinter, with a valid Utah fishing license required.
- Paddleboarding and Kayaking EasyRV parking available
Calm mornings on the reservoir are ideal for stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and canoeing. Sheltered coves along the shoreline make it a beginner-friendly spot to explore on flatwater.
- Swimming and Beach Day Use EasyRV parking available
Sandy and pebbled beach areas line parts of the reservoir and are used for swimming, wading, and picnicking in summer. There are no lifeguards, so supervise children and watch for changing water levels.
- Shoreline and Dispersed CampingRV parking available
The park is known for relaxed shoreline camping where RVers can set up near the water. Sites vary from developed campground loops to more rustic dispersed pullouts, so check the Utah State Parks site for current site types and lengths. stateparks.utah.gov
- Echo Canyon Scenic Drive Easy
Just east of the park, Echo Canyon Road parallels I-80 through a historic corridor used by the Pony Express, California Trail, and Mormon Pioneer Trail. Interpretive pullouts mark sites including the Weber Station area, offering an easy side trip by tow vehicle or smaller RV.
- Day Trip to Park City
Park City is roughly 20 miles south of the reservoir and makes an easy afternoon excursion. Historic Main Street, mountain biking trails, and the Utah Olympic Park are all reachable without moving the RV.
- Ice Fishing in WinterRV parking available
When the reservoir freezes in midwinter, Echo becomes a local favorite for ice fishing for perch and trout. Day-use access is typical in this season, as most camping facilities are closed.

Great communication and extremely accommodating! Highly recommend !

We enjoyed our stay in this camper! We did a tour SLC - Page - Monument Valley - Arches in three days and this RV was up for the job. It is a bit older model, quite some engine/wind noise while on the road, so our third party member sometimes felt a bit left out sitting in the back. But sleeping comfort was great and it is just the right size to be able to access a diverse range of campgrounds. Also good contact with the owner! Responds to questions very fast and provides an elaborate briefing. Thank you for letting us stay in your RV!

Kiesha and Dan were some of the best hosts I’ve ever met when traveling. This was our first ever rv camping experience but they made it super easy and comfortable. They set the bar high for us, especially the communication. They would respond immediately and accurately whenever we needed anything and we really appreciated that. The van was everything in the description if not more. It’s very spacious yet cozy, perfect for a family trip. It is also easy to maneuver, the sensors and cameras really added to it as well. Dan的中文非常流利！我非常欣赏！尤其我父母这次来玩英文也不是特别好，Dan的中文instructions让这次旅途更加轻松。房车的操作也非常简单，我们特别喜欢！

Our family of four had a fantastic week in Kiesha’s Solis exploring Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. The RV made camping a dream! It was well-stocked with everything we needed, easy to operate, and fit us all comfortably. Kiesha and Dan were super helpful and accommodating, available to answer questions and offer suggestions for the journey. As first time RV-ers, we’ve been converted!
