RVs and Vehicles with Trailers

The scenic roads of both the North and South Units of the park can accomodate large recreational vehicles and vehicles with trailers. However, there are sections of the road which are very narrow, have sharp curves, and/or have steep grades. As such, operators of these vehicles must exercise caution while driving in the park. You are sharing the road with other motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and wildlife.

The pull-outs and overlooks along the park roads accomodate most vehicles, but please be aware there is no camping or staying overnight along the park road or at any of the visitor centers (including Painted Canyon). Visitors must stay in a designated camp site at the Cottonwood or Juniper Campgrounds. Both the campgrounds have a variety of back-in and pull-through sites which can accomodate most large vehicles. There is no maximum length, but some sites will work better than others, depending on the size of your vehicle. For more information on the amenities offered at our campgrounds, please check the camping section of our website.

PLEASE NOTE: A section of the South Unit Loop is closed for construction, making the road 22 1/2 miles one way. Large vehicles cannot access the entire scenic drive; please use the diagram above to ensure you are able to view the park safely.
