Lake Powell, Utah – by Land and Sea — 8 Comments

  1. Greg:
    Arrive before April and it’s free with generally only 15-20 RVs. The NP CG over in AZ is open we go there to dump and tank up. The wind can boil up something awful though.

    • John ‘n Mary,
      Good tip. I don’t think we’ve ever been around there that time of year.
      But honestly, $7/night isn’t very steep, and even with the beach-front crowds, we had a huge patch of land all to ourselves. As far as I can tell, the only time of year that’s not so great is when it’s super hot.

  2. Nice post! What a nice pictures too. Such a cute couple living such a great life. I wonder how is the weather, I would like this camping style very much, it is what I want but I need comfort or cold I can’t take being warm, if so I need the a/c, this is for medical reasons. I’m a new rver trying to learn. I guess we can not turn the generator on? It is noice. Can anyone tell me how is the weather?

    • Grissel,
      The weather at Page is hot in summer and chilly in winter. Yes, A/C is noisy, not to mention having to use the generator to power it. We dislike the noise, so we travel to where the weather is not so hot. Also, we don’t travel away from coastal California much in the summer.

      In general, to avoid the heat, a lot of people travel to the high mountains. At 6000-7000 feet, daytime temperatures rarely get over 90F.

  3. Greg…great post once again. If you have the opportunity, visit the slower side of Lake Powell at Bullfrog, UT. Same beautiful views and lakeside camping but you have to earn the trip. It’s about 200 miles from a big city. We spent a week at Stanton Creek Campground just to the left when you enter the park. It’s a bumpy high clearance vehicle road but you can camp next to the lake. There are also portable toilets, but no showers. Beware if you camp right next to the lake in the spring. The lake’s level can rise a couple of inches a day. We visited two weeks before Memorial Day and pretty much had the campground and lake to ourselves. And…when in Utah, make sure you pack in sufficient quantities of your favorite adult beverages. Liquor stores are few and far between, and choice is limited.

    • I haven’t yet gotten to Bullfrog by land. Been there a LONG time ago on the water. I think we’ll head that way next time around.

      With Howie (15,000 pounds), we’re always VERY careful where we park. Weather can make for too much excitement, so we’re pretty conservative.

    • Yep it’s always wonderful to stay right at the water’s edge. But actually here at Lone Rock, right at the water’s edge is jammed up like sardines, so we were about 200 yards back, and that was still just fine.
