We've stayed at Watchman. Nice campground and within walking distance of the park shuttle buses. You can make reservations online.RedSonia29 said:Have a great time! My husband and I plan to travel there to break in our new trailer late this month. Here are a few popular RV campgrounds to stay near Zion National Park.
The mountain passes on 50 are all gentle. The scenery is much more beautiful than 80. However you won't be able to drive as fast on 50 so the mileage savings will result in a slower but more beautiful trip. Very few cops patrol 50 since very few drivers use 50.elevy said:Thank you all for responding. Now thinking of going to Torrey (Capitol Reef National Park) first and then Moab from Sacramento area. I have a 34 foot gas motorhome with a toad. I am looking at route 50 through Nevada and Utah vs. I80 and I15. It is an extra 120 miles on the interstates but the mountain passes on route 50 concern me. I am from the east coast and used to flat I95. Any thoughts? Thanks.

To echo what Ardra said, cell service is spotty in this part of the country. I use AT&T and found that people with Verizon were having less issues in places like this as well as near Glacier Nat Park.ArdraF said:Also, 50 is called the Loneliest Road in America so make sure you have plenty of fuel and water. Cell service also is spotty if at all. Did I say it's remote??

Highway 50 to I-70 to Hwy 191. Just be sure to check the fire forecasts before head g out in late summer or early fall, just in case. There have been road closures along Hwy 6 and Hwy 89 north of there.elevy said:Any suggestions on driving from Great Basin National Park to Capitol Reef National Park?
