Spectacular Lake Views, Hikes, And Water Activities Await At This Secluded Arizona RV Park

Located south of the Arizona border and about a quarter of a mile from serene and spectacular Lake Powell, the Wahweap RV and Campground is a full-service, all-season destination with an array of amenities. Open year-round, Wahweap RV and Campground features a range of RV services, lodging, and watercraft rentals. This pet-friendly campground offers 139 sites with full hookups that include 30- and 50-amp service, water, and septic. Have a tent? Wahweap RV and Campground has sites designed for tents-only, tents with RVs, or group tents available. Campground amenities include laundry and shower facilities, Wi-Fi, picnic tables, fire rings/grills, and more. If you're looking for accommodations to stay "down lake," the Lake Powell Resort in the Wahweap Marina has 350 comfortable rooms and suites. 

You'll also find a variety of dining options in the Wahweap Marina, ranging from casual to formal, all with exquisite views of the lake. Just a few miles away is Page, Arizona — considered the gateway to the Southwest — with plenty of restaurants, shopping, rodeo, and more. One thing to note is that the Wahweap RV and Campground is inside the Glen Canyon National Recreation area and requires a $30 entrance fee in addition to the camping charges, but trust us, it is well worth it.

Lake Powell is an artificial body of water along the Colorado River that runs for 186 miles, creating almost 2,000 miles of shoreline for the perfect beach escape. Speaking of the beach, it's just a short walk from Wahweap RV and Campground to the shore, so it's easy to carry everything you need for the day. However, the lake is what attracts visitors to spend their days on the water, although do be careful — it can be quite a dangerous spot. At the Wahweap Marina, you can rent a powerboat, pontoon boat, jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards, and ski tubes, or even go on a guided boat tour to learn more about the history of the lake. For those with big dreams, bring your bunch and rent a houseboat to enjoy all the comforts of home, surrounded by magnificent rock formations.

Lake Powell is known for its popular hiking trails with mountain vistas and desert landscapes. Those looking for a relatively simple hike should head to Navaho Canyon or Rainbow Bridge, where you can see the largest natural bridge made of stone. Another hiking trail is located at Horseshoe Bend, less than 20 minutes from the campground. Take the 1.5-mile round-trip hike and admire the desert terrain along a paved trail. No matter where you hike, be sure to have ample water supplies, sunscreen, and a hat. It is easy to forget these all-important hiking safety rules when surrounded by such magnificence, but it is better to be safe than sunburnt.
