About
Wahweap Campground & RV Park is the primary developed campground at Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, operated by Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas (an Aramark concessionaire). Located just a quarter mile from Lake Powell's shoreline, the campground provides convenient access to water sports, boating, and the swim beach area. The facility encompasses 287 total sites across multiple loops: 139 full hookup sites (Loops A, B, C, D, F) with 30 and 50 amp electric service, water, and sewer; 112 dry sites (Loops 2, 3, 4) for tents or self-contained RVs; 36 tent-only sites (Loop 1) including 9 walk-in sites; and 6 group sites (Loop G) accommodating 9-25 people. The campground offers comprehensive amenities including centrally located flush restrooms, coin-operated hot showers (three tokens per reservation per day included), laundry facilities, dump station, potable water, picnic tables, fire rings/grills, and an on-site camp store with convenience items and gift shop. An amphitheater hosts seasonal programs. All sites and pathways are paved and mostly flat with ADA-compliant facilities. The campground can accommodate RVs up to 70 feet, though sites over 45 feet are very limited. Some double-wide spaces are available, and all sites allow two vehicles maximum. WiFi is available though connectivity varies due to the remote location. Pets are allowed on leash. The surrounding area provides access to Lake Powell Resort dining and shopping, boat launches, and spectacular red rock desert scenery. A $30 Glen Canyon National Recreation Area entrance fee (valid for 7 days) is required in addition to camping fees.
