This was a ride through some pretty outstanding sights. Plenty of colorful and towering buttes. Some of the drive was through campsites but the roads were paved. Full review by Connie E

Wow! Almost missed this. On a visit to the big park where we passed on a hike because there were too many people. A local suggested this place. Great picnic table area, clean bathroom, but the prize … Full review by TheUtahMom

Spectacular views driving to the park and the park has pipes that are unique to this park. It is just a short drive out of Bryce Canyon City. Full review by jkcf44
Have been there in the summer..looking to return in February. How was the road conditions and diving during this time? Thanks

Road conditions and driving to Kodachrome from 12 were fine in early June 2021. Cottonwood Canyon Road South from 12 to park is paved. We had driven north on Cottonwood …
Road conditions and driving to Kodachrome from 12 were fine in early June 2021. Cottonwood Canyon Road South from 12 to park is paved. We had driven north on Cottonwood Canyon from Kanab area. This is unpaved. That would require at least an SUV. We hit rocks on road. Even after dry winter, one significant water crossing just south of park road. We did fine, but saw a regular sedan just turn around and give up. No experience with area in Feb.
Looking for good view car camping tent site recommendations for Kodachrome Basin State Park, UT in July 2019. Thanks!
A:
I would have a look at Basin Campground and Oasis Group Campground at the top of the park. They have more of the mountain/canyon views. The other two campgrounds near …
I would have a look at Basin Campground and Oasis Group Campground at the top of the park. They have more of the mountain/canyon views. The other two campgrounds near the park entrance to the east has some hoodoos in the area. Not sure if they are very near those camp grounds though. You may need to do a small hike.
Are the pipes easily visible from the roads or must one hike?
A:
You can see several different pipes from your car. We drove the roads in the park and took pictures. That day it was very hot, so we barely even got out.
We will be driving along Hwy 12 in October from Capitol Reef to Zion. We were at Bryce many years ago. Should we either take a short side trip to Kodachrome Basin or one to Bryce?
A:
Of course Kodakchrome is not as spectacular as Bryce. A State Park cons National Park. It's beautiful , not crowded, smaller with very nice hikes. I recommend Shakeaspere Arch.
