About

Escalante Grand Resort sits on West Main Street in Escalante, Utah — the main gateway town for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and a key stop on Scenic Byway 12. The resort is directly across from the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center, making it easy to get maps, permits, and trail conditions before heading out. Bryce Canyon National Park is about 45 miles northwest, roughly a 50-minute drive.

Accommodations

The property spans multiple formats: cabins and vacation rental homes with private bathrooms, some with full kitchens or kitchenettes, plus tent sites and RV sites with 30/50-amp full hookups including water and sewer. Standout vacation rental options include the Little Dipper Casita and Big Dipper homes. All guests have access to free Wi-Fi. An on-site coffee shop and spa — featuring an infrared sauna and foot baths — adds a comfort layer unusual for a campground-style property.

On-Site Amenities

Clubhouse with check-in, small gift store, and game room
Coin-op laundry facilities
Playground and large sandbox area for kids
Fireside seating areas and picnic tables

Location and Access

Escalante's position on Byway 12 puts the resort within easy reach of Calf Creek Falls (about 15 miles east), Hole-In-The-Rock Road, and the Escalante River canyon system. The town has a grocery store and several restaurants, so resupply is straightforward after days spent in the backcountry.

Terrible AC. Problems with toilet. The pictures of this room had a desk that I was supposed to use in order to work on my laptop. That is why I choose this place. When we got there they had 4x beds instead….

Our host was fantastic. There are tent, camper, van life sites and fully furnished cabins. We stayed end of June and hadn’t reserved anything, but there were a few cabins available. VERY comfortable beds, plenty of linens and towels, shampoo/conditioner/ body wash in our private bath. Very CLEAN! AC and heat, fridge/freezer and microwave. Laundry facilities, playground, dog washing on site. Highly recommend in Escalante!

Found this on Google randomly when we got stuck in the area during extremely high winds. We didn't want a second night of our tent almost collapsing on us, so we booked a last minute cabin. We would have been so grateful for just bare bones accommodations, but what we found was so much more awesome! Lynn was so welcoming and extremely helpful with places to eat, etc. The cabin had everything you could need and was clean and secure and also just a darling experience. The whole place is so gosh dang cute. Bed was comfy and clean. Fire pit outside is an awesome addition even though we couldn't use it due to fire restrictions. Free drip coffee in the morning was so good that I didn't even want a latte - though they do have a full service espresso bar available on site! You'll also find cute postcards, tumbled rocks, maps of the area, local geological facts and stuff. You can hang out in the reception/coffee area, which had seating and outlets. They have laundry downstairs (we didn't check it out though). And the whole property has free wifi! There are SO many amenities here for dogs as well!! I wish we had ours, but they hate going on the road, so we didn't get to take advantage of the dog park, wash station, or in-room pet blankets. On top of their cabins/casita, they also have tent sites and RV and van sites. One of the absolute best stops we've ever made on the road! Don't forget to hang out with Debbie (meow).

I stayed at the Little Dipper House; it's in a very quiet location and super clean!
