Federal · Lake Powell · Arizona
Wahweap RV & Campground is the Aramark-run campground inside Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, perched on a hillside above Wahweap Bay on Lake Powell about 20 minutes north of Page, Arizona. It is really two campgrounds on one slope: a full-hookup RV park section on paved pads and a separate dry campground of gravel sites, many of them level pull-throughs. It suits RVers running the Page bucket list, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the dam, who want to wake up looking at the lake instead of a parking lot in town.

Wahweap RV & Campground is the Aramark-run campground inside Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, perched on a hillside above Wahweap Bay on Lake Powell about 20 minutes north of Page, Arizona. It is really two campgrounds on one slope: a full-hookup RV park section on paved pads and a separate dry campground of gravel sites, many of them level pull-throughs. It suits RVers running the Page bucket list, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the dam, who want to wake up looking at the lake instead of a parking lot in town.
Full-hookup sites run close to $100 a night in peak season and dry sites around $30, both plus a $4.99 nightly resort fee and the separate $30 Glen Canyon entrance fee. Rigs up to about 45 feet fit comfortably with wide roads and generous spacing, and only a handful of sites take longer combinations. It is open year-round and books through lakepowell.com or 800-528-6154, not Recreation.gov; spring-through-fall weekends fill months ahead. The trade-offs are exposed desert with almost no shade, real wind, aging pads and spotty cell service, and boat launching is currently limited to the Stateline Auxiliary ramp with the main ramp closed to motorized craft.

Wahweap RV Park & Campground Review: Lake Powell's Front PorchAn honest review of Wahweap RV Park & Campground at Lake Powell — full-hookup sites near $100/night, dry camping around $30, lake views, and what the current water levels actually mean for your trip.
Our verdict
Book Wahweap if you want to wake up over Lake Powell inside Glen Canyon NRA with hookups or a cheap dry site for the Page circuit. Skip it if your trip depends on hassle-free boat launching, bulletproof bandwidth or shade in July.
Yes. The RV park section has water, sewer and electric on paved pads, alongside a separate dry campground with no hookups. Full-hookup sites run close to $100 a night in peak season; dry sites cost around $30.
Roughly $30 for a dry site and close to $100 for a full-hookup site in peak season, plus a $4.99 nightly resort fee. Booking early through lakepowell.com can earn up to 15% off, and the $30 Glen Canyon entrance fee (valid 7 days) is separate.
About 45 feet in the full-hookup section, with a very limited number of sites for anything longer. Reviewers rate it easy to navigate in a big rig, but call ahead if you are pushing 70 feet of truck and trailer.
Antelope Canyon tour staging is about a 20-minute drive and Horseshoe Bend parking is roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Downtown Page is about 20 minutes away.
Effectively yes for the busy season. Book through Aramark at lakepowell.com or 800-528-6154, not Recreation.gov. Spring-through-fall weekends fill months ahead; walk-up space exists mostly in winter and off-peak weeknights.
Yes. Shoulder seasons in April to May and September to October are the most comfortable; summer afternoons on the shadeless hillside regularly top 100 degrees.
