Kanarraville, Utah Campgrounds and RV Parks

Located in Iron County, Utah, adjacent to the southwest terminus of Cedar Valley, the Kanarraville RV parks and campgrounds are among the most popular in the southern half of the state.

Frontier Homestead State Historic Park is located north of Kanarraville in Cedar City, Utah and Kanarra Creek Trail is a favorite among visitors and locals alike. There is also the Cedar Breaks National Monument that provides many outdoor activities. All three are sites you cannot miss. The Homestead museum was opened to the public in 1980, when the area still had its original name, Iron Mission State Park, because of the attempts of Mormon settlers to create an iron industry here. The park offers activities such as boating, water sports, mountain biking, hiking, OHV riding, fishing, golf and camping. Kanarra Creek Trail and Kanarraville Falls is a very rewarding hike that takes you up a canyon just east of the town. This is a water hike and cannot be completed without getting wet. The trail crosses Kanarra Creek many times and eventually enters a slot canyon where you have no choice but to enter the 3-8 inches of water so you can see the falls. (It’s worth getting wet.)
