RV Parks In Richfield, Utah
38.7725° N, 112.0841° W
Quick Overview
Richfield is one of the most useful RV stops in central Utah, and if you're running I-70 across the state you'll be glad it's here. Sitting at about 5,900 feet in the Sevier Valley right on the interstate at Exit 40, it's the largest full-service town for a long way in either direction, and it doubles as an affordable basecamp for red-rock country. The RV camping here is mostly private and mostly full-hookup, which is exactly what you want after a day on the highway. The three main parks all sit close to the interstate and cover the essentials: power, water, sewer, showers, and a dump station.
Your easiest options are Venture RV Park, right off I-70 with full hookups, hot showers, laundry, pickleball, and an ATV wash that hints at the local off-road scene, and the Richfield KOA Holiday, two miles up Main Street from Exit 40 with full-hookup pull-throughs, open roughly March through October. Flying U RV Park is a simpler pet-friendly full-hookup stop with fire pits and picnic tables. For a cooler, wilder night, the Fishlake National Forest campgrounds up near Fish Lake, about an hour east, offer basic public sites among the aspens, so you get a real public-versus-private choice depending on whether you want convenience or mountain quiet.
What makes Richfield punch above its weight is location. Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon are both under two hours away, Fremont Indian State Park is 20 minutes off the interstate, and the Fishlake forest, the Paiute ATV Trail, and the famous Pando aspen clone are all close. It's also the last full-service town before a long, empty stretch of I-70 to the east, so a lot of RVers plan a night here whether they meant to or not. We think it earns a real stop, not just a fuel-and-go. Below we cover hookups, reservations, seasons, and costs so you can pick the right site.

Richfield is as easy to reach as central Utah gets. I-70 runs right through town at Exit 40, and I-15 connects about 30 miles west at Cove Fort, so you can roll in from Denver, Las Vegas, or Salt Lake without any tricky routing. US-89 runs north and south along the Sevier River for a slower scenic alternative, and UT-118 links the nearby valley towns. There are no unusual big-rig restrictions, just standard high-desert grades, and the parks all sit within a couple miles of the interstate.
The single most important travel note: Richfield is the last major services town before the long, remote stretch of I-70 heading east toward Green River, one of the emptiest interstate segments in the country. Fuel up, provision, and empty tanks here before you commit to it. The town has full grocery, retail, propane, and RV service and parts, making it the regional hub for miles. For trip planning toward the parks and forest, the Fishlake National Forest and NPS sites have current road and campground conditions. Take the mountain roads toward Fish Lake slowly in a long rig.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Richfield, Utah, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.
Check your RV insurance coverage
A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.
Know your roadside assistance options
RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.
Decide about an extended warranty early
Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.
Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees
A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Richfield
Richfield is a value stop, which is a big part of its appeal. The private full-hookup parks, Venture RV Park, the Richfield KOA, and Flying U RV Park, price in the moderate range typical of an interstate service town, well below what you'd pay in a national-park gateway like Torrey or Bryce Canyon City. That gap is the whole strategy: camp here on full hookups and day-trip to Capitol Reef and Bryce, both under two hours out, instead of paying premium gateway rates for a tighter site. Expect the KOA to sit at the upper end for its amenities and pull-throughs, with Flying U as the simpler budget pick. The Fishlake National Forest campgrounds near Fish Lake are cheaper still, booked through Recreation.gov at standard federal rates, since they're basic public sites without full hookups. Dispersed camping on surrounding forest and BLM land is free for self-contained rigs. Add fuel, and buy it here before the remote I-70 run east, and stock groceries in town since prices climb once you're out in the parks and small gateway communities.

Explore the Richfield Area
Treat Richfield as a basecamp, not just a fuel stop. Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon are both under two hours away, so you can camp here at a fraction of gateway-town prices and day-trip to the parks. Venture RV Park and the Richfield KOA are the two most convenient full-hookup stops right off I-70, and either one makes a comfortable, level base with showers and laundry after long park days. Fremont Indian State Park, only about 20 minutes southwest off the interstate, is an easy half-day trip to see Utah's largest Fremont village site and its rock art.
Pack for high-desert swings. At 5,900 feet the days can hit 90 in summer while nights drop into the 50s, so bring layers even in July. If you want cooler air, head up to the Fishlake National Forest near Fish Lake for aspen-shaded camping, but expect basic sites and genuinely cold nights at altitude. The area is big for ATV and UTV riders thanks to the 275-mile Paiute Trail, which is why Venture even has a machine wash. And don't skip Pando, the enormous single-organism aspen clone in the forest east of town.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Richfield
What are the best RV parks in Richfield, Utah?
The three main private parks all sit near I-70 and offer full hookups. Venture RV Park is right off the interstate with hot showers, laundry, pickleball, and an ATV wash, and easy access toward Fishlake National Forest. The Richfield KOA Holiday is two miles up Main Street from Exit 40 with full-hookup pull-throughs, open roughly March through October. Flying U RV Park is a simpler, pet-friendly full-hookup stop with fire pits and picnic tables. For cooler mountain camping, the Fishlake National Forest campgrounds near Fish Lake offer basic public sites about an hour east.
Do RV parks in Richfield have full hookups?
Yes. Richfield's private parks are built for full-hookup RV travel, which makes it a reliable I-70 overnight. Venture RV Park, the Richfield KOA, and Flying U RV Park all provide full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service, water, and sewer, plus dump stations. That's exactly what you want after a long highway day. The public alternative, the Fishlake National Forest campgrounds up near Fish Lake, offers basic or partial-hookup sites without full service, since national-forest campgrounds typically lack sewer. For full hookups near the interstate, stick with the three private parks in town.
How much does RV camping cost in Richfield, Utah?
Richfield is a value stop. The private full-hookup parks price in the moderate range typical of an interstate service town, well below national-park gateway towns like Torrey or Bryce Canyon City. The KOA sits at the upper end for its amenities and pull-throughs, while Flying U is the simpler budget pick. The Fishlake forest campgrounds near Fish Lake are cheaper, booked through Recreation.gov at standard federal rates without full hookups, and dispersed forest and BLM camping nearby is free for self-contained rigs. Buy fuel and groceries here, since both cost more once you reach the parks.
How far ahead should I reserve an RV site in Richfield?
For summer, which is peak national-park season, reserve the full-hookup parks ahead, especially on weekends, since Richfield fills with travelers using it as a Capitol Reef and Bryce basecamp. A few weeks of lead time is smart for July and August. Spring and fall are much easier, and winter sees most parks closed anyway. The Fishlake National Forest campgrounds near Fish Lake book through Recreation.gov and fill on summer weekends, so plan ahead there too. Midweek arrivals give you good odds at the town parks even in peak season.
When is the best time to go RV camping in Richfield?
Late spring through fall is the window. Summer is peak, ideal as a national-park basecamp, with hot days and cool nights thanks to the 5,900-foot elevation, though it's the busiest and priciest time. Fall is our favorite for value, with crisp, dry weather and beautiful aspen color in the Fishlake forest, and parks still open into October. Spring is a quieter shoulder season as parks reopen around March and April. Winter brings real snow and closes the KOA and most parks, though nearby mountains offer snow recreation for the prepared.
Can big rigs camp in Richfield, Utah?
Yes, easily. The private parks in Richfield are set up for big rigs, with the KOA and Venture RV Park offering full-hookup pull-through sites that suit long coaches and towing setups, plus level ground and easy interstate access. The approach on I-70 has no unusual restrictions, just standard high-desert grades. This makes Richfield a comfortable big-rig overnight compared to tighter national-park gateway campgrounds. The one place to slow down is the mountain road up toward Fish Lake, which is narrower and climbs in elevation, so take a long rig up carefully if you head into the forest.
Are there free or first-come camping options near Richfield?
Yes. Dispersed camping is available on the surrounding Fishlake National Forest and BLM lands under agency rules, which gives self-contained rigs free, no-hookup options in the high desert and mountains around town. Follow leave-no-trace and any stay-limit or fire restrictions, and check with the local ranger district for current conditions. The developed Fishlake forest campgrounds near Fish Lake have some first-come sites, though many are reservable on Recreation.gov and fill in summer. For full hookups, though, you'll want one of the private parks in town rather than free camping.
Is Richfield a good base for Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon?
It's one of the best value bases in the region. Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon are both under two hours from Richfield, so you can camp here on full hookups at moderate interstate-town prices and day-trip to either park, instead of paying premium rates in the smaller gateway towns. You get level sites, showers, laundry, groceries, fuel, and RV service in one place, then head out to the red rock for the day. Fremont Indian State Park is even closer, about 20 minutes southwest off I-70, making an easy half-day add-on.
Is there a dump station near Richfield for RVs?
Yes. The private RV parks in Richfield, including Venture RV Park, the Richfield KOA, and Flying U RV Park, all have dump stations and full-hookup sewer sites, so you can service the rig whether you're staying or passing through. Since Richfield is the last full-service town before the long remote I-70 stretch east toward Green River, it's the smart place to empty tanks and top off water before that run. Need to empty your tanks here? Look for RV dump stations in Richfield at the private parks along Main Street and near the I-70 exits.
What is there to do near Richfield while camping?
A lot for a small town. Fremont Indian State Park, about 20 minutes off I-70, protects Utah's largest known Fremont village with petroglyphs and a museum. The Fishlake National Forest east of town has a mountain lake, aspen groves, and Pando, one of the largest living organisms on earth, a single clonal aspen stand. The 275-mile Paiute ATV Trail draws off-road riders. And Richfield works as a basecamp for Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon national parks, both under two hours away. Between rock art, forest, trails, and parks, you can fill several days.
Are Richfield RV parks open in winter?
Some are, but many are not. The Richfield KOA runs a seasonal schedule of roughly March through October and closes in winter, and several other parks follow a similar season, since central Utah winters bring real cold and snow at 5,900 feet, with lows around 18F. A few parks may stay open year-round for travelers on I-70, so call ahead in the off-season to confirm. The nearby mountains offer snow recreation for the prepared, but if you're passing through in winter, verify your park is open before counting on a hookup site.
What RV services are available in Richfield, Utah?
Richfield is the regional hub for central Utah, so services are strong for its size. You'll find full grocery and retail, propane at the RV parks and suppliers, and RV service and parts in town, which is rare out here. Full fuel and truck services sit at the I-70 exits. Potable water is available at the parks, and full hookups are the norm. Because Richfield is the last major services town before the long remote I-70 stretch east, it's the right place to fuel, provision, refill propane, and handle any RV repairs before heading on.
