At Hayes Canyon Campground we have 35 RV campsites available for rent for a day, weekend, week, or longer!

All RV sites have 30A electric hookups and city water.  Most (32) have sewer hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings also.

Campsites have 2-4 pens for your horses or mules.  Peace of mind and convenience of having your horse right there within eyesight.  No lugging tack and feed back and forth to a remote barn area.  [some sites have covered pens for an additional charge, see below for details]

When packing for your trip, include extra electric cord, water hose, and septic hose.  Due to the many trees on the sites your electric/water supply post or septic stub may be up to 30 feet from your parking pad.  Don't forget a manure fork to clean pens (put in wheeled cart provided right at your campsite, and we will empty daily).
