In the heart of Southwest, the Grand Circle region encompasses the largest concentration of national parks, monuments and scenic byways in the country – making it one of the most fascinating camping and road trip destinations in the U.S. Spread out over New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, travelers flock to explore the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde National Park’s cliff dwellings, and other historic destinations along the way.
With RV trips proving to be an affordable and fun travel option in a down economy, more families are turning to the open road for their family vacations. For travelers looking for an active destination, Lake Powell in Arizona’s Glen Canyon Recreation Area is a favorite stop on the Grand Circle journey and the prime place to set up camp after a long day on the road.
Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas, one of America’s favorite houseboating destinations, operates campground and RV park facilities at Wahweap and Bullfrog marinas and Halls Crossing. With the stunning backdrop of Lake Powell’s towering red rock sandstone cliffs, RVers and campers are adjacent to marinas and boat rental offices—close enough to enjoy scenic day cruises on a powerboat, have fun on personal watercraft, enjoy a delicious dinner cruise aboard the Canyon Princess or take a day cruise to Rainbow Bridge, one of the most photographed geological wonders in the American West and a must-see at Lake Powell.

Along with the spectacular views, the campsites feature picnic tables, a charcoal grill and/or a fire ring to cook outside, a resort swimming pool and Jacuzzi, and coin-operated laundry and shower facilities. Guests at the Bull Frog Marina RV Park will have direct access to watercraft rentals, along with the restaurant and gift shop at nearby Defiance House Lodge.

Travelers planning next year’s road trips should mark their calendars for the special centennial commemoration of Rainbow Bridge becoming a national monument in 2010. One of the largest natural bridges in the world, guests can take advantage of special deals surrounding the 100th anniversary, participate in guided tours and/or enjoy scenic half or full-day cruises to Rainbow Bridge.
