Discover Gunlock State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
In the late 1960s, the state of Utah realized a need to create irrigation and flood control for the towns downriver - St. George, in particular - and set about to create a reservoir. Upon completion of the dam, the state officially established Gunlock State Park, which borders the reservoir, to foster recreational fun in the area. Gunlock State Park and the nearby town, Gunlock, take their name from the first settler in the area, William “Gunlock Will” Hamblin, who arrived in 1857. In addition to being skilled at repairing gunlocks (muzzleloaders’ firing mechanism), Gunlock Will was a renowned sharpshooter.

Getting Outdoors
Gunlock State Park is an underrated gem overshadowed by nearby Red Cliffs National Conservation Area and Zion National Park. Many locals flock to Gunlock State Park because it’s typically not as crowded even during the peak season. Gunlock State Park cradles Gunlock Reservoir, which sprawls some 266 acres. A small boat ramp invites swimming, boating, and fishing. Bass and catfish fishing is considered excellent, and though the reservoir is not stocked, the fish population is quite robust. Due to an invasive mussel sneaking into Utah, all boats, kayaks, and stand-up-paddleboards included must be decontaminated, and all watercraft owners must have proof of quagga decontamination (aka zebra mussel).
Camping at Gunlock State Park
Skip enduring noisy hotel neighbors and long drives from the closest town when you rent an RV. Sleep in the comforts of a camper rental surrounded by sheer wilderness. RV camp at Gunlock Campground, which is a primitive site. Although there are restrooms with vault toilets, there are no other amenities.
Exploring the Area
As rural and remote as this part of Utah is, there are plenty of activities and sites of note to visit, and traveling to and from each is made easier with the help of a motorhome rental. Get a break from the extreme summer heat at the Pool Resort in Veyo. The pool, fed by a natural spring, was established in 1920 and has been a long-time destination for locals and out-of-towners alike. Pool Resort is also the site of one of the only private rock-climbing walls in Utah.

We absolutely loved this trailer and DJ was a fantastic host. It was perfect for our family camping trip and the delivery option made our experience soooo easy and fun.

Keaton, the owner, was incredibly responsive and kind throughout the entire process. Our family of five fit comfortably in the RV for Memorial Day weekend, with plenty of extra space we could have easily accommodated more if needed. We especially appreciated the added games and DVD player, which kept the kids entertained the whole trip. Everything worked perfectly, and we had no issues at all. We highly recommend this RV.
