The Great Outdoors

When you’re camping with one of the RV rentals in Sevier County, one of the first places you’ll want to visit is Fremont Indian State Park. This state park allows visitors to learn about national history while enjoying the great outdoors. Along with a large museum of exhibitions dedicated to the Native American Indians who once resided in the region, the park hosts petroglyph cliffs and original cave dwellings. You can start your visit with a picnic in the day-use area before hitting the trails or bring a telescope for some nighttime stargazing.Another place you’ll want to take your RV rental is Yuba State Park. This is one of the few places where you’ll find warm water for swimming in Utah. Yuba State Park offers sandy beaches and picnic areas on the edges of the Sevier Bridge Reservoir. Within the park, you can rent canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards, or go waterskiing with a motorized vessel. There are scenic walking trails around the edge of the reservoir and snowmobiling trails during the winter season. There’s even a zip line for the bravest of visitors.Less than an hour's drive south of Richfield KOA is Piute State Park. Set between old-growth forests, interesting rock formations, and the rugged Utah Hills, Piute is a natural paradise for outdoor lovers. Surrounding the lake is a series of well-marked and mostly flat trails which are suitable for hikers and mountain bikers. More adventurous visitors can hop onto longer and more challenging trails or trailblaze a route into the mountains. Alternatively, you can stay close to the park's sandy beach and picnic areas for a relaxing day in the fresh mountain air.A highlight for adrenaline seekers will certainly be the Paiute ATV Trail which covers over 900 miles of south-central Utah. One of the largest off-roading trail networks in the USA, driving sections of the Paiute ATV Trail is a fantastic way to get to know the surrounding area while you’re camping at Richfield KOA. The network is made up of a number of former roads and trails which pass through rural towns and stunning countrysides. It also traverses Fishlake National Forest, and you can join the trail network from Fremont State Park or Piute State Park while you’re on vacation with a Richfield camper rental.

Explore the Area

Along with recreational activities, Sevier County also hosts a number of historical and cultural sites. One of these is Territorial Statehouse State Park Museum in Fillmore. The museum is housed inside of Utah’s oldest government building, the same building that hosted the Meeting of the Territorial Legislature in 1855. The museum hosts historical exhibitions as well as an eclectic bookstore and gift shop. After learning about the heritage of the region, visitors can take a stroll around the adjoining garden or share a picnic in the day-use area.Another unique attraction that you can visit while camping with an RV is Cove Fort Historic Site, which dates back to the mid-1800s. Constructed from lava rock by early settlers and pioneers, Cove Fort served as a safe house and resting point for weary travelers who arrived in the area from Salt Valley via Cove Creek. Just outside of Cove Fort, you can see the restored log cabin that the Hinckley Family once lived in. Inside you’ll be able to learn all about the lives and faith of this family as well as their dedication to the guests who stayed there. Other points of interest include a bunkhouse, barn, and blacksmith shop. You head out with your travel companions for a walk around the gardens of Cove Fort before the end of your vacation with an RV rental near Richfield KOA.
