Miller's Knoll

Miller’s Knoll is a small, horse-focused campground tucked into 50 quiet acres just outside of Panguitch, Utah. This is more of a private, low-key place built specifically with horse campers in mind. The property has wide-open views of Panguitch Valley, and the overall feel is peaceful and uncrowded.

What makes it stand out is how well it works as a basecamp for riding the Bryce Canyon area. You’re within easy trailering distance of several well-known trail systems, so you can stay in one place and still access a variety of rides.

Getting into Miller’s Knoll is easy and trailer-friendly. It’s close to Panguitch, so you’re not dealing with long, rough backroad approaches or tight mountain access. Larger rigs and longer trailers should be able to get in without much trouble.

From camp, most of the riding requires trailering. Key trailheads like Thunder Mountain, Casto Canyon, and Losee Canyon are all within roughly 15–30 minutes. Bryce Canyon National Park is about 20–25 minutes away depending on where you’re headed.

This is where Miller’s Knoll really shines. It’s clearly set up for horse people first.

You’ve got multiple options for keeping horses, including 5 indoor stalls and outdoor pens. Having both covered and open options is a big plus, especially if weather rolls in.

The campground itself offers a small number of full-hookup RV sites, with some longer pull-throughs that can handle truck and trailer setups comfortably.

Most riders use this as a base and trailer out to different trail systems each day. It works especially well if you want better horse accommodations than some of the larger local places and without the crowds or chaos.

Miller’s Knoll is a smaller, more private operation, so it fills up quickly during peak riding season. Planning ahead and contacting them directly is a good idea if you have specific dates in mind.

Miller's Knoll - This isn't a traditional campground in the general sense. The main structure is a barndominium. The owners live upstairs while the 5 large indoor stalls are underneath. Upstairs - using a separate entrance - is the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment available to rent. It is furnished nicely and has a full kitchen.

The LQ sites sit around the "house" and only a couple have grassy areas. There are also outdoor pens and a round pen for turnout. There are great views of the Grand Staircase Escalante from camp. It's also close to the town of Panguitch and not too far from all of the iconic rides in the Bryce area.

Because you’ll be trailering to most rides, it’s best suited for riders who are comfortable hauling out daily rather than expecting to ride directly from camp. There are also trailers available to rent if needed.

One thing we really like about this location is how close it is to Panguitch. It’s a small town, but it has some fun places to grab a good meal and walk around a bit. It’s nice knowing your horses are safe and settled while you take a break and enjoy a little bit of the local flavor.

We’ve stayed at a couple places in the area, and this is by far our favorite. The owners are fantastic and really add to the overall experience.
