These 10 Unique Resorts Have More Than RV Sites

Resorts typically have more amenities than your average RV parks and campgrounds.  While you will usually be paying more per night at resorts, you’ll also have a level site with full hookups and access to all of their facilities like pool, spas, and laundry machines.  These unique places also have something extra for guests during their stay.

1. Shooting Star RV Resort, Utah

Shooting Star RV Resort has an outdoor movie theater with films beginning at sunset throughout the week.  You can reserve one of their 1960s classic cars to watch the movie from, bring your own lawn chair, or sprawl out a picnic blanket on the grass.  To make it a real cinema-like experience, they also have a snack shack with popcorn, candy, and bottles of pop for sale.

The resort borders Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah’s red rock country.  RVers can pick between spacious pull-through sites with full hookups or more secluded spots hidden among sagebrush.  They also have communal firepits across the property, a large pavilion, and a private restroom/shower.

Their Airstream trailers are each uniquely decorated like a dressing trailer from an old Hollywood movie.  Some of their themes include Ann’s Cabana inspired by Ann-Margaret from Viva Las Vegas and Holly’s Hideaway designed to resemble Audrey Hepburn’s trailer while she was filming Breakfast At Tiffany’s.

2. Butterfield RV Resort & Observatory, Arizona

Free star shows with astronomers are offered nightly in Butterfield RV Resort’s observatory. Simply sign up in the front office by adding your name to the list.  If possible, sign up early because they only have seating for 18 people.

They offer full hookup sites with cable TV and access to all of their facilities.  This not only includes the observatory (which houses a state-of-the-art telescope), but also their heated pool, spa, laundry facilities, exercise room, BBQs, pavilion, golf driving cages & putting green, and even a woodshop.
