Page City Ordinance (Title 12) caps continuous on-street parking at 72 hours and prohibits human habitation of vehicles on public streets. The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area surrounds Page on three sides, and Wahweap Marina (operated by Aramark concession) is the primary RV campground option with 139 full-hookup sites and an additional 250 dry-camp sites.
Lone Rock Beach (just over the Utah border) offers dispersed beach camping with a $14 nightly fee paid at the Glen Canyon NRA entrance. Lake Powell water levels have dropped substantially over the past 20 years due to Colorado River Basin drought — the published lake elevation at the start of every season determines which launch ramps are operational.
Antelope Point Marina is currently the only Page-side ramp with reliable deep-water access; Wahweap, Bullfrog (90 mi N), and Hite (140 mi N) operate per current water-level advisory. The drive across the Glen Canyon Dam bridge on US-89 is one of the most scenic spans in the Southwest and is a no-stopping zone for oversized vehicles. Plan dump and propane at Page or Wahweap, base at Wahweap or Antelope Point, book Antelope Canyon tours 30+ days ahead, and confirm current Lake Powell launch ramp status before relying on any boating plans.

Real local logistics for renters

- Typical nightly rate
- $145–$235
- Best window to visit
- March-May or September-November (mild + fewer crowds). Summer hits 100°F+ but is the only time for Upper Antelope's sunbeams; monsoon Jun 15-Sep 30 brings flash-flood risk — never enter slot canyons with storms anywhere nearby.
U.S. Census Bureau
Flagship: Wahweap RV Park (Glen Canyon NRA)
Class C, host-set
Wahweap RV Park (Glen Canyon NRA): ~90 full-hookup sites (30/50A) on Lake Powell near Wahweap Marina; open year-round; reserve via lakepowell.com
Pickup & fuel: Page has no major RV-rental hub of its own — most renters pick up in Phoenix (~4.5-5.5 hr S) or Flagstaff (~2.5 hr S) and drive up US-89, or fly into Page Municipal (PGA) and meet a local vendor partner. Arizona pump prices ran ~50-60¢ above the national average through early 2026, and Page is remote: top off fuel and propane in town before heading toward the North Rim, Monument Valley, or any backcountry — services thin out fast once you leave US-89.

Season to skip
December through February: ambient highs 50-58 F, water too cold for swimming, some Wahweap loops closed.

Event sourceArrival playbook
Your first hour in Page
Before you leave the lot
- Book Antelope Canyon tour 30+ days ahead via Navajo Nation Parks site or licensed guide operator.
- Confirm Wahweap, Antelope Point, or Page campground reservation; summer weekends fill 90 days ahead.
Within the first hour
- Top off propane at U-Haul Page (604 Haul Rd) before any Bryce or Grand Canyon push.
- Fuel diesel at Maverik Page before any 100+ mi push north to Bryce or south to Grand Canyon.
Before bed
- Check current Lake Powell elevation before relying on Wahweap or Bullfrog launch ramps.
- Do not stop on Glen Canyon Dam bridge — no stopping zone for any vehicle.
Before departure
- Buy Glen Canyon NRA 7-day pass ($30) or America the Beautiful pass at any entrance station.
The mistake renters make
Avoid this trap
Showing up at Antelope Canyon without a pre-booked tour and expecting walk-in access.
Antelope Canyon is closed to independent visitors; Navajo guides are the only legal entry. Walk-ups during peak season are turned away, and same-day tour availability is rare May-October.
