Lake Powell is a little over an hour away, and Bryce Canyon National Park is a little further down the road at 81 miles away.

Many trails lead to petroglyphs, slot canyons, hidden lakes, and sand caves. Town amenities are just a few miles away. Kanab has several great coffee shops, grocery stores, and off-road adventures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dark Sky RV is an amazing place to stay! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It sits on 40 acres of untouched sagebrush with views of the Red Cliffs, Vermillion Cliffs, and the Kaibab Plateau. This family run boutique RV haven offers hospitality, great views, and cool amenities. Guests can rent e-bikes, jeeps, and off-road vehicles, and family dogs are allowed to go on your adventures in the rental vehicles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note: The 4CU has already paid for 14 RV sites and members will pay their site fees directly to the 4CU when they register.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PLANNED ACTIVITIES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday<\/strong> \u2013 Arrival Day \u2013 8 October 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5:30pm Happy Hour &amp; hors d\u2019oeuvres (BYOB &amp; BYOF)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>8am \u2013 coffee and pastries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6:30pm \u2013 Dark Sky RV hosts a social on Thursday Evenings.&nbsp; They provide complimentary beer, wine, and a bite to eat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possible Dark Sky Party<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>8am \u2013 coffee and pastries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5:30pm \u2013 Happy Hour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6:30pm \u2013 Space themed movie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>8am \u2013 coffee and pastries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunday<\/strong> \u2013 Sunday, 12 October 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Departure Day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bestfriends.org\/sanctuary\"><strong>Best Friends<\/strong><\/a>, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operates the nation\u2019s largest sanctuary for homeless animals and provides adoption, spay\/neuter, and educational programs.
