Hotels in Lake Powell and Page
Houseboats -- Although there are plenty of hotels and motels in and near Page, the most popular accommodations here are not waterfront hotel rooms, but houseboats, which function as floating vacation homes. With a houseboat, which is as easy to operate as a car, you can explore Lake Powell's beautiful red-rock country, far from any roads. No special license or prior experience is necessary, and plenty of hands-on instruction is given before you leave the marina. Because Lake Powell houseboating is extremely popular with visitors from all over the world, it's important to make reservations as far in advance as possible, especially if you plan to visit in summer.
Campgrounds -- There are campgrounds at Wahweap and Lees Ferry in Arizona, and at Bullfrog, Hite, and Halls Crossing in Utah. Because of the lake’s popularity, these campgrounds stay packed for much of the year. Wahweap (tel. 888/896-3829) charges $30 per night (reservations available online at www.lakepowell.com). Some scrubby trees provide a bit of shade at the Wahweap site, but the wind and sun make this a rather bleak spot in summer. Down in the Glen Canyon recreation area’s southern tip, the Lees Ferry Campground (www.nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/camping.htm; tel. 928/608-6200), about 5 miles north of the Navajo Bridge on Lees Ferry Rd., has a 55-site campground charging $20 per night. Reservations are not accepted.
