"Sites were typical National Park, small and close together but well positioned. We had close access to a modern restroom that was clean and well maintained. "
"We chose to stay at Watchman campground because (1) it allowed convenient access to everything inside Zion National Park, (2) it seemed super scenic, and (3) unlike the other campground inside the park"
$50 / night
"It’s fun of all sorts, kayaking, lake beach, boating, cliff jumping, bbq, off-roading everywhere!!! And the beauty that surrounds is unreal!!"
".
- Walking distance to the lake/beach
- The beach area is gorgeous with lots of smooth sand and cool red rock formations.
- There is a restaurant in the park that has decent food."
"Lovely spot with a river running along one side, but only people with river spots have access to it! Conveniently within the nice town of Springdale and very close to park entrance."
"The location is definitely a highlight, it’s just a short walk to the park entrance, which made getting in and out of Zion really convenient. "
$35 - $50 / night
"Perfect location just a short walk away from the visitors center where you catch the shuttle into the park, or exit to catch the shuttle to Springdale. Clean bathrooms. No shade at site 125."
"Located right inside of the National Park area just a few hundred yards from the visitor center this place is the hardest reservation to get at Zion because it is always filling up."
"At the site we were on there was a creek behind us which we loved and so did our dogs! Friendly neighbors! Beautiful place. Located close to Zion park. A lot of off road adventures near by"
"The park is 10minutes away from Zion National Park and about 2hrs from Bryce Canyon. The park is adjacent to the Virgin River. Walking path to the river is great for kids."
$15 - $30 / night
"Beautiful campground with surrounding mountains. About 20 minutes from Colorado City, AZ which has a grocery store. The views are spectacular."
"But it's Arizona, hard to grow grass in the desert, so get used to dust! Views from the campground were beautiful, the pictures I saw online didn't do it justice. Clean and modern facilities."
$28 - $200 / night
"This campground is quiet and out of the way from nearby Zion National Park."

$40 - $54 / night
"Also a nice little restaurant within walking distance (right across the street)."
"Pool, laundry, snacks and not to mention walking distance to everything in town. There is a nice river running behind the camp ground"
"Sandy and right off road. Road noise minimal if any after dark."
"Great access to Zion. There were a bunch of open sites when we got there (4pm) some were along the stream too. We have a Honda Fit and we’re able to camp just fine. Saw a few smaller pull behinds."
"All around a great spot. Right next to the creek, generally quiet with few other campers. Nice and dark at night for star gazing, and shade trees for during the day."
"Spots tucked next to trees that shelter from sunrise, if you’re a late riser ;)"
ScoutAmenities were nice, but the RV park was cramped and very noisy. It’s expected for this campground at this time of year, but I would make a different choice next time. It does have a pool for the kiddos.
ScoutSaw the north side of the Grand Canyon. Nice amenities. Not too expensive, and quiet.
GuideConvenient spots to camp before driving into Springdale and Zion. Completely free, but few actual spaces. A little close to the road. If you can’t find a spot here, maybe check sheep’s bridge.
GuideI saw a few spots at the marker but in driving further to find a turnaround spot for my long van I found a few other spots. Found an open space with rock fire spots and was great. Super quiet and was outside burn restriction areas so we had a good fire.
Was in the 30s at night in June so be prepared!
TravelerI had an amazing time here, and I’m sad I only stayed one night. So serene, so quiet. Great spot with an easy drive to Zion National Park. Only 2 other campers nearby and everyone kept respectful distance for privacy. I parked up on a high-ground area and woke up to a beautiful view. Road coming in (before hitting gravel) is ROUGH. Was previously paved, now has a million potholes, so just drive slowly, and weeeeeave. If my minivan could make it out there just fine, I’m sure you can too! Enjoy the solitude.
ScoutNeeded a spot for an overnight on a road trip and this fit the bill. Quiet, decently dark (a commercial spot across the highway but not too much light, and good pull off.
TravelerTruly such a sick spot. Road is decent, pockets of deeper sand in certain areas, but nothing my minivan couldn’t handle. I drove about a half mile in on Hog Canyon Rd and got an amazing spot in a little grotto/canyon. It was beautiful. Everybody that went by on ATV’s were pretty chill (quite noisy, but I was there on a Friday & Saturday). My misfortune came truly at nobodies fault but my own. I had seen another couple hang their hammocks up to save their spot as they went to town to explore. So I did the same with my camping chair & mini table. Should’ve known better, but just a couple hours passed, and my things were stolen from my site…I was very sad & mad. Didn’t feel comfortable staying another night so I left. It is what it is. Don’t be silly like me. Keep your stuff tight, and you’ll likely really love this spot.
ScoutVery unclear. No one was here and the signs were very vague saying “public land” and also “PRIVATE NO CAMPING” just be warned it’s a bit confusing. We aren’t even staying here
ScoutWe loved our three night stay at Strawberry Point retreat! It was so nice to be tucked away on private land and still have full hookups. The RV site was level and the gravel drive made access pretty smooth. It was secluded and private, surrounded by trees and deer in the evening, but close enough to Duck Creek Village that we could grab a pizza or a coffee when we felt like exploring. We will definitely be back!
