A small circle of dirt/sand. Pretty unlevel but ok for a night. There’s several fire pits and a beautiful overlook just a lil walk down with stunning sunsets and sunrises. Tons of tent options closer to the overlook that seem cozy!


Beautiful little camp spot

Stayed here two nights while visiting Zion. Has room for several vehicles. Probably not the best for a camper/RV. Just looks like a pull out/ gap in the guardrail, but there's a little road that takes you to a loop with a few spots with campfire rings. Accessible to 2wd vehicles. Made it in fine in my Kia Forte. If you have a tent, you can walk down the slope a little bit for some nice canyon views. Fairly full Thursday night and only a couple people Friday (4/13-14).

Nice spot to pull off near Zion NP

Lots of spots to walk in and put up a small tent. Rock fire rings. About 4 spots for vehicles to pull in and camp. 4x4 not required. Pretty scenery.

Cozy

Even in wet weather accessable. About 4-5 spots. Busy especially at weekends in the summer season. It's close to the highway and the camp spots a close by. It's okay for a overnight stop only a few miles before the entrance gate of the Zion National Park.

great location

This site would be amazing if other campers treated it with respect. There’s only about 5 or so sites and most of them had garbage all over the place. We picked up the area we camped in but previous campers left fast food garbage, food wrappers, cigarette butts, etc. 
It’s a great location, about 30 minutes from Zion visitor center. Nice trees provide ample shade and we strung up some hammocks.
