East Zion RV Park, near Mount Carmel, Utah, is a solid choice for RV travelers looking for a convenient spot close to the stunning landscapes of Zion National Park. This place offers full hookups and a great view of the riverbank, making it a comfortable base for your adventures.

The park is known for its friendly atmosphere and access to hotel amenities, including a restaurant famous for its pies and a golf course nearby. Visitors have mentioned enjoying the shaded sites and the overall value, especially after spending time at more primitive national park sites. One camper shared, “We have been traveling around America for 8 weeks and these are the best amenities.”

While the park is RV-only and lacks some facilities like showers and toilets, it makes up for it with its location and the convenience of nearby services. If you’re looking to explore, you’re just a stone's throw from Zion, where you can hike, bike, or simply soak in the breathtaking views.

Just keep in mind that the front desk can be a bit slow due to staffing issues, but the staff is generous with their time. If you’re ready for a mix of relaxation and adventure, East Zion RV Park has what you need.

No Pull Through - All units must back in. RV's are backed up to the riverbank.

Small, run down , dirty but has great location

This a very small RV park. 10-12 spots. Pretty rundown. Spot next to me had broken electrical post with exposed wires. Dog poo everywhere. A few small trash cans scattered around, but too small for a small kitchen trash bag. I think this park was built as a second thought. It does sit on nice little stream.

When I called to make reservations, the young man casually mentioned that the office is closed on Wednesdays & Thursdays. If we wanted to use the hot tub, we needed to go across the street to the Chevron gas station for a key. We arrived around 4pm and my confirmation email did not specify a spot. So I went to Chevron and was given a choice of 2 spots. The signs are terrible. Email comes from Thunderbird Lodge Best Western. Nothing matches up. Not much Verizon signal and no WiFi available. There is a Subway sandwich shop across the street.

If just passing through for quick stop, I guess it’s minimally acceptable. We would not stay there again.

Wrong phone number!

The number listed here is for a Shell gas station with a “RV park”. Make sure you clarify which campground you are talking to. The campground across the road from the shell station is the Thunderbird East Zion RV Park.
We did not stay at either, but the Thunderbird looked nice, the Shell “RV Park” was a gravel parking lot behind a U-haul rental…

Everything we needed and more

We are in an RV overlooking a riverbank. Across the street is the front desk, a restaurant., gift shop, gas station with convenience store, a golf pro shop, a golf course, a laundry room, a pool, hot tub, all for $35!!!! We have been traveling around America for 8 weeks snd these are the best amenities. We were tired of primitive national park rv sites. So glad we booked this. It took awhile fir front desk to get to us as they are drastically understaffed, but the fee here holding the fort are very generous with their time

Close to Zion

Operated by the Best Western ThunderBird at Mount Carmel. Only RVs. Full hookups with 50 and 30 amp. Great price. I think $39 with taxes. Along with the site, you also have access to the hotel amenities. The restaurant is know for its pies. River or creek runs behind the shaded sites. Rated 4 because there is no bath house.
