Reservations for South Campground are available up to 14 days before your arrival and may extend up to two days beyond this 14-day booking window. For visitors to Zion National Park, South Campground is an ideal place to stay. Located near the park's south entrance, the campground is just a short walk from the main visitor center, the Zion Canyon Shuttle System and the adjacent town of Springdale. The canyon and most of the park's trails are only accessible by shuttle bus from approximately the end of February until the end of November each year. Season Dates: South Campground is open from early March to the end of October. Reservations are available up to 14 days before your arrival. For example, if you want to make a reservation for March 14 to 16, you may book this reservation beginning on March 1. Reservations that extend beyond the 14 day booking window cannot be altered. For reservations more than 14 days ahead of arrival, please check Watchman Campground which offers reservations six months in advance of arrival.
Hikers can access three trails directly from the facility: the Watchman Trail, a moderate trail that ascends the peak behind the campground; the Archeology Trail, which offers a light hike to an archeological site; and the Pa'rus Trail, a paved walking and biking trail that runs alongside the river, and the only trail in the park that allows dogs. The Zion visitor center and the park shuttles are a short walk from the campground. Many popular rock climbing routes are within a short shuttle bus ride into the main canyon. Use of OHVs and ATVs is prohibited in Zion National Park.
Zion is known for its dynamic geologic history. The South Campground and Amphitheater were built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the early 1930s. The project was completed and opened to the public in the spring of 1935. The Virgin River, a narrow but powerful river that has carved out the canyon over time, runs adjacent to the site. Cottonwood trees surrounding the campsite turn golden in the fall. Although the campground is moderately forested, most of the campsites are in partial to full sun but visitors can cool off in the cold river when temperatures peak during summer. Be Advised: The months of April and May bring an unusual infestation of Tent Caterpillars, which fall from trees onto tents, tables, and unsuspecting campers and can make it quite uncomfortable to sit outside. The months of July and August in particular bring a higher concentration of ants in the campsites, which seem to come out especially after the monsoons, but are present all summer long. August and September bring yellowjackets. Insecticidal treatment by visitors is not permitted.
The town of Springdale has shopping, art galleries, shower facilities, restaurants. equipment rental businesses, gas stations, markets, bike rentals, library and health clinic.

So close to Zion this is a great free camping spot. The access road is a bit bumpy as the pavement is potholed but no trouble in our Class C. Lots of spots to choose from and some great views to be had. Highly recommend
Scout
We were able to reserve a spot online. We arrived after the office was closed-The office left our paperwork on the cork board out in front of the office. Bathrooms are really clean, almost look like they were recently remodeled. Grounds were clean. Sites are pretty close together. Dog wash and park on site were nice for after hiking for the pup! We will stay again-
Scout
Great place to stay, we were able to get laundry done they had great clean facilities as well as a dog washing station to get the dogs all cleaned up to, we will be back!
Scout
All this place is is a trailer park. It has no charm. Maybe if you have no understanding of what a campground is. The tent sites are just gravel with surrounded by brick walls. No trees no View. You have to be a simpleton to appreciate this.
Guide
Ruby’s tent area was separate enough for the hordes of RVs to make it an okay place to stay. Lots of car campers in this area (like us) and enough elbow room that you are not on top of each other. They advertise free WiFi, but it is a weak throttled network that is frustrating to even open email on. The good news- great cell service in Bryce!
It was a decent choice to be able to book in advance. The people were nice at check in and the Bryce shuttle runs from this location.
GuideTent site are not marked. The map is incorrect that is given to you. Clean bathrooms and showers. Walking distance to general store and gift shop. The two things keeping it from 5 stars is the unmarked tent sites and (in my opinion) the people are weird in the area
GuideWe enjoyed the stay at Ruby‘s Inn. Clean Facilities, a lot of options to do laundry and a lot of space. There is a free shuttle to get to Bryce Canyon NP.
GuideNice park glad to see real grass and shade. Nice facility
RangerWe stayed here in our class B van because we could not get a reservation in Bryce. The Bryce shuttle stops right on the property! Ruby’s has everything you can want. Friendly office staff, clean bathrooms, hot showers, propane, free Wi-Fi that works pretty well, a pool/hot-tub and more. Sites where we stayed (closer to the road) are well spaced in Ponderosa pines. We’d stay again!
GuideWish we would have stayed multiple nights here. Shaded site, good space, clean, nice amenities, fun shops. 100% would book again
Guide
Super crowded campground, but makes Zion activities super easy. For the price I’d like to see much nicer bathrooms and showers. Also you will meet your neighbor as they pack it in. Still had a great time, but paying mostly for location not nice amenities
LegendWe stopped here for an overnight to explore Bryce Canyon and it was perfect. We couldn’t get in the park and this is literally directly outside the park with full hookups and shuttle stops at the campground. We stayed in site 62 which was a pull through. Well maintained and clean, pretty with trees and nice picnic tables and gravel fire pits (not rings). The sites are small and really close together but we were hardly there. Staff is very friendly and amenities, if you used them, were great. Would stay again!
LegendAbsolutely phenomenal views of you back up to the river. All the sites are surrounded by amazing scenery, the riverfront sites are just extra! We had full hook ups on the river and would return over and over again! Very nice staff, easy check in, clean campground with amenities (we didn’t use them tho) and very quiet. You’d better have an awning and some AC tho…this sun is brutal. The only CON I can tell you is some of the sites are back in and some pull in and some pull through so you can get a “buddy site” without knowing it and that cuts waaaaaay down on privacy. Thankfully our neighbors were very pleasant and almost everyone is gone during the day anyway. Overall would 100% recommend staying here and we will be back!
Traveler
We stayed for 3 nights in the Cave Dwelling unit. The site was very clean, they check on the hot tubs daily to make sure the water levels are correct and in good order. Staff was very quick to help with any issues. This was a very comfortable stay and close to the south entrance of Zion National Park. The only downfall was the view - there was construction going on across from the property but we would definitely stay here again.
Scout
Right on the highway, very noisy. Showers are listed as an amenity, but they charge $8. That’s not an amenity. There is no wifi in campground.
GuideWe spent one night in this campground
The place was amazing, it’s crazy to be in the middle of Zion. The view was stunning. Only 5min (in car) to the shuttles
But we were super close to the other RV, the campground was quite crowded. No intimity at all
Shower limited to 6/7min is enough It was clean
100$ for a Campervan 18ft for the night, the most expensive campground we did in a two weeks roadtrip through the national parks.
GuideWe stayed at Crazy Horse for one night while visiting Zion. It’s located in the gorgeous little town of Kanab. We purchased a campsite just to park our van after a long day of hiking. The staff was so friendly in the front office, they made you feel like family! And their dogs are so cute. We were able to take unlimited hot showers included in our nightly stay, the bathrooms were so clean and felt like a rustic spa. The laundry was coin operated, attached to the office. We walked to Escobar’s Mexican restaurant right next door for dinner and omg it was amazing. Best salsa we’ve ever had. We heated up leftovers the next morning in the office microwave. The best part of it all was the incredible scenery surrounding this rv park, red rock mountains everywhere and hiking trails. Kanab is a special town with friendly people, great shopping and food. Visit the shop Gifts of the West, owner was super sweet and we bought some beautiful native items. This place is a gem!
Scout
So, our original plan was to stay here 3 nights, but we changed our plans and just booked one... And man am I glad. Talked with the owner before booking, he sounded very genuine and had lots of great info on the area... Really great guy. But... He's not there running it, and I feel like whoever he left in charge is doing him a disservice. You can for sure see the work and potential, but really poorly maintained. Primitive spots (what we picked) were completely uncleared and overgrown with thorny grass, I was picking them out of my shoes for days from just setting up the tent. Porta potty was... Horrifying. An absolute biohazard. We didn't even bother with the showers after seeing the state of that.
Nothing is clearly marked, so it's questionable on if you're even supposed to be in certain areas...
Just... Good idea, and a good start, but needs some proper care.
LegendNice check in experience. Friendly staff was help for directing us to some items in the store and filling propane. There are 2 sections of the park. Lot of sites located under the trees (like we had), another area is more out in the open which looked to be newer and great for big rigs. The park shuttle picks up right in front. There is also bike paths that you can ride to the park. The bike path also heads the other way for miles! We will return here if ever this way again.
Scout
My daughters and I had a great time! There was a fire ban however, propane grills were allowed. If you didn’t have one, they had a community one you could use. Showered were a bit dirty. Girls hair everywhere! Pool was fun, mini golf and loads of other family activities. We had one funny incident the first night we got here. We couldn’t figure out where campsite was because it started out we pitched our tent at the wrong site. Eventually, we got to the site where our tent was and realized what our mistake. Family memories as we couldn’t stop laughing.
TravelerSerious shortage of bathrooms. Long waits and many not clean. Otherwise nice place.
TravelerWe had a great time at site 2! The creek was wonderful to be next to and was so peaceful at night! Initially we had issues finding the site, for those looking for more info via reviews, do not follow your gps! It will take you off roading on private property! Instead call and get directions from a site manager and that will get you there :)! TB (the little orange cat) was super hospitable and sweet. Hung by us all night and even slept on top of our tent in between the screen and rain fly. All of the site animals were kind and made us feel much safer. We met with Travis who was super nice and friendly! He told us about the wildlife and gave us advice about places to visit. We were recommended taking Kolob terrace all the way up during sun set & it was beyond beautiful!! Our only regret was not doing it until the last night. A tip for future campers is to make sure you bring organic chemical free soaps because if you plan on taking a shower, the water comes and goes from the creek. Also, the bathrooms have locks on them which isn’t a big issue, but make sure to ask in advance. We made the mistake of not using the bathrooms until late at night & it was too late to get in contact with a site manager. The sites are a little hard to find because their camp maps don’t match their recent reorganization, but it’s not too hard to figure out. All around a great site with lovely people and animals!
Scout
Great spot. Full hookups. Small pool and hot tub.
LegendBeautiful stranding
TravelerVery pleasant place with friendly staff. All amenities in good condition. Shower by tokens limited to one a night, however costs additional 6$ if you fancy a shower on a check out day… Spots are quite tight, the view is amazing and town shuttle stop is just round the corner. 15 mins on foot to the entrance of the park.
LegendMy wife & I stayed at Willow Wind RV Campground as we visited the St. George area. Normally, I prefer not to stay at private/fully established campgrounds because they tend to be glorified parking lots for giant motorhomes. To my surprise, the sites were well spaced apart and have abundant shade trees at each site. We went mid-week so there were a number of full time RV's staying there, but even so the place was not crowded at all. The grounds are very clean, and the staff are always cleaning up. They have clean, well kept bathrooms and showers along with an onsite laundry facility. All in all, nice place to stay for a stop through or multi-nights.
GuideAmazing location for Bryce Canyon National Park on the road to the park entrance and shuttle into the park available. Well appointee with everything you would expect from an RV park (LP, small convenience store, laundry, etc). Walking distance to town of Bryce Canyon and the Ruby business org has all kinds of offerings in the town (country music dinner, general store, bike/rv rental).
