GuideNice basic RV camp. Spot A04 was flat enough that leveling system was able to finish leveling without much effort. Bathrooms were clean but dated. Traffic noise was there but not overwhelming. Gas stations and grocery stores were near by making it convenient to restock or fill up before heading down the road. Staff was friendly and outgoing. Dog run was adequate in size.
ScoutThe most Beautiful campground I’ve ever stayed at. They have paved spots with a fire pit and picnic table. well maintained and prices are reasonable. Only downside is no showers!
TravelerViews from the campground are second to none
TravelerI’m fairly new to trailer travel. This is the cleanest and conveniently located park I’ve stayed at so far..
GuideWe had a nice, quiet one-night stay here. Dog park, clean bathrooms, easy pull-through slots! The office cat is very friendly. Get your food before you get to Leeds as there isn’t much available near campground.
ScoutThis is a perfect location to visit Zion. Springdale is a cute town with lots of cafes and restaurants etc. The rv park is so nice with great showers!
GuideWe needed a break from the Utah heat. The gracious and helpful folks at check in lined us up on an amazing site with full shade and manicured grass between spots. The laundry, showers, clean bathrooms, dog wash and dog play area is also nice. This place gave us everything we needed before getting back to boondocking!
GuideAn amazing place to camp, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Fantastic hiking and cycling trails with spectacular views in every direction. The nearby town of Springdale has plenty to offer, with great places to eat, shop and explore. A perfect stop for anyone visiting Zion National Park. Highly recommended!
ScoutAmenities are great with shuttle to Zion, showers, laundry, fire pits, full hook ups, pool and a packed store in case you forgot something. Employees are very pleasant and camp is very clean. Four legged friends are welcome.
Cedar City sits at an elevation of 5,800 feet in southwestern Utah, serving as a gateway to both high mountain terrain and desert landscapes. Summer temperatures average 90°F during day but drop to 55°F at night, creating significant temperature fluctuations for campers. Most Cedar City camping and glamping options operate seasonally between mid-May and mid-October with limited winter accommodations available.
OHV trail exploration: Duck Creek serves as the hub for hundreds of miles of OHV trails through Dixie National Forest. "I love duck creek. Great Camping if you can get away from all the tourist and their off road toys. Lots of trails to ride, if that's your thing," notes one Duck Creek visitor.
Fishing at Panguitch Lake: Located about 30 miles from Cedar City, this high-elevation lake offers excellent trout fishing. According to a camper at Panguitch Lake, "Great trout fishing area and camping ground for RV. Market and restaurant. Cheap prices!"
Temperature escape hiking: Cedar Canyon provides instant relief from summer heat. "Cedar City was 92F in July and this campground was 72F just 12mi away. What a relief from the heat on our road trip out West," explains a Cedar Canyon camper. The temperature drops approximately 20 degrees in just 12 miles of elevation gain.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds around Cedar City maintain high standards for bathrooms and amenities. At Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort, campers appreciate the upkeep: "The cabin itself was clean and cozy! The facilities are likewise clean and there are tons of activities right on property."
Winter yurt camping options: While most Cedar City camping operations close seasonally, yurt camping remains available year-round at select locations. "We stayed in one of the 'Cowboy Cabins'. The cabin itself was clean and cozy! The facilities are likewise clean and there are tons of activities right on property," reports a winter visitor to Zion Ponderosa.
Family-friendly recreation: Many campgrounds offer dedicated children's activities. At WillowWind RV Park, one camper noted, "They had a really fun cabin with a pool table and games and movies that all the campers were allowed to use."
Seasonal operation: Most camping facilities close during winter months. "Ended up at Duck Creek mid May where nights got down to 25 degrees. Besides getting a little chillier and windier than we anticipated, it was a great campsite!" explains a camper about shoulder season conditions.
Highway noise concerns: Some campgrounds sit close to roadways with traffic noise. At Cedar Canyon, "The road was a bit noisy during commuting hours but absolutely silent by nightfall."
Early arrival recommended: First-come, first-served sites fill quickly, especially on weekends. "We highly advise getting there very early in the AM. We got there around 8:00AM," suggests one Cedar Canyon visitor regarding securing non-reserved spots.
Cold nights year-round: Even summer camping requires warm sleeping gear. A Duck Creek camper warns: "Ended up at Duck Creek mid May where nights got down to 25 degrees. Besides getting a little chillier and windier than we anticipated, it was a great campsite!"
Recreation centers for rainy days: Several Cedar City area campgrounds offer indoor facilities when weather doesn't cooperate. At WillowWind RV Park, "There is a rec center with a pool table. The staff was awesome & very helpful."
Site selection matters: For tent camping families, look specifically for level sites. One Panguitch Lake camper advised: "One of the few drawbacks that I had was our campsite did not have a level section to put a tent. I think if you are reserving a tent spot there should be spot that is level to place your sleeping area."
Kid-friendly yurt camping: Alternative accommodations provide comfort for families new to camping near Cedar City. A visitor to Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort shared: "Lots of fun for kids. Horseback riding, putt putt golf, pad boards, cabins, tents and RV sites."
Full hookup availability: Most major campgrounds offer complete services for RVs. At Zion Canyon Campground, "We had a full hook up site. I would visit again."
Wi-Fi considerations: Internet connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds. "My only real complaint is the WiFi. It's an 'Access code' WiFi so it works fine on a device but won't work on a smart TV, Roku, Apple TV, etc because they don't have access to a browser," notes a WillowWind RV camper.
Temperature management: Cedar City's significant elevation changes mean temperature planning is essential. "Despite basically being in a desert, the park had lush grass in every spot and a dense tree cover. It was about 10 degrees cooler in the park because of the shade from the trees," observes a WillowWind visitor about managing desert heat in an RV.
