    Zion Canyon Campground

    Incredible location to fully enjoy Zion National Park. It's worth it.

    Incredible location to fully enjoy Zion National Park. Very clean campground despite being full. The staff is friendly. The sites are very close to each other but they took care to keep the sewers away from our view. Air-conditioned bathroom. One free shower of 6 minutes max per night but it's enough. Shuttle to the park on the corner of the street or 10 minutes walk to reach the Visitor Center. Incredible view of the mountains including The Watchman!!

    South Campground — Zion National Park

    Great campground

    This campground is great for exploring Zion National Park. Each campsite has a fire pit and picnic table. There are restrooms with running water and electricity. Only a short walk from a shuttle station and Visitor’s Center. We also had deer around our campsite every morning and evening.

    Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort

    Most amenities of any campground I've ever seen

    We were just looking for a place to sleep, checked out the first camping outside of Zion east entrance and decided to check out the next closest one according to info from the Zion ranger. Info said 2 miles, but more like 7-8. Upon arrival my kids eyes lit up and we booked 3 mid week nights. Free, private hot showers. Dish was station. Free pool and hot tub, ball sports, playground and fitness trail. Pay for stuff like bungie trampoline and rock wall and put put. 2 camp stores recently equipped, even individual beers(4%). Our site was a little small, tent was to close to the fire ring to feel comfortable with a fire. We peaked at the glamping tents and were jealous, maybe next time. Great spot at $30 a night plus taxes etc.

    Zion West RV Park

    Convenient location to Bryce and Zion

    I have stayed here twice in 2020. Once in January and again in July. I haven’t stayed in an rv but they do have glamping tents and tiny houses to rent on Airbnb for reasonable prices.

    This place is about 45 minutes from Zion National park and 2 hours from Bryce Canyon.

    There’s a laundry room for you to do laundry (bring your own quarters) and the bathrooms are nice and clean. You don’t get as much privacy for the showers as I’d prefer but it’s not that terrible since I think only Airbnb guests uses the restrooms and not the rv guests. WiFi was available for us which helped plan our hikes.

    There are tables around the laundry room building to sit at and relax. It’s a very quiet campground too which made sitting out in the evening very peaceful. The owners are so nice and accommodating. Cell service was okay but goes in and out (1-2 bars for Verizon)

    Zion River Resort

    Nice RV Park, wifi is slow though

    The park itself is nice. Full hook ups, heated pool and hot tub. Restrooms and laundry on site. Propane also on site. There are also a series of fenced in dog parks (3). So if you have dogs that don’t get along with other dogs that’s a plus because you can just go in a different one. The wifi is kind of hit or miss sometimes though. When the park is full at peak times good luck streaming anything. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t spring for the back in river spots unless you just want privacy behind you. The view for us isn’t that great as there is a rock wall behind you so your view is actually of that unless you have a very big rig. It is very close to Springdale and Zion National Park which is very convenient and why we chose it so four stars.

    Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort

    Stay here!

    Beautiful resort, deer everywhere, tons of activities, mini golf, 2 pools and 2 hot tubs, heated bathrooms and showers, restaurants food wasn't very good but the staff was super friendly. It was really cold in October, snowed shortly after arrival. Our site was huge, had 2 fire pits and a picnic table. Not too far from the bathroom. We stayed at site 10 but 11 had the best views in my opinion. Observation point trail is here plus more!

    Snow Canyon State Park Campground

    Not what we had hoped

    We reserved several nights here, based on the expectation of cell reception and electric. I'm working remotely, so these are must haves. When we got there, we found that there was zero service on either of our carriers, and no WiFi available.

    Only the RV sites have power, and the RV sites were pathetically small. They were basically parking spots with tiny shared picnic tables between them. It looked more like a Walmart parking lot than a campsite. Very disappointing.

    If you're able to go without power and internet, the tent sites were fairly nice. But if you need either, look elsewhere.

    Zion Canyon Campground

    Beautiful and convenient

    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 spots are narrow and not private, very close to neighbors. Campfires are allowed which is both a pro and con because the canyon tends to trap all the smoke and it gets difficult to breathe with so many fires. Many restaurants are within walking distance. It’s a great spot if you will be spending most of your time away from camp in the park or in town.


Guide to Dammeron Valley

Glamping opportunities near Dammeron Valley, Utah range from rustic campsites to full-service resorts within the high desert landscape at 5,000-5,600 feet elevation. The region experiences dramatic temperature fluctuations, with summer days reaching 95°F while dropping below 65°F at night. Winter camping requires preparation for temperatures that can dip below freezing, with occasional snow between November and February.

What to do

Hiking at Snow Canyon State Park: Located about 20 minutes from Dammeron Valley, the park offers diverse trails through red rock formations and ancient lava flows. "Great red rock/lava flow hiking trail options, most are easy/moderate, nice loop through Snow Canyon and around on mesa and back for road cycling," notes Mark M. from Snow Canyon State Park Campground.

Water activities at nearby reservoirs: Several state parks within 20 miles of the Dammerton Valley area provide water recreation options. According to Rachel H. from WillowWind RV Park, "At least 3 state parks within a 20 mile radius, two are water sport havens (Sand Hollow and Quail Creek) and the other is hiking trail nirvana (Snow Canyon)."

Stargazing and night hiking: The dark skies in the region provide exceptional stargazing opportunities. At Kolob Gate Gardens, campers appreciate the "adorable night hike up the hill, listening to the creek from our tent at night... The night skies were also to die for," according to Abby T.

What campers like

Peaceful riverfront locations: Many campsites offer water features for relaxation. Larry E. from Zion River Resort shares, "The cool Virgin River behind our site was a nice place to soak our tired feet and enjoy a beverage after hiking in Zion. We preferred the pace of Virgin over Sugardale, and it was only 20min away."

Clean, spacious facilities: Campground facilities in the area typically offer well-maintained amenities. At WillowWind RV Park, one reviewer noted, "This is one of the best kept RV parks I have ever been to. 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."

Wildlife encounters: The region's wildlife adds to the glamping experience near Dammeron Valley. Evan O. from Kolob Gate Gardens mentions, "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."

What you should know

Cell service varies by location: Connectivity can be inconsistent throughout the area. A reviewer at Zion River Resort notes, "There is virtually no cell signal in Virgin. Certainly not enough to even begin to create a hot spot. There is wifi (and we even had a booster on our site)...but there was still terribly connectivity."

Temperature management: The desert climate requires planning. Jake C. from Snow Canyon mentions, "I'd recommend this as an early spring camp outing. The temps climb quickly in Southern Utah in late spring. My kids had a blast in the sand dune area."

Bathroom facilities vary significantly: Some glamping options provide superior facilities while others are more rustic. At Cedar City RV Resort by Rjourney, one camper observed, "The campground itself is great, especially the bathrooms are surprisingly amazing. And here comes the but: the tent sites are right on the street without much of a barrier."

Tips for camping with families

Bring extra water: The dry climate requires more hydration than you might expect. "We had to pack in water as well! But there is a stream close by you will need a handy dandy shovel to dig down to it, also a good filtration system would be very beneficial," advises a reviewer at Zion Canyon Campground.

Seasonal timing matters: For comfortable glamping near Dammerton Valley with kids, choose timing carefully. "Visited in June 2015. Very busy, but had one of the best experiences of my life hiking the Narrows. Highly recommend," shares Lindsey A.

Resort amenities for downtime: Some glamping resorts offer extensive recreation options for families. "Lots of fun for kids. Horseback riding, putt putt golf, pad boards, cabins, tents and RV sites," notes David G. from Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort.

Tips from RVers

Satellite and TV access: Trees can affect satellite reception at many glamping sites. "We stayed in one of the satellite friendly spots. Unfortunately, the space we were in was not so 'friendly' due to the mature trees on either side. The satellite friendly spots are in the back of the RV park," warns Rachel H. about WillowWind RV.

Space considerations: Some RV sites offer more privacy than others. "The non-hookup sites are MUCH better than the ones with hookups. The hookup sites are VERY narrow (some as little as 10 feet wide) and difficult to pull into," advises tom R. from Snow Canyon State Park.

Consider alternate locations to Zion: For RV glamping near Dammeron Valley, smaller communities offer less congested alternatives. "We've stayed at this campground twice and I struggled between giving it 3 and 4 stars. I rounded up because it is in a pretty good location which is a pro along with the fact that it is clean and the team there is very nice and helpful," notes a reviewer at Zion West RV Park.
