Natural Features
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.
Nearby Attractions

Ethel's Hideout RV park and Campground: Kanab
Fredonia, Arizona3 Reviews10 Photos9 SavesOur story begins with a little old lady, our grandma, who believed with all her heart that we were worth it. She passed a few years ago, and what better way to honor her belief in us than to create Ethel's Hideout. We came from a ranching family, which has brought us closer than we ever imagined. Hard work and dedication were imprinted on us from a young age. On this land we have built an RV pull-through and horse stalls. Ethel's is your home away from home. Our unique RV park is comfortably tucked away to provide a quiet stay away from the crowds. We have only 5 RV spaces and 5 tent sites. RV spaces have water and electric hook ups, tent sites are dry camps, with water access at the community barn. You will never feel crowded.

Mount Carmel Motel & RV Park
Clean and convenient
Small campground, close to Zion NP. Flat spots, quite small though. Full hookups, pull through. No firepit or BBQ on spots, but two BBQ's on the side of the sites. Washing machines and dryers available, $3,-, between 4 p.m. an 10 p.m. Hot and very clean showers!! The best so far.
The only thing inconvenient is that you have to go through the Mt Carmel tunnel to reach Zion NP. And this tunnel is opened for oversized vehicles between 8.00a.m. and 4.30 p.m. So keep that in mind!
Twin Hollows Canyon
Very enjoyable
Lots of spots. Was very quiet and only 20 minutes from the entrance of Zion. Would stay there again. No outdoor facilities.
Bryce View Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park
It's the un-campground!
We usually do dispersed to avoid other humans and their generators, lights, and noise, but Kodachrome only allows generator use from noon to 4, quiet hours are observed and enforced, and the sites in Bryce View are really well spaced out from each other. Most also have shade. It's like dispersed camping, but with toilets and water!
Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort
Fun place!
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.

Twin Hollows Canyon
Nice place, gets busy,
Found a sweet cherry of a space. On the left side, there's a raised area and three or four sites. Right up against the mountain. Wanted to try by the river but was worried about my car in the sand.

Casto Canyon Views Dispersed
Incredible camping spot
The road is pretty smooth and easy to navigate so lower clearance is fine. It’s a beautiful spot with the mountains on one side and an enormous plain facing the other direction. If you’re there in the winter expect some snow but it’s an amazing place. No services so pack in and pack out.
Rock Springs Bench
Great Views of KodaChrome Basin but sketchy access
We've camped here several times during the spring, summer and fall in our 26 foot toyhauler. Gets pretty hot in the heat of the summer but great in the shoulder seasons. Dirt access road that can get impassable when it rains (and believe them when they say impassable!). Not a lot of dispersed camp sites, maybe 6 or 7 in this immediate area.. if you drive down the road toward Lake Powell (Highway 389).. there are more places to camp, but the road can get washed out or blocked by falling rocks along the way, so be prepared to turn around and head back towards Cannonville.
FS #117 Rd Dispersed Camping
Night in the trees
Awesome spot to stop on the way ti Bryce. In Dixie Forest. There is a bathroom across the road from where you turn in. We found it very easy to find. There was a lot of cars going up and down the gravel main road throughout the night.
Twin Hollows Canyon
Easy to find, cute spot
This was my first time ever using this app and trying to find a campsite for a camper van I rented. The reviews on this site helped me decide to check it out and I'm glad I did. The little river was nice and relaxing. Very quiet spot and super dark for great star viewing in the evening. Bonus is that it was fairly close to Zion and very easy to locate. Would def recommend.
Twin Hollows Canyon
Week in Oct
I got here around 4 on a Tuesday, good amount of spots available for any kind of rig set up. If you drive all the way down the road there is a turnaround and fire ring. Like others stated, the creek was wonderful. There is also a hiking trail at the first parking area, go under the tunnel. Very quiet at night, some dust from the ATV.

Beuatiful but too busy
Zion’s beauty is unmatched. It is too busy but has great facilities. Most of the campers and hikers are inexperienced and not prepared. But damn is it beautiful

Dixie Forest Wonderland
We stayed two nights. There are tons of spots in the area spacious or small depending on your needs. It's perfect to visit Bryce Canyon, Red Rock Canyon or enjoy just your stay in a Pine Forest surrounded by Mountains. There are many ATV trails and bycicle trails, you can do horse back riding or hiking in the vicinity. The temperature is even in the summer cool because of a elevation of 7700 ft. There is a vault Toilet across the Hyw for a "big business". The spots are accessible even with a car. Big rigs would have no problem.

Middle between Zion and Bryce
Great spot on Harris Rim that overlooked the canyon. There's some traffic noise but not too bad. There is a herd of cows that range up there as well.

We had a great time and the restrooms were clean.
South Campground — Zion National Park
A Gem
How lucky we got to arrive here with no reservation and actually land a spot from a cancellation! It must of been Gods will or shall I say Gods blessing! What a beautiful spot!!!! Access to the river, bike trail/river walk, Enough space between sites, a wonderful host, and can’t leave out the beauty of nature surrounding us!
Henrieville Creek - Grand Staircase Nat Mon
Beautiful riverside site, hard to get to
The road is overgrown and eroded and you’d need a high clearance vehicle to negotiate it. I wouldn’t go there during rainy weather-the road will turn to mud and the site is at the same level as the river.
On the positive, the site is only a short distance away from the highway and you’ll be camping by a beautiful white cliff, among fragrant plantation. It’s also good stopover between Bryce Canyon and Escalante.

Very quiet campground and felt like we were alone. Can’t see other sites. Horse stables away from tents and didn’t smell at all. Restrooms really clean. Can’t wait to go again
