"2.5 mike hike in, 300 ft elevation gain, easy trail to beautiful overlook of southern Utah. Camp is a sandy open area next to the overlook and cliffs of Snow Canyon State Park. Free to camp."
"Snow Canyon is a still relatively unknown place near St George, Utah. There is SO much to do around there and there are great hikes that leave from this campground which makes it even better."
$52 - $67 / night
"We were on a road trip around Utah and decided to stop in the town of Saint George to get a bite to eat. We ended up taking our time to eat."
"This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area."
$28 - $40 / night
"Beautiful location! All camp sites overlook the lake. There are flush toilets and outdoor coin showers. If the camp ground fills, they allow primitive camping in the parking lot for a minimal fee."
"The big pro is that you are really close to a lake where you can go for a swim, quite a rare feature for a campground in Utah. Beautiful surroundings, new showers and restrooms."
"We had a fun trip to Utah this past weekend for an off-road event. We found the KOA and set up camp for a few days. Internet connection wasn’t great and the weather was moody since it was March."
"This KOA is located about ten minutes outside of St George and right off the I-15 freeway. It was all the amenities that your typical KOA has; dog park, hookups, cabins, and store."
$5 - $15 / night
"Stopped here late on my way through Utah. Short drive off the highway and easy to find. Very clean sites, I was only there in the dark but area was quiet and easy to setup camp."
"I use this spot when I want to go to zion which is only a 30 min drive from red cliffs. Zions camp spots are alway reserved in advance."
$35 - $130 / night
"Sites were typical National Park, small and close together but well positioned. We had close access to a modern restroom that was clean and well maintained. "
"Watchman is conveniently located within walking distance of the Zion National Park south entrance. The camp sites are shaded with trees and red gravel/sand ground structure."
$5 - $24 / night
"Nice location - not too far from Zion, but much quieter! Beautiful drive in."
"Ended up here as a last minute change in camping locations, and it didn’t disappoint."
$30 - $200 / night
"It’s fun of all sorts, kayaking, lake beach, boating, cliff jumping, bbq, off-roading everywhere!!! And the beauty that surrounds is unreal!!"
"It’s always a family favorite when we go to Southern Utah"
$35 - $175 / night
"Sites (mostly drive through but a few back-in) have a table, fire ring, power and water. There is no shade, so you will want to bring something for that. The bathrooms are very clean with heaters."
$25 - $100 / night
"Awesome campground tucked in the river valley directly outside of Veyo and 30 minutes outside of St. George! "
"We got the largest site and people walked through our camp constantly. Rock climbers and crawdad fishers. Other sites camped in a rock parking area or you can't park close."
ScoutPyramid was a good place to take a break as we moved across Utah. We were there for 1 night in May. There is a well serviced bathroom. No water or electricity. It's very close to stores and services, although you'd never know it. It seems very remote.
GuideWe explored Zion and the park is beautiful but it is super crowded. This campground’s location to the park can’t be beat and the facilities are clean and well maintained. It is costly but sometimes the convenience has a value all it’s own.
ScoutGood campground, clean bathrooms. Not a lot of shadow.
ScoutWe recently stayed at Zion Canyon Campground and had a mixed experience. The location is definitely a highlight, it’s just a short walk to the park entrance, which made getting in and out of Zion really convenient.
That said, the campground was very full, and the campsites are packed in pretty tightly. Some are extremely close to each other, so don’t expect much privacy. It was also pretty loud during the day with lots of kids running around, which might be something to consider if you're looking for a quieter stay. On the positive side, the campground provides two shower coins per night, which was a nice touch, and pets are allowed.
The onsite shop was well-stocked with fair prices, and the check-in process was quick and easy. Our site had full hookups including water, electricity, and sewer, though the sewer connection at our particular site was placed a bit far away, which made it a little inconvenient.
Overall, it’s a solid option if you want to be as close to the park as possible and don’t mind a busier campground environment. The price is relatively high for what you get, but the location may make it worth it for some.
TravelerBeautiful spot in a small canyon. There are many spots along the black top road"Kolob Ter Rd, out of Virgin, and many were already taken as it was Sunday of memorial Day weekend. The dirt road off the black top to the campsite is rough, we have a pickup with slide-in camper, I wouldn't take anything bigger on this road.
ScoutAwesome RV Park just off I15. Park is great for Vets as paying cash will get you a night for $30. I arrived to spend 1 night but ended up spending 4 as it gave me the time to restock/refresh as I am an avid boonedocker. 6 miles from Cedar City to all that you will need. Lots of trails to hike or bike. Showers, laundry and restrooms available and very clean!! I will definitely be staying here again!
TravelerMy husband and I have been staying here for 10 days and we were planning on staying another 2 days, before moving on to cooler temperatures. Well, this afternoon, we got the dreaded knock from a police officer and a Ranger, who told us that this is state trust land, not BLM land, and a permit is required to stay here. We haven't seen any signs saying anything about that, but after reading the reviews here, it looks like one person mentioned it.
It's a busy, very dirty location, with tons of trash (literally there are dirty mattresses, old couches, bags of trash strewn everywhere - it's awful. I've never been to Slab City, but it's one step up from how I imagine it is) and big shards of broken glass in most of the camping spots, so I wouldn't recommend parking in any of the single spots. We chose to stay in the big communal area close to the entrance, even though we hate being close to people, because it was the only place that didn't have broken glass, and we've just been waiting out the cooler temps at our higher elevation spots.
On the plus side, the road is well kept gravel and almost all of the spots are huge and level. We have a 36' Class A and we fit into all of the spots, with room enough for a shorter Class A, a Class C or several toads to fit alongside us. It's really too bad that people are so irresponsible and selfish, because if there were no trash or glass, I'd give this place 5 stars, for how giant the spaces are, how many spaces are available, how flat the spaces are and how well maintained the road is. Also, people keep to themselves and it's relatively quiet most days and nights, so it feels pretty safe. But again, BE SURE TO GET A PERMIT BEFORE COMING HERE, or you'll definitely get THE KNOCK.
If we hadn't gotten THE KNOCK, I would have given it 2 1/2 stars, with points taken off for the spots being full of broken glass and trash, but I only gave it 1 star because I'm feeling salty about the fact that it requires a permit. Lol.
GuideHighly recommended. Loads of space. Reasonable Porta potties. Gorgeous sunsets over Zion. And higher than Under Canvas just down the road.
ScoutGood spot, has an about 6 spaces to camp from.
