Best Cabin Camping near Gunlock, UT

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Cabin accommodations near Gunlock, Utah include furnished options at Gunlock State Park Campground and St. George/Hurricane KOA Journey. Most cabins provide basic amenities such as beds, electricity, and air conditioning, with some offering additional features like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and outdoor picnic areas. "Check in was fast and smooth. Got the key and remote for the tv then head to the cabin that was around the way from the office/pool area. Sheets was provided for the queen bed but not the bunk beds," noted one camper about their stay at Zion River Resort. Cabins typically include televisions, heating systems, and access to campground facilities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and communal bathrooms.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Smaller units accommodate couples or solo travelers, while larger cabins sleep families with bunk bed configurations. Most properties require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months when Zion National Park visitation is highest. Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins welcoming dogs for an additional fee. A visitor commented, "The campground is not located inside Zion park but it's so close that you can easily walk to the park entrance. Campers have access to the hotel pool, laundry, kids playground, and WiFi which was surprisingly fast." KOA-style cabins offer standardized amenities with predictable layouts and furnishing levels.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. While some premium cabins provide bedding, many do not, as one camper noted: "Sheets was provided for the queen bed but not the bunk beds. Which was fine because we were ready with our own sheets." Kitchen facilities vary widely, from simple microwaves to full kitchenettes with refrigerators and stovetops. On-site camp stores at locations like Zion River Resort stock essential items, though selection is limited. Nearby Hurricane and St. George offer more comprehensive shopping options for groceries and camping supplies. Cabins with air conditioning provide welcome relief during summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 100°F.

    Cabin review

    Check in was fast and smooth. Got the key and remote for the tv then head to the cabin that was around the way from the office/pool area. Sheets was provided for the queen bed but not the bunk beds. Which was fine because we were ready with our own sheets. Rest room and shower was right in front of our cabin, so we didn’t have to walk far. Good ac unit and lighting the with number of windows they got. Overall a great experience from our 1 night stay.

    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.

    Westside Campground — Sand Hollow State Park

    Sand Hollow State Park

    Sand Hollow is a beautiful man made lake with bright red sand and clear waters. This park allows for motorized and non motorized boats, off road vehicles, rentals, camping and dogs.

    There are very limited spots by the water to camp, and fires are only allowed in specific fire rings. Outside firewood is not allowed. There is also an entrance fee to enter the park, National Park Passes will not work here.

    There are nice day use areas, and areas designated for camping. Tents and RVs allowed, although most access roads are covered in thick sand. I would not recommend taking a low clearance vehicle. There is also a small restaurant for food and vault toilets for use.

    You cannot camp around the entire lake. The back portion is fenced off, only allowing half of the lake to be occupied. I chose to camp as far away from the other campers by the backside of the lake. It was a very beautiful, sandy spot right by the water. However, it seemed like the other people staying at the park had no sense of respect or personal space. We set our tent up around 2:00pm and we constantly had ATV's, families with dogs off of the leash, fishermen etc walking/driving right through our site. This continued even through the night until quiet hours. Light and sound travel very well over this lake, so someone drunkenly singing with their buddies across the lake sounds like they are right next to you. People are driving their cars at all sorts of hours blinding you with the reflection off of the water. There are Park Rangers that drive around but don't seem to do anything. There was litter everywhere hidden in the sand. There are a couple of trees and bushes that provide some shade but I would recommend bringing a shade tent. There are also a couple of metal tables with attached chairs at some campsite locations.

    This would be a beautiful location to visit for the day with your family. I would not recommend camping here overnight unless you don't enjoy personal space, respectful neighbors, quiet hours or humming RVs.

    Water Canyon Cliffside Cabin L and L

    Stunning views of the Canaan Mountains

    I'm a team member at The Dyrt kicking off the review section with some info from the campground's website.

    Water Canyon Cliffside offers a secluded wilderness experience. Each tent site has space for parking, a fire pit, and picnic table. They also have a mini cabin and a canvas tent available to stay in! 

    There are hiking trails within walking distance, mountain biking trails nearby, and Zion National Park is only an hour drive away!

    South Campground — Zion National Park

    Book ahead of time!

    This is by far on of my favorite National Parks. The campground is fairly large (100 + spots) but very hard to secure a spot, make sure to book ahead of time! Zion has some rules about booking ahead so check the website to know when to make a booking. We managed to get a spot last minute but it was a walk in spot. These are a problem if you have a lot of stuff but you can avoid some crowds with them. The views right from the campground are incredible and the rest of the park is overwhelmingly fun.

    The campground has plenty of vault toilets, picnic tables, water and trash bins. There are other campgrounds in the park as well as outside if this is full. Caution that the grounds outside the park can be pricey and are nothing special.

    Zion River Resort

    Wonderful Camping Experience!

    We camped in one of the cabins for the first night because there was no availability for the campground sites. It was entirely worth the money! The back bunk beds were super cozy & we enjoyed a bed after being in a tent for the precious week. The campground site the next night was wonderful as far as campgrounds go. The ground was level & covered with fine gravel. The sites are not very big & you’re right up next to other campers; but it’s all you need when you spend the majority of the day out in Zion & just come back to eat dinner & sleep. The electricity was nice to have for charging laptops to import/edit photos of the day’s adventures. The showers were a real treat because they were included with the campground. The bathrooms were in the same room as the showers & there were only two rooms, so if two people were showering, you’d be out of luck for using the restroom anytime soon. Other than that, everything was a such a positive experience. There was free coffee in the main building & also a little shop for anything you may have forgotten—the nearest store is about 20 minutes away. All in all, this place is amazing & I would highly recommend.

    Zion Ponderosa Resort

    Lovely tent campsite with a picnic table and fire ring. Excellent shower room and restroom with laundry. Full service resort including restaurant on grounds. No cell signal but decent WiFi EXCEPT in the campground. There were many sites for RV’s, vans, and tents. They had full hooks available. Lots of room between sites. I enjoyed my stay.

    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.
