"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."
$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"
$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."
$8 / night
"Close to freeway but quiet. Very clean, some trails. Need to register at kiosk, one bar T mobile not enough to pay at site."
"Walmart only 18 m away in Utah, Mesquite NV stores are the same distance west."
$59 - $79 / night
"This is a great, clean, relatively affordable spot to spend the night on your way to the sites in Southern Utah. This place is new, so it's very clean. No mature trees."
"Right off the highway so there is road noise but you’re close to town to stock up on essentials or get delivery!"
$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."
"At the site we were on there was a creek behind us which we loved and so did our dogs! Friendly neighbors! Beautiful place. Located close to Zion park. A lot of off road adventures near by"
"The park is 10minutes away from Zion National Park and about 2hrs from Bryce Canyon. The park is adjacent to the Virgin River. Walking path to the river is great for kids."
ScoutBeautiful 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.
ScoutThis place is off a road but doesn't have a lot of cars. The stars are amazing at night, and the daytime view is gorgeous.
GuideCamped at Watchman in late October early November. Experienced sunny days, cold nights and even a little snow. Regardless of the weather, Watchman is the best place to park your camper and venture out to experience the best of Zion NP. Easy short walk to the visitor center and shuttles. (On a side note the shuttles were a much better experience than we were expecting).
Camped in C loop. 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. Parking for an extra vehicle was close by and convenient.
Firewood and ice were available in Springdale via a 5 minute drive (you have to exit and reenter the park If you drive). Or it's a 10 minute walk via a bridge directly from the park to the store. Make sure you have your Parks pass or receipt to show the Rangers when you walk back across the bridge to the campground. We definitely recommend walking.
We did not visit any of the restaurants, shops or the brewery that were located a short walk away but will on the next trip. The hiking in Zion is top notch with trails for all abilities. Make sure you check the status as several of the trails were closed due to bridge repairs.
We experienced a first: It was Halloween and many of the kids camped around us dressed up in costumes and went trick or treating. Many campers put up festive lighting and one even set up a full size inflatable castle which was a big hit. Instead of expecting treats from unprepared campers, many kids took their own treats and handed them out. It was a lot of fun for all.
Watchman is difficult to get a reservation for but worth it. We can't wait to return.
GuideI had a superrrr short stay here, driving from CA, we ended up arriving around 12 am, and there were only one or two other people there! SO close to zion!!
TravelerThis is an incredible spot. I almost don't want to review it so it doesnt get more popular. Incredible views of zion and plenty of spots to pitch a tent and relax. Very clean besides the cow poop but it is their home. Porta potties spread out along the property. Don't sleep on this spot.
