  Hurricane Cliffs BLM dispersed #49-53

  Nice site for Zion access

  Rocky roads to get in, but most vehicles and situations can do it. Loved staying here. Quiet, windy and easy access to Zion

  Zion River Resort

  Best RV Park in Utah

  This place is so nice! Spacious shower stalls with toilet, sink, bench and shower. Laundry facilities. Year round heated pool and hot tub. Store on site with decent prices. All spots have a tree with grass, picnic table and concrete pads. Also has small playground and dog park. Access to Virgin River with a primitive trail.

  Virgin River Gorge (BLM)

  Desert camping at its best.

  Level rv pads. Nice flush bathrooms. And dark sky's. There are plenty of hiking trails in the campground and on the blm area across I-15. We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed it. Now. Why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. You have to pay for camping online. If you want a first come site, you have to scan a q code at the entrance. Sounds easy right? Except there is only 1 bar of t-mobile cell service and it's almost impossible to complete the transaction. We booked a reservation before arriving so no issue for us. But many folks could not pay for a first come site. But camped anyway. A better system needed.

  Watchman Campground — Zion National Park

  Close to the visitor center and shuttles

  Great site, on dirt. Lots of trees around and gorgeous views. A few minutes walk from the shuttles, the visitor center and the town of Springdale

  Pyramid Ridge Campground

  AMAZING HIDDEN GEM CLOSE TO CEDAR CITY

  Found this place on the DYRT as we were looking for a place to check out when going from Bryce Canyon to Zion. And decided on Cedar city. Almost all RV sites in town were >$60/night, so we opted to dry camp. Pyramid Ridge was exactly what we wanted. And for only $12/night (plus a $8 reservation fee) it was well worth it. Highly recommend.

  Single River Site

  River with a dash of fall trees under the stars

  There’s a cluster of spots for both tents and trailers to post up. The river is beautiful but appears they prefer no access to it. The fence line is down so people go anyways. This place fills up on weekend so if you get there early in day you can pick a prime space. Fire pits are all over and used. We grabbed a spot right next to the bridge and water under the falls colored tree. Stars at night are stunning. It’s quiet but you do hear the occasion car passing by from the nearby road, yet the white noise from the river softens it. October gets around 50 at night so come prepared if you’re tenting. About 20 mins outside of Zion main entrance. The mountains surrounding are beautiful.

  Kolob Road BLM Dispersed Camp #2

  Wrong address and creepy people

  First of all, these GPS coordinates take you to a place called Kolob Gate Gardens, which you can also find on the Dyrt. Kolob gate gardens is private property, but on the outside of Kolob Gate Gardens, it is BLM land. The people squatting there who identify themselves as “hosts” want you to think it’s all private property and pay between $31 and $50 a night for their place, which is a complete dump. There there are several dogs on the loose who will come running at you. Mind you, we are staying on the BLM portion of this property. But you can’t tell other than that no one is staying on the private property - the outside edges of the property, where it is BLM, are full of campers and tents. Steve, the person who runs the Kolob gate gardens part, is nice enough but the place is run down. In addition, there is a guy who has been squatting on the BLM property ( by his own admission) who wanted us to leave because he thought we took too much of his space. We are parked prob at least 300-400 yards from him. I thought the coordinates given here would take us to Kolob dispersed site # 2 as advertised on this app but it is not clear. Do not pay no matter what they try to tell you unless you are on one of their numbered ugly sites. Their site says they offer toilets but they are portapotties that haven’t been emptied in years prob- and they tried to make a shower by diverting water from the creek near by. The shower is not functional now. Either way, this place is no good, whether you are on BLM land or not

  The only con I have is the road in . It resembles the the craters on the moon , we took it slow n easy and found a perfectly flat site . There has to be 20-30 sites available if not more .

  Pretty views on blm land

  Drive out a few miles past red cliffs reserve till you pass the “your public lands sign” and find pull offs with fire rings. Gorgeous views and we saw no other people but lots of trash/broken glass/shotgun shells. Had to keep our dog on a short leash but worked well for a quick dinner and place to crash for a night

  Zion River Resort

  A Lousy Trailer Park

  All this place is is a trailer park. It has no charm. Maybe if you have no understanding of what a campground is. The tent sites are just gravel with surrounded by brick walls. No trees no View. You have to be a simpleton to appreciate this.

  Sand Hollow State Park Campground

  Sand pit campground not a bad stay

  Geared towards buggies and jeeps but the lady at the desk put us on the outside camp spot which was nice. Clean showers (2) and bathrooms (4). No shade and the lake had a swimmers itch warning which is why it did not get 5 stars. Over all a nice 1 night stay. Close to town for food and close to Zion. Gate closes at 10pm so if your later than that look elsewhere.

  Excellent desert dispersed camping

  Many spots available. Trees for some shade and a small creek. Stayed on a Wednesday and there was BMX racing at night till 10pm could hear them from our spot but it wasn’t a bother to us.

  Hurricane Cliffs BLM Dispersed

  Spacious & Beautiful

  This is a great spot for easy access to Zion’s west entrance. It isn’t the quietest spot, lots of people pulling in to find spots late into the night, and you can see and hear your neighbors, but that didn’t bother us much personally. Everything is sandy, so be prepared to shake out your bedding before bed. The roads were not rough, just sandy and bumpy. Many spots to choose from, just look for campsite markers or fire pits. You can hear bomb testing from Nevada which was cool to us, but just a heads up.

  Old 91 Dispersed

  Tight turns getting back to the sites - Big Rigs use caution

  We stayed here for 1 night recently.  The site itself was fine, though there was a bunch of trash all over. Enough room for our 39ft rig and toad.  The road getting back to it was so twisty and tight that we scratched up the side of our rig. On the way out, we laid our outdoor rug on the bushes to keep from scratching again, so it is possible to get back here, but be prepared to work around that obstacle. 

  Also, there is a sign at the entrance warning that the area is used for "rodeo livestock" grazing, and to be cautious around them and not to approach them. We never saw or heard them, but it's something to be aware of.

  Big Rigs - Use sites #55 & #56

  I'm not sure why there isn't a camp location in TD for these two sites, but they are directly off of a single lane, paved road in the same area as the others.  These are the only sites I could get our rig to.  There is a brown sign on the side of the Hwy 9 that points to a historical marker, if i recall correctly, that you can use as a marker.  We have a 39ft Class A and had no trouble getting setup. Plenty of room, a fire ring and great views in the background. It's definitely dusty, but that is my only complaint. Close enough to Hurricane and Springdale to get any supplies you need, too.

  Hurricane Cliffs BLM Dispersed

  Great place to stay for Zion!

  We camped for two nights (Thurs and Fri) in early October. Attached are some photos from our site as well as a map of the camping area. There are 40ish camp sites along unpaved roads. The main road is unpaved but navigable by most any car. The secondary roads that lead to the individual campsites are a bit more treacherous. Would recommend AWD or at least not a super low car as it will likely bottom out. We did it slowly without issue in our Subaru. The camp sites are big enough for multiple cars or an RV. There are fire pits at each. About 100 yards or so between camp sites. We left our tent setup unattended Thursday day while hiking in Zion and had no issue.

  The drive to the park is about 30-40 minutes, longer depending on how strong your car is. We were averaging about 10mph on the unpaved roads.

  Overall a great place to stay! Beautiful stars, amazing land scape. Quiet and safe place to stay. Will definitely stay here again!

  Easy and Close to Zion

  It was pretty easy to find even in the dark which is when we rolled in. Pretty popular spot so you are kinda close to other people but is only 25 mins to Zion and plenty of spots. There is a little river that is so nice to go to sleep to and it is very quiet.

  Hurricane Cliffs BLM dispersed #13-#19 spur

  Treated us well

  It is easy to find and there are lots of marked camping spots. 14 day limit. What the other review said is true big ridges in the road making it a bumpy ride but if you take it slow and it’s dry you should be good. Probably wouldn’t take big rigs but there were lots of smaller and medium campers. The views are so beautiful! Surrounded by mountains The stars are amazing and it is nice and quiet.

  Watchman Campground — Zion National Park

  Gorgeous Site

  Gorgeous Campground and 100% worth it to stay in Zion NP. The park gets crazy busy by 8AM ish on the weekend so it made a huge difference staying in the park as it allowed us to be on the first shuttle bus out to the trails every morning. There are tons of mule deer around that definitely get fed so be careful having food out, even while you are cooking they are not shy at all!! Not much privacy but otherwise 10/10
