Reservations for South Campground are available up to 14 days before your arrival and may extend up to two days beyond this 14-day booking window. For visitors to Zion National Park, South Campground is an ideal place to stay. Located near the park's south entrance, the campground is just a short walk from the main visitor center, the Zion Canyon Shuttle System and the adjacent town of Springdale. The canyon and most of the park's trails are only accessible by shuttle bus from approximately the end of February until the end of November each year. Season Dates: South Campground is open from early March to the end of October. Reservations are available up to 14 days before your arrival. For example, if you want to make a reservation for March 14 to 16, you may book this reservation beginning on March 1. Reservations that extend beyond the 14 day booking window cannot be altered. For reservations more than 14 days ahead of arrival, please check Watchman Campground which offers reservations six months in advance of arrival.
Hikers can access three trails directly from the facility: the Watchman Trail, a moderate trail that ascends the peak behind the campground; the Archeology Trail, which offers a light hike to an archeological site; and the Pa'rus Trail, a paved walking and biking trail that runs alongside the river, and the only trail in the park that allows dogs. The Zion visitor center and the park shuttles are a short walk from the campground. Many popular rock climbing routes are within a short shuttle bus ride into the main canyon. Use of OHVs and ATVs is prohibited in Zion National Park.
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.
The town of Springdale has shopping, art galleries, shower facilities, restaurants. equipment rental businesses, gas stations, markets, bike rentals, library and health clinic.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Grand Plateau RV Resort in Kanab, Utah, and I can’t say enough good things about this place. Here’s why it deserves a glowing review:
Stunning Location: Nestled in the heart of Utah’s red rock country, Grand Plateau offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. The sunrises and sunsets are nothing short of magical. Spacious Sites: The RV sites are generously sized, allowing for comfortable parking and outdoor living. Whether you’re in a motorhome or pulling a trailer, you’ll appreciate the ample space. Impeccable Facilities: The resort is brand new, and it shows. Everything is meticulously maintained, from the clean showers and restrooms to the well-stocked store. The laundry room is a bonus for longer stays. Friendly Staff: The staff members are warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area. They provided excellent recommendations for local hikes and dining options. Convenient Access: Grand Plateau is conveniently located near Kanab, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like Peekaboo Canyon and Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Peaceful Nights: The quiet surroundings ensure a restful night’s sleep. No highway noise or city hustle—just the sound of nature.

How ever you are traveling, Ruby's has an option for your accomodations. Just a mile outside of Bryce Canyon National Park, Ruby's is essentially a town of its own with multiple stores, restaurants, rentals and entertainment. Beautiful RV and tent camping sites with clean ammenities like laundry and bathrooms. Indoor and outdoor pools + hot tubs as well as great Wifi.
If you're in an RV, it's worth the extra few bucks for the upgraded sites, which give you more space and lots of trees.
GuideVery nice hot tub 104 degrees open till 10 pm. Super helpful staff. Pool is heated as well. Shuttle to Bryces from parking lot or drive in - very close 3 miles.
GuideThis site was great for our large group! Close to all hiking trails for Bryce Canyon. Short driving distance to restaurants. There was a pool a hot tub! The night sky was clear and BEAUTIFUL.
ScoutThird time to visit here (they give a discount for repeat customers). Staff is always friendly. Facilities are always clean. Nice heated pool area with hot tub. Some areas have nice shade trees and grass areas.
ScoutThis is a great campground. Backs up against the Virgin River. Just a few minutes from Zion NP and St George. Pet friendly and kid friendly. Lots of shade trees. Clean pool and hot tub. Market on site with very reasonable prices.

With its huge resort style swimming pool and hot tub. Pickel ball courts and corn hole boards. This place is a vacation destination in itself. Located less than 20 miles from Zion national park, it's a perfect place to start your adventures.
GuideWe stayed at Zion RV resort in Virgin, Utah just outside Zion National Park and nearby towns in October 2021. This is a very nice full-service RV resort that offers a variety of pull-through and back-in sites, and cabins. The sites are 50amp FHU, fairly long, and have nice spacing between sites. The park is pristine and offers a large inviting pool and hot tub, laundry room, playground, dog runs, propane fill station, and a real lodge with lots of apparel, home goods, ice, beer and other beverage choices. There is access to the Virgin River from the campground. We really enjoyed our stay here just minutes from Zion and other local attractions. The only downside was wifi coverage if you have Verizon. This was spotty and one bar at most. We highly recommend this RV resort. To see videos on this campground and others, visit our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.
GuideThis place is SO beautiful! Very incredible views, nice sites and the pool and hot tub were so nice, new and clean. My family loved it here. We stayed several days and went to Zion and Bryce from here. Perfect for days spent at parks and evenings in the pool!
TravelerThis campground was spectacular. I highly recommend staying here. the staff was great, everything was very clean. On weekends they have a grill and serve dinner. Their pool & hot tub area is clean and very nice. despite being in the desert, there’s grass and it’s a very pretty campground.
RangerWe had a great time at this RV park. The quiet time didn't start at 10 but that is ok with us. They have concrete sites with full hookups. They were very level by the way. Many things to do, Cornhole, volleyball, a pool, hot tub, ice cream, playground, basketball & a river.
RangerPark - especially if you’re in a site up the hill - has nice views with great amenities like clean bathroom/shower suites, a pool and hot tub, playground, and dog run.
Like many parks, spaces allow little privacy but the sense of community was nice in our visit and staff was helpful, welcoming, and accommodating.
TravelerWent to Bryce in June for the annual star festival, which was so unique. Tent sites are find-your-own-spot within certain regions. I wish we’d had time to check out Ruby’s pool and hot tub. Made a lot of use of their laundromat, and the 24 hour one next door. Clean bathrooms.
TravelerThis 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.
RangerWe stayed here in our class B van because we could not get a reservation in Bryce. The Bryce shuttle stops right on the property! Ruby’s has everything you can want. Friendly office staff, clean bathrooms, hot showers, propane, free Wi-Fi that works pretty well, a pool/hot-tub and more. Sites where we stayed (closer to the road) are well spaced in Ponderosa pines. We’d stay again!
Traveler
The tent sites are well spaced and surrounded by trees. The showers were clean and plenty of hot water. There was potable water and a dish sink at the shower house. The pool and hot tubs were an awesome bonus. I enjoyed eating at the restaurant onsite even though it has limited hours. The coffee shop is open all day though! Great place to stay you really can’t beat it at 14 bucks a night!
TravelerBeautiful resort, deer everywhere, tons of activities, mini golf, 2 pools and 2 hot tubs, heated bathrooms and showers, restaurants food wasn't very good but the staff was super friendly. It was really cold in October, snowed shortly after arrival. Our site was huge, had 2 fire pits and a picnic table. Not too far from the bathroom. We stayed at site 10 but 11 had the best views in my opinion. Observation point trail is here plus more!
RangerAs a solo woman, safety was my first priority and it felt very safe the whole time. It was, however, a bit pricey, and the sites were not very private. On the plus side, the pool and hot tub were amazing after hiking Zion, the adventure add-ons were incredible, and the accessibility to the park is hard to beat for this price range. I would go back but I also assume there are other places.
Traveler
We stayed for 3 nights in the Cave Dwelling unit. The site was very clean, they check on the hot tubs daily to make sure the water levels are correct and in good order. Staff was very quick to help with any issues. This was a very comfortable stay and close to the south entrance of Zion National Park. The only downfall was the view - there was construction going on across from the property but we would definitely stay here again.

Zion was a whole new experience!! The sunsets are amazing the hike were just as spectacular. Cabin rental or camper sites available outside the park trail head and is a great alternative if the NP is full.
RangerThis RV resort is breathtaking!! You get a taste of Zion the moment you arrive, and stay in awe of nature's beauty your entire stay. Even though this in close proximity to a number of parks, we had been to the parks already and just needed a weekend getaway, so we just stayed at the resort! The spaces are gravel and maintained well. They do have fire pits, which we enjoyed using every evening. The resort also has a big, beautiful pool and hot tub, a general store, and nice facilities. Besides the scenery that surrounded us, the best part of staying here was the hiking available. There is a nearby river, and we took the dogs down to explore with us a few times during our stay. Apparently they have a schedule of activities available, but we didn't do any of those. An absolute must if you are traveling via RV through this region!
LegendThis resort is very nice. Pricey, but it offers a lot. It is about 13 miles outside of Zion but they take reservations, other campgrounds nearby did not. The tent sites are right along the river which was wonderful. There is extra parking if you need it right by your tent site. You can play horseshoes, go swimming int he heated pool and use the hot tub. They encourage camp fires and have a gift shop. The showers run for 7 minutes, then you have to wait 5 minutes and then you can run them again, no coins needed. There are picnic benches at the campsites. Really enjoyed this campground.
LegendZion was a whole-nother experience!! Fire red sunsets, completely different setting from where I was use too and one of the tallest trail hikes and rock climb I have been on, seems that throughout the day the settings always change! Cabin rental or camper sites available outside the park trail head. Be prepared for masterpiece painted memories!!
ScoutThis site really has it all! The basics are great (hot showers, clean toilets, laundry, shop), and lots of extras (two hot tubs, two pools which were a blessing after long days hiking in Zion) and a really good restaurant.
There are also lots of activities on offer which we were less interested in but great if you are interested in that. I think you could do hikes of the Eastern part of the park from the campground. Do be aware that to get to the most popular hikes in the park, it is a 45 min drive back to the visitors centre and then the shuttle bus in peak seasons. Alternatively this site is well positioned for quieter but still beautiful hikes of the East rim.
GuideWe 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.
