  Ponderosa Grove Campground

  Great location

  20 minutes from Kanab, 40 minutes from Zion, and 90 minutes to Bryce Canyon this location gives you options. Only $5 a night, there are 28 campsites and additional groups sites available. Not sure many people know about this place, but I stayed here 3 nights and there were still spots available each night. There is a dumpster, but no trash cans, please leave no trace.

  Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort

  Great location, beautiful, staff is awesome

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this resort. All sorts of different styles of camping, glamping, or staying in a lodge available. Great amenities, although we spent so much time in Zion hiking that we didn't make use of even half of what there is to offer at the resort. We will be back.

  Zion Canyon Campground

  Glamping

  Great amenities! I mean there was a pool, water, fire wood, bathrooms, showers (6min per token, one token per person per night) but very much glamping. Your site is a fenced in square in the middle of a field with maybe a planted tree. I had trouble finding kindling for our fire bc we were kinda in the middle of a parking lot. Also kinda pricey but it’s so close to Zion it’s worth it, especially bc you can park your car at the site then walk to the entrance of zion! Like 10-15min walk

  Zion River Resort

  This place is outstanding!

  Definitely not “dyrt” - this is top-notch glamping at its best! Stayed here 2 nights. It is spotlessly clean and comfortable, and service goes above and beyond. There was a mixup upon our check-in (not the fault of the resort), that was a bit sensitive. It was handled professionally, swiftly, and in a manner that left all parties completely satisfied. Staff is on top of every detail. We watched crews clean and prep sites as soon as a camper checked out, and were amazed by the thoroughness and thoughtful touches.
  There are events, cookouts and evening ice cream, the store is enjoyable to browse, and the personal touch here exceeds expectations!

  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.

  Zion West RV Park

  Convenient location to Bryce and Zion

  I have stayed here twice in 2020. Once in January and again in July. I haven’t stayed in an rv but they do have glamping tents and tiny houses to rent on Airbnb for reasonable prices.

  This place is about 45 minutes from Zion National park and 2 hours from Bryce Canyon.

  There’s a laundry room for you to do laundry (bring your own quarters) and the bathrooms are nice and clean. You don’t get as much privacy for the showers as I’d prefer but it’s not that terrible since I think only Airbnb guests uses the restrooms and not the rv guests. WiFi was available for us which helped plan our hikes.

  There are tables around the laundry room building to sit at and relax. It’s a very quiet campground too which made sitting out in the evening very peaceful. The owners are so nice and accommodating. Cell service was okay but goes in and out (1-2 bars for Verizon)

  Ruby's Inn RV Park and Campground

  An experience

  So, take Ruby's with a grain of salt. It's historic, big, and tourist-y. We camped in the tipi (most tipis are ON the highway, so request tipi 10) that was by the lake. The tipi is probably the only secluded camping available. It was fun and pretty comfortable. It was cool at night in June, unlike all the other places we have camped in Utah. Sadly, there are so many lights at Ruby's, you can't see the stars. But, the atmosphere at Ruby's is more like being at an attraction than being outside in nature. Bathrooms are too small and there aren't enough of them to support the campground. There are shuttles to Bryce Canyon park available from Ruby's. There are shops, groceries, and anything you need at Ruby's. If you're used to nice mountain bikes, do t get your hopes up with the rentals. They are in bad shape. Also, there really are not mountain bike trails in the area. Even mountain trails that allow bikes are really horse trails and terrible to ride.

  Bryce Canyon Yurt

  Great place to take it easy

  Did you know that a lot of Airbnb listings have their own websites OFF of airbnb where you can book them for much cheaper since you aren’t charged an Airbnb service fee? I did, but totally forgot to check for this yurt. Shoot! 

  We checked in to the yurt on our way to Bryce canyon which is half an hour away. The location was tough for us to find, especially considering that we had some traffic behind us so we couldn’t slow down too much as we looked for the driveway. The sign that they have does not have great visibility so we definitely missed the driveway going past it both directions. It definitely helps to familiarize yourself with the buildings on the other side of the road as landmarks if you are going to be coming and going frequently from here. We used a“no passing zone” triangular sign that was kind of by the driveway as our more immediate landmark. 

  Jeannie and her husband live in the center yurt and are friendly, but they give you your space. Of all of my airbnb experiences where the hosts were on-site they were by far my favorite. It is really hard to find hosts that strike the perfect balance of friendliness. Apparently the 3 yurts on the property used to be an art studio and they have converted the two side yurts into liveable spaces. We stayed in the studio yurt which was cheaper, the deluxe yurt is more spacious and includes a couch and its slightly more removed from Jeannie’s yurt so your deck is more private.  A mini-fridge, microwave, and other kitchen small appliances that we didn't use were available.  

  The BEST part of this yurt was the view from the deck. We passed up a sunset in Bryce so that we could hang out here instead. My husband spent a significant amount of time taking slow-mos of their hummingbird visitors- there were A TON of them. The other great thing is that there is a washer and dryer. It took me a while to figure the washer out since water would not run unless the lid was closed. It was great to be able to get laundry done in the middle of our trip while we could lounge on the bed watching tv instead of having to go to a laundromat- there is also wifi available! We would definitely stay here again, and if you look at their website you can see some other nearby cabins/tipis that are available to rent.

  Duck Creek

  Cool respite in a hot August

  I tent camped at Duck Creek in Aug. 2020. It was cool and fresh. I could’ve camped around Kanab but an elk bowhunter in a bar in Alpine AZ recommend Duck Creek instead because Kanab would be hot.

  Not for tents

  For tent camping this place rates a zero, rough gravel or thorns under your tent. It rates  stars for the location and the restroom/showers. We couldn't stay and found a hotel in Kanab instead.

  Ponderosa Grove Campground

  Wish there were more of these low cost campgrounds!

  There is a road through the American southwest that leads visitors on a “must-see” destination check list. From the Grand Canyon National Park, in AZ to Zion and Bryce in Utah, drivers speed through on their way from one Instagram-able spot to the next. Some of these motorists may notice the small sign just north of Kanab, UT, pointing toward the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, but most just drive on by and head to the bigger parks.

  While there is good camping in the SP campground, much of it was dominated (read: packed to the gills!) by visitors with OHV equipment– which is allowed in the State Park in certain areas. We chose to camp outside at a nearby BLM camping area a short 10-mile drive away. 

  Ponderosa Grove Campground is the kind you enjoyed as a kid, with sites well-spaced out and offering a modicum of privacy. There is only one small loop for bigger RV’s but lots of room for folks with a van, camper or even a small tent. Remember those? We were joined by many other people who seemed to be making the detour to this incredible location as most folks only stayed one night.  Bring your solar panel as there are no hook-ups.  Very few people were running generators which was awesome to not hear!

  There is no water at this camping area, which might explain the ultra-low-cost of one night’s stay. However, the pit toilets were clean and lovely. When we visited, in 2021, this campground looked practically brand new.  And, you can get a shower pass at the state park for a few bucks...totally worth it after rolling in the sand all day.  

  The nearest town is Kanab Utah, with all the usual suspects of groceries, laundry and liquor. We highly recommend Escobar’s Mexican Restaurant– excellent! Be sure to swing by Best Friends Animal Sanctuary for a tour of this amazing facility.

  Quiet and nice location

  Nice simple campground. Great location near Kanab but far enough to escape city noise. Two bathroom facilities, one with a shower. Warm water only lasts about 5 minutes but that's all you need. Nice wide parking spaces.

  Great place for smaller campers and vans

  Had five glorious days here in Kanab, at Simple life. Cleanest, restrooms, fastest Wi-Fi, and best host.  They cater to smaller campers and vans like ours, so we made a number of friends and travel mates.  Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

  Crazy Horse RV Resort

  Must visit!!

  We stayed at Crazy Horse for one night while visiting Zion. It’s located in the gorgeous little town of Kanab. We purchased a campsite just to park our van after a long day of hiking. The staff was so friendly in the front office, they made you feel like family! And their dogs are so cute. We were able to take unlimited hot showers included in our nightly stay, the bathrooms were so clean and felt like a rustic spa. The laundry was coin operated, attached to the office. We walked to Escobar’s Mexican restaurant right next door for dinner and omg it was amazing. Best salsa we’ve ever had. We heated up leftovers the next morning in the office microwave. The best part of it all was the incredible scenery surrounding this rv park, red rock mountains everywhere and hiking trails. Kanab is a special town with friendly people, great shopping and food. Visit the shop Gifts of the West, owner was super sweet and we bought some beautiful native items. This place is a gem!

  Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort

  Campground separate but with access to the resort

  The Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort is a large area with cabins, yurts, a lodge and a campground. The campground is located away from the resort features which we appreciated, so that is was a little more of an authentic camping experience. We still had access to the resort features including a pool, restaurant, and activities to sign up for, which could be a nice feature for some people. The campground area had a small store and great bathrooms and showers. Our site was fairly small but large enough for our small tent and car as well as a fire pit and picnic table.

  Simple campground with full hookups

  Great campground. It’s a no frills campground but it has everything we need. Full hookups, clean showers with hot water, 2-3 bars Verizon, about 4 miles south of Kanab. This looks like a relatively née campground. On-site host. Reservations were easy to make. This is a great place to set up as home base for a few days while you explore the area.

  Awesome stay

  I have visited many parks. I rarely find a camp host eager to help solve any problems you are experiencing during your stay . The facilities are clean and modern. Big open area for off lease fun with your pets. Plenty of fresh water at your disposal. Want a night fire,grab a pit and some Wood from the common area a roast The marshmallows umm delicious. Any thing like groceries, gas, gear. kanab is 5 miles away. Awesome views from camp. If you are a bird lover . There is a creek that runs the back length of the off lease area. Lots of trees and wildlife. Final thought. The night sky star gazing is amazing with milky way in full glory possible because of very little artificial light in the area. Diffently looking forward to coming back in the spring.

  Ponderosa Grove Campground

  Clean, Organized and Cheap.

  This is a relaxing setting among  towering Ponderosa Pines.  During our travels over the last two years we've stayed at this campground for about four weeks.  I've seen it fill up only a few times - most of the time it's been close to empty.

  With our National Park Pass it's only $2.50/night. We have always stayed in the RV Loop with our 21' TT and most of the sites could accommodate much larger rigs.  They all have picnic tables and fire rings.

  There is NO CELL SERVICE here. Hiking to the top of the sand dunes across the street will sometimes get a faint Verizon signal. Usually we drove down the road about 5 miles to get a signal.

  There are new pit toilets in the group camping area and another set in the back loop.  There are dumpsters near the entrance.  No water, no dump station, no hookups of any kind.  For the cost of Day Use admission ($10) at the nearby Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park you can use the dump station and fill your water tanks.  $2/person for a hot shower.

  While there is a lot of free, dispersed camping all along Hanson Road, the mostly level sites here are probably worth $2.50 a night.  It was a great home base for us.  We did a day trip to Bryce, several trips to Zion, the Wave lottery, and many points of interest in the Kanab area.

  Beautiful campground with tall pine trees & clusters of aspen. Well-spaced & large sites with level concrete driveways (good for RV parking) & concrete picnic table/fire pit areas. Clean restrooms, water on taps, close to Duck Creek Reservoir. Friendly hosts & very affordable. Close to many hiking trails. Love Utah's Forest Service Campgrounds!

  Amazing!

  Our host greeted us right away when we showed up and was even able to accommodate our request to have our reservations together. Full bathrooms, warm showers, cooking supplies, wifi, coffee, firewood- basically everything was provided besides food.

  The view here at night is AMAZING. There's barely any light pollution here so it was a stargazers dream. The owner was actually really nice as well. Will be back here next time we come to Utah!!

  South Campground — Zion National Park

  Incredible Site

  Zion National Park lives up to its rating. This has to be one of the beautiful places in Western United States. The drive in from the Eastern entrance is simply incredible and full of epic photo ops. Zion reminds me of Yosemite Valley in some ways. The park is located near some large population areas in Southwest Utah and Nevada. So it can get very crowded at times, especially give the limited capacity of the roadways and parking. So you will need to plan your visit carefully.

  The campground is easily accessible and located along the shuttle routes. The campground views are some of the best we have seen during our travels. The facilities are very good and hiking trails runs through the camp. Like many National Parks, you will not have much privacy at your site but the views and the hikes more than make up for it. The focus here is tent camping but you can park a small van or camper in many of the sites. The visitor center and park staff were outstanding. We also enjoyed the diversity of visitors from around the world. It’s clear Zion and Southern Utah is on a lot of bucket lists. This camp is very popular and full most of the year. So you will need reservations and a plan to beat the traffic coming into the park. We are planning to come back and spend more time in this beautiful place.

  The Riverside Ranch

  Great Location for National Parks

  Very good park in the small town of Hatch, Utah. Clean quiet park with full hookups and all the necessities. Bathrooms and showers were good and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Recreational stuff at the park was good although we were gone during the day visiting local national parks. Can be very windy at times so awnings stayed in the whole stay(4 nights). Pretty level sites on gravel. Perfect location to do Bryce Canyon(45 min) and Zion(90 min to East entrance) We camped at The Riverside Ranch in a Motorhome.
