What you should know
Noise considerations: Some cabin sites experience road noise due to proximity to highways. At Cedar Canyon Retreat RV Park and Campground, "It is right off of Highway 14 and can be noisy, however we didn't have any issues sleeping," reports a camper who stayed for five nights.
Seasonal water conditions: River access points may have seasonal water quality issues. "On our recent trip (late Feb 2021) the river also had some kind of bad algae and you were warned to keep all pets, etc. out of the water," notes a Zion River Resort visitor highlighting changing water conditions.
Connectivity limitations: Wi-Fi and cell service vary significantly between properties. At Zion River Resort, one camper reported: "There is virtually no cell signal in Virgin. Certainly not enough to even begin to create a hot spot. There is wifi (and we even had a booster on our site)...but there was still terribly connectivity."
Tips for camping with families
Consider glamping options: For families seeking enhanced comfort, Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort offers elevated cabin experiences. "We finished out our Spring Break Outdoor recreation trip by glamping in one of the canvas tents at Ponderosa. I'd never been so excited to sleep in a bed. We slept with 5 people in each tent," reports a family who appreciated the upgrade from ground sleeping.
Look for pool access: Swimming facilities provide crucial entertainment for children. "We spent a good amount of time in the hot tub and pool which we had all to ourselves," notes a Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort visitor who valued the water recreation options after hiking.
Seek out activity centers: Properties with multiple recreation options keep children engaged. "The recreation room is fantastic for antsy teens! The on-site restaurant was tasty and a nice option if you don't feel like cooking yourself," mentions a family staying in Zion Ponderosa's "Cowboy Cabins" who appreciated the entertainment options.
Tips from RVers
Consider park location carefully: Sites near entrances may experience more traffic noise. At Cedar Breaks RV Park, a camper noted: "Our site was near the entrance, which meant we were close to Main St and quite a bit of traffic noise. Next time, I'd look for a place more towards the back of the park."
Check site leveling before booking: Some properties require significant leveling adjustments. "The Rv sites are crazy unlevel. We had to raise one side 6 inches to get sorta level," reports an RVer at St. George/Hurricane KOA Journey who struggled with the terrain.
Verify amenity accuracy: Listed amenities may not always function as advertised. "The pool was listed as heated but it's not. It hasn't been heated since we got here," mentions a St. George/Hurricane KOA Journey visitor, highlighting the importance of confirming facility status before booking cabin or RV accommodations near Kanarraville.
