    Zion Canyon Campground

    Incredible location to fully enjoy Zion National Park. It's worth it.

    Incredible location to fully enjoy Zion National Park. Very clean campground despite being full. The staff is friendly. The sites are very close to each other but they took care to keep the sewers away from our view. Air-conditioned bathroom. One free shower of 6 minutes max per night but it's enough. Shuttle to the park on the corner of the street or 10 minutes walk to reach the Visitor Center. Incredible view of the mountains including The Watchman!!

    South Campground — Zion National Park

    Great campground

    This campground is great for exploring Zion National Park. Each campsite has a fire pit and picnic table. There are restrooms with running water and electricity. Only a short walk from a shuttle station and Visitor’s Center. We also had deer around our campsite every morning and evening.

    Duck Creek

    Duck Creek, June, 2019

    We choose duck creek due to the proximity to Zion and Bryce Canyon and it was an hour or so from each. This was a nice quite spot, but at the end of June it was freezing! In the mornings it was around 37 degrees, I had to jump in the truck to warm up! No showers or cell service, the bathrooms had running water and were clean. We never found any showers or laundry in duck creek village as the site suggested and there was no one to ask. We found a nice RV park in hatch where we had showers for 5.00 each, laundry was also reasonable there. They had picnic tables and a fire pit which was nice.

    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)

    Zion River Resort

    Nice RV Park, wifi is slow though

    The park itself is nice. Full hook ups, heated pool and hot tub. Restrooms and laundry on site. Propane also on site. There are also a series of fenced in dog parks (3). So if you have dogs that don’t get along with other dogs that’s a plus because you can just go in a different one. The wifi is kind of hit or miss sometimes though. When the park is full at peak times good luck streaming anything. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t spring for the back in river spots unless you just want privacy behind you. The view for us isn’t that great as there is a rock wall behind you so your view is actually of that unless you have a very big rig. It is very close to Springdale and Zion National Park which is very convenient and why we chose it so four stars.

    Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort

    Stay here!

    Beautiful 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!

    Snow Canyon State Park Campground

    Not what we had hoped

    We reserved several nights here, based on the expectation of cell reception and electric. I'm working remotely, so these are must haves. When we got there, we found that there was zero service on either of our carriers, and no WiFi available.

    Only the RV sites have power, and the RV sites were pathetically small. They were basically parking spots with tiny shared picnic tables between them. It looked more like a Walmart parking lot than a campsite. Very disappointing.

    If you're able to go without power and internet, the tent sites were fairly nice. But if you need either, look elsewhere.


Guide to Leeds

Camping near Leeds, Utah sits at approximately 3,400 feet elevation and experiences typical high desert climate conditions with hot summers and mild winters. The area serves as a strategic basecamp for exploring both Zion National Park (30-40 minutes east) and the lesser-known Red Cliffs Conservation Area just minutes away. Primitive and developed camping options spread across the Leeds region provide varied overnight experiences with access to hiking trails featuring distinctive red rock formations and desert vegetation.

What to do

Explore dinosaur tracks: Within 10 minutes of Leeds, the Red Cliffs Recreation Area offers accessible hiking with prehistoric surprises. "There is more than Zion within 10 min of this campground. Red Cliffs Rec area has beautiful trails and dinosaur tracks," notes a visitor at WillowWind RV Park.

Take advantage of off-road adventures: The surrounding terrain offers excellent opportunities for ATV enthusiasts. "A lot of off road adventures near by," mentions one camper from Zion River Resort, highlighting the accessibility of trails from the camping areas.

Venture to less-crowded parks: While Zion draws crowds, nearby state parks offer similar scenic value with fewer visitors. "Beyond Zion, guests can explore nearby Quail Creek State Park and the Red Cliffs Recreation Area, both offering hiking trails and outdoor recreation opportunities," states a visitor, emphasizing alternatives to the national park.

Visit the historic sites: The Leeds area contains preserved historical structures worth exploring. A camper at Zion West RV Park notes, "Down the street you can check out some historical cabins that were from back in the day as well," referring to nearby pioneer-era buildings.

What campers like

Mature tree coverage: Many campgrounds in the Leeds area feature established trees providing natural cooling. "Despite basically being in a desert, the park had lush grass in every spot and a dense tree cover. It was about 10 degrees cooler in the park because of the shade from the trees," reports a visitor at WillowWind RV Park.

Access to water recreation: The Virgin River runs behind several campgrounds, offering a natural amenity. "The cool Virgin River behind our site was a nice place to soak our tired feet and enjoy a beverage after hiking in Zion," shares a camper from Zion River Resort.

Clean facilities: Many campers praise the maintenance standards at Leeds area campgrounds. "Super clean and it's been happening way longer than covid so you know people care about their property," mentions a visitor at Leeds RV Park & Motel, highlighting the consistent upkeep.

Reliable Wi-Fi: Working remotely while camping is feasible at certain campgrounds. "We needed stable, steady Internet for a month. While we regularly travel with two hotspots for Internet coverage, we barely needed to use them," notes a long-term camper, making Leeds suitable for digital nomads.

What you should know

Temperature fluctuations: The high desert climate means significant temperature swings between day and night. "With temperatures in the 90's all week, we appreciated the shade, the pool, and full hookups for AC," mentions a visitor who stayed at Zion Canyon Campground, highlighting the need for cooling options.

Water availability varies: Not all campgrounds offer the same water access. At primitive sites, water must be carried in, while developed campgrounds typically provide hookups. "Being out of touch with the world is fine, but it's still nice to be able to do some last minute park research," notes one camper regarding connectivity limitations.

Reservation timing matters: Many campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. "Reservations can be made two weeks before your stay, and you can only reserve three nights," explains a camper, detailing the reservation policies that can affect trip planning.

Cell service limitations: Coverage can be spotty depending on location and carrier. "Cell service was okay but goes in and out (1-2 bars for Verizon)," reports a visitor who stayed at Zion West RV Park, indicating the need for preparation if connectivity is important.

Tips for camping with families

Look for campgrounds with activity options: Some facilities offer additional recreation beyond camping. "Lots of fun for kids. Horseback riding, putt putt golf, pad boards, cabins, tents and RV sites," recommends a family who stayed at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort.

Consider glamping for first-time campers: Yurt camping near Leeds, Utah provides a comfortable introduction to outdoor experiences. "Full hooks ups if you have an RV, sweet little Cabins that are neat if your trying to hike near by and have somewhere warm to get back to," mentions a visitor to Zion West RV Park, describing the range of accommodation types.

Seek out campgrounds with shade: Summer temperatures can reach uncomfortable highs, making tree cover essential for families. "The spots 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," shares a camper at Zion River Resort.

Plan shorter hikes with water features: Children appreciate trails with water access points. "My kids had a blast in the sand dune area," mentions a parent who camped at Snow Canyon State Park Campground, suggesting features that keep children engaged.

Tips from RVers

Check site dimensions carefully: Some campgrounds have tight spacing that can challenge larger rigs. "Only the RV sites have power, and the RV sites were pathetically small. They were basically parking spots with tiny shared picnic tables between them," cautions an RVer at Snow Canyon State Park Campground.

Consider water management: Full hookups aren't available at all locations, affecting length of stay comfort. "Originally had planned on boondocking closer to Zion, but hot weather had us looking for hookup options," explains a camper who opted for Leeds RV Park & Motel during summer months.

Look for level pads: Many Leeds area campgrounds offer concrete pads for easier setup. "Each site has a lot of space with a fire pit and a table. It has trees scattered around but you can still see sky well if you are wanting to stargaze," notes a visitor describing site features.

Reserve early for peak seasons: Yurt camping and glamping options near Leeds, Utah book quickly during spring through fall. "Reserve early is a must," advises an RVer, emphasizing the importance of advance planning, especially for specialized accommodations like yurts or glamping tents.
