"Sites were typical National Park, small and close together but well positioned. We had close access to a modern restroom that was clean and well maintained. "
"Watchman is conveniently located within walking distance of the Zion National Park south entrance. The camp sites are shaded with trees and red gravel/sand ground structure."
$35 - $50 / night
"Perfect location just a short walk away from the visitors center where you catch the shuttle into the park, or exit to catch the shuttle to Springdale. Clean bathrooms. No shade at site 125."
"Located right inside of the National Park area just a few hundred yards from the visitor center this place is the hardest reservation to get at Zion because it is always filling up."
"Close to the road but not too noisy. It's about 45 minutes to the Zion visitor center. Gas stations & restaurant close by."
"Decent spot right off the highway. Lots of places to pull out off of the main dirt road. Camping next to the river keeps the sound of the near by highway almost un-noticeable."
"Lovely spot with a river running along one side, but only people with river spots have access to it! Conveniently within the nice town of Springdale and very close to park entrance."
"The location is definitely a highlight, it’s just a short walk to the park entrance, which made getting in and out of Zion really convenient. "
$40 - $54 / night
"Also a nice little restaurant within walking distance (right across the street)."
"Pool, laundry, snacks and not to mention walking distance to everything in town. There is a nice river running behind the camp ground"
"Site was easy to find and a great stop right outside of eastern entrance to Zion. Was close to road but traffic noise was minimal and not too distracting."
"About 15 minute drive outside of east entrance to Zion National Park. Accessibility was good (old broken up paved road that turns to gravel so no 4x4 needed). Some road noise."
"The campsite was calm and easy to drive into. Zion and Bryce are both close by too."
"There is a bit of garbage and stuff dumped over the edges if you look for it. No odour no flies. Nice breeze. Felt safe. Quiet as its buffered from the highway."
"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 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."
$62 - $80 / night
"Your camping spot is private and clean with wonderful views of Utah. The campground amenities, like the laundry and the market, work on the honor system."
"They have a beautiful property, that is surrounded by Gorgeous Utah mountains. Thursday nights they have a social, offering wine, beer, food and a great overall experience! Bathrooms are 5 Star!"
$28 - $200 / night
"This campground is quiet and out of the way from nearby Zion National Park."
"Each site has a picnic table, grill, fire pit, good parking, trees, and a water pump nearby."
TravelerConvenient spots to camp before driving into Springdale and Zion. Completely free, but few actual spaces. A little close to the road. If you can’t find a spot here, maybe check sheep’s bridge.
GuideI saw a few spots at the marker but in driving further to find a turnaround spot for my long van I found a few other spots. Found an open space with rock fire spots and was great. Super quiet and was outside burn restriction areas so we had a good fire.
Was in the 30s at night in June so be prepared!
TravelerI had an amazing time here, and I’m sad I only stayed one night. So serene, so quiet. Great spot with an easy drive to Zion National Park. Only 2 other campers nearby and everyone kept respectful distance for privacy. I parked up on a high-ground area and woke up to a beautiful view. Road coming in (before hitting gravel) is ROUGH. Was previously paved, now has a million potholes, so just drive slowly, and weeeeeave. If my minivan could make it out there just fine, I’m sure you can too! Enjoy the solitude.
ScoutNeeded a spot for an overnight on a road trip and this fit the bill. Quiet, decently dark (a commercial spot across the highway but not too much light, and good pull off.
TravelerTruly such a sick spot. Road is decent, pockets of deeper sand in certain areas, but nothing my minivan couldn’t handle. I drove about a half mile in on Hog Canyon Rd and got an amazing spot in a little grotto/canyon. It was beautiful. Everybody that went by on ATV’s were pretty chill (quite noisy, but I was there on a Friday & Saturday). My misfortune came truly at nobodies fault but my own. I had seen another couple hang their hammocks up to save their spot as they went to town to explore. So I did the same with my camping chair & mini table. Should’ve known better, but just a couple hours passed, and my things were stolen from my site…I was very sad & mad. Didn’t feel comfortable staying another night so I left. It is what it is. Don’t be silly like me. Keep your stuff tight, and you’ll likely really love this spot.
ScoutVery unclear. No one was here and the signs were very vague saying “public land” and also “PRIVATE NO CAMPING” just be warned it’s a bit confusing. We aren’t even staying here
GuideWe parked in the lot closest to the highway but there are more sites farther up a steep road.
ScoutWe loved our three night stay at Strawberry Point retreat! It was so nice to be tucked away on private land and still have full hookups. The RV site was level and the gravel drive made access pretty smooth. It was secluded and private, surrounded by trees and deer in the evening, but close enough to Duck Creek Village that we could grab a pizza or a coffee when we felt like exploring. We will definitely be back!
