"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."
"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. "
"At the site we were on there was a creek behind us which we loved and so did our dogs! Friendly neighbors! Beautiful place. Located close to Zion park. A lot of off road adventures near by"
"The park is 10minutes away from Zion National Park and about 2hrs from Bryce Canyon. The park is adjacent to the Virgin River. Walking path to the river is great for kids."
"Sandy and right off road. Road noise minimal if any after dark."
"Great access to Zion. There were a bunch of open sites when we got there (4pm) some were along the stream too. We have a Honda Fit and we’re able to camp just fine. Saw a few smaller pull behinds."
"All around a great spot. Right next to the creek, generally quiet with few other campers. Nice and dark at night for star gazing, and shade trees for during the day."
"Spots tucked next to trees that shelter from sunrise, if you’re a late riser ;)"
$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"
"Cool biking, hiking and off-roading trails. Peaceful and secluded as you can look off into the mesas and up at the best view of the stars I've seen."
"The sheeps bridge road that gets out through the campsites has camping options from right off the highways to deep into the fields by the virgin river canyon."
"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."
"Very secluded area with trail nearby. The emplacements away from the main road can be very muddy and difficult to access with a regular car. Fire ring, peaceful and gorgeous views. Near Zion."
"Reasonably close to the south entrance of Zion National Park, about 17 miles. Mostly level, dirt parking area with a couple dozen sites or more."
TravelerOriginal plan was to camp inside the park but failed to secure a site. That led us to finding this Rv park. Very friendly staff, clean facilities, and mature trees! With temperatures in the it's all week, we appreciated the shade, the pool, and full hookups for AC. The cool Virgin River behind our site was a nice place to soak our tired feet and enjoy a beverage after hiking in Zion. We preferred the pace of Virgin over Sugardale, and it was only 20min away.
ScoutPyramid was a good place to take a break as we moved across Utah. We were there for 1 night in May. There is a well serviced bathroom. No water or electricity. It's very close to stores and services, although you'd never know it. It seems very remote.
GuideWe explored Zion and the park is beautiful but it is super crowded. This campground’s location to the park can’t be beat and the facilities are clean and well maintained. It is costly but sometimes the convenience has a value all it’s own.
ScoutGood campground, clean bathrooms. Not a lot of shadow.
ScoutWe recently stayed at Zion Canyon Campground and had a mixed experience. 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.
That said, the campground was very full, and the campsites are packed in pretty tightly. Some are extremely close to each other, so don’t expect much privacy. It was also pretty loud during the day with lots of kids running around, which might be something to consider if you're looking for a quieter stay. On the positive side, the campground provides two shower coins per night, which was a nice touch, and pets are allowed.
The onsite shop was well-stocked with fair prices, and the check-in process was quick and easy. Our site had full hookups including water, electricity, and sewer, though the sewer connection at our particular site was placed a bit far away, which made it a little inconvenient.
Overall, it’s a solid option if you want to be as close to the park as possible and don’t mind a busier campground environment. The price is relatively high for what you get, but the location may make it worth it for some.
TravelerBeautiful spot in a small canyon. There are many spots along the black top road"Kolob Ter Rd, out of Virgin, and many were already taken as it was Sunday of memorial Day weekend. The dirt road off the black top to the campsite is rough, we have a pickup with slide-in camper, I wouldn't take anything bigger on this road.
ScoutAwesome RV Park just off I15. Park is great for Vets as paying cash will get you a night for $30. I arrived to spend 1 night but ended up spending 4 as it gave me the time to restock/refresh as I am an avid boonedocker. 6 miles from Cedar City to all that you will need. Lots of trails to hike or bike. Showers, laundry and restrooms available and very clean!! I will definitely be staying here again!
TravelerMy husband and I have been staying here for 10 days and we were planning on staying another 2 days, before moving on to cooler temperatures. Well, this afternoon, we got the dreaded knock from a police officer and a Ranger, who told us that this is state trust land, not BLM land, and a permit is required to stay here. We haven't seen any signs saying anything about that, but after reading the reviews here, it looks like one person mentioned it.
It's a busy, very dirty location, with tons of trash (literally there are dirty mattresses, old couches, bags of trash strewn everywhere - it's awful. I've never been to Slab City, but it's one step up from how I imagine it is) and big shards of broken glass in most of the camping spots, so I wouldn't recommend parking in any of the single spots. We chose to stay in the big communal area close to the entrance, even though we hate being close to people, because it was the only place that didn't have broken glass, and we've just been waiting out the cooler temps at our higher elevation spots.
On the plus side, the road is well kept gravel and almost all of the spots are huge and level. We have a 36' Class A and we fit into all of the spots, with room enough for a shorter Class A, a Class C or several toads to fit alongside us. It's really too bad that people are so irresponsible and selfish, because if there were no trash or glass, I'd give this place 5 stars, for how giant the spaces are, how many spaces are available, how flat the spaces are and how well maintained the road is. Also, people keep to themselves and it's relatively quiet most days and nights, so it feels pretty safe. But again, BE SURE TO GET A PERMIT BEFORE COMING HERE, or you'll definitely get THE KNOCK.
If we hadn't gotten THE KNOCK, I would have given it 2 1/2 stars, with points taken off for the spots being full of broken glass and trash, but I only gave it 1 star because I'm feeling salty about the fact that it requires a permit. Lol.
ScoutVery nice place with full hookups. They have a pool/jacuzzi that is opening soon. We stayed here as base camp and spent our days 20 minutes up the mountain skiing at Brian Head. Great stay
