    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!

    Zion Canyon Campground

    Beautiful and convenient

    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 spots are narrow and not private, very close to neighbors. Campfires are allowed which is both a pro and con because the canyon tends to trap all the smoke and it gets difficult to breathe with so many fires. Many restaurants are within walking distance. It’s a great spot if you will be spending most of your time away from camp in the park or in town.


Guide to Rockville

Approximately 25 miles east of St. George at an elevation of 3,700 feet, Rockville serves as a gateway to Zion's less crowded areas. The Virgin River runs alongside many camping areas, providing natural cooling during summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 100°F. Yurt camping near Rockville, Utah offers a middle ground between tent camping and cabin accommodations with sturdy structures that withstand the region's variable weather patterns.

What to do

Hiking Water Canyon: Access this lesser-known trail about 30 minutes from Rockville. "Our host greeted us right away when we showed up and was even able to accommodate our request to have our reservations together. The view here at night is AMAZING. There's barely any light pollution here so it was a stargazers dream," notes a visitor at Zion Glamping Adventures.

Stargazing opportunities: The dark skies around Rockville make it ideal for astronomy enthusiasts. "We had a great time at site 2! The creek was wonderful to be next to and was so peaceful at night! The view here at night is AMAZING. There's barely any light pollution here so it was a stargazers dream," according to a camper at Kolob Gate Gardens.

Visit Kolob Canyon: Explore this quieter section of Zion with fewer crowds. "The host was actually really nice as well. Will be back here next time we come to Utah!!" shares a visitor who appreciated the proximity to less-trafficked areas.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high standards for bathrooms and showers. "The showers/bathrooms are very clean and you are given shower coins per person/per day. We lucked out with one spot being open but I would recommend booking ahead of time!" says a visitor at Zion Canyon Campground.

Shuttle access: Some locations offer convenient transportation to Zion National Park. "This campground is located within Zion National Park. We walked to Zion Brewery for a beer and to Zion Outfitters for a shower before flying home," notes a camper at South Campground.

Creek proximity: Many campsites feature water access for cooling off. "The creek was wonderful to be next to and was so peaceful at night! Our only regret was not doing it until the last night," reports a visitor who enjoyed the natural water features.

What you should know

Reservation policies: Many campgrounds near Rockville have specific booking requirements. "The campground used to be first come, first serve but is now reservable, with sites opening on a rolling basis two weeks in advance. This is great for a semi-spontaneous trip at a busy time of year - a little advance planning, but your site doesn't have to be booked months in advance."

Tent site variations: Quality and features vary widely between campgrounds. "Very dusty - too bright, no nature experience. Too crowded," warns one visitor about certain locations, while others note "There were many more rv sites that were available. The site were large enough for two tents, very dusty and some Rocky sites."

Seasonal considerations: Summer heat affects camping comfort significantly. "Despite being in the desert, there's grass and it's a very pretty campground," observes a camper at Zion River Resort, noting how vegetation helps moderate temperatures.

Tips for camping with families

Activity options: Some resorts offer family-friendly amenities beyond camping. "Great facility with plenty of amenities. Everything from tent camping all the way to cabins. Located to plenty of outdoor adventures," states a visitor at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort.

Swimming facilities: Pools provide relief from summer heat. "We spent a good amount of time in the hot tub and pool which we had all to ourselves. We then finished out the evening by cooking burgers over the fire and taking showers."

Tent spacing considerations: Sites vary in how close they place campers to neighbors. "The campground is best suited for tents and smaller trailers/RVs/van setups... larger rigs should seek out Watchman campground next door. The sites are pretty close together, amenities are minimal, and it is busy."

Tips from RVers

Park layout: Understanding site configurations helps with equipment positioning. "It may be because we had just come off of 5 days of dispersed camping but we found WillowWind to be an oasis. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is polite and helpful, you get a concrete pad and a nicely sized grass area," shares a visitor at WillowWind RV Park.

WiFi reliability: Connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds. "Pretty good size park. Lots of trees for shade. Pretty easy to back out 44ft 5th wheel in. Spots are a little skinny but the grass is green and the pads are clean. My only real complaint is the WiFi."

Full-time resident ratio: Some parks have permanent residents. "The campground is very open and is year round. There are permanent tenants. It's very well manicured and the bathhouses are clean. For the area and getting FHU, it's cheap. Everyone is super nice here as well."
