Reservations for South Campground are available up to 14 days before your arrival and may extend up to two days beyond this 14-day booking window. For visitors to Zion National Park, South Campground is an ideal place to stay. Located near the park's south entrance, the campground is just a short walk from the main visitor center, the Zion Canyon Shuttle System and the adjacent town of Springdale. The canyon and most of the park's trails are only accessible by shuttle bus from approximately the end of February until the end of November each year. Season Dates: South Campground is open from early March to the end of October. Reservations are available up to 14 days before your arrival. For example, if you want to make a reservation for March 14 to 16, you may book this reservation beginning on March 1. Reservations that extend beyond the 14 day booking window cannot be altered. For reservations more than 14 days ahead of arrival, please check Watchman Campground which offers reservations six months in advance of arrival.
Hikers can access three trails directly from the facility: the Watchman Trail, a moderate trail that ascends the peak behind the campground; the Archeology Trail, which offers a light hike to an archeological site; and the Pa'rus Trail, a paved walking and biking trail that runs alongside the river, and the only trail in the park that allows dogs. The Zion visitor center and the park shuttles are a short walk from the campground. Many popular rock climbing routes are within a short shuttle bus ride into the main canyon. Use of OHVs and ATVs is prohibited in Zion National Park.
Zion is known for its dynamic geologic history. The South Campground and Amphitheater were built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the early 1930s. The project was completed and opened to the public in the spring of 1935. The Virgin River, a narrow but powerful river that has carved out the canyon over time, runs adjacent to the site. Cottonwood trees surrounding the campsite turn golden in the fall. Although the campground is moderately forested, most of the campsites are in partial to full sun but visitors can cool off in the cold river when temperatures peak during summer. Be Advised: The months of April and May bring an unusual infestation of Tent Caterpillars, which fall from trees onto tents, tables, and unsuspecting campers and can make it quite uncomfortable to sit outside. The months of July and August in particular bring a higher concentration of ants in the campsites, which seem to come out especially after the monsoons, but are present all summer long. August and September bring yellowjackets. Insecticidal treatment by visitors is not permitted.
The town of Springdale has shopping, art galleries, shower facilities, restaurants. equipment rental businesses, gas stations, markets, bike rentals, library and health clinic.

My second visit to Snow Canyon was just as rewarding as the first one. Gorgeous red rock scenery and impeccable maintenance for this lovely box canyon named after a pair of brothers with a last name of Snow.
During the second visit in May the weather was perfect for sleeping without the tent fly--- stars overhead.
Showers and bathrooms are first class.
Great tent section but strange RV section though--- looks like urban parking lot.
Excellent staff.
Tent sites are lovely except for site # 28 which is in a "hole".
Campground is 25 minutes from St. George.
Scout
Breath taking! Glam ping at its very finest!!!!!
RangerNicely kept state park, safe, on outskirts of St. George UT. RV spaces are CLOSE together. Tent sites are better, spacious. Showers in tent area have a pull-chain. From their website: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily Phone: 435-628-2255 Fax: 435-628-9321 Management: Kristen Comella, Park Manager Jesse Henderson, Assistant Manager. Great red rock/lava flow hiking trail options, most are easy/moderate, nice loop through Snow Canyon and around on mesa and back for road cycling. Great mtn biking in St. George area (including a roller coaster ride on hard packed single track: Bear Claw Poppy and Snake Pit Loop trails. Many other trails in area). Huntsman World Senior Games held 2 to 3 weeks in Oct. in St. George. Traffic in St. George can be heavy at times particularly during typical rush hour times.
GuideSnow Canyon is a still relatively unknown place near St George, Utah. There is SO much to do around there and there are great hikes that leave from this campground which makes it even better. Padres canyon and three ponds are two of my favorites. There is rocks to climb on right around the site and lots more trails within a 5 minute drive. There are great restrooms, large group areas that include a pavilion which is always helpful when it is pouring rain while you are trying to eat with a large group.
Ranger
Simple but decently spaced sites and a ton of lush trees make for a lush, friendly, and calm neighborhood feel. Conveniently located in amidst the offerings of Hurricane and nearby St George.
Great stop for a layover or re-supply night!
Scout
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this resort. All sorts of different styles of camping, glamping, or staying in a lodge available. Great amenities, although we spent so much time in Zion hiking that we didn't make use of even half of what there is to offer at the resort. We will be back.
Scout
This is a great campground. Backs up against the Virgin River. Just a few minutes from Zion NP and St George. Pet friendly and kid friendly. Lots of shade trees. Clean pool and hot tub. Market on site with very reasonable prices.
Traveler
Great amenities! I mean there was a pool, water, fire wood, bathrooms, showers (6min per token, one token per person per night) but very much glamping. Your site is a fenced in square in the middle of a field with maybe a planted tree. I had trouble finding kindling for our fire bc we were kinda in the middle of a parking lot. Also kinda pricey but it’s so close to Zion it’s worth it, especially bc you can park your car at the site then walk to the entrance of zion! Like 10-15min walk
GuideI had no idea this place existed and I’ve been driving through St. George for years. There is a lot of beautiful variety in the landscapes within the park. The park fee was $10 but if you camp at Snow Canyon, it’s included in the cost.
The sand pit reminded me of something from the Flintstones. A great spot to take your kids to play in this super soft, red sand. I would recommended taking a bike or a longboard (like I did in my video) and ride along the paved sidewalks. You get to be immersed in the vegetation and have a great view of the canyons. Definitely will be returning soon!
LegendMy wife & I stayed at Willow Wind RV Campground as we visited the St. George area. Normally, I prefer not to stay at private/fully established campgrounds because they tend to be glorified parking lots for giant motorhomes. To my surprise, the sites were well spaced apart and have abundant shade trees at each site. We went mid-week so there were a number of full time RV's staying there, but even so the place was not crowded at all. The grounds are very clean, and the staff are always cleaning up. They have clean, well kept bathrooms and showers along with an onsite laundry facility. All in all, nice place to stay for a stop through or multi-nights.
TravelerDefinitely not “dyrt” - this is top-notch glamping at its best! Stayed here 2 nights. It is spotlessly clean and comfortable, and service goes above and beyond. There was a mixup upon our check-in (not the fault of the resort), that was a bit sensitive. It was handled professionally, swiftly, and in a manner that left all parties completely satisfied. Staff is on top of every detail. We watched crews clean and prep sites as soon as a camper checked out, and were amazed by the thoroughness and thoughtful touches.
There are events, cookouts and evening ice cream, the store is enjoyable to browse, and the personal touch here exceeds expectations!
GuideWe 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.

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)
GuideWe stopped at Snow Canyon to split up our trip home. It's beautiful and reminded us of Kodachrome Basin, but St. George is HOT in late June. Phoenicians can take the heat, but we absolutely do no want it on vacation! We planned to stay for two nights, but when it was 97 degrees we figured we may as well just head for home. Our site had hookup so we could run the AC, but what's the point in being holed up in the Airstream?
We did take a hike after the sun when down around 8:30 pm. The petrified sand dunes were cool and the rocks across the street from the campground were fun to climb (you aren't permitted to climb the rocks in the campground).
As stated previously, the hookup sites are tight together, but 15A and B are around the corner from the "parking lot" ones. We plugged in but filled our tank with water as A and B share the spigot in the middle so you can't stay hooked up to the water. Also, bring your own shade canopy. Every site is pretty much in full sun.
Snow Canyon seems like a place we will revisit in a cooler season. Very pretty place, even if it is located at the end of a residential neighborhood.
GuideGreat campground tucked right pass the hustle and bustle in St. George. There are 2 entrances to the park, you want to take the one to the right per your navigation, the other entrance outs you far out from the actual campground entrance. Check-in was very easy and campground hosts were very present. Sites 1-14 are a tight squeeze and on top of each other. Try to book in the outer loop. Sites 15A, 17 & 18 are great spots with nice tent pads. I was in Spot 15B and I don't recommend it. It's basically an extension of 15A and luckily we had a small 13' travel trailer and even then it was a tight squeeze. We parked in as if it were basic parking lot spot. If you had anything bigger, you would basically be nose to nose with 15A. The tent pad was the only nice thing about my spot. The location of the campground is great as you are within walking distance to multiple hikes. The bathrooms were always clean and the shower were over on the other side of the campgrounds. On the side of the showers, there are some nice secluded spots (Sites 20+). Most are first come, first serve but no hook-ups. Will definitely be back only if we could book a different spot
GuideCould this RV Park be any nicer???? After spending weeks in the hot states of NM, AZ& NV this very shady site was a much needed retreat from the heat! We were site 74 at the entrance of the park for 7 nights. No issues or road noise bothered us. I could have become a longtime resident here easily. Easy check in. It was a level, concrete slab with patio. Dog run(rocky) but a long run for them to exercise. Very nice laundry room. AT&T and TMobile service. Walmart less than 4 miles. If you are a runner or biker, very close to a paved trail and neighborhoods to get your fit on. Zion National Park about 30 minute drive. Goes without saying, we would stay here again!
Must do The Narrows at Zion!! And get there early for parking and shuttle at the Zion Visitors Center. We got there at 6 am. I am not kidding. On Saturday, we visited Zion Brewery inside the Brew Pub had a good beer selection. We had a snack of amazing Brussel Sprouts at Camp Post Co. In Springdale. Amazing Service!! Had a fabulous brunch on Sunday at Oscar's Cafe! I got the Bean Burrito! It's enough for two people. Station II in St. George is a full service bar that was once a fire station. It has 3 levels of amazingness! The view from River Rock Roasting Company is something to see! Our Melted Tuna and Ruben sandwiches were great!
GuideWe needed stable, steady Internet for a month. While we regularly travel with two hotspots for Internet coverage, we barely needed to use them.
We stayed in one of the satellite friendly spots. Unfortunately, the space we were in was not so "friendly" due to the mature trees on either side. The satellite friendly spots are in the back of the RV park, and the aisle behind us had newer/younger trees that would not block satellite (but also would provide no shade).
Your experience at this park may vary. There were clearly a lot of monthly/semi-permanent residents at this park, especially on the back in spots at the edges. We would go back here, but we'd get a pull-through site next time.
Pros:
- Internet.
- Location in reference to Zion, Bryce, and Cedar Breaks.
- Post office (for general delivery) is 2-3 blocks away.
- Major restaurants and retail stores within 10-15 miles (St. George).
- At least 3 state parks within a 20 mile radius, two are water sport havens (Sand Hollow and Quail Creek) and the other is hiking trail nirvana (Snow Canyon).
Cons:
- No pool on site.
- Location of trees on RV space meant that we could not use our patio awning for the month. If we positioned our RV to allow us to use the awning, we wouldn't be able to park our tow vehicle at all.
- Our RV space was in the area with grass between the spaces. Sprinklers were programmed for daily delivery, and because of the width of the concrete pad, we were getting hard water stains on our RV (the sprinkler head pointed directly at our steps out of the RV). We noticed that on some of the "monthly" sites, there were plastic sprinkler head "deterrents" that would keep the spray from overshooting onto the concrete pad.
TravelerThe Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort is a large area with cabins, yurts, a lodge and a campground. 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 still had access to the resort features including a pool, restaurant, and activities to sign up for, which could be a nice feature for some people. The campground area had a small store and great bathrooms and showers. Our site was fairly small but large enough for our small tent and car as well as a fire pit and picnic table.
GuideIn my view, the best RV park in the Zion Corridor near Virgin Utah.
GuideI'd recommend this as an early spring camp outing. The temps climb quickly in Southern Utah in late spring. My kids had a blast in the sand dune area.
LegendLook, it's a very packed campground, but man is it nice. They have invested a lot of money to make sure you enjoy your stay while you explore Southern Utah
Scout2.5 mike hike in, 300 ft elevation gain, easy trail to beautiful overlook of southern Utah. Camp is a sandy open area next to the overlook and cliffs of Snow Canyon State Park. Free to camp. Great for backpackers!
Scout
I stayed here in passing to California from Utah and it was super comfy! The area I parked my car had rocks and a bathroom as well as shower house right next to it! No one was loud and the management was so sweet! No complaints at all.
ScoutSpent a month at Willowwind. Fantastic location just off the main road. Easy access to so much of what Southwest Utah has to offer. Some full-time residents here. Lots of friendly people. The nights are quiet and dark. Fabulous (and much needed) shade. Many of the sites have grass on each side. Hook ups are at the back of the trailer some distance away so you may need an extension cord. The office has some to share but they run out as well. Great little dog area so your dog can run off leash.
TravelerOur host greeted us right away when we showed up and was even able to accommodate our request to have our reservations together. Full bathrooms, warm showers, cooking supplies, wifi, coffee, firewood- basically everything was provided besides food.
The view here at night is AMAZING. There's barely any light pollution here so it was a stargazers dream. The owner was actually really nice as well. Will be back here next time we come to Utah!!
TravelerWe visited this campground two years ago when we were hiking in Zion. The staff was amazing and all of the amenities were spotless. I they had a really fun cabin with a pool table and games and movies that all the campers were allowed to use. We liked it so much that we went back last weekend and spent three days again. This time they upgraded the camping spots to the back and we had our own lot with electricity. I would absolutely recommend camping at this location if you are planning any trip to Utah!
Legend
Zion National Park lives up to its rating. This has to be one of the beautiful places in Western United States. The drive in from the Eastern entrance is simply incredible and full of epic photo ops. Zion reminds me of Yosemite Valley in some ways. The park is located near some large population areas in Southwest Utah and Nevada. So it can get very crowded at times, especially give the limited capacity of the roadways and parking. So you will need to plan your visit carefully.
The campground is easily accessible and located along the shuttle routes. The campground views are some of the best we have seen during our travels. The facilities are very good and hiking trails runs through the camp. Like many National Parks, you will not have much privacy at your site but the views and the hikes more than make up for it. The focus here is tent camping but you can park a small van or camper in many of the sites. The visitor center and park staff were outstanding. We also enjoyed the diversity of visitors from around the world. It’s clear Zion and Southern Utah is on a lot of bucket lists. This camp is very popular and full most of the year. So you will need reservations and a plan to beat the traffic coming into the park. We are planning to come back and spend more time in this beautiful place.
