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.

This place is so nice! Spacious shower stalls with toilet, sink, bench and shower. Laundry facilities. Year round heated pool and hot tub. Store on site with decent prices. All spots have a tree with grass, picnic table and concrete pads. Also has small playground and dog park. Access to Virgin River with a primitive trail.
Guide
So close to Zion this is a great free camping spot. The access road is a bit bumpy as the pavement is potholed but no trouble in our Class C. Lots of spots to choose from and some great views to be had. Highly recommend
Scout
Great place to stay, we were able to get laundry done they had great clean facilities as well as a dog washing station to get the dogs all cleaned up to, we will be back!
ScoutAll this place is is a trailer park. It has no charm. Maybe if you have no understanding of what a campground is. The tent sites are just gravel with surrounded by brick walls. No trees no View. You have to be a simpleton to appreciate this.
GuideNice park glad to see real grass and shade. Nice facility
Guide
Super crowded campground, but makes Zion activities super easy. For the price I’d like to see much nicer bathrooms and showers. Also you will meet your neighbor as they pack it in. Still had a great time, but paying mostly for location not nice amenities
LegendAbsolutely phenomenal views of you back up to the river. All the sites are surrounded by amazing scenery, the riverfront sites are just extra! We had full hook ups on the river and would return over and over again! Very nice staff, easy check in, clean campground with amenities (we didn’t use them tho) and very quiet. You’d better have an awning and some AC tho…this sun is brutal. The only CON I can tell you is some of the sites are back in and some pull in and some pull through so you can get a “buddy site” without knowing it and that cuts waaaaaay down on privacy. Thankfully our neighbors were very pleasant and almost everyone is gone during the day anyway. Overall would 100% recommend staying here and we will be back!

We stayed for 3 nights in the Cave Dwelling unit. The site was very clean, they check on the hot tubs daily to make sure the water levels are correct and in good order. Staff was very quick to help with any issues. This was a very comfortable stay and close to the south entrance of Zion National Park. The only downfall was the view - there was construction going on across from the property but we would definitely stay here again.
GuideWe spent one night in this campground
The place was amazing, it’s crazy to be in the middle of Zion. The view was stunning. Only 5min (in car) to the shuttles
But we were super close to the other RV, the campground was quite crowded. No intimity at all
Shower limited to 6/7min is enough It was clean
100$ for a Campervan 18ft for the night, the most expensive campground we did in a two weeks roadtrip through the national parks.

So, our original plan was to stay here 3 nights, but we changed our plans and just booked one... And man am I glad. Talked with the owner before booking, he sounded very genuine and had lots of great info on the area... Really great guy. But... He's not there running it, and I feel like whoever he left in charge is doing him a disservice. You can for sure see the work and potential, but really poorly maintained. Primitive spots (what we picked) were completely uncleared and overgrown with thorny grass, I was picking them out of my shoes for days from just setting up the tent. Porta potty was... Horrifying. An absolute biohazard. We didn't even bother with the showers after seeing the state of that.
Nothing is clearly marked, so it's questionable on if you're even supposed to be in certain areas...
Just... Good idea, and a good start, but needs some proper care.

My daughters and I had a great time! There was a fire ban however, propane grills were allowed. If you didn’t have one, they had a community one you could use. Showered were a bit dirty. Girls hair everywhere! Pool was fun, mini golf and loads of other family activities. We had one funny incident the first night we got here. We couldn’t figure out where campsite was because it started out we pitched our tent at the wrong site. Eventually, we got to the site where our tent was and realized what our mistake. Family memories as we couldn’t stop laughing.
TravelerSerious shortage of bathrooms. Long waits and many not clean. Otherwise nice place.
TravelerWe had a great time at site 2! The creek was wonderful to be next to and was so peaceful at night! Initially we had issues finding the site, for those looking for more info via reviews, do not follow your gps! It will take you off roading on private property! Instead call and get directions from a site manager and that will get you there :)! TB (the little orange cat) was super hospitable and sweet. Hung by us all night and even slept on top of our tent in between the screen and rain fly. All of the site animals were kind and made us feel much safer. We met with Travis who was super nice and friendly! He told us about the wildlife and gave us advice about places to visit. We were recommended taking Kolob terrace all the way up during sun set & it was beyond beautiful!! Our only regret was not doing it until the last night. A tip for future campers is to make sure you bring organic chemical free soaps because if you plan on taking a shower, the water comes and goes from the creek. Also, the bathrooms have locks on them which isn’t a big issue, but make sure to ask in advance. We made the mistake of not using the bathrooms until late at night & it was too late to get in contact with a site manager. The sites are a little hard to find because their camp maps don’t match their recent reorganization, but it’s not too hard to figure out. All around a great site with lovely people and animals!

We were in site 16A. It was close to 16B, which would be perfect for a large group, but we had plenty of privacy. Our site could have had 3-4 large tents with plenty of room. There was another group at 16B and we could see them, but it was very quiet at night. The hikes her easy and fun and we will definitely go back.
Guide4 mile long campground with lava tunnels, petrified, sand dunes, and red cliff cliffs. Access to 14 miles of trails only 50 yards from the campgrounds. All RV sites are paved and close together, non-electric sites have a little more space. The campground is also the site of the Rangers station so a lot of traffic during the day but very quiet at night.
Was a fantastic place for the work week with easy hikes after the workday was done. The campground is surrounded by high red rocks and is a beautiful scenic setting.
LegendBeautiful stranding
TravelerVery pleasant place with friendly staff. All amenities in good condition. Shower by tokens limited to one a night, however costs additional 6$ if you fancy a shower on a check out day… Spots are quite tight, the view is amazing and town shuttle stop is just round the corner. 15 mins on foot to the entrance of the park.
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.
GuideThis place was very nice. It had good amenities and was clean. It was kid friendly and I’m considering coming back with the family. RV hookups were great for power and charging an EV. The staff were very nice and there is tree coverage at the campsites for some added shade.
ScoutWe found the service (in particular by an older gentlemen on reception) to be unwelcoming and cold. Facilities were reasonable but restricted to one shower and a 6 minute limit. Per night. God forbid people or want to wash at the night and morning! Location is great but I would highly recommend 10-20 minute more driving than coming here
GuidePool, laundry, free showers, and much more.
ScoutThis is a wonderful site surrounded by amazing views and a beautiful flower garde . The host was very friendly. It was a peaceful and much needed getaway. Will be coming back as soon as I can!
GuideRv spots are small but amenities shush as showers and bathroom and camp store were great and staff was very nice. Easy shuttle access to park and town.
TravelerWe had an incredible stay at Kolob Gate Gardens! The hosts were welcoming and a joy to chat with. We were the only guests and came at the beginning of the season but they still made sure we had all the amenities needed and offered great recommendations for local hikes away from the craziness of Zion crowds. Our favorite parts were the adorable night hike up the hill, listening to the creek from our tent at night, and their camp kitty, TB, who we couldn’t resist sneaking into our tent for lots of cuddles. The night skies were also to die for. Can’t wait to come visit again!
GuideGreat campground out of the zion. Great place
Legend
Jake from the Dyrt here! We're excited to have this campground on the Dyrt and ready for you to book, check them out and make sure to leave a review!
LegendGeneral: Small state park campground with 29 sites and two group areas. There are a variety of sites in both size and quality. Most are paved but a few are gravel.
Site Quality: Sites 1-14 have water and electric hookups but are obscenely close together (I’m quite certain if a person in the adjacent site sneezed, you would hear it)! The one redeeming quality to these sites are covered pavilions with lights. Most of the other sites do not have w/e but four others did (15A, 15B, 17, & 18). Some of the driveways are very long while others are very short. There are two “shared” or “twin” sites that would best be suited for people traveling together (although they are not as close together as Sites 1-14)!
Bath/Shower house: There are two restrooms in the campground. The bathrooms are very clean, as were the showers (there is a code to get into the showers).
Activities: Hiking and biking. There are several trails accessible from the campground. Highly recommend hiking the Petrified Dunes trail! The short trail to Jenny Cave was also nice.
The campground was full on a Tuesday in April; I recall that when we made reservations a few months in advance we snagged the only site available. However, if I had known the layout, I’m not sure we would have stayed. The only saving grace is that Site 1 is at the end of the row so aside from the road, we had privacy on one side. If you are lucky enough to snag Sites 19-22 (especially 22), they are the most private sites in the park and 22 has the longest driveway (could easily have fit four of our vans with room leftover). The trails were beautiful but the campground could definitely have a better layout. If we had one of these four sites, my rating definitely would have been higher.
