TravelerSolo girlie pop car camper- Great reception, clear sites. Felt safe. Some trash in the fire ring but people are gonna people I guess. I used someone’s satellite photo to access the spot, as it showed a paved road access rather than the bumpy version. I didn’t to too far in but my Subaru forester sport had no issues. Only stayed one night.
TravelerEasy to find and gravel roads throughout and easy to navigate.
ScoutPlenty of spots available with fire pits. We got a spot right by the water. There are a lot of ant hills and it can be pretty muddy in some spots. My AWD suv did fine in the mud.
GuideNice views and close to town yet far enough away to be quiet. Only a couple other people here. Most sites are pretty small and on the back half the most are pretty slanted. We had to change sites because the first one required 12 inches at the front to get level. Road in is a little bump but not bad at all.
ScoutDefinitely a little bumpy and may be hard getting through to the back if wet and muddy. Other than that nice little spots with fire pits, a nice little stream, good service and not too far from the park.
ScoutNo place at this spot to pull off but we found one half mile further on, not sure if it's legal to camp here.
GuideNice basic RV camp. Spot A04 was flat enough that leveling system was able to finish leveling without much effort. Bathrooms were clean but dated. Traffic noise was there but not overwhelming. Gas stations and grocery stores were near by making it convenient to restock or fill up before heading down the road. Staff was friendly and outgoing. Dog run was adequate in size.
GuideStayed at Watchman CG for 5 nights. Very convenient for going to the Visitor's Center, catching the shuttle to the various trailheads and/or to walk around town in Springdale, having dinner and/or drinks at the Zion Brew Pub, and renting ebikes or gear for hiking the Narrows. Bathrooms were clean. Convenient dishwashing sink at the bathrooms. CG was quiet until Friday night then you really got a feel for how close everyone really was, but all the pluses outweighed that one minus.
ScoutGreat place. All the basics of water, septic & electric plus access to the pool and easy access to the hotel casino areas. Nice bars and restaurants. We were a bit disappointed when we were told that the Cabana bar was not open weekdays.

Water activities at Sand Hollow State Park: This state park provides opportunities for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding on its reservoir.

Quiet off-season camping: Winter and early spring offer less crowded conditions at many campgrounds. "We had a pleasant, quiet stay on a Sunday night. Bathrooms/Showers are new and clean. Cell service was great," writes Meghan B. about her April stay at Quail Creek State Park Campground.
Shade in the desert heat: Many campers appreciate tree coverage during hot summer months. "Despite basically being in a desert, the park had lush grass in every spot and a dense tree cover. It was about 10 degrees cooler in the park because of the shade from the trees," notes Jenny W. about WillowWind RV Park.

"Cell service is hit or miss," warns Meghan B. about Snow Canyon State Park Campground, while Greg L. reports at Red Cliffs Campground: "Cell signal is very good for TMobile, not so good for Verizon or ATT."
RV size limitations: Some campgrounds have tunnel or site restrictions for larger vehicles. Greg L. cautions about Red Cliffs Campground: "You have to go under the interstate thru two narrow concrete tunnels, they are 11.9 high, so be careful, many large RVs, 5th wheels, Class As will not fit!!"

Shade structures for hot days: Bring portable shade for recreation areas where natural coverage is limited. "Shade is at a premium, so bring your own," advises Kristin S. about Sand Hollow State Park.

Site levelness varies: Check reviews for specific site information before booking. Victoria C. notes about Zion River Resort, "The cons you may want to be aware of: Wifi struggles to keep up, especially with everyone working/learning remotely. And the sites are VERY close together."
RV park layouts differ significantly: Some parks offer spacious sites while others are tightly packed. Lance S. observed about WillowWind RV Park: "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."
Water pressure considerations: Fluctuating water pressure affects some campgrounds. Dag D. reports about Zion River Resort: "Only issue we had the 2 days we stayed was low water pressure entire stay.
