    Pyramid Ridge Campground

    AMAZING HIDDEN GEM CLOSE TO CEDAR CITY

    Found this place on the DYRT as we were looking for a place to check out when going from Bryce Canyon to Zion. And decided on Cedar city. Almost all RV sites in town were >$60/night, so we opted to dry camp. Pyramid Ridge was exactly what we wanted. And for only $12/night (plus a $8 reservation fee) it was well worth it. Highly recommend.

    Great spot!!

    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

    Single River Site

    River with a dash of fall trees under the stars

    There’s a cluster of spots for both tents and trailers to post up. The river is beautiful but appears they prefer no access to it. The fence line is down so people go anyways. This place fills up on weekend so if you get there early in day you can pick a prime space. Fire pits are all over and used. We grabbed a spot right next to the bridge and water under the falls colored tree. Stars at night are stunning. It’s quiet but you do hear the occasion car passing by from the nearby road, yet the white noise from the river softens it. October gets around 50 at night so come prepared if you’re tenting. About 20 mins outside of Zion main entrance. The mountains surrounding are beautiful.

    Pretty views on blm land

    Drive out a few miles past red cliffs reserve till you pass the “your public lands sign” and find pull offs with fire rings. Gorgeous views and we saw no other people but lots of trash/broken glass/shotgun shells. Had to keep our dog on a short leash but worked well for a quick dinner and place to crash for a night

    A Lousy Trailer Park

    All 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.

    Utah State Campground

    If we were traveling with our ATV I would give this 4 stars. Excellent campground with amazing access to unlimited off-road trails. We opted to ride a UTV with ROAM outfitters which I highly recommend. They have an office right on the campground site. The sand dunes are amazing and picturesque. The sledding is so much fun and if done with a tour you can sled more not having to hike back up the sand hill. Not having sewer hookup we used the bathhouse which is what to be expected except it would be appreciated if they cleaned more.

    Sand pit campground not a bad stay

    Geared towards buggies and jeeps but the lady at the desk put us on the outside camp spot which was nice. Clean showers (2) and bathrooms (4). No shade and the lake had a swimmers itch warning which is why it did not get 5 stars. Over all a nice 1 night stay. Close to town for food and close to Zion. Gate closes at 10pm so if your later than that look elsewhere.

    Spacious & Beautiful

    This is a great spot for easy access to Zion’s west entrance. It isn’t the quietest spot, lots of people pulling in to find spots late into the night, and you can see and hear your neighbors, but that didn’t bother us much personally. Everything is sandy, so be prepared to shake out your bedding before bed. The roads were not rough, just sandy and bumpy. Many spots to choose from, just look for campsite markers or fire pits. You can hear bomb testing from Nevada which was cool to us, but just a heads up.

    Tight turns getting back to the sites - Big Rigs use caution

    We stayed here for 1 night recently.  The site itself was fine, though there was a bunch of trash all over. Enough room for our 39ft rig and toad.  The road getting back to it was so twisty and tight that we scratched up the side of our rig. On the way out, we laid our outdoor rug on the bushes to keep from scratching again, so it is possible to get back here, but be prepared to work around that obstacle. 

    Also, there is a sign at the entrance warning that the area is used for "rodeo livestock" grazing, and to be cautious around them and not to approach them. We never saw or heard them, but it's something to be aware of.

    Big Rigs - Use sites #55 & #56

    I'm not sure why there isn't a camp location in TD for these two sites, but they are directly off of a single lane, paved road in the same area as the others.  These are the only sites I could get our rig to.  There is a brown sign on the side of the Hwy 9 that points to a historical marker, if i recall correctly, that you can use as a marker.  We have a 39ft Class A and had no trouble getting setup. Plenty of room, a fire ring and great views in the background. It's definitely dusty, but that is my only complaint. Close enough to Hurricane and Springdale to get any supplies you need, too.

    Great place to stay for Zion!

    We camped for two nights (Thurs and Fri) in early October. Attached are some photos from our site as well as a map of the camping area. There are 40ish camp sites along unpaved roads. The main road is unpaved but navigable by most any car. The secondary roads that lead to the individual campsites are a bit more treacherous. Would recommend AWD or at least not a super low car as it will likely bottom out. We did it slowly without issue in our Subaru. The camp sites are big enough for multiple cars or an RV. There are fire pits at each. About 100 yards or so between camp sites. We left our tent setup unattended Thursday day while hiking in Zion and had no issue.

    The drive to the park is about 30-40 minutes, longer depending on how strong your car is. We were averaging about 10mph on the unpaved roads.

    Overall a great place to stay! Beautiful stars, amazing land scape. Quiet and safe place to stay. Will definitely stay here again!

    Easy and Close to Zion

    It was pretty easy to find even in the dark which is when we rolled in. Pretty popular spot so you are kinda close to other people but is only 25 mins to Zion and plenty of spots. There is a little river that is so nice to go to sleep to and it is very quiet.

    Gorgeous Site

    Gorgeous Campground and 100% worth it to stay in Zion NP. The park gets crazy busy by 8AM ish on the weekend so it made a huge difference staying in the park as it allowed us to be on the first shuttle bus out to the trails every morning. There are tons of mule deer around that definitely get fed so be careful having food out, even while you are cooking they are not shy at all!! Not much privacy but otherwise 10/10

    Great for RVs but hard for tents

    We spent 3 nights at this campsite and it is kept very clean, the amenities are well maintained. There is a beautiful view and very little light polution for star gazing. However if you plan on camping in a tent - the sites are very close to eachother with no visual privacy, the ground is very rocky and the tent pads provided are small (I could not fit my bell tent). The gorge act like a wind tunnel so it is extra windy. 

    I would highly recommend this spot for RVs and Travel Trailers but for tents it's not super comfortable.

What you should know:

  • Busy Seasons: Campgrounds can get crowded, especially during peak seasons. A visitor at South Campground noted, "Zion’s beauty is unmatched. It is too busy but has great facilities," so plan your trip accordingly.
  • Limited Amenities: Some campgrounds, like Zion River Resort, have limited shower facilities. A camper mentioned, "Shower limited to 6/7min is enough," so be prepared for that.
  • Access Issues: Some sites may require a vehicle with good clearance. A review for Sheep Bridge BLM Area stated, "You def need a higher up car to get to where I went," so check your vehicle's capabilities before heading out.

Tips for camping with families:

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Sizes: Make sure your RV fits the site. A reviewer at Zion Canyon Campground noted, "Spots are quite tight," so be aware of your space.
  • Utilize Hookups: Look for campgrounds with electric hookups, like Zion River Resort. One camper said, "The RV hookups were great for power and charging an EV," which can be a lifesaver.
  • Be Prepared for Crowds: Popular spots can fill up fast. A visitor at South Campground warned, "When we woke at 5am the line for the trams was outside the park," so arrive early to secure your spot.

Camping around St. George, Utah, offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation. With so many options, you're sure to find the perfect spot for your next outdoor getaway!
