Best Tent Camping near St. George, UT

The red rock landscapes around Saint George make it one of Utah's best tent camping bases. Quail Creek State Park Campground has flat tent pads near the water, good for swimmers and paddlers. You can reach Zion National Park in under an hour, where tent sites sit far enough apart that you won't hear your neighbors' conversations. The sandy soil throughout much of the area makes for easy tent stake placement, though you'll want a hammer for some of the harder-packed sites. Most campgrounds keep parking spots within 50 yards of tent sites, so you won't have to haul your gear too far. Watch for mule deer wandering through camp in the mornings and evenings, and hang food bags to keep smaller critters away. Days get hot from May through September, but nights cool down enough for a light jacket and a small fire. Book sites well ahead of time if you're coming between March and October - especially for weekends. The closest grocery store is in Saint George itself, about 15-30 minutes from most surrounding campgrounds.
