  Cedar Canyon Retreat RV Park and Campground

  Great small campground.

  This campround is mostly for RV's but there are 6 tent sites, 3 of which sit close to the main road. The bathrooms have flush toilets, sinks and showers. They are well maintained and very clean. Tent campsites have fire rings.

  Zion Canyon Campground

  Great place to stay

  This place is great for RV and Tent camping. There are 2 locations of restrooms and showers. Both have male and female restrooms on oposite sides along with 4 showers on each side. Very clean. Most of the tent sites are shaded they are 35’x16’ they do take your vehicle on the site as well so plan accordingly. Each site has a fire pit with grill and a stand alone grill. Really great place to stay. The Virgin River runs alongside the campsite. It is so close to the National Park as well.

  Cedar City RV Resort by Rjourney

  Very noisy tent sites right by the road

  We were tent camping at this campground which is the only reason it will not get 5 stars from us. The campground itself is great, especially the bathrooms are surprisingly amazing. And here comes the but: the tent sites are right on the street without much of a barrier (a small wooden fence on one site, but nothing else). Everybody can just walk on the site. The noise is also awful if you're staying there during the main season. If you're staying with a camper you're probably ok.

  Zion River Resort

  Nice RV park, not ideal for tents

  We stayed here for 4 nights in October 2020 while tent camping.  We selected this location because we were working from the road while also exploring National Parks and this met our criteria.

  Pros:

  -Less than a 30 minute drive to Zion National Park from here

  -Great WiFi from the campground and cell service (T-Mobile)- totally possible to work remotely from here

  -Nice amenities including a "social hall"- basically a large living room with some couches and tables.  We worked from here and felt safe even during COVID because there was literally never anyone else in here.  

  -Pool if you're interested in that.  We didn't use it, but it wasn't that crowded.

  -Store is very well stocked.  Basically a small grocery story and gifty type items.  Prices are not that ridiculous.

  -Picnic pavilion/camp kitchen with dishwashing sinks and covered picnic tables

  -Bathrooms were updated and had hot showers (though showers have a 7 minute limit)

  -Staff was friendly and helpful

  -Bathhouse also has laundry (coin operated)

  Cons:

  -The 4 tent sites are right next to each other basically in a gravel parking lot.  This place is really an nice RV park that then seemed to add in the tent area.  If you don't want to be right next to your neighbors, you will not like this.  That being said, we felt like we were able to be far enough away during COVID.

  -There is no shade at the tent sites.  The RV sites each seemed to have a tree, but none in the tent area.  It would be pretty miserable to site out here during the day.  We used the picnic pavilion and the social hall, so were ok.

  -Less COVID precautions than I've seen at other campground- e.g. the only sanitizer was outside the store/office- none in the bathhouse, laundry areas, social hall, etc.- high touch places.  They did have bottles of cleaning spray out, but no place had paper towels, so that felt pointless honestly.

  Overall, if you're looking for amenities, including WiFi, are RV camping, want a good location to Zion, this is a great place and I recommend it.  If you're looking for a really great tent site, you won't find it here.

  Virgin River Gorge (BLM)

  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.

  Zion RV and Campground (Hi-Road)

  Nice campsite by Zion’s east entrance

  This campsite was really nice! They have a gas station by the lodge, and it was perfect for a last minute campsite. We had a gorgeous view of the stars and a site to pitch our tent away from other guests. The lodge employees were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the park. The only downside was that the tent sites are right along SR-9 so you hear all of the traffic and see the lights of passing cars. We paid $34 per night for a tent site, and it was much cheaper and quieter than staying in Springdale by Zion’s main entrance. The drive down through the park to Springdale was breathtaking!

  East end of Zion National Park campground, full hook-ups, short drive to Bryce Canyon National Park

  Located on the East end of Zion National Park. You'll find less traffic and quieter area opposed to the campgrounds located near Springdale, Utah on the south end of the park. Full RV hook-ups, tent sites available as well. Laundry facility to refresh you sweaty & dusty gear. Showers to enjoy after a day of hiking and sight seeing. Short drive to Bryce Canyon National Park.

  Veyo Pool and Crawdad Canyon

  Little gem in the Santa Clara River Valley outside Veyo!

  Awesome campground tucked in the river valley directly outside of Veyo and 30 minutes outside of St. George!  Awesome campground for families with many amenities and activities such as pool, climbing, concessions, showers and more.  Drove my Honda Civic in and tent camped for a night while exploring Utah.  Campground manager/host was friendly and accommodating.

  Pleasant and relaxing

  Spacious spots with trees all around. We tent camped. All spots pretty flat. Tables and fire rings at each site. Very short drive to the lake.

  Not for tents

  For tent camping this place rates a zero, rough gravel or thorns under your tent. It rates  stars for the location and the restroom/showers. We couldn't stay and found a hotel in Kanab instead.

  Worst tent camping possible

  Feet from an extremely busy and noisy intersection under a street light. Only consider this campground for tent camping if absolutely desperate. And, in that case, consider a hotel.

  Zion Canyon Campground

  Close access to Zion and sufficient camping

  Pretty packed in tent camping it we were up at sunrise and hiked in to Zion. After 12 hours in the National Park the showers came in handy and campfire finished off a great day.

  Zion River Resort

  Zion River Resort

  This resort is very nice. Pricey, but it offers a lot. It is about 13 miles outside of Zion but they take reservations, other campgrounds nearby did not. The tent sites are right along the river which was wonderful. There is extra parking if you need it right by your tent site. You can play horseshoes, go swimming int he heated pool and use the hot tub. They encourage camp fires and have a gift shop. The showers run for 7 minutes, then you have to wait 5 minutes and then you can run them again, no coins needed. There are picnic benches at the campsites. Really enjoyed this campground.

  Duck Creek

  Cool respite in a hot August

  I tent camped at Duck Creek in Aug. 2020. It was cool and fresh. I could’ve camped around Kanab but an elk bowhunter in a bar in Alpine AZ recommend Duck Creek instead because Kanab would be hot.

  Clean and cheap

  Giant free showers, kitchen use, coin laundry, level sites, friendly staff and cheap rates. Not all tent sites have a table but they have a pavilion with a bunch.

  Zion RV and Campground (Hi-Road)

  Good in a pinch!

  Stayed here one night in our camper van. Not a lot of rv spaces (completely full when we showed up late on a Saturday night) so we opted for a tent site which was cheaper anyways and they had plenty of open slots for a Saturday. It probably helped that it was rainy for the tent sites.

  Good location, about 5 minutes down the road from Zion's east entrance. And zion is just amazing! Highly recommend taking a few days here!

  The grounds have nice showers and restrooms along with coin-op laundry and foosball tables. Decent wifi (writing this review here) and nice couches in lounge area.

  And the view is amazing to wake up too here! See photos.

  Decent

  The tent sites aren’t sites, they’re just on a medium sized lawn where you have to pick a spot. $33 felt expensive but at least they had showers. Likely a better experience for those in RV’s.

  Zion RV and Campground (Hi-Road)

  Run down and over priced

  I was not impressed with this pvt campground. Everything appears rundown, worn out and weedy. The tent sites have old crappy tables that need paint, fire rings are just rocks, some are full of trash. This entire CG is close to the Hwy 9 traffic noise. Tent sites are $40 plus tax!!! Crazy!! RV sites are $54 and many of the RV sites appear to have residents long term. There are some primitive 4x4 tent spots above the main office bldg but I cannot imagine how rough they are. This is the only CG at the east entrance to Zion NP and it needs some investment and serious overhaul maintenance. Their customers are the unfortunate folks that could not get reservations in the Zion NP CGs...the BLM needs to establish a fee CG if this east entrance of Zion is going to be developed.

  Zion Canyon Campground

  Typical RV park

  Pretty typical for an RV Park...lots of people, dogs and trailers. Showers and bathrooms are nice and clean. Not ideal for tent camping cause the sites are very close together and it gets loud in the morning, but if you can’t get a spot inside the park, this is a good option.

  Zion Canyon Campground

  Great views just outside the park

  If you can’t snag a spot inside the park this is the next best place to RV or tent camp. Amazing views surround you, clean bathrooms and showers, great spots right by the river if you can grab one. Easy 10 min walk to the park entrance and lots of restaurants nearby.
