"You know all those calendar photos of Utah you’ve seen your whole life? This is that part of Utah."
"This campground has easy access to All the Cedar Breaks National Monument has to offer! Great sites, although my only complaint is that they are pretty close to one another."
$25 - $250 / night
"Trails to explore on the property and great private bathrooms w/showers. Only been open a couple seasons. We got lucky. Once the word gets out this place will need to be booked months in advance."
"Cedar Canyon Retreat is a cute little campground close to Cedar Breaks National Monument and to the town of Brian Head. We stayed in our 30' TT and site 20 was plenty big enough."
"The park is on the edge of town but close to anything you might want or need. Our site was directly across from the playground and 50 steps from the off-leash dog park."
"The showers weren't that great, very close to main road and I'm surprised at how bumpy and angled the entrances are considering. Wifi works well, tmobile and Verizon service."
"Bummer, it’s right off the highway, but late at night it’s pretty quiet. Just have to checkout all the pullouts for a walking trail down to a camping spot. Not too shabby."
"Right off of highway but plenty of tree cover to dampen road noise. Waterfall and creek noise to lull you to sleep. Large dirt parking area."
"The overflow is where we stayed which is tucked into the trees and has a creek running through it."
"The other spots by the creek are all close to each other with minimal privacy. The spot we found was completely separate and next to creek. Wed was pretty empty but then it filled up on Thursday."
$35 - $130 / night
"Sites were typical National Park, small and close together but well positioned. We had close access to a modern restroom that was clean and well maintained. "
"Watchman is conveniently located within walking distance of the Zion National Park south entrance. The camp sites are shaded with trees and red gravel/sand ground structure."
"Spots scattered around, more so on the left side when you drive in - towards and around marathon trail head.
Bring extra bug spray!"
"Campground with dispersed campsites within a grove of aspen trees adjacent to a large meadow and the Marathon TH, with a stunning view of Cedar Breaks. Vault toilet is well-maintained."
"The drive into the campground was beautiful with trees starting to turn fall colors with the backdrop of vermillion rock formations and bright blue sky."
"I drive a scion tc and had no trouble driving in."
"While there are lots of places to camp please don't make new campsites or drive off roads and in the desert/grass."
"This is an amazing place to camp, if you like dry camping ( which I do) it is peaceful and relaxing away from the crowds"
TravelerOriginal plan was to camp inside the park but failed to secure a site. That led us to finding this Rv park. Very friendly staff, clean facilities, and mature trees! With temperatures in the it's all week, we appreciated the shade, the pool, and full hookups for AC. The cool Virgin River behind our site was a nice place to soak our tired feet and enjoy a beverage after hiking in Zion. We preferred the pace of Virgin over Sugardale, and it was only 20min away.
ScoutPyramid was a good place to take a break as we moved across Utah. We were there for 1 night in May. There is a well serviced bathroom. No water or electricity. It's very close to stores and services, although you'd never know it. It seems very remote.
GuideWe explored Zion and the park is beautiful but it is super crowded. This campground’s location to the park can’t be beat and the facilities are clean and well maintained. It is costly but sometimes the convenience has a value all it’s own.
ScoutGood campground, clean bathrooms. Not a lot of shadow.
ScoutWe recently stayed at Zion Canyon Campground and had a mixed experience. The location is definitely a highlight, it’s just a short walk to the park entrance, which made getting in and out of Zion really convenient.
That said, the campground was very full, and the campsites are packed in pretty tightly. Some are extremely close to each other, so don’t expect much privacy. It was also pretty loud during the day with lots of kids running around, which might be something to consider if you're looking for a quieter stay. On the positive side, the campground provides two shower coins per night, which was a nice touch, and pets are allowed.
The onsite shop was well-stocked with fair prices, and the check-in process was quick and easy. Our site had full hookups including water, electricity, and sewer, though the sewer connection at our particular site was placed a bit far away, which made it a little inconvenient.
Overall, it’s a solid option if you want to be as close to the park as possible and don’t mind a busier campground environment. The price is relatively high for what you get, but the location may make it worth it for some.
TravelerBeautiful spot in a small canyon. There are many spots along the black top road"Kolob Ter Rd, out of Virgin, and many were already taken as it was Sunday of memorial Day weekend. The dirt road off the black top to the campsite is rough, we have a pickup with slide-in camper, I wouldn't take anything bigger on this road.
ScoutAwesome RV Park just off I15. Park is great for Vets as paying cash will get you a night for $30. I arrived to spend 1 night but ended up spending 4 as it gave me the time to restock/refresh as I am an avid boonedocker. 6 miles from Cedar City to all that you will need. Lots of trails to hike or bike. Showers, laundry and restrooms available and very clean!! I will definitely be staying here again!
ScoutVery nice place with full hookups. They have a pool/jacuzzi that is opening soon. We stayed here as base camp and spent our days 20 minutes up the mountain skiing at Brian Head. Great stay
ScoutThis place was beautiful and peaceful during the day, but like something out of a movie night fell and that's when there was a major incident. I arrived and set up my camp, but always sleep in my car the first night just in case. Thank god I did, because I heard some weird noises and footsteps come up to my driver side door. Then they went around my car, and I laid on my car horn twice. Grabbed my lantern and pepper gel and sat upright. Waited a few seconds ( to hear where to aim if need be) and heard a man's heavy breathing a foot away from my ear by the window. Floored it out and left. Figured out later the weird noises was the man grabbing a knife, and flicking it out. It was close enough that my car knocked it out of his hand down into the divet where my wipers go.
Even had a lady who was solo camping there for three weeks walk over to introduce herself and tell me how safe it was here and that I was gonna have a great time sleeping out here.
So, unless you wanna find yourself in a news article or as the main character of a horror movie, I would camp elsewhere. Too bad the park is beautiful! It's in bear country. I would have preferred to tell you a bear encounter story.
