Reservations for South Campground are available up to 14 days before your arrival and may extend up to two days beyond this 14-day booking window. For visitors to Zion National Park, South Campground is an ideal place to stay. Located near the park's south entrance, the campground is just a short walk from the main visitor center, the Zion Canyon Shuttle System and the adjacent town of Springdale. The canyon and most of the park's trails are only accessible by shuttle bus from approximately the end of February until the end of November each year. Season Dates: South Campground is open from early March to the end of October. Reservations are available up to 14 days before your arrival.

Recreation
Hikers can access three trails directly from the facility: the Watchman Trail, a moderate trail that ascends the peak behind the campground; the Archeology Trail, which offers a light hike to an archeological site; and the Pa'rus Trail, a paved walking and biking trail that runs alongside the river, and the only trail in the park that allows dogs. The Zion visitor center and the park shuttles are a short walk from the campground. Many popular rock climbing routes are within a short shuttle bus ride into the main canyon. Use of OHVs and ATVs is prohibited in Zion National Park.
Natural Features
Zion is known for its dynamic geologic history. The South Campground and Amphitheater were built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the early 1930s. The project was completed and opened to the public in the spring of 1935. The Virgin River, a narrow but powerful river that has carved out the canyon over time, runs adjacent to the site. Cottonwood trees surrounding the campsite turn golden in the fall. Although the campground is moderately forested, most of the campsites are in partial to full sun but visitors can cool off in the cold river when temperatures peak during summer. Be Advised: The months of April and May bring an unusual infestation of Tent Caterpillars, which fall from trees onto tents, tables, and unsuspecting campers and can make it quite uncomfortable to sit outside. The months of July and August in particular bring a higher concentration of ants in the campsites, which seem to come out especially after the monsoons, but are present all summer long. August and September bring yellowjackets. Insecticidal treatment by visitors is not permitted.
Nearby Attractions

Fun place!
My daughters and I had a great time! There was a fire ban however, propane grills were allowed. If you didn’t have one, they had a community one you could use. Showered were a bit dirty. Girls hair everywhere! Pool was fun, mini golf and loads of other family activities. We had one funny incident the first night we got here. We couldn’t figure out where campsite was because it started out we pitched our tent at the wrong site. Eventually, we got to the site where our tent was and realized what our mistake. Family memories as we couldn’t stop laughing.

Incredible views, great site
We were in site 16A. It was close to 16B, which would be perfect for a large group, but we had plenty of privacy. Our site could have had 3-4 large tents with plenty of room. There was another group at 16B and we could see them, but it was very quiet at night. The hikes her easy and fun and we will definitely go back.

Amazing Small Campground
4 mile long campground with lava tunnels, petrified, sand dunes, and red cliff cliffs. Access to 14 miles of trails only 50 yards from the campgrounds. All RV sites are paved and close together, non-electric sites have a little more space. The campground is also the site of the Rangers station so a lot of traffic during the day but very quiet at night.
Was a fantastic place for the work week with easy hikes after the workday was done. The campground is surrounded by high red rocks and is a beautiful scenic setting.

Something always available here
We were happy to be here after a long drive and failed searches . I would use this area as a failsafe-always something available here. There is a lot of shooter trash along the whole road but we were able to go to a spot with the trailer off the road aways where there wasn't much junk . Nice enough base to explore the region where we could let the dog roam around. The road is busier than you would think so if you have a spot close to the road I wouldn't let dog loose.

Wonky layout
General: Small state park campground with 29 sites and two group areas. There are a variety of sites in both size and quality. Most are paved but a few are gravel.
Site Quality: Sites 1-14 have water and electric hookups but are obscenely close together (I’m quite certain if a person in the adjacent site sneezed, you would hear it)! The one redeeming quality to these sites are covered pavilions with lights. Most of the other sites do not have w/e but four others did (15A, 15B, 17, & 18). Some of the driveways are very long while others are very short. There are two “shared” or “twin” sites that would best be suited for people traveling together (although they are not as close together as Sites 1-14)!
Bath/Shower house: There are two restrooms in the campground. The bathrooms are very clean, as were the showers (there is a code to get into the showers).
Activities: Hiking and biking. There are several trails accessible from the campground. Highly recommend hiking the Petrified Dunes trail! The short trail to Jenny Cave was also nice.
The campground was full on a Tuesday in April; I recall that when we made reservations a few months in advance we snagged the only site available. However, if I had known the layout, I’m not sure we would have stayed. The only saving grace is that Site 1 is at the end of the row so aside from the road, we had privacy on one side. If you are lucky enough to snag Sites 19-22 (especially 22), they are the most private sites in the park and 22 has the longest driveway (could easily have fit four of our vans with room leftover). The trails were beautiful but the campground could definitely have a better layout. If we had one of these four sites, my rating definitely would have been higher.

Average Desert Campground
Not much to tell it’s a standard desert campground. Heard quite a bit of gunfire and there are some obvious signs people had targets set up along the access road. Lots of litter which is unfortunate to see. I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain how easy it is to not litter.

Beuatiful but too busy
Zion’s beauty is unmatched. It is too busy but has great facilities. Most of the campers and hikers are inexperienced and not prepared. But damn is it beautiful

How lucky we got to arrive here with no reservation and actually land a spot from a cancellation! It must of been Gods will or shall I say Gods blessing! What a beautiful spot!!!! Access to the river, bike trail/river walk, Enough space between sites, a wonderful host, and can’t leave out the beauty of nature surrounding us!

Remote and fun
This is a very remote area if you go in far enough. I saw no other campers and only a couple 4 wheel drives going through the area. Be sure you're self sufficient in every way before you go too far in.

Very quiet campground and felt like we were alone. Can’t see other sites. Horse stables away from tents and didn’t smell at all. Restrooms really clean. Can’t wait to go again

Remote and rugged
If you want wilderness this is the place. Get out into the parashant and it's all yours. There's nothing there but what God put there and a few people left behind. (I was a little disappointed with the small bit of thrash left at some old camp sites I found). It's beautiful if you like desert southwest areas. Lots of juniper, cedar, cacti, etc. Be sure to be prepared to be self sufficient in all ways if you get off the main rough road or you could be in real trouble.

You will need 4WD!!!!!
Didn’t stay here, but the road leading up to the site is insanely rocky. 4WD MINIMUM. Tried to get up it with a Subaru forester and we had to bail halfway through. Anything lifted will be better, too. Didn’t see anything about this road until we made it there so only go if you’ve got the car for it, or if you want to walk!!!

Beautiful views, Beautiful place
This has been my all time favorite place that I’ve camped. We had a gorgeous spot and the bathrooms were also super clean too. The cows roaming around was also so nice, we even saw some coyotes and deer. The stars were also so visible at night too. The road wasn’t too bad to get too either. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Peaceful Zion Campground
Nice resort just outside Zion. This was a great place to book last minute since the campsites in Zion get reserved pretty far in advance. It was a beautiful, quiet campground, and it had great amenities to come back to after a long day of hot, summer Zion hiking!

Dogs Allowed!
Update to some other reviews - Dogs are now allowed on ALL the trails. This is a beautiful area for hiking and camping. The RV sites with hookups are a little crowded but other sites are very private.
Greg L.LegendSnow Canyon State Park Campground
Beautiful setting
CG is quite small considering the popularity. Sites are $40 no hookups, $45 elect hookups. Group sites are $200+. Cell signal is very poor. 29 sites plus two group sites. Showers available, no Xtra charge. No firewood for sale in CG so bring your own. SC-1-14 are elect and water hookup but are very close together! Only criticism is the $20 extra vehicle fee...that is way too high... imo

Great free camping
Lots of space for camping. Fairly decent roads. Just don't come out while it's wet. Fair bit of trash around hillsides where people are shooting.
Lily H.RangerZion Ponderosa Ranch Resort
Very safe, a bit pricey
As a solo woman, safety was my first priority and it felt very safe the whole time. It was, however, a bit pricey, and the sites were not very private. On the plus side, the pool and hot tub were amazing after hiking Zion, the adventure add-ons were incredible, and the accessibility to the park is hard to beat for this price range. I would go back but I also assume there are other places.

Awesomely maintained and managed
This campground was awesome! A map and information guide was waiting with out name on it when we arrived, easy access to water and a bathroom. Amazing views from the campsite, and sites were nicely organized and separated from one another.
Nick P.GuideSouth Campground — Zion National Park
Very clean and well laid out
We got arrived two days earlier than planned and got lucky with one spot open in the south campground to stay in until our spot at watchman opened up. It was just as nice and provided great views all the same.
Chris H.GuideZion Ponderosa Ranch Resort
Try somewhere else
If you can find somewhere else I would highly recommend it. The sites are narrow, not level and unkept with garbage around and in the firepit. The water pressure is also extremely poor. They should be embarrassed charging $120 a night when it's not worth $30.

Worst campground, do not camp here
Sites are not level, very noisy in the am or at night..no security and the place is run by a bunch of teenagers. The grill was full garbage and the sites were un kept and primitive. Not worth the money..nothing positive about this resort.

Lovely tent campsite with a picnic table and fire ring. Excellent shower room and restroom with laundry. Full service resort including restaurant on grounds. No cell signal but decent WiFi EXCEPT in the campground. There were many sites for RV’s, vans, and tents. They had full hooks available. Lots of room between sites. I enjoyed my stay.

Save yourself
Save yourself the hassle if in an RV! Four spots to be level (with tires touching the ground), the RV part was an after thought and it shows. Didn’t feel welcome, run by cranky teenagers. Thanks goodness our neighbor had a weed eater, grass up to knees everywhere.
