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.

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.
The town of Springdale has shopping, art galleries, shower facilities, restaurants. equipment rental businesses, gas stations, markets, bike rentals, library and health clinic.

This is a great campground. Backs up against the Virgin River. Just a few minutes from Zion NP and St George. Pet friendly and kid friendly. Lots of shade trees. Clean pool and hot tub. Market on site with very reasonable prices.
GuideWe stayed at Zion RV resort in Virgin, Utah just outside Zion National Park and nearby towns in October 2021. This is a very nice full-service RV resort that offers a variety of pull-through and back-in sites, and cabins. The sites are 50amp FHU, fairly long, and have nice spacing between sites. The park is pristine and offers a large inviting pool and hot tub, laundry room, playground, dog runs, propane fill station, and a real lodge with lots of apparel, home goods, ice, beer and other beverage choices. There is access to the Virgin River from the campground. We really enjoyed our stay here just minutes from Zion and other local attractions. The only downside was wifi coverage if you have Verizon. This was spotty and one bar at most. We highly recommend this RV resort. To see videos on this campground and others, visit our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.
TravelerThis place is so nice! Spacious shower stalls with toilet, sink, bench and shower. Laundry facilities. Year round heated pool and hot tub. Store on site with decent prices. All spots have a tree with grass, picnic table and concrete pads. Also has small playground and dog park. Access to Virgin River with a primitive trail.
Scout
We loved the cleanliness and wide campsite. The pool, hot tub, bathroom, and laundry room were all great. Centrally located.
RangerGreat for the kids! Heated pool and adult only hot tub. Planned kid events and close to local attractions. Excellent Rzr trails near the camp. Paved for bile riding
ScoutThird time to visit here (they give a discount for repeat customers). Staff is always friendly. Facilities are always clean. Nice heated pool area with hot tub. Some areas have nice shade trees and grass areas.
Scout
With its huge resort style swimming pool and hot tub. Pickel ball courts and corn hole boards. This place is a vacation destination in itself. Located less than 20 miles from Zion national park, it's a perfect place to start your adventures.
TravelerThis campground was spectacular. I highly recommend staying here. the staff was great, everything was very clean. On weekends they have a grill and serve dinner. Their pool & hot tub area is clean and very nice. despite being in the desert, there’s grass and it’s a very pretty campground.
Guide
This place is SO beautiful! Very incredible views, nice sites and the pool and hot tub were so nice, new and clean. My family loved it here. We stayed several days and went to Zion and Bryce from here. Perfect for days spent at parks and evenings in the pool!
RangerWe had a great time at this RV park. The quiet time didn't start at 10 but that is ok with us. They have concrete sites with full hookups. They were very level by the way. Many things to do, Cornhole, volleyball, a pool, hot tub, ice cream, playground, basketball & a river.
Legend
We lucked into this private campground on a quest to see the Kanarraville Falls. It's a small lot right on the main drag and only three blocks from the Falls trail head. Gail, the host and owner, put us on a nice grassy patch under a couple of pines and invited us to make use of the free showers (the bathrooms are coded for guests only), the hot tub, and the communal grill and patio. She was super friendly and a great source of information about the falls. For being on the main road through town and on a very small lot, it was very quiet. Tents are mixed in kind of wherever they can fit between RV's, campers, and a couple of cute cabins. A great option when its the only option in town and you only plan to stay a night or two.
RangerPark - especially if you’re in a site up the hill - has nice views with great amenities like clean bathroom/shower suites, a pool and hot tub, playground, and dog run.
Like many parks, spaces allow little privacy but the sense of community was nice in our visit and staff was helpful, welcoming, and accommodating.
Traveler
The tent sites are well spaced and surrounded by trees. The showers were clean and plenty of hot water. There was potable water and a dish sink at the shower house. The pool and hot tubs were an awesome bonus. I enjoyed eating at the restaurant onsite even though it has limited hours. The coffee shop is open all day though! Great place to stay you really can’t beat it at 14 bucks a night!
GuideThe sites are nice level gravel sites. They can accommodate all size rigs and will even store trail. We were not pulling trailer but there is a lot for them. Pool and hot tub were perfect temperatures. Restroom were very clean. Game room, shuffle board putting green, ping pong and work out rooms. The town is very nice with all amenities! It’s also so close to snow canyon, Zion National park, 2 hours from vagas.
LegendLet me first say that I am not an all the frills camper. In fact the less amenities, humans, post markers the better for me. I like solitude, feeling like you're in the wild. I like to be close to nature. This place-- it did not look appealing. It looked like an old RV resort with people who had been there for months. And honestly-- that's exactly what it is. I live in Rhode Island. I have been to this campground 4 times and will continue to come back. Gail (the owner) is awesome. She always sets us up with the grassiest knoll she has. And she always reminds us that for only 5extra Bucks we can switch to a cabin. And she always leaves the cabin open at night just in case a storm rolls through. The hot tub and community fire pit/grill is a great place to meet up with your neighbors for the night and talk about their travels. We have met some pretty amazing people at this little pit. There are even showers- which after being in the backcountry for four nights we welcomed. But the BEST part of this place is its within walking distance to Kanarraville Falls. Trust me. Look it up.
TravelerBeautiful resort, deer everywhere, tons of activities, mini golf, 2 pools and 2 hot tubs, heated bathrooms and showers, restaurants food wasn't very good but the staff was super friendly. It was really cold in October, snowed shortly after arrival. Our site was huge, had 2 fire pits and a picnic table. Not too far from the bathroom. We stayed at site 10 but 11 had the best views in my opinion. Observation point trail is here plus more!
RangerAs 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.
Traveler
We stayed for 3 nights in the Cave Dwelling unit. The site was very clean, they check on the hot tubs daily to make sure the water levels are correct and in good order. Staff was very quick to help with any issues. This was a very comfortable stay and close to the south entrance of Zion National Park. The only downfall was the view - there was construction going on across from the property but we would definitely stay here again.
ScoutI recently had the pleasure of staying at Grand Plateau RV Resort in Kanab, Utah, and I can’t say enough good things about this place. Here’s why it deserves a glowing review:
Stunning Location: Nestled in the heart of Utah’s red rock country, Grand Plateau offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. The sunrises and sunsets are nothing short of magical. Spacious Sites: The RV sites are generously sized, allowing for comfortable parking and outdoor living. Whether you’re in a motorhome or pulling a trailer, you’ll appreciate the ample space. Impeccable Facilities: The resort is brand new, and it shows. Everything is meticulously maintained, from the clean showers and restrooms to the well-stocked store. The laundry room is a bonus for longer stays. Friendly Staff: The staff members are warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area. They provided excellent recommendations for local hikes and dining options. Convenient Access: Grand Plateau is conveniently located near Kanab, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like Peekaboo Canyon and Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Peaceful Nights: The quiet surroundings ensure a restful night’s sleep. No highway noise or city hustle—just the sound of nature. Hot Tub and Pool: After a day of hiking, I enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub while gazing at the star-filled sky. The pool area is equally inviting. Propane Available: Need to top up your propane tank? Grand Plateau has you covered. In summary, if you’re seeking a tranquil RV retreat with top-notch amenities and unbeatable views, look no further than Grand Plateau RV Resort. It’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. 🌄🚐✨

Zion was a whole new experience!! The sunsets are amazing the hike were just as spectacular. Cabin rental or camper sites available outside the park trail head and is a great alternative if the NP is full.
RangerThis RV resort is breathtaking!! You get a taste of Zion the moment you arrive, and stay in awe of nature's beauty your entire stay. Even though this in close proximity to a number of parks, we had been to the parks already and just needed a weekend getaway, so we just stayed at the resort! The spaces are gravel and maintained well. They do have fire pits, which we enjoyed using every evening. The resort also has a big, beautiful pool and hot tub, a general store, and nice facilities. Besides the scenery that surrounded us, the best part of staying here was the hiking available. There is a nearby river, and we took the dogs down to explore with us a few times during our stay. Apparently they have a schedule of activities available, but we didn't do any of those. An absolute must if you are traveling via RV through this region!
LegendWe have a 36’ Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed for just an overnight stop in early May. This is a fairly large resort and comprised mostly of permanent residents, but with several pull-through and back-in areas for transients. The sites are gravel and fairly close together. The pool and hot tub were nice after several days of boondocking at Lake Mead.
AT&T coverage was quite good, with 4 Bars of 5G service and speeds up to 22 MB/s. We didn’t use the CG WiFi, since cell service was so good.
TravelerStopped in St. George after our stay in Zion a real contrast to be back in the city but our family appreciated the heated pool and hot tub, pool tables and ping pong and the invite to the all you could eat biscuits and gravy ($3) on the Saturday morning. Our son begged us to stay an extra night and very glad we did. Lovely town (historical area not far down the road) and felt very welcome and comfortable here. Lots of snowbirds and I feel like we got a glimpse what retirement could be like!
LegendThis 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.
LegendZion was a whole-nother experience!! Fire red sunsets, completely different setting from where I was use too and one of the tallest trail hikes and rock climb I have been on, seems that throughout the day the settings always change! Cabin rental or camper sites available outside the park trail head. Be prepared for masterpiece painted memories!!
ScoutThis site really has it all! The basics are great (hot showers, clean toilets, laundry, shop), and lots of extras (two hot tubs, two pools which were a blessing after long days hiking in Zion) and a really good restaurant.
There are also lots of activities on offer which we were less interested in but great if you are interested in that. I think you could do hikes of the Eastern part of the park from the campground. Do be aware that to get to the most popular hikes in the park, it is a 45 min drive back to the visitors centre and then the shuttle bus in peak seasons. Alternatively this site is well positioned for quieter but still beautiful hikes of the East rim.
GuideWe were just looking for a place to sleep, checked out the first camping outside of Zion east entrance and decided to check out the next closest one according to info from the Zion ranger. Info said 2 miles, but more like 7-8. Upon arrival my kids eyes lit up and we booked 3 mid week nights. Free, private hot showers. Dish was station. Free pool and hot tub, ball sports, playground and fitness trail. Pay for stuff like bungie trampoline and rock wall and put put. 2 camp stores recently equipped, even individual beers(4%). Our site was a little small, tent was to close to the fire ring to feel comfortable with a fire. We peaked at the glamping tents and were jealous, maybe next time. Great spot at $30 a night plus taxes etc.
