Free camping that's close to Zion but is hot!
Another campground that provides quick, free access to Zion National Park and a large part of the St. George area. There is camping all along Sheep Bridge road but be aware it gets very buy in the summer despite the soaring temperatures. Show up early before 3 and you should be able to get a spot any day besides the weekend. An even closer portion of Zion to the campground is accessed through Kolob Terrace Rd. just to the east. It passes in and out of the park before ending at Kolob Reservoir. The campgrounds are primitive and most contain fire rings.
