Accessible only by hiking into Zion's southwest desert wilderness, Temple View Southwest Desert Campsite 1 requires advance planning and backpacking gear. The National Park Service manages this hike-in site with paid permits required for overnight stays.
Located within the park's backcountry camping system, the site sits among several other desert wilderness camping areas including Scoggins Wash Southwest Desert — Zion National Park and Junction Site Southwest Desert. Campers must carry all water and supplies, as no facilities exist at the remote location. Check current permit availability and wilderness regulations before planning your trip.
