South Campground — Zion National Park

Reviewed Aug. 21, 2018

Beautiful & Convenient Location

Sites available online 2 weeks before the date of your trip. Can reserve 3 nights at a time, max. $20/night for basic tent set up. Plumbed/flush toilets, accessible water spigots, clean facilities. No showersI had decent cell signal with Verizon, my friend struggled a little with T-Mobile but still had some. So close to the first shuttle stop, visitor center, and virgin river. Gorgeous view of the Watchman as you wake up. Walk-up sites have reserved parking spots. High was 105 during the day, didn't seem to cool off til about 2am each night, but was nice and windy at night. Also pretty close to the nearest town (Springdale)--maybe a five minute drive from the campground?

We hiked the subway, the narrows (top down, one day), lower emerald pools, canyon overlook, observation point, and hidden canyon. Everything was beautiful! The rangers were so lovely and helpful as we made our hiking plans. Angels Landing is closed indefinitely due to a storm earlier this summer but that's just an excuse for us to come back next year!

P.S. Campsites sell out FAST online. Set an alarm for 14 days before your trip and book first thing in the morning!
