Unexpected quiet in Zion

South CG is situated near the VC and the Watchman CG. We had a “walk-in” site on the riverbank (no river access, though, due to intense shrubbery and a fence). These walk-in sites are just across the Pa’rus trail from where you park your car - there’s no real distance to carry your things, so don’t let that deter you! These walk-in sites were a little nicer because you’re slightly more spread out, but the Pa’rus trail traffic is running between your site and your car. We didn’t have any issues with noise. Considering that the CG was full, it was surprisingly quiet. The specific site we stayed in, #72, was covered in anthills and ants. The camp hosts were helpful, but apparently this is a recurring problem with site #72, so I’d just select a different spot. The other walk-to sites didn’t seem affected by the ant problem. We put our tent in front of the car on the paved parking pad, which was ant-free.
