In a park like Zion that's so incredibly popular, I was pleasantly surprised by how perfect this campground is.

The location could not be better. You can easily walk to the visitor center for water, food, and shuttles. Heck, you can walk all the way into town it's so close!

The campsites generally have good shade. Sunrise and sunset in the canyon are both spectacular and well worth seeing. Once it's dark, you can see a band of the milky way over the canyon and thousands of stars.

NOTE: pretty high winds at night (hence the canyon). You MUST stake your tent. Maybe bring extra blankets.

Also, since this one's first come first served, get there early or expect to be dispersed camping outside of the canyon.
