We Got Lucky

This campground is notoriously hard to book. Booking here opens two weeks in advance and I just happened to grab the last site available in our timeframe as well as the best campsite in the entire campground (in my opinion, 102). We had the most unobstructed spectacular view of the towering red-rock cliffs across the river. Campground was very clean. No showers, clean flush toilets. Nice dump station and fresh water available. Before Covid, shuttle bus into and around the park was free and available about every 15 minutes. Since Covid, booking the shuttle bus is extremely hard; you can either book your tickets two weeks or one day in advance for $1 at a set 1 hour block of time and then freely use the shuttles once within the park. Hard part is booking the tickets, they sell out within minutes of opening so make sure you have your ducks in a row!! Zion was amazing. I would recommend at least 4 days in the park to experience all the best hikes and if traveling with kids I would wait until the youngest is 10 years old to be able to handle the scarier hikes like Angels Landing. Make sure to explore the town of Springdale for great food and shopping.
