Location is amazing for getting to trails and hikes in Zion quickly. The shuttle pick up/drop off is a 5 minute walk from the campground. We went in August so it was VERY hot and no fires were allowed so bring a propane grill or check online before for fire restrictions. Most of the sites are shaded to some degree, some completely shaded and others less, odds are good you’ll have some shade. Multiple bathrooms near by with water for washing up, doing dishes etc. Water didn’t say it was/wasn’t potable but we had bottled water anyways. Make sure you have hard-sided containers for food because deer and squirrels roam around and they WILL chew through whatever they can to get your food. Springdale is 2 mins drive away where there are restaurants, gas stations, gear rentals, markets, hotels, cafes and anything else you could ever need. The river runs real close to the camp so you could cool off during the day.. When we went there was high levels of algae so we were unable to swim there. Will stay there again but in the cooler season. Book early because the sites are 100% full everyday.
