Pros heated pool, great location and views friendly staff. Great store across the street if you need anything. There are a few cons the spots are very small but our first neighbors were super friendly so it was fine. Our second neighbors not so much but maybe they are new to camping life. It would be nice to have better river access for people without a river front spot. Cell service and WiFi aren’t very good which I see as a pro but some may think is a con
Camped on a river site. Very small sites. Barely fit a tent behind our sedan. Many campers had a tent on top of car set up, would recommend for this site. Had other campers walking through our campground, so make friends with your neighbors. Tent stakes would not go into hard gravel ground. However, the river is relaxing to listen to and the location is unbeatable. Thought the six minutes of shower per token was a bit stingy. Get ice bags and wood from the market across the street for cheaper. The best part of the river sites are the trees to hang a hammock!
What you would expect from a KOA or RV park. Nice restrooms and showers, ice available and Wi-Fi. We stayed in a tent site in a campervan but it's not really the way to go for tents (while we got a shaded spot they are mostly in the sun and all on dusty dirt).
Camped with some friends and it was a very nice, clean and quiet campground very close to the Zion Park entrance
Full sun, 25 ft trailer max, quiet site in beautiful surroundings.
Checkin was easy, all hookups available. Convenient location for cafe's and stores. Fantastic location to the visitor centre and shuttles. Some noise as it is one of the larger camps we stayed at but overall could not complain.
This place is nice. Easy to pull in and hook up. Very busy with people this time of year and everyone seems at ease and enjoying themselves. Scenery is absolutely beautiful! I would stay here again! We had our own facilities on our bus so didn't use theirs so don't know the conditions. Place is pretty quiet and clean considering all the people. Very comfortable stay.
Beautiful scenery and perfect location! Walking distance to Zion park entrance and great way to avoid crazy traffic. Our site was right on the river with an amazing view of the canyons. Spaces are a little small but the location makes up for it. River front spots don’t have sewer but power and water and a dump station. Showers were clean and close to sites.
If you want to camp here I recommend making your reservations in advance. If you are unable to there is a campground right outside of Zion. It’s not on the maps. You drive through Zion. You can do late night check ins. Zion in an amazing place to camp. So much to explore. Definitely worth coming here.
The river was by far the best part of this campground. Only about a half mile from cool places like Cafe Soleil and the Zion Brew Pub. Certainly can't blame the campground for the weather, but after being relocated due to flood damage, we were put in the only site without any kind of shade, which became pretty unpleasant when the heat got up to 115 on the days we visited. Amenities like pool and laundry were also closed. Make sure when you go that you have alternative plans to cool off after hiking in the morning! Bathrooms also not super clean and they only have coin-operated showers here.
Flash flooding only a few days ago and they are open for business! You get a token for a 6 minute shower per person per night. Damage from the flood means no pool right now or laundry services but the campground is open and just a short walk to Zion. We weren’t aware of how close and sat waiting for the shuttle we could have walked in that amount of time. Decided to stay longer in park and just walk back.
I have stayed at this campground twice. The absolute BEST spots are right on the river. We had a great time with our river spot, we brought chairs out on the river and could hang out all day. We went river rafting with our inner tubes as well. The views from the campsite is ABSOLUTELY amazing. We stayed for a whole week, and the views of the canyons never got old. We would see deer all the time come to to the river. This campground is right outside of the park but a very small walk that took us 1 0 minutes, I think about half a mile. Or you can take the free Springdale shuttle, the shuttle stop is right out front of the campground. There is a restaurant right next door and a mini mart across the street with all the essentials but obviously very costly. The site itself was a little small and are close to your neighbors but it still was very relaxing. Our site R6 was shaded with two big trees we could put our hammock on. The only weird thing is the site said it had a grill but it didn’t it only had a fire pit. Also make sure if you get the spots along the river they have no sewer connection but there still is a dumping station in the campgrounds themselves.
If you can’t snag a spot inside the park this is the next best place to RV or tent camp. Amazing views surround you, clean bathrooms and showers, great spots right by the river if you can grab one. Easy 10 min walk to the park entrance and lots of restaurants nearby.
We’re packed in here. Wifi is bad. There’s a mulberry tree dropping berries in our picnic table and the ground around it. Cleaning it would involve more supplies than I’ve got and our shoes tracked berries onto our RV carpet. 😕 Theoretically they have wifi, but it's awful.
We absolutely loved this site. The front desk was extremely helpful about booking us a second night. You are .5 miles from the Zion entrance so we rode our personally owned bikes. The site was level and had a lot of space (we have a 22 ft airstream and a GMC). Our site had tree coverage which was nice to keep the airstream cool and we were right near the bathrooms which were really nice. They give you coins for the shower (6 minutes) which was plenty of time. You are right near the restaurants and general store for any needs.
Camping under the mountains is exactly what I had in mind for our trip and this site delivered. Wake up to the mountains out your front door, hear the stream just steps away. Plus, kid-approved playground within the grounds. Sites are pretty close together and can be hard to navigate with larger rigs.
We suggest one of the lower/back sites especially in one of the loops to the back right as it was low traffic and our kids made quick friends within that circle drive and the ride bikes together for hours right around the loop.
Plus walking and biking distance to Zion National park, no need to even find-pay for parking if you’d prefer a short bike down the street. We recommend hoodoos for ice cream (and that shop has all the essentials you might run low on too) and the friendliest staff. You won’t regret your stay here!
No covid precautions in place. Staff do not wear masks, even indoors. Large groups (20+ people walking around the grounds) are around the campgrounds and all lots are very close together. Showers are only allowed to be six minutes and a token is required. Staff is rude and unhelpful.
It does have a pretty view and a great location.
Stayed for 3 nights. Spots are very tight so no sense of privacy but the backdrop is just magnificent. One can also hear the Virgin River run through especially at night. You are paying for the proximity to Zion’s main entrance and shops and restaurants. If you can’t book inside Zion, this spot is the best contingency.
It’s pretty busy and the spots are located very close together so no privacy
The biggest negative for me was, usually I am boondocking and need a spot after 5 days of not hookups and no showers. So I booked this and was excited for a long shower however they give you a 6 minute token for the shower. If you want longer shower you have to pay 5$ for another token
Only reason why I find that somewhat cheesy is the spot was around 78$ for the night
The nice thing about the spot is it was very central to town so walking only took 10-15 mins to get into the main area
Probs wouldn’t come back but it was fine for what I needed in a quick last minute fix!
Zion is amazing. There is no denying that. But as for the Zion Canyon Campground, I personally didn't dig it. Whether you are tent camping or in an RV, you're essentially in a parking lot. The spaces are 12 feet wide so you better hope you have nice neighbors.
Every public area is filled with masses of people taking zero precautions during the pandemic. Even the front desk staff isn't wearing masks during a state mandate requiring them.
We had a (very expensive) paid reservation for 3 nights and left after the first night.
Great time with family and lots of amenities available.
We stayed here 10/6-10/9/20. We stayed in site D29 right on the river. Great spot. Beautiful river view/access. Too bad the river was contaminated at the time with some sort of neurotoxin. Full hook ups. Mediocre cell service and horrible WIFI. Connected to a hotel for friends without RV’s. Short walk to amazing Zion. Would definitely stay here again.
Very close sites, but really nice. We stayed right in the river. Very friendly campers next to us. Bathrooms and showers were really clean. Really enjoyed our stay here. We got lucky finding a site so close to the entrance to Zion.
Pretty typical for an RV Park...lots of people, dogs and trailers. Showers and bathrooms are nice and clean. Not ideal for tent camping cause the sites are very close together and it gets loud in the morning, but if you can’t get a spot inside the park, this is a good option.
This campground is essentially right outside of the south entrance gate to Zion National Park. They have very spacious tent sites, but it is a bit on the pricey side. There are restrooms as well as showers and the campground is usually pretty busy. Overall a nice spot if you're unable to get a camp site inside of the park.
The location is breathtaking. Awe inspiring mountains all around. The Virgin river runs right next to the back sites. Location is a super convenient half mile from the Zion enterance. There is a very well stocked store right across the street. Our site, B10 however, is probably THE worst site in the campground. It is incredibly tough to back into when the sites in front are full. There is a power pole with an extremely bright streetlight that blazes high intensity beams of eye melting light into your camper all night long. Despite all of this, I still rate at 5 stars due to the incredible scenery. If you can get a spot here, just make sure it is NOT B10.
Very dusty - too bright , no nature experience Too crowded
This was a good campsite for our tent. There were many more rv sites that were available. There are showers and bathrooms available. Each tent site has a firepit with grill top, and briquette BBQ. The site were large enough for two tents, very dusty and some Rocky sites.
Some sites have more shade than others, in the full sun. Later in the day the entire campground is shaded.
This place is great for RV and Tent camping. There are 2 locations of restrooms and showers. Both have male and female restrooms on oposite sides along with 4 showers on each side. Very clean. Most of the tent sites are shaded they are 35’x16’ they do take your vehicle on the site as well so plan accordingly. Each site has a fire pit with grill and a stand alone grill. Really great place to stay. The Virgin River runs alongside the campsite. It is so close to the National Park as well.
Walk right into Zion from this campground! Not only is it convenient, but most spots are shaded and you can also use the nearby hotel amenities (outdoor pool, vending, laundry (for a fee)). The showers/bathrooms are very clean and you are given shower coins per person/per day. We lucked out with one spot being open but I would recommend booking ahead of time!
