Zion River Resort accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups on concrete pads, though campers should prepare for rough access roads leading to the property. Located 16 miles from Zion National Park's main entrance in Virgin, this private resort sits along the Virgin River with a mix of gravel and grass sites spread across spacious lots.
The campground draws working campers and families with its WiFi service and social hall featuring tables and seating areas. Amanda H. found the internet "totally possible to work remotely from here" with good T-Mobile cell coverage, though connectivity can slow during peak occupancy periods. The four tent sites cluster together in a gravel area without shade, while RV sites benefit from scattered trees providing cover. A heated pool, hot tub, and three separate fenced dog runs serve guests year-round.
River access requires walking down a path past a protective berm, though seasonal algae blooms sometimes restrict water activities. The on-site store stocks groceries and camping supplies, while the bathhouse includes coin-operated laundry and seven-minute timed showers. Michael C. notes that "service pedestals are at the head of the site, so you'll probably need 20' of hose" for water connections.
Sites sit approximately 30 feet apart with fire rings and adjustable grates for wood burning. The campground requires reservations and allows pets throughout the property. Campers seeking a more rustic experience might consider Kolob Terrace Road Campsites nearby for primitive camping options.
Description
Just minutes from Zion National Park, we are ideally located for easy access to several of the nation’s most beautiful parks. Zion River Resort is the perfect base camp for day trips to Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon North Rim, Cedar Breaks National Monument and many other of the Southwest's most popular destinations. Visit our Itineraries page for vacation adventure ideas and our Calendar to see the exciting events we offer throughout the year. For your comfort, each site has full hook-ups, a shade tree, fire ring (with the exception of 4 sites), picnic table, free Wi-Fi, and cable television. Pull thru sites are 60-70 feet long with a concrete pad and a grassy area perfect for relaxing on your lounge chair. Riverside Back-In sites average 40-50 feet deep, have gravel, and the Virgin River flowing behind them. There is a berm running along the river’s edge for the protection of our young guests; however, you can hear the river running all year. Standard Back-In sites range from 30-40 feet deep, have 30 amp electric, and are available with either a concrete pad & grass or gravel only. These sites are perfect for smaller RVs. Please help us maintain our desert grass by not putting down mats, rugs, or carpets. We will be happy to help you choose just the right site for your preferences and needs. Tent sites are located beside the Virgin River, have small pea gravel, a fire ring, picnic table, and electrical outlet. Potable water is located at either end of the tenting area. The camper kitchen is available for cooking and washing dishes. The restrooms, showers, and laundry are close to the tent area. All resort facilities are included.
