The perfect location for all your camping and RV needs conveniently located just East of the Zion National Park boundary.  Our spacious and beautiful campground offers everything you will need for a perfect camping experience.

Zion RV and Campground (Hi-Road)

This is average private roadside RV campground located on the main highway heading into Zion National Park from the east.  The site has decent facilities with a gas station and cafe located across the street.  If you are planning to stage and enter Zion early in the morning this may be a good one night stay for you.  The site was a bit busty and noisy from the highway traffic.   The setup is an open parking lot with electrical and water hookups.  If you are out of options and want to camp close to the National Park this may be a last resort for some.  The main attraction here is the proximity to the east entrance of Zion.  

Roadside RV campsite 

Unsanitary and very crowded campsites but cool nature and wild animals

Terrible 

We got one of the last sites available but it was a group site. The people next to us parked so close, when there was a ton of room available at the other end of the site. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting, so bad we make jokes about it years later. I would never ever return and don't recommend going there.

Zion

The second stop on our campervan honeymoon extravaganza, we stayed here for a few nights.  This gave us the opportunity to explore a little more on our bikes. The grounds were close to the paved bike trail which was nice. The grounds we're well kept and peaceful at night.  Bathrooms we're what you would want from a campground. Had a great time!

Part 2

This campground is located right outside the east entrance to Zion National Park.  The campground inside the park were completely booked as they usually are during the summer months.  There is a little store across the street for for food and supplies and on site there are showers and game rooms.  This campground isn't the best for tents.  We bent a couple of our stakes trying to get them into the hard clay ground.  But the proximity to the East Entrance to the park makes it a great spot after long days exploring the park.  Nothing too special about the campground.  There are a couple of decent hiking trails at the campground, but it felt like it was mostly a stop over the day before or after.

Closest campground to Zion National Park

Do yourself a favor and hike the West Rim Trail! The scenery is unmatched! 
Angels Landing was scary but the panoramic view made it worth the steep hike to the top!

Great camp ground with all the amenities to make car camping luxurious. Pool, laundry, snacks and not to mention walking distance to everything in town. There is a nice river running behind the camp ground 

Camp ground close to Zion National Park entrance 

Zion was a whole-nother experience!! Fire red sunsets, completely different setting from where I was use too and one of the tallest trail hikes and rock climb I have been on, seems that throughout the day the settings always change! Cabin rental or camper sites available outside the park trail head. Be prepared for masterpiece painted memories!!

Out Of The Elements

majestic

We were unable to get a campsite within Zion National Park, and ended up camping here for a few nights instead. The campsites were clean, with access to toilets, showers, laundry facilities, and even a game room. They were near the south gate to the park, which offered a very scenic drive into the heart of the park, although the drive was a little longer than would probably be ideal. We actually ended up being relieved we stayed here instead of inside the park, simply because the park was so crowded! It was nice to escape at the end of the day to a place with just as magnificent views.

A good alternative to camping within Zion

...is actually where I stayed although this app apparently hasn't added this to their map. Just outside Zion National Park, this resort has absolutely everything you'll need. ATV, horseback, rock climbing, and even canyoneering tours are available. With that being said, it's a given campers will have access to running water and astoundingly clean showers as well. The staff were all extremely welcoming and I certainly recommend this resort for solo up to large groups as well, being that large numbers can easily be accommodated for.

Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort

Got to Zion too late to snag a campsite in the park, so we headed back out the East entrance to the privately run Zion RV and Campground. On the plus side, it is right outside the east entrance, its not as big as the park campgrounds, it has showers on site as well as laundry and a game room if thats your thing, and we were able to get a site around noon as the weekend approached. On the downside, sites are tiny and tents are mixed in with RV's and campers, so lots of generator noise, and the bathrooms were not as clean as many others I've seen. Truly, this is an RV campground, not tent, but sometimes you take what you can get. No campfires allowed while we were there due to dry conditions, but there were fire rings for when conditions are better as well as picnic tables for each site. There is a gas station and pizza place conveniently located across the street.

Zion camping alternative

A lifesaver since Zion itself is now a madhouse.  Good luck ever getting a first come first serve spot in Zion.  The staff was very helpful in letting us stay with our spur-of-the-moment arrival.  Pretty rugged site, but with full hookups &amp; a campfire pit. Shower &amp; laundry facilities too.

Zion RV & Campground, near east gate Zion, UT

Great woman and helpful at the front desk. Campsite along the river. Beautiful and calm. Saw dee walking around the campste at night. First time camping wih my mom. So fun!

First time camping mother/daughter

Stayed here one night in our camper van. Not a lot of rv spaces (completely full when we showed up late on a Saturday night) so we opted for a tent site which was cheaper anyways and they had plenty of open slots for a Saturday. It probably helped that it was rainy for the tent sites.

Good location, about 5 minutes down the road from Zion's east entrance. And zion is just amazing! Highly recommend taking a few days here!

The grounds have nice showers and restrooms along with coin-op laundry and foosball tables. Decent wifi (writing this review here) and nice couches in lounge area.

And the view is amazing to wake up too here! See photos.

Good in a pinch!

This is an ok campground on the east side of Zion’s. We stayed here for three nights while visiting the park. It is quiet but a bit of a drive to the many road to take the buses into the park. The facility was clean but needs updating and some maintenance. They are some beautiful new cabins so hopefully they will update the facilities soon too.

OK Campground East of Zions

We stayed here over Labor Day weekend since all the sites inside the park were booked full. The location is great, a bit of a drive to the visitors center but we knew that from the beginning. We had a site right on the road and were concerned at first but it ended up being pretty quiet and the view of the rock faces from our site was amazing. There was a very loud group that was shouting and singing until 1AM one night but other than that it was a wonderful experience (dead silent the second night we were there). Would definitely recommend and will stay again

Great Site

Not as good as camping in the park and twice as expensive this campground (in November) offered plenty of campsites on relatively level ground. The fire pits are prehistoric without any grates but... if you can’t get a spot in Zion... you’ll hopefully appreciate finding a spot here. 

Plan B

This is in a great location. There are (approximately) 20 RV sites and 50 camp sites.  Located before Zion park entrance.
Camps have fire rings, some have picnic benches.  Facility has flush toilets, showers and washers/dryers.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the showers were not so clean.  Toilets and drinks were.  
Also, they have wi-fi available.

Great Location

Super nice sites! Wasn't super busy, had nice picnic table and  fire ring. Amenities were super helpful. They have horses too which was just kinda fun

Awesome!

everything you would need after long days in zion and Bryce. really enjoyed the drive here would have not seen so much beauty had I not booked this place to stay. happy to have made this choice to see the other half of zion. nice park, showers, bathrooms, fire rings, and tables. The only advice is to pack sandals for the shower and bring your own table cloth.

all the amentities

Made reservations. Pulled in after 9pm and posted sign said to go across street to the store. They were closed too. Called #, no answer. Called the 800# and we were given our site #. I recommend calling day ‘of’ to get your site as cell service is very limited. We were there 7 nights. Campgrounds were good (a little overgrown) and camp office where bathrooms and laundry were was very spacious. We had hot showers for only 2 of those 7 days. Other days were luke warm. In colder months that wldv been in issue. Overall, we wld stay here there again. Only 5 min from Zion east entrance and there’s a gift shop - The Get -and food shop across the street. The pizza is amazing!!



Basecamp for 1 week of hiking Zion & Bryce

I was not impressed with this pvt campground. Everything appears rundown, worn out and weedy. The tent sites have old crappy tables that need paint, fire rings are just rocks, some are full of trash.  This entire CG is close to the Hwy 9 traffic noise. Tent sites are $40 plus tax!!! Crazy!! RV sites are $54 and many of the RV sites appear to have residents long term.  There are some primitive 4x4 tent spots above the main office bldg but I cannot imagine how rough they are.  This is the only CG at the east entrance to Zion NP and it needs some investment and serious overhaul maintenance. Their customers are the unfortunate folks that could not get reservations in the Zion NP CGs...the BLM needs to establish a fee CG if this east entrance of Zion is going to be developed. 

Run down and over priced

These sites are located just outside of Zion, but near nothing else. The only thing near by is a ranch (which has fantastic food or just grab a drink and sit by the fire while the cowboys play music at the end of the day). We stayed in a cabin, and while small was cozy and couldn’t hear a thing. Area was not busy at all, and really felt like we had the place to ourselves. Almost no cell service, so have maps downloaded if you need them.
