    One of the river front tent sites
    Andrea B.

    It doesn't get much better than this!! If you're outdoorsy but still appreciate amenities this place is great!! The heated pool is lovely, playground for kids, laundry facilities available, the mini mart is nice for treats and things you may have forgotten. Lots of pull thru sites and full hookups which was nice with my trailer and others that are right along the Virgin River!! The views are amazing, as well. You're right in Zion Valley and can see all the red rock views over your morning coffee. Also there is a store across the street and lots of restaurants and shops within a 10-15 minute walk. This was a great way to enjoy Zion. Very clean place and helpful staff!!

    Great place to RV camp. They have water, sewer and electric hookups. I think they have cable too, but we're camping...no tv for us! The place has been rebuilt since the floods and I think they have done a great job. Of course because it's being rebuilt, there are some areas that don't have much shade. but they have planted more trees and in a couple years all sites will have shade. It is right next to the river, so that is amazing. Sucha beautiful spot you can walk to and enjoy Nature in all its beauty! Hubby and I walked down there with a a bottle of wine and enjoyed the nice day just sitting in the river. We didn't have any trouble with people during quiet times. We actually commented about how quiet the campground was. All the campers we saw were very respectful. Kids ride their bikes around the park, people walk their dogs on leash. The groundskeepers drive around often on their golf cart just keeping an eye on things. I really like that. Their office stays open until 11pm, which is great if you need extra firewood or anything else from the office. All the staff are awesome! So friendly!! They have a small playground and a pool. Nice showers.. we didn't use them because we have the RV, but they were clean. They give you tokens to use the showers. They have a couple spots for doggy doodie. The trash bins are easy to find. Our spot had a fire pit , BBQ and a picnic table. It was a nice spot on one of the corners. Pretty easy to back the trailer in and pull out. They are still rebuilding the main building so the staff is currently working out of a couple C Trains, but it looks like the new building will be pretty big...right next to the pool. They rent tent spots and they also have cabin rentals. They looked really nice! Some reviews complained about the wifi. But when the park is completely full and you have hundreds of people (adults and their children) all online, watching movies, streaming or whatever they do, of course it's going to be slow. What else do you expect?! If you have a crap ton of people on your OWN HOME WIFI, it would slow down. Cut them some slack...there's only so much any network can do. But we have stayed there when it's completely full and we've stayed there when it's half full.... Huge difference in connection speed when the place is packed with families! The wifi was fine after the weekend was over and the park is half full. They are located on the main drive through Springdale. Very easy to find and easy to maneuver through park. If you need any outdoor gear rentals or want to go on some tours, go across the street to Zion Adventure Company. They are awesome too!

    This is the second time we've stayed here, and we had a great time! It's all about location here and you can't get closer than this park with full hookups! Literally walking distance from the front entrance to Zion! The regular spaces in the park are pretty cramped, so I suggest the spots along the river. Our space D24 was very spacious and scenic! Although on the river, I wouldn't suggest going in, Giardia is common in the waters here. We travel with two labs and this place has no grass for them, so we bring astroturf squares for them to wee on! The bus system in town and in the park is great and gets you anywhere you need to go! New this year is their camper services building which has a great store with food and souvenirs. Also a huge laundromat! (Bring lots of quarters!)

    Cabin

    Great location . We stayed in their cabin for three nights. Receptionist was super friendly and helpful at check in. They have a cool store with nice selection of shirts and hats. Our cabin was cute and had all we needed- but bring your cups / silverware/dish soap. River near by so definitely don't forget to check it out. Only thing I wish they improved was their pool - add some umbrellas/ shades otherwise it is too hot to enjoy it.

    This is our first time to Zion so we picked this campground by other Yelp reviews. We are so happy with this place. It is huge with a river running behind the campgrounds and the beautiful mountain formations all around. Check in was easy and the gentleman was nice and funny. In the office they have many supplies and coffee and drinks, like they have in gas stations which is nice for people to buy a coffee on the way to a hike or any time of day. The campground is very clean and is very quiet for the amount of campers. There are nice cabins, a pool, and a tiny playground. One of the best things is that the Springdale shuttle stops right out in front and if you wanted to just walk to the Zion shuttle I believe it is only about .4 miles away. There are restaurants right near by and stores. Great place to stay!

    We stayed at this RV park for 6 nights on our work/play trip through all the southern Utah National Parks. It was our last stop, and we were excited to explore Zion NP. The location of this RV resort is incredibly close to the entrance and visitor center, making it a great jumping off point for the park. It's also walking distance to many shops and restaurants, so if you like to eat out or shop while RV'ing, this is a great spot. You are definitely "in town" and you have great views of the rock walls lining this narrow valley. In terms of our site, G5, is was fairly small and felt a bit like a parking lot. Granted, we booked this about 10 weeks in advance, and that is somewhat short notice to get a good spot in the new normal of everyone camping. When we walked around the park at night, there are larger and nicer sites, especially the ones around the creek, but most of those don't have sewer hookups. We were trying to work Monday through Friday, and our Verizon MIFI worked well, but our T-Mobile MIFI did not. Our AT&T cell phones worked okay as well. My biggest complaint about our site was the foxtails. We have a tiny Pomeranian and I spent the entire trip picking these little buggers out of her fur.... it's nature, I know, but other RV resorts (like KOA's) will pull these annoying weeds, since the rest of the park is dirt and gravel. Bathrooms looked clean, but we didn't use the showers at all, since we use our own shower in our rig, so I can't comment on that, other than they issue shower tokens, which seems a bit strange in this day and age. Staff was nice, were flexible when we needed to cut our trip short by one night and refunded us for that night. If you want a high end RV resort, this isn't it. If you want rustic camping, this isn't it either. It's a transient tourist location that people stay about two nights to see Zion, and then move on. Other than getting in Watchman campground in the park, this is probably the best option if you want to be close to the entrance of Zion. Last thing - this town (and Utah in general) does not like dogs. Even with beautiful weather and lovely outdoor patios for dining, places will not let you bring your dog with you. Also, the restaurants in this town are not very good, so stock up on food, and cook at your campsite with your dog.

    I would give them 5 stars except they need better communication. Most importantly, the warning about motorhomes and the Zion park tunnel needs to be more prominent. In there confirmation email and on their website. You can't get to them from the east without going through a tunnel, and the national park restricts access to that tunnel for motorhomes after a certain time. And whatever that time is, in reality it is half hour earlier than that because the park rangers are jerks and don't wanna deal with motorhomes in their park in general and so make it much more difficult. And it's a 2 hour drive to go around to enter Springdale from the west instead of the east. Other than that, this is a lovely campground. Really, Springdale is a lovely city. Zion National Park is like the Disney world of nature. The bus system is fantastic. They really know how to organize and move crowds of people. This campground is centrally located. Right on a River. Scenic views. Has a pool. Some of the spots can be crowded, but you are allowed to select your site in advance on a map so just make your reservation in advance and you can have a fantastic spacious spot right on the river.

    We had a fantastic time at this site! So much fun for the family and plenty of stuff for the kids to get into. Our only complaint would be an employee named Mark who threatened calling the police on my 12 year old for his e-bike. The bike is slow and to be honest kind of a beater. He can't go any faster on it than another child on a peddle bike. The interaction was completely inappropriate freaked my kid out. When I finally found him to talk it though he was super rude. So LOOK OUT FOR MARK.

    Stayed at the campground for 4 nights. A good spot to stay with your RV if you are looking for an affordable place to stay in Zion. Super convenient to the park entrance and a Springdale shuttle. Bathrooms were 4/5 and the coin laundry facility was a 3/5. Campground was packed tight and there isn't much room to spread out at each site. Suggestion is to book an RV site AND a tent site so you have access to the river which is a good break from the Zion heat on the middle of the day!

    Zion Canyon Campground. I'm in awe of this view!

My friends and I did a weekend trip here, and got to do two hikes and stargaze. The Narrows: I've watched videos and did some research before the trip. Highly recommend getting the $35 hiking set with shoes, stick, and socks from Zion Outfitters. To get to the narrows, you'll take the shuttle to the last stop, and hike the Riverside Walk trail to the end. The Narrows goes pretty far, and there are no restrooms once you get off the shuttles. The hike is very rocky, and you're essentially in the water most of the time. The water is absolutely gorgeous, and I'd recommend starting as early as 8am! Water is very cold, and cools down throughout the day. There's no real "end" so you kind of keep going until you're ready to turn out. Our friends and I, medium-hikers, spent about 6 hours and walked 8 miles round trip. The hike is mostly shaded, and only very few parts of the water went up to about chest level. For reference, I'm 5 feet. I'd recommend spending a full day for this hike to really enjoy it and a relaxing pace. We also did the Watchman trail on a beautiful morning, and it was so cool getting to go from bottom to top of the mountains. The hike was approximately 3 miles and took us 3 hours with the inclines. We also got to see a sheep along the way! At night, we stargazed right by shuttle stop 2, aka the museum. Because it is nearly pitch black out there, you could see so many stars and constellations. I don't personally know any other than the big and small dippers, but it was really cool to check it out!

Kolob Canyons is a very pretty area, but less developed than Zion Canyon. Anyway, Zion has steep and sheer cliffs that leave you breathless. It also has a river and swampland, as well as emerald pools and waterfalls. It is so varied in its landscape, I really can't compare it to anything else. I hiked a whole bunch here: Angel's Landing, Emerald Pools, Weeping Rock, Riverside Walk, Canyon Overlook, even a bit of the Narrows. I want to do a through hike of the Narrows next time - I didn't have enough time in my schedule this time unfortunately. I saw more wildlife than expected too. I think a lot of the animals are habituated to humans, and aren't frightened at all. I also love how well run the shuttle system is. The bus drivers will radio to each other if there's a long line at any stop, and they will send an empty bus there to help avoid extended waits. It's so thoughtful. I stayed in the Zion Lodge, but I'm sure that the gateway town of Springdale has a similarly efficiently run shuttle system as well.

There are chains which you use to help navigate the trail, so if the trail is overloaded it could get backed up and potentially increase the number of slips and (potentially life threatening) falls. When I visited, someone had actually fallen to their death a day or two prior (RIP), and when I got to Scout Lookout, I overhead several people deciding to not complete the trail despite having permits. I think this helped reduce congestion. Another tip is that not a lot of people want to hike this later in the day, so if you start hiking past 2-3 PM, not a lot of hikers will be on the chains. The end of the trail will give expansive views of Zion Canyon. You will definitely want to take a rest here and enjoy some snacks of one of the most scenic views in the United States. The ground squirrels and chipmunks are also quite friendly, having associated people with accidentally dropped food during snack breaks. They will literally crawl on you and are quite persistent on trying to share your food. There are bathrooms on Scout Lookout, but no water.

I logged a 4.8-4.9 mile hike from the Grotto trailhead up to Angels Landing and back down again. The hike up to Scout Lookout was challenging because of the elevation, while Angels Landing was more challenging due to the technical aspect. They have chains to hold on to in most of the sections. People brought their young children to hike, which I think is irresponsible and dangerous when one small slip could mean a tumble down the canyon.
