Old Highway 89

Very short distance from highway, easily manageable with truck and 26 ft travel trailer. Fairly level area where several could park. We were the only ones here until a truck with a small pop-up trailer came in about dark. They went further in on the road and went e out of our view. Absolutely beautiful scenery here....mountains views out our door. Definitely would stay here again.

This was the perfect spot to stay while visiting Zion. We stayed over the 4th of July holiday and arrived early in the week to make sure we had a spot. Our spot was located in the large flat area as you drive straight in, across Old 89, and into the camping area. There was a very nice spot up on the hill with a little better view but I was not comfortable driving our fifth wheel up there.

Zion was about a 25 minute ride and the town of Kanab was a 20 minute ride in the other direction. If you are ever in the area on the 4th of July definitely go to the Kanab parade. What a patriotic experience.

This place was easy to access with a lot of space between sites. Even over the holiday weekend there was very little traffic.

Cell service was very good and the night sky is awesome.

This was a great free site. Got in easily with our Tacoma and 27 ft trailer. We came in at night and parked down by the cinder pit. If we had stayed a second night we would have moved up the hill for the better views. One of the roads too the top would have been difficult for our trailer but it looked like there was a second road that would have worked just fine. The views were beautiful up there. We were headed north bound on highway 89 when the directions told us to turn off and it was impossible to see at night. Luckily there is a second turn that is much easier to see and get into. We would definitely come back here.

We drove past the camp spots closest to the dirt road and up the small hill. A vehicle with good clearance would be recommended for the spots on the hill. We got a nice level location with a fire pit. Good 360 degree views. Excellent spot for viewing the stars. Highway 89 heading to Kanab is visible from the hill, but there is very little noise from the road. Nice views of the mountain range to the east.

Great vistas, easy access, some previous fire rings from rocks. Look for the faded stop sign beyond the end of the guardrail on the north side. Our site was nice and flat, close to some mounds for privacy bathroom visits, lots of dried juniper firewood if you walk bit. Close to Carmel Junction for goods, about 14 miles from Kanab and east (best impact view!) entrance to Zion. Some car noise but our hardshell A-frame kept us nicely insulated.

We Spent two weeks at this location and enjoyed our time there very much. Great location to many hikes and parks and easy access in and out as most reviews stated. We did scrape on the way into the main turn around area while crossing paved old route 89, but we are big, heavy, and low unfortunately. We were on the western side of the turnaround and seemed to be sheltered from some wind, and had great views in all directions. We had the place to ourselves for the most part aside from an occasional person stopping for the night. The two negatives were hearing semi trucks now and again and gunshots on the weekends. I also feel compelled to say there were several piles of animal parts in sight of the camping areas. I am usually down to clean up an area once we get there, but I didn’t have gloves thick enough to pick up what this “in my opinion”poacher left behind. That being said we felt completely safe there, and we would go back if around the area. I’ll bring thicker gloves next time just in case.
