Zion Canyon Campground & RV Resort

This spot offers great views outside of Zion NP-it is easily accessible and offers various amenities not present in the park campgrounds (e.g showers and water). Unfortunately, the spaces are very crowded and narrow-if you intend on staying here, ensure that your site offers some form of shade. There are spaces in the park which are on a literal gravel pit without any form of shade-for us, in a pop-up tent, this was a big issue. If you are not able to reserve a spot inside the park, then this can be an ok alternative-given the offered amenities and proximity to Zion NP

Overpriced for what the space you get, in a tent, you're pretty much on the site next to you. The ground is hard packed which made it hard to get the stakes in the ground. The site next to us were sleeping in their SUV, and they were running the motor at night to keep themselves cool.

Showers are nice, but for the price and the crowding, I'd rather stay outside on some HipCamp property and utilize a shower elsewhere that you can use without camping.

I assume they overbooked, because I reserved, got a confirmation, saw the charge pending in my account. Then a few days later I see my pending charge cancelled. Called the resort, they claimed they had no record of me, despite my pending transaction and confirmation. Would not recommend EVER, unless you want to chance having a spot or not. We drove days to get here and now we have no where to park, our passes are useless. We have dogs so boondocking in 99 degree weather isn't an option, hence planning for a RV park.

Planning ahead helps. I booked a river site on the first day available and got a river site which is a super big bonus. Location is so key in Zion especially during COVID times. Getting into Zion on shuttles is tricky nowadays, but plan ahead to rent ebikes across the street at Zion Adventure Company. Keep in mind that sites are pretty close but the great location overrides that and the views are so cool. They have a nice little pool, clean showers, and they sell firewood at the desk.

Our first time RVing and stayed here a few nights. River sites have no sewer to dump but dump station is behind the restrooms. Location was perfect and we were able to walk to the park which is about 0.5 miles away. With 4 young kids it took us about 20 min. Plenty of restaurants to eat. One night, we had a louder crowd next door but most other guests were respectful. Plenty of spacing between river sites.

First, I'll talk about the pro's. Being within walking distance to the entrance of Zion National Park is definitely a pro, but that's the biggest one there is. The staff are very helpful and friendly, too. And it was nice to have full hook-ups, including Cable TV (although I didn't watch it that much). Plus the views are gorgeous. Now for the con's: terribly overpriced, very crowded and close quarters, DIRT & DUST EVERYWHERE! I have to belabor that one for a while. There was no grass, no soft pebbled rocks, no landscaping whatsoever, just dirt, gravel, dust, dust, and more dust. After a week staying there, it will take me a month to get rid of the dust and dirt, inside, outside, through, and in places I had no idea dust & dirt could accumulate. My poor puppy will take two or three baths to get cleaned. Also, there was NO working WIFI the entire week, despite advertising they had WIFI. I have a feeling it hasn't worked in a long time and they just don't care to fix it. It was terribly inconvenient. I couldn't get T-Mobile cell coverage or Internet except very early in the mornings, either. Also, they had dumpsters situated in two places toward the front on the park, which meant those of us toward the back got to haul their trash a long distance every day with the added bonus of getting dirty and dusty in the process. The town of Springdale is ridiculously overpriced, too. ($5 for a single scoop of gelato!!!) Next time, I'll either stay at a campground in the park if a spot is available or I'll stay 20 miles or so outside the park and have much nicer accommodations for less money.

This place is beautiful but crowded. We stayed in A26 the first two nights and it was great!! Only one camper to the back of us and a clear view of the scenery. Tight turns trying to get in but even the big rigs were able to make it through. Had to move to B10 the last night and I do not recommend this site. Felt like we were sharing a site with our neighbors, backed up against a fence where they were doing construction, had a street light on above us all night and right by the playground. If you aren’t a kids person, the noise that comes from the playground is a little intense at site B10. (Although if you have kids it might be a convenient spot). Overall the facilities were good, we were provided shower tokens. Staff variable in friendliness. Overall, glad we stayed here for the central location. Used Zion Guru for shuttle and Narrows gear. Zion Adventure Company for electric bikes one day. Great experiences at both.

The location and views is what makes this park a prime location and access to Zion National Park. Less than a mile from the front entrance to the park. Views are spectacular.

Sites are all gravel with full hook ups. Be mindful that sites along the Virgin River are absolutely beautiful, but some do not have sewer hook up- electric and water only. Not having a neighbor on the riverside is an enticing trade-off depending on your rig.

We were in site E41, nice pull through with the river across the street that could be heard. Despite the Wi-Fi antenna being 10' from our campsite, we were unable to connect during our 3 day stay. All in all a nice stay for a busy park.
