Zion Canyon Campground & RV Resort

This place is absolutely beautiful no matter where you park you get a great view. Very unique experience! Wonderful stream that runs through this camp ground as well. Pet friendly and worth the little bit off the freeway if you’re passing through. So thankful I made the decision to stop because when I woke up and looked out the window of my camper I could have died from happiness it was so beautiful!

I truly wasn’t sure how this trip was going to go. My wife and I have a 3 and 2 year old- we had scheduled to boon dock for the first time with a group of 5 families in Duck Creek this weekend, however the “leaders” (Everyone’s mutual friend) cancelled two days prior. We are newish to this and prefer full hook ups having the young children with us until we are “pro”. Lol

We live in Las Vegas and this was the only place with a two night stay available within the distance we were willing to travel.

Overall- check in was nice and friendly. It was easy to find our site! I pull a 24ft TT so backing in was not too hard. I did not have to ask anyone to move something. However, I was asked to move my truck once although it was in my spot, that’s how crowded it can feel. The smaller your rig the better for this campsite. It is definitely capable of accommodating large motor homes and TTs but we went for walks each night and noticed a common trend- the larger your camper the smaller our site felt. Some people barley had room after their pop outs to enjoy their space in my opinion. We don’t have pop outs. I really thought we have the perfect sized TT for our space we got lucky on! It was the only space available for 2 nights when we were looking! Only 185 miles outside of Vegas so that was awesome!

We ate at “The Spotted Dog”. It’s right across the street. I’m Vegetarian and the options for Meat and Veggie lovers are great! The service was excellent too!

Pay the $35 for a week park pass!!! We drove the scenic route and it was breathtaking. 12 miles of scenic mountain driving and tunnels! Then back down. So beautiful. We will be back for sure!

Has a park (small) and pool (small) but there’s so much more to do there than that! Enjoy a walk along the river at the camp ground!

AT&T service was in n out but the park has wi-fi

The sites are small. Ours did not have a cap on the sewer. The site is all dirt, so everything gets dirty. The security responded right away when I called after midnight because some one was playing music too loudly in their RV. I could hear the words to La Macarena and they were not next door! Convenient that you can walk to grocery shopping and restaurants. The view was great if you look up.

I was pleasantly surprised with this park. We had a group of 37 people that were spread out to 7 different sites. One would expect with a group as large as ours that one of us would have a complaint of some kind. Not one. Checking in was easy. We had three RV's as part of the group to arrive first. Luckily there weren't any other RV's/trailers parked along the curb when you enter or else one of us would have been blocking the entrance. The location of the park is just a 1/2 mile from Zion NP visitor center. Easy walk or you can take the city shuttle. Because of COVID, the normal Springdale city shuttles weren't running. However, they have provided another free shuttle service to get place to place within Springdale. The shuttles have a "St. George Shuttles" logo on the side of them.

Shower coins are provided to you at check in. They are good for 6 mins. I personally did not use the showers, but those in our group who did use them were very pleased. I did use the laundry room located at the hotel. $2 per load for the washer and $2 for the dryer. Plenty of washers/dryers and easy to use.

All of the sites are gravel and level for the most part. There was only one site I saw where the tires of an RV that were slightly off the ground to be level. (34 ft. RV / site A12)

I highly recommend this RV park and will definitely be back.

I don't know what was worse - the filthy camp, trash everywhere, bins overflowing with garbage OR the RUDE staff, and completely incompetent and arrogant manger Felicia!! It is unacceptable that a prime location campgrounds are so poorly managed. There is trash literally everywhere you look. The camp was half empty but they lied to us that it's full and if we need move spots. They don't know where they put people and later would't admit they have done a mistake. The manager Felicia is completely unprofessional. She argues with clients, fights with them, talks over them and raises her voice. Do not expect any service there. Your trip will be ruined. Better stay away, be safe and book any other camp BUT Zion Canyon! We have stayed at Ponderosa and Zion River Resort and the difference is night and day!! The staff at the other two camps were hospitable, friendly and helpful through our entire stay. I truly hope Zion Canyon Campgrounds either goes out of business and makes room to a professional new owner to take over or changes management ASAP. I am surprised they haven't been shut down by the Health Department by now!! Stay safe you, all and hope our experience is helpful for your future plans!
P:S: NO Wi-FI, no phone coverage!!

My wife and I stayed here for three nights for our National Parks trip. Overall, we drove away feeling good about money pretty well spent. The access to Zion is great, especially having to get in line at 4am. The views around the park were fantastic and made better by the river access where we cooled off in the hot evenings.

On the downside we were told there was a lightning strike that fried a lot of their WiFi and made it unreliable, we found that to be very true. The first day access was slow, the second day they were transitioning to the new system so WiFi was down, the third day the new system was up but not fully operational. Not the end of the world, but a bummer for sure. Staff did their best to give us different access points to try.

Site is clean, showers are hot, plug ins worked as expected, and front desk service was very good. At one point we needed to repair a hole in our city water hose and they were quick to provide resources and tools. We will be back here for our next Zion trip.

This campground has a great location just one mile from Zion National Park, but sites are very crowded to the point I wasn’t sure if we could slide all 3 of our slides out. We did not have internet the entire trip and did not have cell service the second day. They do advertise as having internet. When I called about it they said I could check out if I was unsatisfied. This park has lots of families with pets and children. On 2 separate occasions we went out of camper to cook and people were in our campsite. Quiet hours are not enforced. Lots of rental campers at this campground.

Rolled into Springdale, UT (Zion National Park) without reservations. Washman Campground, a national park campground was full. Next door we found the Zion Canyon Campground & RV Resort. You check the the Quality Inn front desk. There was one site E15 available for 1 night and E23 available for the next night.

Campground observations:

The sites are tightly packed next to each other.
Many families stay here so the area is loud.
We stayed in site E15 the first night. It is close to the river, nice views of the mountains
The second night we stayed in E23, not a good site, next to garbage and construction next door.
Grounds are well kept, clean.
Bathrooms are very clean.
24 hour laundry is great.
Wood bundles for sale in the office.
Office staff very kind with insightful information about the area.
Approximately 1 mile from the entrance to Zion NP.

What we like the best about this campground is the easy access to Zion NP. We rented mountain bikes and rode to the scenic canyon. Played in the Virgin river and met some very pleasant humans along the way. The town of Springdale is quaint with many options for dinning and gear rentals. Biking, canyoning, hiking and rock climbing opportunities abound.

This is a very-family park. Lot's of kids and dogs. This review was written on a Wednesday just as facilities are opening post covid and kids are still out of school. It's about a mile to the park entrance. Virgin River borders the campground to the east hosting lost of river-tubers. Campground spots are easy in & out but relatively close together. Pad is a mix of dirt and rock. Swimming in either the gentle river or the campground pool. the pool is small but suited the purpose. Good AT&T service. Check in was easy but not much parking up front near office. FYI, the property also includes a small hotel. Walking distance to dining and small grocery.

We made two reservations each for two nights on April 8th and 9th. We are from California and are currently under a Stay In Place Order due to the Corona virus. We contacted the campground immediately and were told they would gladly cancel our reservations but keep the first night which for us $120 because we reserved two spots. Wow, how's that for being insensitive not to mention irresponsible?
