Zion River Resort

I was expecting a top rated 10 resort and found a resort in need of landscaping maintenance. Staff told us that our site had lush green grass that was watered on a daily basis and we could not put a welcome mat in front of our motorhome steps because we would kill the grass. The 3 sites we reserved for a family get together were full of weeds, dirt and foxtails and had not been watered in weeks. Staff treated us like fools. Site 20 has an extremely dangerous concrete border that is being uplifted by the tree in site. Our 7 year granddaughter tripped over this dangerous situation. Overall, Zion River Resort has much potential, but, in our opinion, is being mismanaged.

Very happy with my stay here. I booked it online a couple hours before I arrived. I got one of the last few spots available. My spot was level and paved. I took a shower which had a 5 minute intermission between each 7 minute weak spraying of water. Very nice check in progress. Campground appeared relatively new. Not sure what makes it a “Resort” other than the pool and the laundry. They did have a dozen cable stations and very good wireless internet service. Great place to start my day at Zion from.

We stayed 7 nights in a Premium Back-in Riverside FHU corner site - booked a year ahead with requested site not guaranteed. Easy access to the resort. Our site was gravel, but most are paved with paved roads throughout. Excellent facilities - laundry $2 wash/$2 dry with coin machine; hot tub and pool, convenience store, several dog runs, playground. We used a hotspot instead of camp wifi. 15 minutes to Zion. 15 minutes to Hurricane for groceries, gas and RV friendly car wash (Red Dirt). The resort is very well managed and maintained. Our friends stayed in Zion Canyon RV Springdale, closer to Zion but not as nice. A++ on location and facilities.

We had no issues during our stay. It’s a nice spot!

Pros:
- Friendly staff
- Well maintained and you can tell they pay attention to details!
- dog park
- small playground
- pool/ hot tub. Only the hot is open in colder months, but it’s great!
- quiet
- safe
- nice gift shop
- laundry
- FHU
- picnic table and fire pit
- beautiful location
- close to Zion and close to gas/groceries
- excellent communication from the office about anything we might need to know.

Cons:
- It is a little tight but not bad if you have a big rig 40+ feet but we managed in our 43 foot 5th wheel.

Stayed in end of Jan 2023
Site type: Pull through, FHU 50 AMP. Site 46

THE GOOD
Site: Clean pavement/cement site with grass living space, picnic table and fire pit.
Staff: Nice folks and helpful.
Location: 15 min to Zion NP. About an hour to Snow Canyon State Park. 5-10 min to gas. 15 min to groceries and restaurants.
Grounds: Clean and quiet. Well-maintained.
Cell: Verizon and AT&T worked well.
Wifi: Campground offers VERY GOOD streamable WiFi.
Facilities: Really nice full tiled bathrooms/shower. Laundry is good as well.

THE BAD:
Maybe the road noise might bother some folks but it really isn't terrible.

WORTH NOTING (not good or bad):
Showers: There is a 7 min timer for showers with a 5 min waiting period between showers. It is via a wall timer that operates the shower.

We arrived after dark and easily found our spot, it was level with plenty of room. The park is super clean and well kept. Always staff around tidying. We chose a back-in river spot and it was so peaceful. The laundry room was great. They do have showers, but they are timed, go for 7 minutes and you have to wait 5 minutes before turning them on again. We were super close to the park and town, easy enough to get groceries abs fuel. Our Starlink had some trouble with the mountains, but cell service was available. We would definitely stay here again!
