The South Campground is first come first serve, so get there early. Watchman Campground allows reservations, although in the summer the sites are booked well in advance. There are also a couple of campgrounds inside Zion National Park. There are a plethora of lodging options in Springdale, at the heart of Zion, but you may find the accommodation either too expensive or at max capacity. We stayed at the Sands Motel and it was good enough for a place to rest our heads, although don’t get me wrong, we still used our own blankets since we had them with us. Check around for reviews on cleanliness of these hotels. George, off Exit 8 (From the 15 Freeway), where hotels start at $29 per night.

They offer primitive sites for $13 per night or full hook ups with showers for $25 per night. I’m sure they will have space for you.įor a campsite that is not located in the middle of town, you might try Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane, which is about 45 minutes from Zion. On the other hand, if you like sleeping next to a main road in your tent, then feel free to make reservations at Willow Wind Resort in Hurricane. There are many RV parks that offer tent camping, but it may not be what you are expecting if you enjoy the wilderness. One thing to keep in mind when looking for places to stay while visiting Zion National Park when you make a reservation at an RV resort or campground, make sure they give you a campsite number. There are options both inside and outside of the park. I highly recommend camping in Zion National Park if you get the chance. We came here on a whim and walked away with an admiration of the rugged beauty that lies just seven hours from our home.

Hues of pink, red and cream dance along the sandstone walls like oil paints smeared on a piece of canvas. Zion boasts massive canyons that seem to converge with an enormous sky. Zion National Park Travel & Hiking Guide.
