Super cool campsite. Don’t recommend for people who need their comfort stations. No running water. Only 6 sites in total and it’s about 1hr and 20 mins from the south entrance. The drive up is so cool and we got to watch a full on lightning storm from here. Kind of scary since we’re at elevation, but we stayed in our tiny camper van which fit nicely (16ft). I would camp there again.

Small but mighty campground. The sites are large with new bear vaults. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings. The views from the point which is only a five minute walk from the campground are stunning. Reservations are required with NO first come, first serve sites. I asked a very helpful NPS Volunteer Ranger why that was and he explained that due to the distance of the campground from main roads they were required to make it reservation only. People would show up, not be able to find a site (there are only 6 sites) and then be angry. Worth it if you have reservations.

Great place to camp. Got lucky the day we went there was only one spot left. Definitely make sure you check out the overlook if you camp here. Also there's only 6 spots here, first come first serve.

If you are looking for a free campground close to Zion this is your spot! It is first come, first serve. I would come early to make sure there is a spot available!
