A nice and affordable campsite with a great view - CG 114 ($20 & park pass required) is right next to the water station and restrooms. You can hear the lake from this spot - it‘s beautiful. Be aware that there is no shade and half the campground is still closed due to rehabilitation work. Restrooms could be cleaner; the locks in the men‘s restrooms aren‘t closing properly and there is no way to dry off your hands. Rangers are very nice and helpful, just like anyone in / near Springdale. Campfires are allowed!

The south campground is beautifully nestled in busy Zion national park. There are no water or electric hookups. There are flush toilets but they were cleaned once in the 5 nights we stayed. The stalls are very tiny. You have to walk into the stall and stand next to the toilet to be able to close the stall. Some of the stalls don't close. There is no way to dry your hands. The sink faucet was so loose that every time I washed my hands the facet would turn. The staff was very nice and friendly. Half of the campground is closed for 'renovations'. Zion is a night sky park but they leave the check in booth lights on ALL night. Those lights are NOT shrouded and definitely limited the ability to take night sky photos from this campground. Our site was a large corner lot that got some shade, 112. The campground was very clean.

We were here a couple of years ago and enjoyed our stay back then. Since then, some has changed. You have to reserve your spot, and even if spots remain empty or people leave before their reservation ends (in our case, multiple did because of the heat), the camp hosts weren’t really approachable for people still looking for a spot. Next, the restrooms are aged: some of the doors cannot fully open, one house for the whole open part of the campground. Hope the park would be able to invest some time and money to restore this place to what it earns.

The views are 5 stars but the restroom is 2. Friendly staff; quiet campers; great access to the shuttle. The site (122) could definitely use some more shade. In general it looks they’ve had a lot of tree die-off. I don’t know if it’s allowed within their resource management but, it’d be great if they could plant some more native trees (for shade).

Pretty awesome location right in the NP, with some great walks from the campground! Stunning views from certain sites too! Water available and clean facilities Could do with a bit more privacy between sites though

This campground offers beautiful views of the mountains and is right by Zion's visitor centre, very convenient to get the park shuttle for example. If you can get a reservation try to stay in the camping spots by the river (e.g. spots 69 or 78, 79) which offer a direct view of the mountains behind the campsite. There are flush bathrooms (with 3 stalls each) but no showers. There is a water spigot but no place to wash dishes. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Each campsite has a picnic bench and a fire pit. There is not a lot of privacy between the different campsites as you can see your neighbours, but the spots have a convenient distance between them so it's not bad. Very quiet and safe place to stay in Zion!

Very nice location and nice camping. For the price it could have some showers, if you want to shower you’ll have to pay $4 at the nearby outfitters. Deers regularly visited us for breakfast which was a nice extra!

Beautiful! Bathrooms gave running water and hand soap. There are water dispensers everywhere. The view is amazing. Pretty windy so bring stakes for your tents especially in the morning 😊

I bit crowded but is a good deal for a campsite in Zion. You can walk to the shuttle and visitor center and you don't have to worry about fighting the crowds for a parking spot. Also is a short walk to the virgin river and the watchman trail. Best spot to stay in when visiting Zion if you don't mind camping.

Windy at night until morning. At least when we were there September. Great access to everything. Booked two weeks in advance, I gotta say, I feel pretty lucky to have stayed here. Definitely would do it again. I thought being at site 117 would be awkward because of the over flow parking lot. It wasn't that bad. Distanced from all the other campsites nearby. Close to the bathroom and a short hike to the shuttle service. I'm looking forward to the next time out here. From Indiana and it's with the drive out there.
