Zion NP South Campground

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

This campsite is at the heart of the action and just a few hundred yards from the visitor centre and free shuttle (the only way to get around Zion). The campground has great views of the surrounding red rock and the sites are well placed for some privacy. Facilities are fine but could do with some TLC, and the toilets were in a bit of a mess on one of the days - just a bit rougher than the other campgrounds we stayed at. ||If you want to hike the Narrows, be sure to get the first bus at 6am - you’ll get some solitude on the hike out. Start after 8am and you’ll be surrounded!

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).

The location is the most appealing part of this campground. Otherwise, it’s very ordinary. However, since it’s set right in Zion, and within walking distance of the shuttles, there is a lot to like about this location. There are views everywhere. Every site also has a bonfire pit. Just be sure to book in advance and I think the fee is $20 plus park entrance. The bathrooms need some updating but that’s just a minor quip.
