We had a great stay. Nice campsite conveniently located in Zion National Park, and great having a flush toilet and faucets.

Its a rural spot. Found small rocks that needed to be moved for a nicer sleeping spot. Parking spot was reserved for you!

This is a great campground! It's quiet and it's very close to the shuttle system. I think the best campsites are near the visitor center. You might get a little noise from the busses, but you will definitely cut down on the amount of walking to the visitor center.

Our stay was great. The staff was amazing and very helpful on any and all questions we had! I will be back!

Three stars means “good” so this isn’t a knock on the campground. The experience just happened to fall on a hot day ?? and there was not really much relief from the heat. But still really beautiful to have the Zion backdrop. Also great to have clean toilets and water.

126 is the best of the walk-to campsites, and the walk-to campsites are the best of all of them if you're able to carry your gear a couple hundred feet to your site and sleep away from your car. From our site 126, we watched people walk through campsite 125 frequently, even with someone's tent in the site (which is incredibly rude) to get to the parking area or restroom. Sites 127 and 128 are further from the parking area and very close to the SUPER busy Pa'rus trail. None of the sites have shade, but the views are awesome from the sites and you're away from all the car campers and RV's (with generators).
The wind picked up every night, the first night the wind blew south to north through the canyon and our tent was situated in the site so that the dirt from the site blew across, under the rain fly and through the mesh into the tent. Second night we moved our tent to the south side of the site near the grass, but the wind blew north to south - didn't get as much dirt in the tent that night because we tucked the vestibule of the rainfly under the tent. The wind woke us up a lot though and night 3 we slept in the car in the parking lot and slept through the night.
We had friends visiting bringing 2 extra cars the next day and the Ranger at the booth on our arrival day was not helpful or seemed to know what she was talking about. The camp host who was in the booth the day after was more helpful. For the walk in sites there is only room for ONE standard sized vehicle at the walk-in parking area even though you're allowed 2 vehicles; your second vehicle can park in the "overflow" area which is not too far away.
Bathrooms were clean, not very many people actually wore masks into the facility.
The potable water tastes great, be careful when touching the handle because rude people wash their dishes and pots there (sign specifically states this is not allowed) and touch the handle with their disgusting grease covered hands.
