The campsite was spacious, clean, and level. Restrooms are clean, well-stocked, and rarely a wait for space. I visited when it was quite cold at night - 27 first night (with rain) and 29 second night. I was fine in my SUV, but direct sunlight did not reach campsites until after 9 am (early April), so be prepared for seasonally colder mornings and evenings due to high canyon rock formations. Shuttle service from the Visitor Center was frequent and prompt but extremely crowded, beyond standing room, with riders literally squished into each other. I have a large power bank, but for those needing to charge phones, medical devices, satellite communication devices, etc., there are NO outlets anywhere - not in the restrooms or Visitor Center. I brought all my own food and drink, but market prices are in line with other national parks, that is, VERY high. There is free shuttle service through Springdale - lots to see and plenty of interesting vendors.

Next door neighbors were incredibly rowdy. I had to park and sleep in a parking lot my first night and was moved by a nice staff member to an emergency lot but never got to have a fire or make a camp.

The site fulfilled the basic camping necessities: a spacious driveway for our car, a picnic table, fire pit, a bit of shade, and a view of the Watchman glowing in the sunset. It's close to the bathroom and dumpster, yet far enough to avoid foot traffic noise. In ten minutes, one can stroll to the shuttle station to be well on their way on the scenic drive through Zion Canyon. Finally, if supplies need replenishing, one can find a general and grocery store with atrociously inflated prices roughly a 10 minute drive away; one must exit the park.

Zion National Park is such a gem! Even with several closed trails there was plenty to do for 4 days of camping. Every trail is recommended except Angel's Landing, that is too dangerous for most people

Campground was clean and well layed out. There were people beside us but there plenty of space. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked.

C loop site 17 was wonderful but was only shaded for half the day. Bring an EZ up if you're coming in the summer to help yourself keep cool.

The campground was clean and relatively quiet. There were a few people playing music, but that stopped when it got dark. I found out the hard way that the deer will eat your hamburger buns if you leave them out. Also I would recommend bringing an easy up shade if you visit in the summer.
