We stayed in the walk-in sites. Campground was clean, had a nice pergola for shade and space for two small tents. No fire pit, but no fires were allowed. Apparently the campers in the site next to us decided to have a fire anyway.

Our campsite didnt have a fire-pit, even though most other campsites did. Not sure what the reasoning for this was, we stayed in site F-17.

We stayed 4 nights in this campground.Great view, location, and bathroom was clean. Our closest bathroom was closed, so we had to walk pretty far away. Also this campground is located next to busy parking lot. Car alarm is always going on. Other than that, we loved it especially deers are around us and say hi to us.

Best campground in Zion, beautiful surrounding nature, all faciliries only a short walking distance away.
No Service

Walk up site was a little inconvenient for how much we packed, but that was on us for not reading the site description more thoroughly. Beautiful site, clean bathrooms, lots of wildlife. Definitely would go back, though we'd pack lighter!

Excellent place to view Zion. A clean and convenient place to camp.

Fantastic Campground! Everything is well labelled and marked. You can find your way easy. This places always busy, andI highly recommend reserving the camp just to give yourself parking.

Well set up, clean flush toilets. Lots of bugs :).

Walk-in tent sites are fantastic! We had F17 and loved it. I was a bit bummed not to have a fire ring when I booked but there are communal ones which are great. The sites are well maintained and within a short walk to the shuttle, the bridge to town and the visitor center. Highly recommend!

I love, love camping there. Park rangers are very helpful and everything is clean. My campsite in loop F was a walking-one, so carrying everything 30-40 feet from your car to the site it's a workout by itself. We got our bikes and it was nice to have bike trails. The worse part was the wind (beginning of April), my tent was making so much noise with the wind it woke me up. I don't know if the South camp would have been any different in regards to the wind. I would camp again but maybe in a different loop.

nice private walk in site, close to Visitor Center shuttle buses and walk to vendors just outside NP
Excellent
@AndrewH674 · Camped on Oct 1, 2021 at Campsite #F17
The campground was clean and beautiful setting. It was conveniently located next to the south entrance. Campsites in F did not have there own fire pit which was a slight bummer.
Only thing that took away from experience was youth group that had most of F. On first night one of the kids is the neighboring campsite was chanting very loudly and it was loud and disruptive and honestly a bit unnerving.

Helpful staff, good facilities. Our spot felt nicely tucked away, and was clean and cozy. Considering the area is mostly scrub brush, it was surprisingly private. Made for great access to the park, Pa'Rus and Watchman trails.

Walk-in sites are very nice, but hard. Impossible to pound in tent stakes. It would be nice to warn tent campers about the incredible winds during the night and morning. If you've never been to Zion, you wouldn't know to put rocks inside your tent to hold it down.

Convenient campground located walking distance from the visitor's center. I stayed in loop F - these sites require a short walk from the parking lot versus parking a car right next to ones site. All the walks are really short and I didn't find this to be of any inconvenience. There is a shared fire pit for all the sites though some do have their own private ones. Beautiful scenery in Zion - would certainly stay here again.
Excellent

Fantastic site-not a bad spot in the campground. Could be improved by consistent enforcement of campground policies intended to protect resources and quiet hours.
@BrittanyD74953 · Camped on Oct 14, 2020 at Campsite #F17
Very well maintained campsite. Extremely convenient location to all facilities, and shuttle stop.
@JeffC9633298 · Camped on Oct 27, 2019 at Campsite #F17
Outstanding spot for those willing to go without the amenities of a hotel.
@MicheleW986936 · Camped on Oct 9, 2019 at Campsite #F17
We love the fact that the campground is super close to the buses. The bathrooms are very clean. Our only regret this time was that we didn't have a firepit at our site. It wasn't that big of a deal, it was just a different experience.
@ValentinA38AC0 · Camped on Sep 19, 2019 at Campsite #F17
Despite being surrounded by hills it can be quite windy. Amenities, shuttle bus station within walking distance.
@BenC2118977 · Camped on Jul 10, 2019 at Campsite #F17
The campsites were in good shape with great access to the National Park shuttles. The rangers and camp hosts were very helpful and very pleasant to work with. I would camp here again for sure.
