Arizona/Utah

There is a nice USFS CG located at the junction of 89A and 67. The Jacob Lake CG makes a good spot from which to day trip down to the north rim, 47 miles on 67. You can drive to Zion from Jacob Lake in just a couple of hours. Bryce is a couple of hours northeast of Zion.

Your best bet by far for Zion is to go on line and make a reservation for the Watchman CG which is actually inside the park. For just $18 a day ($9 with our Geezer pass), you get nice sites adjacent (and some right on), the Virgin River and they come with 30 amp electrical service. the restrooms have flush toilets and there is a good two lane dump station. Best of all you are just a short walk from the visitors center and the free trams run throughout the park from there every few minutes.

We are leaving tomorrow morning for Zion, have reservations for the entire Thanksgiving week but will of course make the obligatory stop in Vegas on the way up. :B

X2 for Zion River Resort in Virgin, Ut. There is a lot to see in Utah and it will take at least a month. Don't forget Arches NP. The North Rim of Grand Canyon is very nice. You can do a day trip from Virgin, Ut.

There are two campgrounds in the park at the south rim. Trailer Village, with full hook ups.
Mather, which has no hook ups. Both will require reservations.
Camper village is in Tusayan, 6 miles south of the park entrance, full hook ups.
Reservations recommened.
There are five rv parks in and around Williams with full hook ups, about 60 miles south of the park entrance.
There is a campground just north of Tusayan called Ten-X. It is dry camping.

We like Zion River, www.zionriverresort.com/, and we also like Grand Canyon Railway RV Park in Williams, www.thetrain.com/lodging/rv-park/.

The wife and I went to Grand Cayon many years ago, back when you drive and park inside the patk at the south side, now things have changed. I think you have to park in an outside area parking area and ride a bus in to the park. Might be wrong. A few weeks ago I was out in Pahrump, NV. visiting my brother and his family. We took a day drive up to Zion Nat Park. I was very impressed, alot more then the Grand Canyon. Both are a most see.
