Where to camp at Zion National park

I agree with Trailer Village, but the closeness is well made up for by the convenience.

For no thrills inside the park, check out South Campground. Spaced out a little more than Watchman but no hookups. Still an easy walk to the shuttle. Wouldn't count on walking into the canyon beyond the trail at the upper end. Odd are the water will still be too high.

If you have bikes, put them on the shuttle to the end of the loop and then coast back to the camper. Except for one short uphill and the flat from the main road to the campground, it's all down hill. Grade is perfect to hold you to about 20mph max. If you keep coasting that is as it is a great way to make a lot of stops where the buses don't.

Watchman Campground is located near the entrance. Some sites have partial hook ups.
Shuttle picks you up near the campground at the visitors center.

I stayed at the Zion Canyon Campground near the west entrance to the park. It was walking distance to the gate where you could pick up the tour bus. The location was great and the park met our needs.
