Zion River Resort RV Park & Campground

First of all, you CAN find RV Parks in Springdale that are closer to the main south entrance to Zion (which is THE Main Entrance). But we had a toad (our little Honda Fit) and we preferred just driving the 16 miles or so from Virgin to the park and being able to camp in one of the nicest parks you'll find. We had read that Zion River Resort was a great place to stay. And it truly is. I have only one significant complaint. But first, the good: 1) The lots are huge. Very wide and with lovely grass and gravel. Everyone gets a grassy area. The concrete pad is very level. 2) The hookups are great. I get so frustrated when parks put the water hookup really low to the ground and you can barely get your hose hooked up. No such issue here. Electric is great, as was sewer. Just want you want. 3) The clubhouse / gift shop is nice. Basic stuff, but also some nice gift items. And beer! (In Utah!!) Everyone was friendly. 4) When you first pull in there are several clearly marked, LARGE lots for "check in". Although with COVID, there was no check in process, we used this spot to unhitch our toad so that we could get to our spot more easily. 5) Being near the Virgin River is great. What a peaceful place to visit. And the one downside. There is virtually no cell signal in Virgin. Certainly not enough to even begin to create a hot spot. There is wifi (and we even had a booster on our site)...but there was still terribly connectivity. We could , in the early morning, check our email and such. In the evening, forget it. No streaming, no surfing. Being out of touch with the world is fine, but it's still nice to be able to do some last minute park research, touch base with the kids and post some photos on Facebook. Most of that was impossible during the 3 nights we spent here. We've stayed at many humbler parks and had no issue with connecting and streaming. Not sure what Zion River Resort could do to improve things, but they should do it. Probably need more than one source of wifi. HOWEVER, this was a friendly, peaceful, lovely place. We'd stay again without hesitation.

Zion RV Resort was clean, organized, & had friendly staff. We spent most of our day on the river which had good access, a sandy beach area, and we all felt safe. We had family of 4 kids: 14,11,7,3. When we were done with river we jumped in their heated pool and their hot tub. Wifi was excellent. Cable was good. All water, sewer, power connections were good. NO issues whatsoever. Showers & restrooms were very clean. BUT, I gotta say having a 5 minute delay between showers is ridiculous. I shower w/ my little ones which means we take longer than individuals. And because of that delay, we ended up with freezing with soap still on us waiting for 5 minutes until the next cycle can turn on.

Very overrated!! Backing up to a river doesn't happen. You back up to a rock and dirt wall. Back-in spaces are smaller than pull-thru even though they look the same on the map. Breakers kept going off whenever it got hot, so a whole section was without power periodically. People were nice and did their best to help. You feel crowded, so if that is good for you, you will like it here. Park is well maintained. Would not stay there again. Internet is average.

Stayed in a pull thru site for 3 nights. Could not use the restrooms due to the corona virus but the site was great. Close to Zion NP and the Virgin River is right next to the campground. Staff was very friendly. The pull thru sites are concrete pads with grass on the camping side and gravel around the fire pit. We will be going back after they open Zion.

This is a beautiful park. Owners/operators keep it so clean and tidy. Cement pads for RVs and trailers with gravel and grass areas at each site. They come out to each site between camp guests and brush the gravel, clean the aluminum picnic tables, and put everything back in it's proper place before the next guests arrive. So attentive! Staff is friendly and courteous. We will definitely recommend this park to friends and stay there again if we are back in the area.

Extremely friendly staff. Campground is well maintained, clean and quite. You are about 20 minutes from the park entrance which is very convenient if you have a tow car. Easy to access, lots of room for big rigs.

We really enjoyed our stay at this facility. Our site backed up to the river, and the sound of the river at night was so relaxing. We had the best sleep in a long time.

Sites a little snug. Individual restrooms were good. Park store was great. WiFi was weak. River access not available - you can see river, but can't access.
