Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Perched high on the Kolob Terrace at 7,890 feet, Lava Point Campground offers a cool, wooded contrast to Zion Canyon's sun-baked sandstone. Pine and aspen shade the small camp loop and help block gusts on windier days, while a short walk from the entrance leads to Lava Point Overlook with wide views southward toward the cliffs of Zion Canyon.








Length limits vary by campsite.

“Lava Point was a very well maintained campground, especially for a primitive campground. The bathrooms and trash were well maintained and it was very peaceful.”
“Clean location, great for stargazing. A little remote. No service at the campground, but did get some reception at the overlook”
“No water and no delineated water supply location was a big negative during our stay. Site access was level and spacious a plus. Overall Not what I expected from a NPS campsite. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,098 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
