Camping at Lava Point Campground near Springdale

Public campground · Springdale · 6 campsites

A forested campground near hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

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.

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (46 reviews, ★ 5.0). Not written or edited by us.

“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.”

Sabrina J 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Clean location, great for stargazing. A little remote. No service at the campground, but did get some reception at the overlook”

Henry L 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“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. ”

How far ahead to book Lava Point Campground

For June weekends, book about 14 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 14 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
June14 days ahead14 days ahead12 days ahead14 days ahead
July14 days ahead14 days ahead13 days ahead14 days ahead
August14 days ahead14 days ahead12 days ahead14 days ahead
September14 days ahead14 days ahead14 days ahead14 days ahead

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.
