Camping at South Campground (Ut) near Springdale

Public campground · Springdale · 124 campsites

A forested campground near hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups.

About this campground

The campground's location makes it convenient for both short outings and longer adventures: the visitor center, Springdale's services, and the Zion Canyon Shuttle are a short walk away, and most of the main canyon (and many popular climbing routes) are accessible by shuttle from roughly the end of February through the end of November. Three trails start at or near the campground the Watchman Trail (a moderate climb to a viewpoint), the Archaeology Trail (an easy interpretive walk), and the paved Pa'rus Trail, which follows the river, allows bikes and leashed dogs, and is the park's only dog-approved path.
