Camping Near Zions

[tallsteve]

I am looking for group camping just outside of Zions in the Springdale area. Any recommendations would be appreciated. We are taking our scouts the first part of June to hike the Narrows, north to south. We need a campground for two nights. The boys will be tired and dirty so we want a campground with some amenities like bathrooms but showers would be nice, too! All I can find are RV parks. We will using tents, probably 4 or 5. Thanks!

What would you want to camp at a Bank?

There is an "urban campground" in Springdale that is exactly what you're looking for. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it. But it has tent sites and showers and is of course within walking distance of everything in town. You should be able to find it by doing a search for "camping, Springdale UT". I've stayed there twice when the NP campground was booked solid, and you should be able to get adjacent sites to set up multiple tents (that's what we did). If you're driving into town from the park, it's on the right-hand side, maybe ~ 0.5 mile after you reach the town. IIRC, it doesn't have a huge sign.

The showers are pay, and you don't need to stay at the campground to use them. Last time I was at Zion, we stayed in the NP campground and drove into town to use their showers. Another option if you end up staying at a campground that doesn't have its own showers :nod:.

Big QFE. I've done some banking there but I don't understand the customer loyalty to camp, hike, canyoneer, rock climb at the bank. :ne_nau:

If you didn't catch that, it was a reference to Zions being Zions National Bank whereas the Nation Park is simply Zion National Park. I thought that was funny Summit.

I prefer the drive-thru site: tent-free under the exchange drawer!

When we take our scouts down we use one of the group campgrounds at watchman. The campground in town is called quality inn or something? It's a rv park. It is pretty close to the entrance. They have showers. Our leaders usually head over there for a shower. We make the scouts swim in the river by camp. If you have a extra half a day float the river in tubes scouts love it. Zion Adventure will give you a good deal on tubes if it's for scouts. Especially if you can haul your own tubes.

We need some video of someone attempting this and being chased off by the Zions security guards. That would be a hilarious youtube moment.

Warthmen is the ticket. :2thumbs: Smart asses. :lol8:

You mean Zions rangers? Think they'd need rangers over security with all this stuff to do there. :haha:

They even have their own "Narrows" hike. Kind of thought the building was small. Might need to drop in next time instead of just withdrawing money from the ATM to eat at Oscars.

Where is this Warthmen you talk about? :ne_nau:

If in Zion NP, I like the North campground. Not as crowed as the South & Watchman campgrounds. You may need some camo style sleeping gear so you don't get bugged by security.

Yes there really is a North Campground. Read Tom Jone's canyoneering book to find out where and you'll understand the comment about camo sleeping gear.

Now that was being a smart ass :lol8:
