Campsites in Kolob Creek (lower)
Anyone know of campsites in Lower Kolob Creek, not far from the Zion Narrows, or maybe halfway between the MIA and Virgin on down?
We did hike that section (MIA to the Virgin) in 1994, but I don't remember any campsites since we didn't camp before reaching the river. From what I do remember, there wasn't much in the way of possible campsites.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

There are a couple of marginal places you could bivy but nothing I would call a campsite. I looked at this option pretty hard last time through with the idea I could skip a Narrows camping permit next time through. My final conclusion was you are best off getting a Narrows campsite permit.
YMMV

Any campsite #3 thru #12 will work. We often get one of the sites above Kolob because they are easier to get for some reason. Only about a 15 minite walk from Kolob to Deep Creek (Camp 3).

I think I'll just try camp 2.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

My guess these are the sites that are open to those walk-ins up to the day before.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth.

Scott, Tom and I camped just after the long skinny waterfall you can see after all the rappelling is done.
From my notes:
"At 4:00 pm after 10
