Full hookups plus hot tub access. We are the only ones here in the late fall, lots of leaves and some grass buried under them. Owned by the best western across the street, staff there is very nice. Good location between Bryce and Zion. Most campgrounds in the area have shut down for the winter so we’re happy to be here. Some trash around the campground, maintenance seems minimal

Nice spot very close to the eastern Zion entrance. Good phone service plus WiFi. Lots of shade at the site. There is some road noise

This is run by the Best Western East Zion Thunderbird lodge. You check in there for the campground. The campground is located across the street from the Hotel.

We were able to get a spot without a reservation.

The website price is wrong. The person running the front desk at the hotel said they can’t change the price because somebody else owns the website.

The spots are narrow, but wide enough to open all the slides I have kitchen slide on drive side & sofa/dinette slide on the pass side. There are trees on the boarder of each site.

Full hook ups. Shaded site. Very nice location. If you want to be away from the high prices closer to Zion, this is a nice quiet place to be. Your only 15 min from the East Zion entrance.

These spots are right along the street, across from the hotel/restaurant who runs them. Even though you are along the street, road noise really isn’t bad at night. There’s a small creek behind the sites and the hotel owns the land behind that, so you can cross on some rocks and hike up the hill behind the RV sites. You’re also directly across from two gas stations. WiFi is strong.

Access to Zion is easy and convenient through the East entrance. Just know that you have to use their tunnel to get to the visitor’s center from there. That’s an extra $15 if you drive a dually or class C so that they can shut down the tunnel for you.

Downsides are that there are no shower facilities or fire pits (even a communal fire pit would be nice). If you’re here on a Sunday, you’re also VERY limited on restaurants nearby, as almost everything within 20 miles is closed. We ate at the Thunderbird a couple of times for that reason and really enjoyed it.

Overall a nice place to stay if you’re visiting Zion.

This park may be close to the road, but it was like a little oasis for the rigs lined up along the creek in the shade, as compared to other campgrounds in the area with little shade. It was a convenient location for exploring. We would use it again. Be aware that your confirmation will come from Best Western East Zion Thunderbird Lodge as an RV reservation. I found that confusing and had trouble confirming my reservation with Best Western.

This was a nice find for us. The location is great for a visit to Zion and Bryce.
I read other reviews so it was easy to find the check in across the street.
The sites are roomy and it is mostly quiet, despite road noise.
They offer access to laundry and the pool at the BestWestern.
Great spot with WI-FI.

Can’t get through the automated system to make a reservation. Also when you call it says it’s the Best Western. Press 1 for front desk. Press 2 for RVs press 3 for rooms. You can press any number you want, it just says “goodbye” and hangs up. So we drove to kanab instead and found a different park there.

We stayed here for 2 nights so we could spend one day in Zion National Park. The advantages of this place is the location at the junction of 89 and the road into the park and also the great WIFI and full 50 amp full hookup. This place is just a gravel lot along the road and there is quite a bit of road noise and not a lot of shade.

Overall, this is a comfortable place to stay. As mentioned before, it is located close to Zions at the Mount Carmel junction and not too far away from Kanab and Bryce Canyon.
All the hookups worked great and are conveniently located.
It is important to note as others have done that you have access to the hot tub and laundry which are located at the Hotel across the road.
They only ask for a $5.00 refundable deposit to use the hot tub.
We were assigned #11 space . It is nice for privacy because there is an empty cinder block building we were facing. The only thing is that the view is not photo worthy.
Also , In fairness, we are here in April and the cottonwood trees have not leafed out yet. Later on, the foliage will add to the overall eye appeal.
