Hi-Road Zion RV Campground

The campground is one mile east of the East entrance of Zion NP; conveniently close for park visitors. Campground registration is located across the street at the gift shop. The campground has both back in and pull through RV sites with full water/electricity/septic hook ups. Campsite also has tent camping and "primitive" 4x4 access camp sites.
Site 50 is located next to the communal water spigot and laundry/shower building so there was moderate occasional noise from car doors and people, but generally quite. However, we got a last minute site so we didn't complain. Site was a level gravel pad, requiring few leveling blocks. Water was yellowish and smelled odd, so suitable for showers, toilets, and washing dishes. Campground did not have cell service for both AT&T and Verizon; gift shop is the only spot with Wi-Fi.

Overall, I would recommend staying here, especially when visiting Zion NP.

***IMPORTANT*** If coming through the national park, be aware of the park's regulations on rig measurements for switchbacks and tunnel passage. Any vehicle that is 7 feet 10 inches (2.4 meters) in width and/or 11 feet 4 inches (3.4 meters) in height or larger is required to have a tunnel permit ($15.00, in addition to the park entrance fee, for the tunnel permit at the entrance station before proceeding to the tunnel). Single vehicles over 40 feet long, combined vehicles over 50 feet long.
The ranger at the South entrance "eye-balled" the length of our rig and denied us entrance, thus we had to go around. What should of taken us a max of 15 miles and 30 minute drive through the park to this campsite turned into 2+ hours and 90+ miles.

We were too late for many of the first come, first serve locations, and had an RV and Teardrop trailer set up to fit somewhere. Hi-Road accommodated us into a single pull through site with a smile. Made our day! Excellent store, food, wifi, laundry, and showers. Large enough laundry facility with couches that many people hung out there. Place was quiet even though on the road...since it's so close to the NP as it got late there was limited passing traffic. Would stay again!

Stayed here on a whim on our way from Colorado to California for work. Site easily accommodated our 38' class A. Good wifi. Nice front desk folks. Plenty of space to walk our dog and let the cat.out on his leash, too. Our only frustration was finding out they only have 30 amp service. I had asked twice on the phone and must have heard the desk person incorrectly twice. Ended up having to drive back to town to grab an adapter at 9pm at night. Otherwise, this campground was clean, quiet, and very close to the east entrance of Zion. Location, location, location is what you're paying for. We'd stay here again.

Listen, this park have everything you are looking for.
Quite sites, water, electrical and dump.
There are hot showers, laundry and even a WiFi powerful enough for you to upload some pictures into Facebook.
The park is relatively close to Zion on the eastern side of the Tunnel.

If you don’t have a tow car it will be very difficult for you to go back and forth from Zion, but if you do this is the park for you.

There is a hiking trail on the back side of the campground but it is use mostly by 4x4 vehicles to overland.

Overpriced and not good

It is close to the south entrance of zion. That’s the only good thing about this camping. You pay like 50 dollar for a normal campingspot with not a lot of privacy. We pay 10 dollar more for sitting close by toilets/showers & wifi but the wifi is more down then that it is working. It worked maybe 1 hour in total of 2 days. You have 3 showers for woman in total for 70 campingspots and still then was one of the three out of working so you have to go in line. The trashcan was full all the time, they don’t have firerings, they should have that because sometimes the firedanger is high. I think this camping is maybe 20 dollar worth, that’s it.

The sites are narrow and all fine sand. No cell service. WiFi in laundry room only and many people hang out in there for hours using it bogging it down. People even take long naps in laundry room. Power issues with dropping current causing surge protector to cut it off. No one around to address issues. Location is great to enter East side of Zion but would only want to stay 1-2 days max. Disappointed for the price and comfort.

I would not stay here ever again. I did not feel safe. This campground is right off Highway 89. There is NO security. Trespassers come and go at all hours of the night&day. Our site was directly in view of laundry room/bath house. There are no showers for campers @ Zion. I’m sure the word is out to drive in here and rob power & water, dump trash, internet, etc. There are various abandoned construction projects. One of the three showers in ladies room still out of order. Plumbing is in bad shape. There are no mats in showers or to step out of shower.

If the owners would obtain a key pad access or magnetic card access they could provide a better, safer environment and improve their bottom line and finish fixing it up. The big positive is being right outside Zion NP.

We’ve camped a lot across the nation, primarily out west, and this spot was probably the worst or I should say our least favorite spot we’ve stayed at.

Being tent only on this trip, we decided to stay at one of the private campsites on the 4X4 loop. The physical site was just ok, the road was rough, but that’s understandable as it was labeled as a 4 wheel drive only.

The campsite was a bit overgrown and tucked back in some brush, there was a bit of trash left from previous campers like eggshells and wrappers. Just an overall feeling of poor maintenance.

Once when we came back from battling the throngs of people in Zion, we pulled in our site to see an unwelcome and unknown person at our site. He was shady and unkept looking and largely ignored us and just kept wandering in and out of the brush by our spot (obviously collecting firewood by breaking large limbs of the nearby trees despite the signs saying not to) it was a bizarre and unnerving experience.

That night the campers down the way were inebriated and loud, this was at least two or three spots down, but they were SO loud, blaring music, screaming.... not a fan.

The last odd thing to top all this off was when we were pulling stakes ready to leave, a chicken, yes a real live chicken wondered into our tent. We had a good laugh and it eventually shuffled on into the brush. Maybe it was looking for that dude?

Overall, I’d only camp here again if I had no other options. But I don’t plan on ever stopping here again.

We were at the East entrance of Zion National Park quite late so when we saw that the campings were full we were quick to turn around and go back to Hi-Road campground which is located right outside the entrance. For a small camperspot without hookups 40 dollars was quite steep but it included hot showers, well maintained restrooms and wifi so we gladly paid the price. The closeness to the entrance ensured us to be on the way to the actual park swiftly.

A little rough, but that’s the point. There is WiFi but you have to go to the bathhouse to use it. I was here in October so it was pretty dead. Saw other reviews complaining about strangers. I didn’t experience this. But then again it was cold. Awesome how close it is to beautiful Zion. Friendly helpful staff. Cool general store. Bring your food, and beer before you arrive. The closest store is 11 miles and it’s a convenient store.
