It takes approximately one hour and 20 minutes to drive to the campground from the South Entrance of Zion Canyon. There are 6 primitive campsites available first come, first serve. The campground has pit toilets and trash cans, but no water. Vehicles longer than 19 feet are not permitted.

The camp host here was a highlight- we hope your season wrapped up well as a volunteer Guy. Nice meeting you on our way through.
Nice place to Camp pretty awesome so quite in the the first Day we Arrived it rain so hard and suddenly it's was only hail no rain but after the rain the smell of trees was nice going again next week
Nearby lava point viewpoint was incredible. Good vista of sunrise and sunset. Our campsite (4) was large, flat, somewhat shaded, and not rocky. Possible to hang a hammock. Campsite host, Guy, was friendly and knowledgeable.
We loved our stay here. Its super quiet, light pollution is practically non existent, and it has beautiful trails very close to the site itself. We saw plenty of deer here as well as owls. The overlook nearby via the campground trail is beautiful! The bathrooms are pit bathrooms so be ready for the smell. But I will say Guy the volunteer is the MAN. He was kind, made conversation, gave tips of the lay of the land and nearby. He gave us snacks and was also very respectful of your time and space. As for the 19 foot limit: There is a SHARP hairpin turn on the way up there that if you had a longer vehicle you would go in the other lane. So COULD you? Sure. I saw an RV up there. But I would save the headache. We'll be back
Incredible spot! Lava point really has an incredible view!!! The bathrooms were clean, campsites were simple and nice.
