South Campground

South Campground closed for rehabilitation work

Limited campsites are available in South Campground beginning June 1. This is so the National Park Service can begin work on its full rehabilitation.

This work involves:

• Improving drains that run through South Campground and that move rainwater from Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway.
  • Water naturally drains to the Virgin River, and we are building new channels to reduce its' effects on future campers.
• Assessing and removing non-native or potentially hazardous trees throughout the campground.

Check availability in Watchman Campground if space is not available.

 

Toxic Cyanobacteria Bloom

CAUTION: Many campsites in both South and Watchman Campgrounds are located near the North Fork of the Virgin River. Please be aware of the recent toxic cyanobacteria bloom in the river. 

 

Remember, everyone who visits Zion is required to pay the park entrance fee or have a valid interagency pass. Learn more about paying the park entrance fee as well as about how the National Park Service uses fees to improve your expreience.
