South Campground at Zion National Park now accessible by online reservation only

Reservations for campsites at South Campground may be made two weeks prior to your arrival date online at recreation.gov or by calling (877) 444-6777. Reservations are needed as the campground is full every night during the reservation season.
South Campground is located a half mile from Zion National Park’s south entrance. There are 117 campsites, three of which are wheelchair accessible.
There are no hook-ups available at the South Campground. A dump station with potable water is available for campers. Generators are allowed from 8 to 10 a.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m.
Hammocks are allowed in the campground. However, they must be over the footprint of the campsite and only be suspended from trees at least 10 inches in diameter with adequate padding around the tree, and no more than two hammocks are allowed to be suspended from the same tree.
Campsite fees are $20 per night for individual campsites and $50 for group sites. Owners of Interagency Senior/Golden Age or Interagency Access/Access Passes receive a 50 percent discount on individual campsites. There is no discount on group sites, nor is there a discount on camping fees for Interagency Annual Passes.
