East Zion Riverside RV Park

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.

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 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.

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
