Lava Point Campground
Six first-come, first-served park sites 35 miles up Kolob Terrace Rd at 7900ft. Pit toilets, no water.
Zion National Park hotels and hostels
Both of the park's large, established campgrounds are near the Zion Canyon Visitor Center. For wilderness camping at designated areas along the West Rim, La Verkin Creek, Hop Valley and the Narrows you'll need a permit. More lodging and camping is available in Springdale.
Nps Campgrounds
Near the visitor center are two campgrounds: Watchman Campground; and first-come, first-served South Campground. Both have potable water, toilets (no showers) and sites with picnic tables and outdoor grills.
South Campground
The South Campground has very similar scenery and the same basic facilities as Watchman, except that here limited generator use is allowed because there are no hookups. The 116 first-come, first-served tent sites often fill up by 10am.
Watchman Campground
Towering cottonwoods provide fairly good shade for the 165 well-spaced sites at Watchman (95 have electricity). Reservations are available May through October; book as far in advance as possible to request a riverside site.
Zion Lodge
Stunning red-rock cliffs surround you on all sides, and that coveted location in the middle of Zion Canyon (and the red permit that allows you to drive to the lodge in shuttle season) is what you're paying for.
