Map
Three campgrounds sit inside the park — Watchman, South, and Lava Point — and all of them reserve through Recreation.gov. Book the moment your window opens in spring and fall: Watchman and South fill within minutes, and there is no walk-up backup once they are full. Lava Point is small, primitive, and up on the high plateau, so it opens later and stays cooler in summer.
Camping
In-park · Frontcountry
Six primitive sites an hour up Kolob Terrace Road, far from the canyon shuttle — for solitude over convenience, and it books only 14 days out.

In-park · Frontcountry
Shaded and central by the south entrance, a short walk to the visitor center — but it opens only a 14-day booking window, so set a reminder.

In-park · Frontcountry
The only Zion campground open year-round and closest to the visitor center, with electric-hookup loops for RVs — reserve up to six months ahead.
