Lava Point Campground

98%

6 sites · RV, Tent

Not only can you camp at Zion's highest point, but you can also camp there for F-R-E-E! These first-come, first-served sites offer access to the lesser traveled part of Zion Canyon, Kolob Terrace, and Lava Point.

It's also an excellent jumping off point for one of Zion's best hikes: “The Subway." Lava Point Campground is just off of Kolob Terrace Road. It offers pit toilets and trash cans, but is primitive so bring your own water. With golden valley views, and aspens galore, you aren’t going to believe you didn’t pay a dime for this winning spot.

Ethel's Hideout

40mi from Lava Point Campground · 11 sites · Tents, RVs

Our story begins with a little old lady, our grandma, who believed with all her heart that we were worth it. She passed a few years ago, and what better way to honor her belief in us than to create Ethel's Hideout. We came from a small ranching family, which has brought us closer than we ever imagined. Hard work and dedication were imprinted on us from a young age. On this land we have built an RV pull-through, camp sites, and horse stalls. One day we hope to have some small cabins to share with you all. Ethel's is your home away from home. We border agriculture and sate and public lands which provides an authentic western experience. Though tucked away to give the illusion of seclusion, we are located only 7 miles from downtown Kanab Utah. Kanab features many fun and exciting events throughout the year. Located right in the heart of several national parks, Zions, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell and many more fun things to tour. Hook ups include power and water. Our most unique feature is horse stalls on site. Bring your horses with you and reserve stalls for them as well. Our convenient location offers direct access to ride on public lands. Traveling with horses? We have just the spot with (8) 12′ x 14′ covered stall. Contact us to book stalls for your horses to stay over night with you.

Three Days in Zion—Not Nearly Enough

Tent

Zion National Park blew me away with its dramatic red cliffs, winding canyons, and stunning views around every corner. I spent three days exploring, but it felt like I barely scratched the surface. The hikes, especially Angels Landing and The Narrows, were unforgettable. I’m already dreaming of coming back to see even more.

Great campground with only 6 sites. They are spaced out well, no power or water. There is a pit toilet, and each site has a bear proof yeah can. Go to the overlook... It's an amazing view! About 20 degrees cooler than the lower campgrounds in the summer!

October 2015

A great little spot! A bit out of the way however you can still expect to find others there as well. I camped out of the peak season and was still a little shocked to find a few others there. It definitely dipped below freezing during my stay but nothing a good sleeping back couldn't handle! You definitely wont be disappointed with the scenery, and Kolob Reservoir is nearby as well!
