Location was amazing and the views were so incredible!! we were lucky enough to have the entire site all to ourselves and could explore around in the morning after spending the night. The spots seemed pretty close to each other and curious what the experience would be like during peak times but we had a blast during the off season!

We LOVED the drive up to the reservoir and the sunset was absolutely amazing. It’s a no frills campground, but gives you good access to some lesser known trail heads.
The bathrooms were not great :(

We loved the secluded set up of each camp site. The solar lights & walking paths were such a nice touch. Honestly this site was the best tent site I’ve been to. Will absolutely camp here again next Zion visit. It is about a 50 minute drive to the park which we really enjoyed not being in close camping quarters with others. The scenery is beautiful with other hiking trails within a 5 minute walk from the camp site. I can’t recommend this place enough for people looking for quiet tent camping with beautiful views.

Kolob is always beautiful! It was also my friends’ first time visiting, and they absolutely loved it. A few things though ; we weren’t informed ahead of time that the General Store was closed, so we had to drive back to town (about 45 minutes each way) to grab some last-minute essentials. Unfortunately, we had to go home a day early because there was construction right in front of our campsite, which really ruined the whole camping experience.
On the bright side, I have AT&T and surprisingly had signal, so I was able to call and update my family.

The campsite was great! The instructions to get there were great, and the campsite was clean and well taken care of. Watch out for tree stumps if you’re sleeping in a tent for site 17, but other than that it was great!

Kolob was a wonderful getaway for my birthday! Was trying to find a campsite close to Zion (that wasnt already booked out) and Kolob had a lot of availability! It was everything I was looking for in the sense of no light polution and getting off the grid, while also maintaining a great level of accomodation and safety! The stars were absolutely stunning! The campground was large and not as much rocks/uneven grounding for the tent. Only downside was the paddleboard/kayak rental was off season, and it would have been so fun but that just means we have to go back in the Summer!

The location of this campground (especially in fall when we went) is beautiful. The sites have a nice amount of privacy between them and are very comfortable. John came around to say hi and check in when we first arrived and was fabulous. Highly recommend staying here - it was our favorite of three campgrounds during our trip!

We had a great time camping here! We had 4 people and 2 dogs (split between two tents), and site 1 was plenty spacious for our group. We were the only campers that weekend, so the whole area was quiet and relaxing.
There is one portable toilet on site (which I could see being less than ideal if the campground is full), and a wagon to help haul your gear to your site. Our site had a picnic table, bench, trash can, and fire pit, and solar powered lights along the paths which was helpful at night.
The dirt road to the campsite is rocky in a few sections but still very doable for smaller cars. Town is only about 10 minutes away, which was nice to pick up extra supplies as needed.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend this campsite!

Beautiful campground and vast lake right next to the site. Absolutely stunning during fall season and area is very secluded. Would recommend if you enjoy a little more privacy and less noise. Pack layers if you’re planning to visit outside of summer. Gets chilly at night.

Kolob Reservoir is absolutely stunning — such a beautiful and peaceful place to camp. The site itself was amazing, and I definitely plan on coming back. The only downside was that communication wasn’t great. I reached out the night before our trip with a few questions and didn’t hear back until late Saturday at 11pm,and our trip ended Sunday morning. I ended up having to ask the Kolob Reservoir host for help instead. That part was frustrating, but otherwise it was an amazing experience, and I’m excited to return.

I really enjoyed this campsite! It was quite clean and in a beautiful area. There’s lots of little trails to explore and walk around as well as of course as the reservoir which was right down the hill from the campsite. There was a porta potty as well as a public restroom maybe a minute or twos walk from the campsite. The road to get to the campsite also has beautiful views of Zion park.
Disclaimer: there is no WiFi! The rental store is closed for the season so there was no WiFi and there was no kolob campground WiFi available. No biggie but I would recommend screenshotting a map

If you want somewhere remote and a bit rugged, this place is a good option. Beautiful drive in, leaves were changing in mid September. Beautiful views. We were in site 4. With our Expedition EL and 18 foot trailer, it was kinda tight backing in, but the site itself was a good size. Dirt road was a bit rough, but the whole route is paved until you get there. It rained a lot, which made everything muddy.

Where to go
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
Hike along pink sand dunes, race over the landscape in an ATV, or catch a glimpse of rare wildlife with a trip to Coral Pink Sand Dunes. Home to Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetles found only in this region, the dunes offer a unique look into the deserts of Utah and Arizona. Camping is welcome year-round in the park, where amenities include pull-through campsites, drinking water, and a dump station.
Zion National Park
From the rugged wilderness of sandstone cliffs to the rushing water of Virgin River, Zion National Park has something for every nature lover. Chase a thrill while canyoneering down Virgin River Narrows, or learn more about Zion’s history in the accessible Zion Human History Museum. Multiple on-site campgrounds offer tent and RV camping, though campers are advised to book ahead for the busy season from May to November. For a relaxed way to see the park, explore Zion’s park shuttles that visit prominent sites, including Zion Canyon and the Temple of Sinawava.
Grand Canyon National Park
An hour and a half south in Arizona, Grand Canyon National Park is home to one of the world’s most spectacular geological destinations. The Colorado River cuts through layers of red rock, where campers can hike in the uplands or drift along the river to admire the canyon from below. Free South Rim shuttle buses run from May to September, offering an accessible way to travel to hiking destinations like South Kaibab Trail. Backpacking and camping on the North and South Rims are available with a backcountry permit, and a range of other on-site campgrounds offer tent camping and limited hookup stations for RVs.
When to go
Camping near Kanab is most popular in September and October, when long days, mild temperatures, and minimal rainfall make for comfortable outdoor conditions. Summer temperatures often reach 110℉, so stock up on water and sunscreen. Wintertime lows in the high 40s keep this region comfortable for year-round camping with fewer crowds.
