Zion Wright Family Ranch offers a picturesque camping experience with breathtaking views of Zion National Park as the backdrop. The vast open space allows campers to enjoy privacy and tranquility, with plenty of room to spread out and choose a perfect spot. Visitors appreciate the unique charm of sharing the land with grazing cows, whose bells add a rustic touch to the serene environment. While the dirt road can be a bit of a challenge, most find the stunning scenery and peaceful atmosphere well worth the journey.

Great spot.

Tent

Loved it. It was a special overlook camp spot. We got lucky with a full moon and great weather. The fact that you can set up anywhere was fun. The cows with their bells waking us up in the morning was a perfect way to start a day of hiking.

Private Oasis with a Wild Drive In

17 ft campervan

We arrived late at night, & the drive up the mountain was definitely tense, especially in the dark with the faded sign that’s hard to spot (a clearer marker would help!). The land itself is beautiful & spacious, it’s expansive with lots of space between sites, so it really feels like your own little oasis. I’d recommend parking your vehicle facing into the wind - otherwise, you might get rocked a bit overnight. Sunrise was absolutely stunning & totally worth staying at this spot. Just try to arrive before dark, save your bathroom trip for another time, & note the host wasn’t responsive after a few messages.

Great Spot!

Tent

I absolutely loved our stay here at the Zion Wright Family Ranch. The place was easy to find, lots of great spots to choose from, and it was so cool to be camping in a spot with Zion National Park as the backdrop! My husband and I really enjoyed our time here on the ranch and would absolutely love to come back on any of our other trips to Zion or the Southern Utah area!
