I really enjoyed my camping stay here. We had a view that’s hard to beat, and we didn’t have to fight to reserve 6 months in advance; only about 5 days before arriving!
Nats we’re buzzing around fiercely, but I expect it when camping, and no mosquitos. Not a ton of trees but enough to keep out of the sun in our camp site. I’ll be back!


We had an amazing time! The scenery was beautiful and we found a great spot to watch the moon rise. 10/10 for us. Will remember this spot!
Thank you!!!
The view was incredible! It was a bit off the beaten path but worth it. The road getting in is definitely something to consider, as there is one specific section that our camper van struggled getting up (front wheel drive). Other than that, it was a perfect spot as there were tons of options to choose from. We made sure to get close to a restroom that had been serviced recently. Most spots had a dedicated fire ring and manageable road to access from. We would stay here again for sure!
The horseback riding was the highlight of the trip - such epic views and well behaved horses. The guide (youngest son) was great and took such good care of all of us during our ride.
Immense beautiful land, peaceful, light on Zion NP.
Away from it all..but at the same time so close:))
Amazing evening.
The views were absolutely gorgeous and totally worth waking up for for sunrise and staying up for sunset. Other campers were very courteous to turn their lights off at night for stargazing. Porta potties were clean. Only complaints were that the road had a very difficult section to get up with a 2WD vehicle and that there were also quite a few plants with thorns that would get in your sandals so wear closed toed shoes. Also PS bring bug spray. When you arrive at the camp, you can camp anywhere there is a fire ring. I suggest closer to the left side for the best views!
Super cool staying here! Awesome views & perfect distance to Zion National Park/ Springdale to catch the buses!

Camping on the Wright family ranch was absolutely incredible. The view was spectacular and the drive to Zion was easy (about 45 min). This may be one of the coolest places I have ever camped. There are multiple campsites across the field so you are not alone, but they are very spaced out so don't feel like you have neighbors.
A Wright family member (Stuart) came around to check reservations my second night and I ended up booking a trail ride with him the next morning! It was a great ride around the property, the horse was wonderful and the view was spectacular.
The road to the field was rough but I made it up there in my Hyundai Elantra and I saw other sedans as well.
I definitely plan on camping here again and I honestly think this place may become my go-to spot for Zion.
