No matter what the season, there’s a million different reasons to visit Southern Utah. But at the top of the list is Zion National Park. It’s not hard to see why. Few places on earth can rival the majestic and ancient mystery that is Zion., where hundreds of miles of sandstone and red rock cliffs flank deep valleys playing host to all manner of plants and wildlife wholly unique to Utah.
Zion may be ideal for camping but camping in Zion is not for everyone. Especially after a full day of hiking and backpacking. The last thing you want after traipsing through underbrushes and gorges is a rustic campsite with minimal (if any) amenities. You want to unwind. You want to relax. And above all, you want comfort, peace, and quiet. So what are the best places to stay in Zion National Park?
