If you’re starting your Utah RV adventure from Nevada or Arizona, entering the southwest part of the state soon deposits you in Zion National Park. Hikes to Angels Landing, Weeping Rock or Emerald Pools are among the self-guided favorites—or the more adventurous can hire a local guide to go canyoneering or horseback riding. (Note that RVs that are 11’4” or taller or 7’10” or wider, including mirrors, require a tunnel permit to get through the tunnel to the upper part of the park, and RVs over 13’1” or more than 40’ long are not permitted.)
The three campgrounds in the park are very popular and fully occupied almost every night from mid-March through November. West of the park, Zion River Resort is a popular choice, offering a full range of amenities and an onsite pool and sauna; on the east, Zion Crest Campground and RV resort provides full access to the amenities of Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort.
