South Campground, Campground in Zion National Park, United States
The South Campground stretches along the Virgin River, providing tent and RV spaces surrounded by red sandstone cliffs within Zion National Park's desert environment.
The Civilian Conservation Corps established South Campground in 1935, marking the beginning of organized camping facilities in Zion National Park's southern section.
The campground follows Native American principles of land stewardship by implementing strict regulations for wildlife protection and natural resource conservation.
The facility operates from March through October with a 14-day advance reservation system, offering basic amenities including flush toilets and drinking water stations.
Drainage systems from Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway direct water flow into specifically engineered channels, protecting the Virgin River's ecosystem near the campsites.
