Loved most

  • Excellent location/proximity to Zion
  • Scenic drives through the park
  • Pool complex and hot tub
  • Family-friendly with activities
  • Comfortable beds and spacious rooms
  • Unique wagon/glamping experience

Worth knowing — Dirty shared showers and poorly cleaned shared facilities · Stains/chocolate on sheets and walls in at least one room · No shared kitchen or fridge for longer glamping stays · Breakfast starts too late for many hikers · Distance to certain Zion entrances (35–45 min drive) / confusing different entrances · Late-night check-in closed / double-booked unit reported

How guests scored the stay

  • Location9.2

    Widely praised for proximity to Zion and scenic drives; many guests called the location great or a steal, though some noted it can be a 35–45 minute drive and different park entrances can be confusing.

  • Amenities8.8

    Strong amenities: pool complex, hot tub, activities and on-site facilities were frequently praised; some practical drawbacks included lack of shared kitchen/fridge and distance from toilets for some glamping units.

  • Value for Money8.5

    Seen as good value by many guests (described as a steal and affordable), with minor negatives from service/cleanliness reducing perceived value for some.

  • Room Quality8.3

    Generally positive: comfortable beds, spacious rooms and unique wagon/cabin experiences; isolated issues included an unheated trailer and at least one report suggesting the bed may not have been properly made.

  • Overall Experience8.2

    Overall positive and family-friendly with many delighted guests and memorable stays, tempered by recurring issues around shared cleanliness and occasional service failures.

  • Service7.6

    Mixed service: standout praise for a receptionist (Emily) for exceptional help, but multiple reports of poor check-in (closed desk), unresponsive phone/owner and unhelpful reception staff or language issues.

  • Food and Beverage7.4

    Mixed food experience: on-site restaurant served as a useful backup but was not highly rated by some; breakfast start times were too late for hikers, while others enjoyed food options.

    “This location was top tier, even though it was about 35min drive to the Zion visitors centre, driving through the park each morning couldn't be more stunning and you also avoid the big que of cars coming from Springdale. Our Glamping tent was perfect for two friends, a bit of a walk to toilets and fresh water but private and clean overall with parking right in front. The pool was awesome!”

    “The receptionist, Emily💖 was amazing helpful, and very kind. She made our trip even better with all her recommendations and answered all of my questions without an annoyance and it was greatly appreciated. Her customer service was beyond exceptional, and we will definitely be back because of her in our overall experience.”

  • This is such a steal for the how close it is the Zion. It’s a great family friendly property with lots to do
