7/10

Our take

Pretty location with the Zion rocks right in the background, and close enough to the visitor center that you walk over and catch the shuttle. Walking trails from camp, even a trail to walk your dog, which is rare in national parks. Clean showers and bathrooms, and water to fill the tanks. But the sites have no electricity, water, or sewer; it would be nice to just have power, though you can rough it for one night. Hot, with a lot of wind at night. So easy to catch the shuttle for dinner, and we caught it again at 7 AM for the hike.

Hookups
