There are several glamping sites near Zion National Park, and the top ones are: Under Canvas Zion, Zions Tiny Oasis, Zion Wildflower Resort, and Zion Glamping Adventures.

Three days is a good amount of time to explore Zion National Park. Here’s my itinerary for 3 days in Zion National Park:

Arrival Day: Arrive at Zion as early as possible and head to the Kolob Canyons Visitor Center. Drive the scenic Kolob Canyons Road and hike the Timber Creek Overlook Trail (easy-moderate, 1 mile, out and back, 100 feet elevation gain).

Day 1: Rent e-bikes and start riding as early as possible. Ride the Pa’rus Trail, then the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. Go all the way to the end of the scenic drive, and stop as often as you want. Hike Angel’s Landing on this day (strenuous, 5.4 miles out and back, 1500 foot elevation gain, long drop-offs). You’ll need a hiking permit, so plan your biking schedule to accommodate your permit time.

If you don’t want to hike Angel’s Landing, hike the West Rim Trail until it becomes the Angel’s Landing trail, then turn around. You’ll want to pack out your lunch and then have dinner in Springdale or back at your accommodation.

Day 2: Drive the scenic Zion-Mount Carmel Highway. Hike the Canyon Overlook Trail, and stop at all the pull-offs on your side of the road. Keep driving out of Zion’s East Entrance. A herd of bison is usually visible on the right a few miles outside of the park. You can turn around if you get to Zion Mountain Ranch and haven’t seen the bison. Have lunch at Cordwood or Co-op Cafe before heading back into the park and stopping at all the pull-offs on the other side of the scenic drive.

Day 3: Hike The Narrows (Bottom-Up route via the Riverside Walk, 9.4 miles out and back). The Narrows hike averages about 6 hours, and the trail is the Virgin River, so you’ll be wading through ankle to waist-deep water. You’ll want to rent specialized equipment – shoes, a dry suit, neoprene socks, a waterproof bag, and a walking stick – and you’ll need to monitor the weather because flash floods, cold water temperatures, and high water levels can be very dangerous. Plan on this hike taking most of the day, and you’ll want to bring a pack-out lunch, plenty of water, and snacks.

If you don’t want to hike The Narrows, hike the Watchman Trail in the morning, have a picnic lunch or eat in Springdale, then in the afternoon, hike the Lower and Middle Emerald Pools Loop, and if you’re up for it, continue to the Upper Emerald Pool.

Zion Lodge is the only hotel inside the national park. For camping, I highly recommend staying at one of the two campgrounds inside the park. Watchman Campground is open all year, and South Campground is open in the spring, summer, and fall. Both of these campgrounds fill up fast, so book your site as early as possible.
