Glamping Near Zion
Glamping is the sleep-outside-without-the-work option, and Zion has a lot of it. Our lodging guide lists seven properties. None has a Yelp rating in our notes, so this page compares them on what they are and where they sit.
West of the Park: Virgin and Beyond
These four are the polished, canvas-and-Airstream end of the spectrum. Distances are as given on our lodging guide, so check exact drive times before you plan around them. Our Virgin guide covers the town where three of them sit.
We may earn a commission if you book through these links, at no extra cost to you. Our write-ups come first; we never rank a property by what it pays. How this works.

A Gap Worth Knowing About
Because none of these have Yelp ratings in our notes, we cannot rank them the way we rank Springdale hotels. Read current guest reviews before you book, since a tent stay depends heavily on the specific unit. If you would rather have a conventional room, start with our best hotels near Zion page, or see cabins and RV parks and campgrounds for other ways to sleep closer to nature. The full list is on the main lodging guide.
