Camping '99 Destination Series: Zion National Park
Carmel Junction, is a scenic byway. There are two large sections of Dixie National Forest close to Zion. Quail Creek State Park (23 sites) is three miles east of I-15 on Route 9. This lovely park offers boating, fishing, swimming and much more. Snow Canyon State Park (35 sites) is located about 35 miles northwest of St. George, off Utah Route 18. Snow Canyon has electrical hookups, showers and a dump station. Hiking and biking are popular activities in and about its beautiful red Navajo sandstone formations.
There is much more that I could say about Zion National Park. Put simply, the park is a real wonder to behold! We certainly enjoyed our camping and sightseeing there and will return for more. After visiting Bryce Canyon National Park, I thought that Zion would be more of the same - beautiful, but the same. Boy, was I ever wrong! In all, Zion (which is Hebrew meaning safety and refuge) dazzles the senses and calms the soul. It is a wonderful place to be and a very good place to camp. In Zion, nature displays some of her best.
