Beautiful trail starts at Red Cliffs Campground where you need to have $5 in cash to put in an envelope for day parking. Spots are usually full on the weekends so arrive early or come on a weekday. Trail is a beautiful hike but most people don't get past a mile in where you need to climb on a cliff side with a rope to help and a deep pool to slip into. Great for kids for the first mile, experienced canyoneers can progress further. Very short trail from Red Cliffs campground leads to a sign for the dinosaur footprints. Information signs discuss the footprint information. Great to take kids and only a 4 minute hike.

One of our favorites of the trip. The kids loved climbing the rocks. Some shade throughout which our dog appreciated. Huge cave you can climb up into and have a snack break or just enjoy the beautiful view - really seems otherworldly. Kids (8&9) and husband did the rope area while I waited by the little natural pools with the dog. I was against it at first, but didn't seem as bad when we got there as it is in pictures and they handled it beautifully. That said, they did get a little spooked at the higher point of the crossing.

In A Nutshell: -The Red Reef Trail in the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area is a local secret. -If you want a fun, easy & short hike that encapsulates a lot of what the great state of Utah offers, then this is the trail to do. -You'll see red rock mountains, trees, a creek bed (with or without water) & the iconic smooth sand stones. -The hike is very short probably around 2 miles round trip. -There are some unique challenges like crossing over using a rope while ensuring your footing is along carved out rock, in addition to some light scrambling. -It wasn't crowded at all when I did it, I saw about 10 people total. Overall, this is a very cool hike, worth checking out.

Easy to moderate trail. I say moderate because there were some steep moments that our littles struggled with (4 year olds). But still a great family trail. The end, however, I would not trust kids to climb unless there is water for them to fall in and swim. The rocks were already slippery without water on them. Imagine how slippery they'd be with water. We went the first of June and it was practically bone dry: no waterfall and little mirky water. Kids basically played with the tadpoles.

We went here after visiting Jellystone in CA a couple years ago. Their kids play areas, pickleball…read more and basketball courts were great! Water park areas were a bit small but still fun for the kid. They could use some lights around the pillow jump area at night but that's a small thing. Big shoutout to the reservations manager. We had booked a year and a half prior and our site we chose was moved (due to the site programming changing hands between the time we booked and the time we stayed) and after some discussion they were able to get us a site that we felt comfortable with on a very busy weekend. Note to future campers. Pay the extra fee to keep the spot you booked. Or they will move you to a crummy one. All in all we had a great time for our spring break and will recommend to friends.

Ok all my fellow Yelpers and fun seekers, this is the spot. This place is amazing fun filled…read moreadventures with lots of stuff to do especially for the kids or just the adults. They have RV spots, cabins, tent spots, day use villas. We spent three days in our large rv and let me tell you something for the price and free things to do was the best mini vacation getaways. A very special shout out to the Park Employee Fransisco who went out of his way to show the best guest service showing us the cabins. This is not only a water park, adventure park with rope obstacles but has off road excursions. The food here is amazing and inexpensive and with Walmart only a mile away makes super convenient.

I have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years, and I can honestly say this is the best one…read moreI have ever visited. It was spotlessly clean, easy to find and enter, great parking, and great location to Zion. The bedrooms were huge, with a king sized bed and twin bed in each, so you could easily sleep 6 adults here, and more if people were willing to do air mattresses in the living room. The bathrooms were great, and fully stocked with many towels. Great shower and bath tub. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook, including a crock pot and waffle maker! They ever had a pancake/waffle mix out on the counter which was so cute. The tv was easy to use and had lots of app options. The blinds worked great to keep out the sun. The couch was very comfortable and the kitchen is huge! The street was very quiet, and the little town had a few nice restaurants and was only minutes away from the main drag in Hurricane. I am so happy my husband found this place, what a score! Honestly my only negative notes are nitpicking - one of the twin bed frames was loose and creaky and could use some tightening. The ceiling fan in our room was stuck on the highest mode and we couldn't adjust it. Tiny things like that, but nothing to take away from what a phenomenal experience we had. We don't go to Zion often which is kind of a shame because I would totally stay here again.

We have stayed in the pet friendly cottage #4 three times. It is fantastic. We bought a house in…read moreAZ and we travel back and forth from Idaho and needed a place 'in the middle' that is comfortable for us and our 3 dogs. We LOVE this place. Its always squeaky clean, has comfortable king bed and best of all - a fenced backyard with grass. We so look forward to stopping here after a long day of driving. The back fence is 4ft tall which works fine for us as our big dogs are not jumpers. Also, nice patch of grass. It's on a fairly busy street so the front room has a bit of street noise but it doesn't bother us at all. It's a 2 bed/2 bath both ensuites with king beds. Everything you would need in the kitchen, cozy living room area with a small TV. Lots of places to eat in Hurricane which is 5 min away. Highly recommend. So grateful we don't have to walk the dogs on leashes (yucko) - just open the front door and shoo them in - then they can roam around the backyard safely. We will be back again and again!

Autocamp Zion was the perfect place for our wedding on November 8th, 2025!…read more Lindy was extremely helpful and wonderful to work with from our first meeting to touring around the grounds, months of preparation, and day of assistance. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a seamless day. As well as other staff members at AutoCamp. They were all so kind and helpful. The ceremony and reception locations were perfect for a morning wedding and brunch reception. My husband and I are so grateful for AutoCamp and our guests still talk about this day and their time spent at AutoCamo Zion!

This review is from a recent stay at Autocamp Zion in October of 2025. We had stayed at an Autocamp…read moreproperty several years ago when it was still a smaller operation in Santa Barbara and had very nice memories of that time. So when we planned a Zion trip we were eager to stay again, but it just wasn't up to par for the amount we paid for it. The positives were the location which is super close to the park and close to other stuff (like our dog daycare we needed to go to) which made driving very easy. The staff were also helpful in the main communal area with questions, recommendations, ice, and other smaller things. Our biggest complaint was with the state of the units/property itself. IT just, needs some TLC. Some of our windows didn't open, airstreams are so close together you're not actually really getting any of that open air, and the taking your bags in a wagon thing was not great especially if its dark when you get there. Given the many properties across the West, we'll for sure try Autocamp again but this visit just wasn't there.
