Camping at Zion, Bryce & Cedar Breaks

Every park campground between the three parks — sites, seasons, and the honest fallback when they're full.

En bref

La version courte

There are 6 NPS campgrounds across Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Cedar Breaks — about 526 sites total — and in season, the popular ones (Watchman, North) book out months ahead on recreation.gov. Below: every campground with live site counts and links, and the honest alternative when they're full — a bed in Duck Creek Village, in the middle of all three parks.

Bon a savoir

  • Reserve on recreation.gov the moment your dates firm up — Watchman (Zion) and North (Bryce) are the first to go.
  • Elevation is the sleeper factor: Point Supreme sits at 10,000 ft and Lava Point at 7,890 ft — summer nights drop near freezing.
  • Duck Creek Village sits between all three parks; when campgrounds are full (or the forecast turns), the inn is the fallback that does not require a tent.

When everything is booked (or it is 34°F at midnight)

The middle of the triangle is not a campground — it is Duck Creek Village. From the inn you are ~30 minutes from Cedar Breaks and about an hour from either Zion or Bryce, which is closer to all three parks than any single campground gets you. Real beds, real showers, and no six-months-out lottery. Compare rooms and cabins, or see how the between-parks logistics work in our Bryce-to-Zion lodging guide.

Camping questions

What campers planning the three-park loop ask.

How far ahead do Zion and Bryce campgrounds book out?

Watchman Campground (Zion) opens reservations six months out and prime dates go within minutes. South Campground releases two weeks ahead. North Campground at Bryce is six months out as well. If your dates are inside a month and everything shows booked, check for cancellations daily — or skip the tent and stay in Duck Creek Village between the parks.

Which campground is best positioned for visiting all three parks?

None of them — each campground is inside one park. Point Supreme at Cedar Breaks is the most central but has just 25 sites and a short season. That middle position is exactly why Duck Creek Village works as a base: roughly 30 minutes to Cedar Breaks and about an hour to either Zion or Bryce.

How cold does it get at these campgrounds at night?

Colder than most people pack for. Point Supreme (10,000 ft) and Lava Point (7,890 ft) regularly drop into the 30s°F on summer nights; Bryce campgrounds sit near 8,000 ft and behave the same. Only the Zion canyon campgrounds (Watchman, South) stay warm. Bring real insulation, whatever the daytime forecast says.

Are campfires allowed right now?

It changes with fire restrictions — southern Utah spends much of most summers under Stage 1 or Stage 2 rules that ban open fires even in campground rings. Check the live alerts on our per-park conditions pages (linked below) the week you arrive.
