Discover Zion National Park: Why Camping with Bindlestiff Tours Is the Best Way to Explore Utah’s Iconic Canyon

Zion National Park is one of the most breathtaking places in the American Southwest. Towering red sandstone cliffs, lush river valleys, and narrow slot canyons make it a hiker’s paradise. But to truly experience its beauty, you need more than just a quick visit—you need to stay, slow down, and immerse yourself in nature.

A Zion camping tour with Bindlestiff Tours is the easiest, most rewarding way to explore this iconic park. Whether you’re looking for a small-group adventure or a private, customized trip, camping inside or near the park gives you access to its best trails, views, and hidden corners.


Why Camp in Zion Instead of Staying in a Hotel?

While Springdale and nearby towns have plenty of hotels, camping brings you closer to the heart of Zion. Here’s why:

  • Wake up to canyon views without driving into the park

  • Start hikes early before the crowds arrive

  • Enjoy the starry skies in one of Utah’s dark-sky areas

  • Disconnect from the noise and truly feel the serenity of nature

When you camp, you get to see Zion at sunrise and sunset, when the cliffs glow gold and orange.


Hassle-Free Camping with Bindlestiff Tours

Camping in Zion can be challenging for first-timers—permits, gear rentals, and campsite reservations can fill up months in advance. Bindlestiff Tours eliminates the hassle by including:

All camping equipment (tents, pads, sleeping bags)
Campsite reservations already secured
