RV campers with full hookup needs will find East Zion RV Park operates as a small facility alongside the Best Western Thunderbird Lodge in Mount Carmel. The park accommodates 10-12 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections for $35-39 per night. A creek runs behind several shaded sites, providing water sounds that help mask highway noise from nearby Route 89.
The campground functions through an unusual arrangement where guests check in across the street at either the hotel or Chevron station, depending on office hours. Staff close the main desk on Wednesdays and Thursdays, though they respond to text messages for assistance. Sites include access to hotel amenities like the pool, hot tub, restaurant known for homemade pies, and golf course. "River or creek runs behind the shaded sites," notes Kimberly Y..
The facility shows mixed maintenance conditions according to recent visitors. Some report broken electrical posts and inadequate trash receptacles, while others appreciate the cleanliness and full amenities package. Cell service can be spotty with limited WiFi availability. The location provides year-round access for exploring Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and regional attractions. Campers wanting additional space might consider Twin Hollows Campground less than a mile south.
