Utah is certainly one of the greatest states in the country for RV travel. It is beautiful from top to bottom and its “Mighty Five” collection of National Parks is on just about everybody’s bucket list.  Zion National Park is the most visited of the so-called “Mighty Five” and it is truly one of the most famous and magnificent national parks in the entire world. Jellystone Park Zion (which is located in Hurricane, Utah less than 30 miles away) recently opened its doors to guests and it is already earning rave reviews for its attractions, amenities, spacious RV sites, and modern cabin options.

If you are looking for a place to park your rig or cabin camp on that epic trip to Zion National Park that you have been dreaming about–then you definitely want to give Jellystone Park Zion a very good look. Particularly if you are traveling with kids of any age that love to cool off and get wet after a morning of exploration and adventure in the great outdoors.

This park has an almost endless list of attractions and amenities–but here are the three most compelling reasons why we think you should consider booking with them if you are heading to Zion at any point in the near future.

1. The water attractions are magnificent and appealing for little kids and for teenagers and adults. Everyone in the family will have fun here. Whether you have kids that are thrill seekers, or little ones that are looking for little slides–Jellystone Park Zion has got you covered.


2. The proximity to Zion National Park and Sand Hollow State Park make both terrific options for day trips. Exploring the best that southern Utah has to offer and then coming back to the water attractions at this Jellystone sounds like a complete dream to us.


3. We find the prices here for RV sites and for cabin rentals to be very reasonable considering what the park offers to its guests at no additional cost. We stayed right outside of Zion in the summer of 2023 and lodging (like cabins and full-hook up RV sites) is not cheap in the general area. If you do a cost/amenities comparison between this campground and other private campgrounds in the region we think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Let’s take a closer look at the park’s astonishing “4-acre multi-level water zone” which includes multiple water slides, a lazy river, a floating obstacle course, multiple pools, a hot tub, and so much more.

Water Attractions at Jellystone Park Zion

If these pictures don’t make you want to drop everything and book a trip to Jellystone Park Zion then we don’t know what will. The water attractions at this park have to be among the best in the country. During our interview with Scott Nielson he also mentioned that they plan on heating the pools into the fall so you can go swimming–even on Halloween weekends–which sounds like a terrific option after the kids go trick or treating.

While the water attractions (and the location) may be the biggest draw at Jellystone Park Zion—they still have a heck of a lot more to offer. There are playgrounds, pickleball courts, basketball courts, two dog parks with obstacle courses, a jumping pad, and seriously–so much more! Let’s let the pictures do the talking and take a look at some of these other amenities…

Other Attractions and Amenities at Jellystone Park Zion

Whether you have littles that want to play at the playground or jump on the jumping pad, or teens and tweens that want to play basketball, Jellystone Park Zion has got you covered with great options. We particularly love seeing those sports courts for the older kids and for mom and dad! Our whole family loves to play pickleball together and I think you would definitely find us there every evening when we visit this park.

Themed Weekends and Activities at Jellystone Park Zion

Jellystone Park Zion also has tons of planned activities and themed weekends–so the kids will be busy all day long–and sleep plenty good at night. Some examples of the themed weekends are Hawaiian Luau Weekend, Western Wet and Wild Weekend, Fireworks and Fun Weekend and tons more–you can find a complete list of themed weekends for 2024 right here.
