Campers consistently rave about the peace and beauty of this site, with its breathtaking views and spacious grounds offering a sense of solitude. Many appreciate the ease of finding a campsite, noting the abundance of fire pits and the site's proximity to Zion National Park. While some mention the challenge of navigating the roads, especially in wet conditions, most agree it's worth the effort for the stunning sunsets and starry nights. A few reviews mention noise from other campers at night, but overall, the atmosphere is quiet and respectful.

Outrageously Beautiful!

6 m campervan

My husband and I planned to stay in Zion National Park, but decided to leave as it’s gotten far too busy for our taste. I checked Hipcamp and found “Zion Wright Ranch”. Zion Wright Ranch’s dispersed camping offers many opportunities to overlook Zion National Park, was peaceful, outrageously beautiful we will return. I wholeheartedly recommend, we love “Zion Wright Ranch”!

The views, the quiet, and the stars could not be beat. It's a long drive up a dirt road, but so is where we live in Vermont, so we felt right at home. We heard coyotes yipping and howling at night, which we loved, but other than that it was beautifully quiet. So close to Zion, but way out of the fray.

Amazing Zion views

Tent

The view from my camp was incredible! I will stay there again. The road condition was a bit rough though. Driving during rain would be a bit touch and go. Bathroom facilities were adequate as well.

The view is just stunning! This is remote camping in a field area (with a few cows around!). One can basically drive up to any firepit and set up camp. I could see a few other campers but not close at all, definitely very private. A few porta potties are scattered around. Note, you are on ranch land but you will not actually see the active part of the ranch - we never saw the host. Would definitely come back!

Unforgettable and remote!

Tent

I have never camped in a more beautiful remote place. You will really not find a better view. Loved that this site was basically in the park in a part of Zion where there were little to no crowds at trailheads (writing this in April). While it was very windy during our stay, we had no problem getting up the dirt road to the campsite, although keep in mind that if it rains, the road is impassable when wet so plan accordingly. The road is an experience in itself! To get to the Springdale Zion entrance took 30 min, and the drive was gorgeous. Especially during sunrise. We drove miles and miles on the dirt road around the ranch and admired the land and all of the cows. We read about the Wright family - what a privilege it was to stay on this land. The sky was so dark and there were billions of stars. Note: Be aware of wildfire conditions. It was windy up there during our stay and super dry. As much as you want to light a campfire, be careful, and if you do, douse your fire in water when you're done!
