Zion National Park, with its stunning red cliffs and panoramic views, is a place of immense beauty and adventure. While a quick visit might give you a glimpse of what Zion and the surrounding area have to offer, an extended stay at Zion Glamping Adventures (ZGA) ensures that you truly immerse yourself in the natural wonders and unique experiences available. Here’s why you should consider adding an extra day or two to your itinerary.

1. Fully Experience Each Activity

At ZGA, we offer a variety of exclusive adventures that cater to different interests and allow guests to deeply connect with the landscape. Extending your stay gives you the time to fully engage with each activity without feeling rushed.

  • Sunset Wagon Ride: There’s something profoundly peaceful about experiencing a sunset amidst Zion’s majestic scenery. Our Sunset Wagon Ride takes you through some of the most picturesque parts of the South Zion Area, just as the setting sun paints the sky with vibrant colors. This tranquil experience is the perfect way to end your day, and it deserves a dedicated evening without the rush. The Wagon departs the campground about 2 hours before Sunset!
  • Side by Side Petroglyph Tours: Explore the ancient history embedded in the landscapes surrounding Zion. Our guided Side by Side Petroglyph Tours take you to remote locations where you can see rock art left by Native American tribes centuries ago. These tours not only provide a thrilling ride through the rugged terrain but also a profound historical perspective that enriches your understanding of the region.

2. Discover Hidden Gems Like Water Canyon

While Zion National Park itself is a marvel, the surrounding areas boast hidden gems that many short-term visitors miss. Water Canyon, located just a short drive from ZGA, offers a serene and slightly challenging hike that culminates in stunning views and, during certain times of the year, cascading waterfalls.

  • Water Canyon Hike: This hike is ideal for those looking to escape the more crowded trails of Zion. The trailhead is conveniently close to ZGA, making it easily accessible for our guests. The hike features a mix of terrains and requires some scrambling, which makes it an exciting adventure for those looking for something a bit different from the main park trails.

3. Enjoy Leisure and Relaxation

One of the best reasons to extend your stay at ZGA is to take advantage of the relaxation and leisure opportunities that our glamping experience offers.

  • Luxurious Camping Accommodations: Each of our glamping units is designed with comfort and luxury in mind. Spacious tents with plush bedding, and personal deck areas offer a perfect blend of nature and comfort. Extra days mean more time lounging under the stars or waking up to stunning sunrises with all the comforts of home.
  • Stargazing Nights: The remote location of ZGA away from city lights makes it an ideal spot for stargazing. Spend an evening under the stars, perhaps even seeing the Milky Way from the campground (moon phase depending).


In conclusion, adding an extra day or two to your visit at Zion Glamping Adventures allows you to explore at a relaxed pace, delve deeper into the natural and cultural riches of the area, and enjoy each moment without feeling hurried. From adventurous tours to peaceful evenings under the stars, a longer stay lets you fully embrace the transformative experiences that Zion and its surroundings have to offer.
