Welcome to Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort, one of the top family-friendly adventure resorts in the U.S., located just 3 hours from Las Vegas and a half-day drive from southern California! The beautiful plateau east of Zion National Park is the home of Zion Ponderosa Ranch and Resort. Up here, where the wind blows the cooler air through the Zion summer, we have a wide variety of lodging, recreation, a

nd dining options. While staying with us, guests can stay in accommodations ranging from a simple tent site to glamping tents, cabin suites, luxury vacation homes and more. Tents can be rented here for a nightly fee, or bring your own and set up camp. We also have RV sites with full hook-ups and are adding more this summer. Our Conestoga wagons offer an Old West experience with modern amenities. Cowboy Cabins are the most basic cabin we offer, with a heated bedroom and room enough for six. Upgrading to the Cabin Suite for four or six provides a kitchenette and a small bathroom. Finally, our vacation homes on the East Zion Ridge provide a range of sizes and amenities. Zion Ponderosa has more on-property recreation than any other resort near Zion. Our guided Jeep tours take guests out to amazing viewpoints and exciting trails. Canyoneering is a unique experience that anyone who wants adventure should look into -- rappel down into slot canyons and work your way through them with our experienced recreation staff. Fuel your adventures at our on-property restaurant, Ray's, or grab a snack or beverage to go from The Narrows coffee bar. Wrap up your day of Zion adventures with a dip in the pool or hot tub.

Our story 🧡

Zion Ponderosa isn’t just a vacation destination – it’s a living legacy. Our story began decades ago when a visionary man named Ray Lewis acquired what was then a rustic patchwork of pioneer homesteads. From Pine Knoll, the highest point on the ranch, Ray gazed southwest into the heart of Zion and saw more than just land; he envisioned a natural sanctuary🌲

Ray imagined a place where families and adventurers could step away from the everyday, connect with nature, and create lasting memories — all on the doorstep of one of the world’s most spectacular places, Zion National Park 🏜️

For Ray and Ruth Lewis, this vast expanse of land was a sacred trust. Ray firmly believed it was his calling to care for and preserve this unique landscape for generations to come 🌎

Ray Lewis passed away on December 31, 1995, but his profound dream lives on vibrantly through the legacy he entrusted to his children and grandchildren. The Neeleman and Lewis families continue to feel incredibly blessed to be the stewards of this great heritage. We are honored to inspire a deep love for Zion and its surrounding beauty in every valued guest who drives through our gates ✨
