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.

Summer is in full swing! ☀️ It’s the best time of year to book Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort as your Zion National Park basecamp! A few reasons why:

🌡️ Cooler temps than Springdale — Because the resort is at an elevation of 6,500 feet, it offers a break from the heat of Springdale and Zion Canyon.

🥾 Adventure headquarters — We offer jeep tours, horseback rides, canyoneering excursions, guided hikes, etc that all depart right from the resort.

🏊🏼‍♀️ Built-in summer fun — We have a pool, a pond with paddleboards and a water trampoline, mini golf, a climbing wall, pickleball, volleyball, paintball, and more!

🎶 Free nightly events for guests — During summer months we have free nightly activities for all resorts guests! Think butter-making, live music, marshmallow roasts, field games, etc.

🏜️ Close to Zion National Park — Our location just 15 minutes from the east entrance of the park gives you close proximity to Zion without having to fight Springdale crowds.

⛺️ Lodging for every style and group size — We offer a variety of lodging like conestoga wagons, glamping tents, small cabins, tiny homes, and larger vacation homes for even the biggest groups.

🌌 Outstanding stargazing — Dark skies and wide open spaces make for incredible views of the Milky Way during summer months.

Just to name a few! Will we see you this summer in Zion?🌲
