Camping in Southern Utah and the Colorado Plateau - The Desert Rat
Whether you prefer full hookups or are happy as a king with a juniper tree for shade and an open sky for the night lights, you'll find a great camp spot around Zion.
Night lights abound in the desert skies. And, not a flurry of man made florescence, but infinite stary expanses that our ancestors dreamed under for thousands of years. Before your next camping trip come grab the latest gear from Thermarest, Kelty, Mountain Hardware and many more to make your outdoor sleep restful and rejuvenating. On this page you'll find hot spots in the area, can read up on trip reports, get quick info you'll need and catch some pics while you're at it. When you're ready to get out there, stop by the shop in St. George and pick up the right gear to make the most of it. Enjoy the night lights!
