Zion and Bryce National Park with Camping

Camping

Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks sit just a few hours apart in southern Utah, but they feel like different planets. Bryce is a natural amphitheatre of red-orange hoodoos rising from the valley floor like stone totems. Zion is known for towering sandstone cliffs with a river running between them. This two-day trip from Las Vegas gives you a full day in each park, with a night camped near Bryce Canyon and an outdoor hot tub to ease your legs after the hike.

Your route

What makes the night special

The camp sits near Bryce Canyon at around 8,000 feet, high enough for cold, clear nights and dark skies with minimal light pollution. After a day walking among the hoodoos, the outdoor hot tub is the payoff — soaking under Utah’s night sky with nothing overhead but stars. The elevation and dry desert air make the temperature drop fast after sunset, so stepping from the hot tub into your tent you feel the contrast sharply. It is quiet up here, and that quiet carries into the morning.

The drive from Las Vegas climbs to around 8,000 feet as you enter Bryce Canyon National Park. From the rim, the view drops into a vast natural amphitheatre filled with thousands of red-orange hoodoos, thin spires of rock eroded into shapes that look almost deliberately sculpted. You can walk along the rim for wide views or descend into the amphitheatre on trails that wind between the spires. Back at camp in the evening, the outdoor hot tub is waiting — a soak under the desert sky after a full day on your feet.

Day two puts Zion National Park in the spotlight, where massive sandstone canyon walls glow red and orange in the morning light. You can hike to the Emerald Pools, a series of waterfalls and pools set into the cliff face. If conditions allow, there is also the option to wade into the Narrows, a river hike between towering sandstone walls that narrow to just a few metres apart. After a full day in Zion, the group heads back to Las Vegas.

The tour is available in English, Italian, French, Spanish and German. Meals, drinks and water are not included — bring a refillable water container.

Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer the most comfortable hiking temperatures in both parks. Summer is hot at lower elevations in Zion but pleasant at Bryce Canyon’s higher altitude. Winter brings snow to Bryce Canyon and cold camping conditions. The Narrows river hike in Zion is seasonal and depends on water levels.

A moderate level of fitness is helpful. Hiking in Bryce Canyon involves descending into and climbing out of the amphitheatre, with some steep sections. Zion’s trails range from easy walks to the Emerald Pools to the more demanding Narrows river hike. You should be comfortable walking for several hours and sleeping outdoors in a tent. The minimum age is 7 and the tour is not wheelchair accessible. Solo travellers are paired with a tent partner of the same gender.
