Few places on earth command as much reverence as Zion National Park. Its towering sandstone cliffs, emerald pools, and slot canyons carved by ancient rivers create a landscape that feels almost otherworldly. But while millions flock to experience these red rock wonders each year, finding the perfect place to rest your head after a day of adventure can make or break your trip.
Enter Zion White Bison Glamping Resort—a sanctuary where luxury meets the wild, just minutes from Zion’s entrance. This isn’t your typical campground experience. Here, you can soak in a private hot tub under a canopy of stars, cook dinner in a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and wake up to views that rival any postcard. It’s the kind of place where your biggest decision is whether to hit the trails at sunrise or linger a little longer watching the bison graze outside your window.
Zion White Bison Glamping Resort: Where Adventure Meets Luxury
Nestled against the stunning backdrop of Zion National Park, Zion White Bison Resort offers something truly unique—accommodations that let you experience the desert’s raw beauty without sacrificing comfort. Located just a few miles from the park entrance, this glamping destination transforms your Zion visit into an immersive adventure.
Unique Accommodations That Tell a Story
The resort’s accommodations read like chapters from different eras of the American West. Covered Wagon Suites transport you back to pioneer days, complete with king or queen beds, private bathrooms, and central heating and cooling. These aren’t rustic reproductions—they’re thoughtfully designed spaces that blend historical charm with modern amenities.
For those seeking an elevated experience, the Luxury Teepees offer the ultimate glamping adventure. Each teepee features a plush king-size bed, walk-in rainfall shower, and private hot tub. The real magic happens outside, where your personal outdoor kitchen includes everything from a dishwasher to an ice maker—because even desert adventures deserve convenience.
The Cliff Dwellings might be the crown jewel of the property. Patterned after ancient kivas, these modern interpretations offer south-facing views and rooftop decks complete with private hot tubs. Each dwelling includes two queen beds or a single king, a full kitchenette, and that million-dollar view of Zion and Gooseberry Mesa.
For RV enthusiasts, the resort’s RV Sites range from 50 to 100 feet in length, offering full hookups and access to all resort amenities. It’s luxury RV camping at its finest.
The Bison Sanctuary: A Living Connection to the Land
What sets Zion White Bison apart from other glamping destinations is its commitment to conservation. The resort is home to a bison sanctuary featuring three white bison, one brown bison, and three calves. These majestic creatures roam freely across the property, offering guests a rare glimpse into America’s natural heritage. A portion of every reservation directly supports the sanctuary, making your stay part of a larger conservation effort.
Activities and Amenities: Adventure by Day, Luxury by Night
On-Site Activities
The resort creates its own ecosystem of adventure and relaxation. The crystal-clear pool offers a refreshing escape from desert heat, while the pickleball courts provide friendly competition with a backdrop of red rock cliffs. Walking trails along the Virgin River let you explore the landscape at nature’s pace, and the amphitheater hosts evening gatherings under star-filled skies.
For those seeking quieter moments, the resort’s design encourages connection—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself. Fire pits scattered throughout the property become gathering places where stories are shared and s’mores are made. Each accommodation includes its own outdoor space, whether it’s a rooftop deck, private patio, or outdoor kitchen.
Gateway to Zion Adventures
The resort’s location provides easy access to Zion’s most famous attractions. Angels Landing, with its chain-assisted final ascent, offers unparalleled views for those willing to conquer their fear of heights. The Narrows, where hikers wade through the Virgin River between towering canyon walls, provides a completely different but equally stunning experience.
For a more relaxed adventure, the Emerald Pools Trail offers multiple waterfalls and hanging gardens accessible to most fitness levels. Canyon Overlook Trail rewards hikers with panoramic views of Zion Canyon, while Observation Point provides what many consider the park’s best vantage point.
The resort even offers shuttle service to the park entrance, eliminating parking hassles and letting you start your adventure the moment you step outside your accommodation.
