We stayed last minute Jan 2nd and 3rd in the cowboy cabin. It was super affordable. We were impressed how warm and cozy the cabin was. We had close access to the bath house and pool. The bathroom was also heated very well. After hiking zion all day in the cold we enjoyed star gazing in the large outdoor hot tub. We stopped by the lodge and engorged ourselves in delish food. The off season staff was so pleasant and accommodating. I loved the self serve soda bar with Shirley temple mix while my fiancé enjoyed the actual bar. Our Cabin was loaded with towels and blankets and was extremely clean considering being in the middle of nowhere, not a bug in sight! As a young couple, we would recommend the cowboy cabin for an incredible experience. The only thing id change is there is no access to coffee untill 7:30 am. We had to brew our coffee the night before at the lodge and drink it cold in the morning before early hikes.

When I arrived, I checked in and got to my cowboy cabin to find all bed linens in a pile that had clearly been slept on. When I informed the staff, they looked at me as if I had done it myself to try and get a better cabin. I offered to take clean linens to my room to make the beds myself and they did end up providing me with an equal cabin. When we got to the next cabin, it was clean but built cheap. The bunk bed (queen) that they provide in these cabins are not meant for an adult on top. More of meant for kids and not very comfortable beds. I also saw rat traps outside of the cabin next to mine. They do offer a large variety of activities on site but I didn’t like how close everyone is to each other. Parking is very limited. We had two trucks and one truck had to be parked at the cabin with the unclean linens because there was not enough room. Cool dude ranch but won’t be back unfortunately.

This was our first experience glamping. The first glamping tent was perfect. It had been prepared for our arrival with a gas fire going and the room warm. An additional propane heater was available as well. The second glamping tent, however, was not prepared and it was as if they had forgotten we had paid for two. There was no gas fireplace in this tent and the propane heater was out of propane. We requested multiple times to have the heater fixed. They kept saying the service men had already fixed it or that someone was on their way. With all their failed promises to get it fixed, I didn't want them closing the office and leaving us cold through the night; so I waited in the office communicating by phone with my husband waiting at the tent until I knew it was fixed. It took them over an hour for them to get it finally done. As a result, the kids got to go swimming without us and dinner was really late at night. They promised to refund half our tent price as a result, which we are still waiting to receive. Other than that disappointment, it was a fun place to be.

Great camping/glamping spot. A little far from Zion proper, and they could be better about enforcing quiet hours. The screaming children playing nighttime mini golf was a little much.

The glamping tent only contained 2 beds and a couch. Mattres from the little bed was very poor, the blankets disgusting, ready for renewal. The gas heater bottle was empty after 1,5 hours, resulting in a cold night with blankets that could not keep you warm. Time for a make-over I would say. The area was fantastic.

The Poderosa Ranch (Zion National Park)

Our stay at the Ponderosa Ranch was for easy access to Zion National Park. This was a good close option to get to the park easily and enjoy our visit. Ponderosa is a mix of accommodation options from tent to Cabins at a reasonable cost. The cabin we had was located close to amenities and the main restaurant & reception. A range of activities are available to purchase from horse riding to off road buggies which can be booked on site. The restaurant offers a good menu and range of drinks there are also alternatives to choose from within 30 minutes of the ranch. There is a swimming pool with jacuzzi & two pools. I would recommend the Ponderosa as a good choice to stay.
