Lava Point Campground

Lava Point Campground is a primitive, high-elevation (7,890 ft) campground in Zion National Park with 6 tent-only sites accessible via Kolob Terrace Road, offering cooler temperatures and scenic views but requiring visitors to bring all water and supplies.

The campground provides direct access to Barney's Trail and the West Rim Trail, plus nearby Kolob Reservoir for fishing and water recreation, though vehicles longer than 19 feet are not permitted on the narrow access road.

Sites fill quickly on a first-come, first-served basis (typically May-September), each featuring a picnic table, fire ring, and pit toilets.
