Zion National Park in October
Typical Oct weather is 70s to 80s daytime and 40s to upper 50s at night
We have seen just about all kinds of weather over the year at Zion in October.
From sunny hot days, hail, rain, (snow at Bryce), and absolutely per days as well. We camp in all kinds of weather. Once again, the National Park will give us a heads up if weather prevents us from camping. When they do they issue a refund. So far, we have never experienced a weather refund.
--------------------
What do we have at and near the campground
• Cell coverage is fair to good depending on the carrier
• Restroom (flush toilets)
• Food boxes so the squirrels don’t eat our food.
• Showers are a 15-minute walk from camp to town. $5 for 4 minutes.
• No power outlets. Bring so battery charges or charges in town while eating lunch or dinner.
• Bring a good sleeping bag and a good tent
--------------
You will need
• A National Park Pass or someone who is riding with you. It will save you money for the entrance fee and for Bryce Canyon as well.
• Carpooling Driver have money for your driver.
• I will have a list for camping equipment upon request.
--------------------
A GOOD ATTITUDE IS REQUIRED
A good attitude is a must. One person can bring down the whole group. That person is remembered for years to come. Sad, but true. Don’t be that one person. Go for a walk, unplug, go to bed early, do what you must do so we don’t remember that you were the one with off attitude. If it gets out of hand, I will speak to you, Kindly. I expect you give me back the same kindness. I have only refunded a membership twice in 9 years due uncontrollable bad attitude.
No Politics or Religious discussions. There are many conversations to have in the great outdoors…So two are not the discussions to have.
THERE IS A $10 JAR FOR BREAKING OUR POLITICS or RELIGION RULES
