6/10 Good

Nice stay for visiting Zion NP

Lots of activities on the ranch (horseback riding, swimming, supboarding etc.) and lay-out was great. However, some facilities were in need of some remodelling and the cleaning of bath-/restroom need more attention. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed our stay here and it is a great option for when you are planning to visit Zion NP.

thomas, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Well, except or all of this...

So, this is our own fault. We should have complained more when we were there. I suppose this place is great if you have kids camping with you. Our propane tank was empty, no-one answers the phone number on the check-in instructions sheet. The bathrooms and showers are really moldy-mildewy-smelly, and our mattress (under the pad- we checked for bed bugs) was covered in mouse-poop that we cleaned up ourselves because, by this point, we were just feeling defeated by our choice. The glamping tent was in a tight circle and you really hear everything happening at the campfire in front of you and the circle of cabins behind you. The furniture was looking tired and early yard-sale in design. Maybe for you, not for us.

So unique and lovely! They just need to update the lighting fixtures.

The bath/shower area wasn’t that clean. The beds were not comfortable.
Arman, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing! Worth a longer stay

We regret not staying more than 1 night! We saw once we got there SO many activities on the property we just didnt get a chance to enjoy due to arriving late and leaving early but I could have stayed a week to reall enjoy all they had to offer. We had a cowboy suite which was amazing and there were no issues with any of the property or stay at all!

If there is a fire alert you can't make their barbecue in charcoal ok it's fine, but they don't have enough propane gas barbecue for everyone, but my stay was excellent thank you ponderosa

we unfortunately were only passing through, and did not spend much time at the resort; but i can say the staff were kind and professional, the cabin was clean and beautiful, and the beds were wonderful. we were 4 adults a child and 2 dogs - the price was incredible for fitting us all; AND it was 15 min from the park. i highly recommend!

We were thrilled with our stay. The cabin suite was perfect for our family of 4. It was convenient to the parks we wanted to visit. The restaurant was great. Highly recommend.

This was my first time staying at Ponderosa Ranch and it was a delightful experience. We went on a hike to Angel’s Landing and we’re looking for a nearby hotel and this is the perfect spot at a very affordable price. Awesome experience!
Bradley, 1-night trip

We stayed in a glamping tent and loved it. It was cold and snowy but the heater worked well. The bathrooms and showers were kept very clean. Lots of activities to do. And the scenery is so beautiful everywhere you look.

10/10 Exceptional

Cool place near Zion. Staff super friendly.
Nicole, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in one of the glamping tents at Zion Ponderosa Ranch, and it was everything we hoped for — a perfect blend of nature and comfort. The tent was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with electricity, quality bedding, and even a heater, which made it feel like true glamping rather than roughing it. The entire property is beautifully laid out, quiet, and peaceful — exactly what you’d want for a stay near Zion. Everything was within walking distance, and the parking and transportation setup was seamless and well-organized. The staff was exceptional across the board, and the highlight of our stay was the Observation Point hike, which we accessed easily via the East Zion Adventures shuttle. No complaints at all. We’d absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking to experience Zion without sacrificing comfort.
