Zion is one of Utah’s two national parks that has noncamping accommodations inside the park, at the historic Zion Lodge, opened in 1924 but rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1966.

Visitation to Zion has skyrocketed in the past 15 years or so, from 2.6 million in 2010 to a peak of just over 5 million in 2021, the National Park Service website shows.
