On the Zion National Park page, scroll down to activities and experiences to find all available permit options. There are several options for overnight permits. The reservation process is the same for each kind. Once on the landing page, click Check Availability. First, choose the number of people in your group. Next, select the area you will start your trip. Pick a site or zone to camp overnight on the corresponding date or dates of your trip. When finished, click Book Now. Fill out all your order details. If you have a Recreation.gov account, your profile information should appear automatically. Review your group size. Select your entry and exit points. Provide Vehicle Information. Provide an Emergency Contact. Make sure to read the Need to Know section. Once the forms are completed and you agree to the Need to Know information, click Proceed to Cart. Review your cart and proceed to Payment. Enter your payment details. Review and Confirm Payment. Once your order is processed, you can view your reservations on Recreation.gov. Your reservation is NOT a Permit. You will need to pick up your permit in person at a Park Visitor Center either the day before or day of your trip. Learn more at go.nps.gov-zine-wilderness
